Episode 191-Interview with Castle Rock's Dustin Thomason
In this very special episode, co-creator and co-showrunner of Castle Rock, Dustin Thomason and I talk about all things Stephen King, the origins of Castle Rock, the push/pull of creativity v. continuity, why they settled on Alan Pangborn. . .and Polly Chalmers. If you are enjoying the show of the summer for 2018, then I believe you'll get a lot out of this episode. I want to thank Dustin for his thoughtfulness and generosity for takign the time (for God's sake, the man stepped away from editing the final episodes of his show to speak with me!) to sit down for this interview. Here we go, everyone! Sit back and enjoy my conversation with Dustin Thomason!

Episode 190-Castle Rock, Episode 4
"You had my curiousity, but now you have my attention." These words were uttered in the movie Django Unchained, but they sum up how I feel with Castle Rock, coming out of episode 4. This episode raised the bar in terms of stakes and weight. Make no mistake, Castle Rock has been a fun show until now, but with episode 4, it became a GREAT show. There's a lot to unpack, so freshen up with a high and tight in your local forest barber murder den, pop on some Roy Orbison and dive into Castle Rock, episode 4!

Episode 188-Castle Rock, Episode 1
Welcome back, or should I say, welcome home to Stephen King's most celebrated town, the one and only Castle Rock. We've all been waiting for this moment for over a year, since we first witnessed that surprise trailer drop on February 19th, 2017. And last night at midnight, the very first episode of this original series set within King's town was dropped. How did it fare? Did it live up to expectation? Want to discuss the many mysteries and Easter Eggs found within? Then you've come to the right place, everyone. Welcome back to Castle Rock!
