Stephen King Cast

Episode Sixty Three-The Waste Lands

This week on the Stephen Kingcast, I board a train that takes me back to Mid-World for the third entry in Stephen King's Dark Tower series, The Waste Lands!  Considered by many to be the best Dark Tower book, the novel includes insane robots, a newly formed ka-tet, a haunted house, city pirates, ZZ Top and the introduction to our favorite Billy Bumbler, Oy!  

Does this book hold up?  Find out this week in The Stephen Kingcast!

Episode Sixty Two-Needful Things, The Movie

This week, I examine the adaptation of Stephen King's final Castle Rock story, Needful Things.  How does it compare to the book?  Find out this week in the Stephen Kingcast!

Episode Sixty One-Needful Things, Part Two

Please note that this is the second part of a two part episode.  

Episode Sixty-Needful Things, Part One

In this week's episode, I head back to Castle Rock one last time for Stephen King's final Castle Rock story, Needful Things. Starring The Dark Half's Alan Pangborn, our small town sheriff must battle ancient evil as it comes to town to tempt its citizens and turn small town life into chaos.  Does the grand finale of King's most famous fictional town end with a bang or a whimper?  Find out this week in the Stephen Kingcast!

Please note that this is part one of a two part episode. 

Episode Fifty Nine-The Sun Dog

In this week's final review of Four Past Midnight, I head back to Castle Rock for the prequel to 1991's final Castle Rock Story, Needful Things, with the small town tale of terror, The Sun Dog.  

Episode Fifty Eight-The Library Policeman

In this week's episode, I examine The Library Policeman, the third entry in Stephen King's 1990 novella collection, Four Past Midnight.  

Episode Fifty Seven-Secret Window

Welcome back to my ongoing review of everything related to Four Past Midnight!  This review examines 2004's Johnny Depp starring adaptation of Secret Window, Secret Garden, known to moviegoers simply as Secret Window.  This movie came out during the peak Johnny Depp reinvention years, just after he resurrected his career with Captain Jack Sparrow.  So what does peak Depp in a King adaptation look like?  Find out this week in the Stephen Kingcast!

Episode Fifty Six-Secret Window, Secret Garden

In this episode, I continue my examination of Stephen King's 1990 novella collection about our relationship with time, Four Past Midnight.  Specifically, I analyze the second entry, yet another tale of a writer and his writing, the suspenseful, introspective and very personal Secret Window, Secret Garden.  

Episode Fifty Five-The Langoliers Movie

In 1995, ABC decided to make a two part adaptation of Stephen King's The Langoliers. Is it as bad as you remember? The answer is no.  

It's worse.  

Episode Fifty Four-The Langoliers

The next six episodes of the Stephen Kingcast will examine Stephen King's 1990's novella collection, Four Past Midnight. Four Past Midnight begins with The Langoliers, a bonkers tale involving time travel and giant balls of teeth that eat the fourth dimension.  Is this novella as good to us as the past is to the Langoliers?  Find out this week in the Stephen Kingcast!
