The Losers' Club: A Stephen King Podcast

Sorry Henry Rollins, we're havin' a TV party tonight, and we've got one name on the mind: Stephen King. Sit back and relax, Constant Listeners, as the Losers see what they can learn from TV’s treatment of King — the jokes, the references, and the shows that, if not for him, might not exist. Cheers to Perfect Strangers, Lost to Supernatural, Family Guy to Rick and Morty, Randall, Jenn, and Caffrey unpack it all. No remote necessary. Note: This episode was recorded in May 2023 and is being unlocked from the Derry Private Library.Follow on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Patreon Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Losers untie another big ol' Bag of Bones and answer your questions. Questions like "If you were to teach a college level course on Stephen King what required reading would you put on the syllabus?”; “Which musician is the most like King? Be it output or career similarities"; “What King books do you think Tabby had the most influence / oversight on?”; and more. They also discuss favorite graphic novels, the best sketches of this season's I Think You Should Leave, and horror movie trailers that oversold the movie.

Joining The Losers’ Club this week is Chris Adams, author of Out for Blood: A Cultural History of Carrie the Musical, which is out July 27th via Bloomsbury Publishing. Per its synopsis, Out for Blood patches together “memories, archive material and contemporary reports to dive into the origins and development of this infamous show and examines how a promising entertainment product can swiftly gain a notorious reputation, what makes or breaks a Broadway show, and how even the most unlikely of musicals can find its place in the hearts of fans around the world.” Adams chats with the Losers about the musical’s development, the urban legends clouding its history, and what separates its original and modern versions. He also discusses what spurred his love for the musical and the 10-part podcast (also called Out for Blood) that paved the way for the book itself.Follow us on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | PatreonHosted on Acast.

The Losers review Rob Savage's The Boogeyman. Together, they discuss the creature design, the connection to It, the nastiness of the original story, the mental health metaphor, the in-world rules/lore, the goofy cameo joke, and our own Boogeymen when we were kids.Follow us on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | PatreonHosted on Acast.

The Losers are joined by filmmaker, screenwriter, editor, and producer Rob Savage, whose latest film The Boogeyman is haunting theaters everywhere. Together, they discuss growing up with Stephen King in the UK, the transition from found footage to traditional narrative, shooting in the dark, the monster vs. the metaphor, and working with a major studio. He also discusses his affinity for Stanley Kubrick's The Shining, shares an anecdote involving King, and singles out the next story he'd love to adapt (spoiler: The Langoliers).Follow us on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | PatreonHosted on Acast.
