The Losers' Club: A Stephen King Podcast

There's a new shop in Castle Rock and the Losers are the first to check it out. It's a strange little store named Needful Things, and the shopkeeper is as charming as he is mercurial. They must be cautious. This is the first of two episodes covering Stephen King's epic 1991 classic. Chapters include: Intro, History/The Hook (16:00), Structure and Format (1:03:00), and Heroes and Villains (1:20:00). Follow us on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | PatreonHosted on Acast.

Are they coming out? Are they still in development? Head to the Barrens and find out. Follow us on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | PatreonHosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Losers return to the Barrens following a lengthy holiday hiatus -- and they've brought a guest. Jenn Adams of The Horror Virgin has tagged along to discuss the grisly crimes behind HBO's The Outsider. Together, they discuss Richard Price's turn into the supernatural, Cynthia Erivo's portrayal of Holly Gibney, and the show's delicate dance with tones. Shortly after, the three head to Castle Rock to close up shop on last year's explosive second season on Hulu. Follow us on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | PatreonHosted on Acast.
