Episode Fifty Three-Mick Garris' The Stand, Part Two

Please note, this is the second part of a two part review. 

Episode Fifty Two-Mick Garris' The Stand, Part One

In 1994, Mick Garris had the unenviable task of bringing one of King's most beloved novels to life on ABC.  People tuned in to watch it, and it certainly remained faithful to the text, but does that make for a good adaptation?  Find out this week in The Stephen Kingcast!

Please note that this is the first part of a two part review.  

Bonus Episode-Stand By The Tower

In this special bonus episode of The Stephen Kingcast, I examine the novel's relationship to King's long running series, The Dark Tower.  It doesn't matter if you're following the beam or broken down highways. . .all roads lead to the Tower!

Episode Fifty One-The Stand, Part Three

In this week's episode, I conclude my review of Stephen King's The Stand.  I finish my running analysis of the events of the story, tackle the themes, explore the characters, and dive into the Easter Eggs and Stephen Kingisms.

Episode Forty Nine-The Stand, Part One

Welcome back to the Stephen Kingcast!  This week, I kick off the summer by launching into a month long examination of what many consider to be Stephen King's best novel, the ultimate tale of Good and Evil in the ruins of America: The Stand!  

How does it stack up to his other novels? Find out this week in the Stephen Kingcast!

Episode Forty Eight- George Romero's The Dark Half

In this week's episode, I examine the collaboration between the mastermind behind the Night of the Living Dead and the master of Horror.  How does the adaptation of the ultra-personal exploration of a man and his creation turn out?  Find out this week in my review of George Romero's The Dark Half!

Bonus Episode-Alan Pangborn, Gunslinger

In this bonus edition of the Stephen Kingcast, I discuss the awesomeness of Alan Pangborn and my frustrations in his lack of placement in the greater Stephen King Universe.  

Episode Forty Seven-The Dark Half

The Sparrows Are Flying Again this week in the Stephen Kingcast!  In this week's review, I look at 1989's fictional metatextual story of alter-egos and twins.  With The Dark Half, King summons the ghost of Richard Bachman whose alter ego, George Stark, cuts a bloody swath through the Northeast on his way to reclaim his life from author Thad Beaumont.  Fans of Needful Things will know that this also marks the first appearance of Castle Rock Sheriff Alan Pangborn.  My biggest question is: why don't more people talk about this novel?  Find out in this week's episode!

Episode Forty Six-The Tommyknockers

In this week's out-of-this-world review, I examine one of King's most reviled novels.  Is the novel worthy of all of the hate it's received?  Find out this week as I analyze The Tommyknockers!
