Stephen King Cast

Episode Ninety Six-Just After Sunset

In this week of The Stephen Kingcast, I take a look at King's short story collection, Just After Sunset, which might include his greatest short story of all time: N.  Find out this week in the Stephen Kingcast!

Episode Ninety Five-Duma Key

Last week, I examined a novel that King claims is his best, a claim that I strongly disagree with.  However, it does serve as half of an effective one-two punch that is followed by Duma Key.  What does Stephen King have to say about fatherhood, fathers and daughters, second chances and artistry?  Find out this week in the Stephen Kingcast!

Episode Ninety Four-Lisey's Story

With Lisey's Story, King published what he calls his best novel.  That's a bold statement to make.  While one can certainly see why it would be his most personal, does Lisey's Story really hold up to the mantle of being his best?  Find out this week in the Stephen Kingcast!

Bonus Episode-Race To The Tower

In this special bonus episode, I examine the possible casting of Idris Elba as Roland, The Gunslinger!  

Episode Ninety Three-Cell

With Cell, critics claimed this was Stephen King's return to horror.  What we have certainly sounds like classic King: an every day object/concept spun into a nightmarish tale.  However, released in the midst of the early 2000s zombie wave that began with 28 Days Later, Dawn of the Dead, Shaun of the Dead, does Cell really have that much to say?  Find out this week in the Stephen Kingcast!

Episode Ninety Two-The Dark Tower, Part Two

With this episode, our journey to the Dark Tower concludes. 

Episode Ninety One-The Dark Tower, Part One

Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen!  In this week's episode, the first of a two part review, I analyze the strengths and weaknesses of King's swan song of Mid-World and his decades long story of the Gunslinger's quest to reach the fabled Dark Tower.  

Episode Ninety-Song of Susannah

This week's episode continues my examination of the last leg of the journey to the Dark Tower with Song of Susannah.  How does it compare to the other Dark Tower books? Find out this week in the Stephen Kingcast!

Episode Eighty Nine-Wolves of the Calla

In this week's episode, I begin the final stretch of our journey to the Dark Tower.  With the publication of the Wolves of the Calla, King began an unprecedented back-to-back-to-back book release that completed the long running series.  The first Dark Tower novel since his car crash, Wolves of the Calla stands as a dividing line that marks the different eras of the Dark Tower series.  How does it hold up?  Is it worthy of the previous entries?  Are you ready, everyone?  The end begins now.  

Episode Eighty Eight-1408

Hello, everyone and welcome back to this week's episode of the Stephen Kingcast.  This week, I review the John Cusak, Samuel L Jackson thriller, 1408.
