The Losers' Club: A Stephen King Podcast

As we near the end of our coverage surrounding Everything's Eventual, the Losers look toward TNT's oft-forgotten anthology series Nightmares & Dreamscapes: From the Stories of Stephen King. Join Losers Randall Colburn, Michael Roffman, and Jenn Adams as they take a wormhole back to 2006 to discuss more recently covered stories like "The Road Virus Heads North" and "Autopsy Room Four", in addition to stories from the titular collection. Elsewhere, the three also discuss the series' godawful CGI, the surprising physical turn of the late William Hurt, the enduring underdog appeal of Ron Livingston, and so much more. It should be noted this episode was originally recorded in June 2020 -- right around the time we covered Nightmares & Dreamscapes -- and has since been unlocked from The Barrens (Patreon).
