The Losers' Club: A Stephen King Podcast
Bloody FM
Founded in 2017, The Losers’ Club® is an award-winning weekly series that chronologically digs through the work of Stephen King with humor, irreverence, and a critical eye. Each episode, the Losers gather together to read between the iconic pages and share the latest in King’s Dominion, whether it’s the author’s oft-controversial tweets, the boldest Hollywood headlines, or his endless forthcoming projects. The series also regularly features special guests. In the past, the Losers have spoken to Mike Flanagan, Thomas Jane, Tananarive Due, Chapo Trap House, Owen Teague, Mick Garris, Mary Lambert, Jerry O’Connell, Wil Wheaton, Joe Bob Briggs, and even King himself.

Insomnia
The Losers return to Derry, Maine for some much-needed R&R. Maybe it's the pillow, or the weather, or straight-up allergies, but they just can't seem to get any shut-eye. Even worse, they're having these bizarre visions and being chased by little bald doctors. Join Randall Colburn, Ahse Digg, Dan Pfleegor, and Jenn Adams as they discuss the multiverse madness within Stephen King's 1994 horror fantasy novel Insomnia. Together, they discuss the grimy horror within and the many, many connections to The Dark Tower. Somewhere along the way, they find a way to sleep.Chapters include: Intro (:35), History (5:18), The Hook (23:00), Structure & Format (47:00), Heroes & Villains (54:25), Misery (1:40:45), Word Processor of the Gods (1:53:00), Sematary (2:03:00), Poundcake (2:17:45), King's Dominion (2:26:30), Maximum Spoilers (2:41:38), Overall Thoughts (2:45:51), and Outro (2:50:00).Follow us on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | PatreonHosted on Acast.

Nightmares and Dreamscapes Adaptations
The Losers are finally closing the book on Stephen King's Nightmares and Dreamscapes after two long months of coverage. To clean up shop, they're revisiting the remaining adaptations to discuss, specifically 2009’s Dolan’s Cadillac, 1997’s The Night Flier, "Chattery Teeth" from 1997’s Quicksilver Highway, and "The Moving Finger" from 1991’s Monsters. Unfortunately, they couldn't find a stream of "Sorry, Right Number" from the fourth season of Tales from the Darkside, so that one remains lost in the thinny. Alas, topics range from Christian Slater's mid-aughts career, to the sexual appeal of Miguel Ferrer, to the Golden Age of horror anthologies, and, naturally, to Tom Selleck. You've been warned.Follow us on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Podchaser | PatreonHosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
