Storm of the Century
The Losers have departed for Little Tall Island—also the setting of King’s Dolores Claiborne—to unpack the twisty moral quandary at the center of Stephen King's underloved three-part series, Storm of the Century. Along the way, they debate the story’s ambiguities, that bummer of an ending, and an ensemble that just might rank among King’s best.Follow us on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | PatreonHosted on Acast.

Danse Macabre: Something Wicked This Way Comes
Danse Macabre is a recurring feature of The Losers' Club that journeys through all the books that influenced Stephen King. (You know, as he listed in 1981's Danse Macabre. Ahem, hence the name of this series.) In the past, this feature has flipped through the pages of Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House and William Golding's Lord of the Flies. Today, however, the Losers find themselves in Green Town, Illinois revisiting Ray Bradbury's 1962 dark fantasy novel, Something Wicked This Way Comes. Join Dan Caffrey, Rachel Reeves, Mel Kassel, and Michael Roffman as they praise Bradbury's autumnal prose, lose themselves to bizarre Gene Kelly tangents, connect the dots to King's Dominion, and wrestle with the endurance of imagination.Follow us on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | PatreonHosted on Acast.
