The Losers' Club: A Stephen King Podcast

It's beginning to look a lot like Kingmas. Join Losers Michael Roffman, Jenn Adams, Sammie Kuykendall, and special guest Julia Marchese as they dream up the perfect gifts for Constant Readers both naughty and nice. Think of it as a Stephen King gift guide of sorts. Eh, more like a wishlist.Follow us on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | PatreonHosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Losers are joined by author and musician Dave Musson, who has just published The Ultimate Stephen King Quiz Book. An essential tome for Constant Readers and especially Constant Quizzers, the book features more than 3,000 questions spread across 172 individual, 19-question quizzes that cover every novel, collection, and adaptation in King's Dominion. Dave calls it "a true test for Constant Readers everywhere." Naturally, the Losers had to take him up on the challenge.Follow us on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | PatreonHosted on Acast.

Here's a preview of the latest installment of our Patreon exclusive series Stephen King Archives, which finds the Losers returning to the year 1977, a particularly crossroads period for King as he measured his own fame and success following Brian De Palma's Carrie and his chilling blockbuster third novel The Shining. It's also the year he returned to himself in The Dark Tower VI: Song of Susannah. Why? The Losers weigh in.Want to hear the full track? Become a member of The Barrens (Patreon) by visiting www.patreon.com/thebarrens.

The Dark Tower looms, but first? Dinner at the Dixie Pig. Join Losers Randall Colburn, Ana Marie Cox, Dan Pfleegor, and Dan Caffrey as they unpack the labyrinthian lore behind Stephen King's penultimate entry along the beam: Song of Susannah. Together, they discuss the intriguing array of supporting characters and metafictional flourishes. Does the book’s most infamous cameo work — or is it a case of the author eating his own tail? Also, what does the book have to say about the tension between magic and science?Follow us on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | PatreonHosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hot off our deep dive into The Mist, the great Thomas Jane returns to the show to discuss his life with Stephen King and his latest feature Slayers. He also weighs in on his favorite Hollywood leading men, alternative comic books, current needle drops in his life, his work behind Renegade Entertainment (including an update on From A Buick 8), and his favorite turn in King's Dominion. Is it Dreamcatcher? The Mist? 1922? You'll have to listen to find out. Follow us on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Patreon | StoreHosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It appears we may have a problem of some magnitude. Join the Losers at the Food House in Bridgton, Maine as they celebrate the 15th anniversary of Frank Darabont's The Mist. Together, they take inventory of the film's inspired ensemble cast, debate the themes within, marvel at Darabont's handiwork, and sort through all the macabre monsters that still terrify us all these years later. This being a Long Watch installment, it's as immersive as it is exhaustive. Bonus: As part of the celebration, we also spoke to star Thomas Jane again, and you can find that interview in the feed above.

The Losers find themselves in Hell where they're surrounded by the most scorching Stephen King hot takes they've read to date. Yes, you've waited long enough -- nearly four years, if you can believe it -- but we're back with another installment of Firestarters. For context, this feature sees the Club sift through hot takes submitted by their Overlook patrons. Each one is classified as mild, medium, or hot, and, let's just say, you're gonna need some milk as this episode rolls on. Want to submit a hot take next time around?
