The Losers' Club: A Stephen King Podcast

It's Y2King! The Losers dial back to 2000 and revisit Stephen King's two e-books: the as-yet-unfinished The Plant and the "Riding the Bullet". Together, they unpack the stories alongside the DIY boom of the early Internet age. Along the way, they touch on how King’s accident informs “Riding the Bullet,” as well as the question of whether we even want to see a finished version of The Plant, one of the strangest relics in the King canon. Also, how did that whole e-book thing pan out?Follow us on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | PatreonHosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Losers close the book on 1999's Hearts in Atlantis by revisiting its 2001 adaptation with director Scott Hicks. The Oscar-nominated filmmaker walks 'em through the serendipitous pre-production that proves Ka is indeed a wheel and shares a number of heartwarming anecdotes involving Sir Anthony Hopkins and the late Anton Yelchin.Follow us on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | PatreonHosted on Acast.

After defrocking the “Low Men” last week, the Losers reconvene to untangle what’s easily Stephen King’s most thematically knotty collection: “Hearts in Atlantis”, “Blind Willie", “Why We’re in Vietnam", and “Heavenly Shades of Night Are Falling". Together, they discuss King’s political evolution, the corruption of idealism, and the many ways these stories dovetail with “Low Men in Yellow Coats”. Oh, and falling pianos. Follow us on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Patreon | StoreHosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Is “Low Men in Yellow Coats” a good title or a dumb one? Is it a novel or a novella? And is it best remembered as a gutting portrait of lost innocence or an integral stop on the road to the Dark Tower? As the Losers discover in the first of two episodes dedicated to Stephen King’s Hearts In Atlantis, there are no easy answers.
