Do you like Stephen King? Do you like t-shirts? Do you like Stephen King t-shirts? This week, I decided to re-release my 2017 conversation with Matt Kellick, the owner of http://www.ka-tet19.net.  During the hour long conversation, we talk about art, creativity and how he merged his passion for t-shirts and Stephen King into a business. It was a great experience to talk to him about his art, his background and what he has in store for us next! Please do yourself a favor and check out his site. From shirts to hats to hoodies to masks, if you want some sort of King apparel, you'll find what you're looking for. I guarantee it.

Hello all! Welcome to this week's episode. I have a big announcement to drop. But first, I share some listener e-mail, some iTunes reviews, discuss my general thoughts on The Outsider and quickly share my experience with Doctor Sleep: The Director's Cut. And then I get to the announcement. 

Welcome back! Let's talk about listener e-mail, some iTunes reviews, gush over Holly Gibney and get ready for Locke and Key! February is a great month for King fans!

 It's good! I love it! Tune in to find out why! Be warned that I read listener e-mail and iTunes reviews before getting to my thoughts. 

In anticipation of the premiere of HBO’s soon to be latest hit, I’ve decided to re-release the genre-flipping crime horror 2018 novel. 

I didn't think I was going to do it, but I did! Here is a top ten of the most important/best/impactful/influential works or adaptations of the works of a Stephen King property from the last decade. The beginning of the decade started out a little rocky, but as we head into 2020, he's back on top, possibly sitting larger than ever before.  2010-2019 gave us a lot of Stephen King content (including this podcast!), so plug in and hear me out as I rank my top ten works of Stephen King over the last decade!

Welcome back! As promised in the last episode, I conclude my thoughts on Full Throttle with an in-depth review of "In the Tall Grass," both the short story and the 2019 Netflix movie. How do they compare? Find out this week in the Stephen Kingcast!

I take a break from Stephen King this week to celebrate Joe Hill's recent collection of short stories, Full Throttle. If you haven't checked out Joe Hill's previous works, please do so! And if you haven't had a chance to treat yourself to Full Throttle, give yourself an early Christmas present. It's worth it. Find out all of my thoughts on each of the stories here!

Well, every story except one. I did not review In The Tall Grass, because I will publish a separate episode next week in which I review both that story and the recent Netflix adaption of the same name. So stay tuned for that one! In the meantime, enjoy!

As always, feel free to write in at [email protected] and please leave a review on iTunes when you get a chance. It's greatly appreciated.

It's a week late, but better late than never! Here are all my thoughts on Mike Flanagan's Doctor Sleep!  For additional thoughts on Doctor Sleep, make sure you check out my review of King's 2013 novel.

Hello all! In anticipation of Mike Flanagan's film of the same name, I've decided to re-release my review of King's book. I won't be able to see the movie until next week, so I hope that this tides you over. With the positive buzz surrounding the movie, I'm glad that a lot of people are re-examining how they originally felt about the book. For all of my thoughts on why this story works, check out my review and stay tuned for all of my thoughts on the movie in an upcoming episode!

Welcome back! In this easy, breezy ep, I turn my thoughts towards episode 2 of Castle Rock, Season 2.

I heard there was a new season of a Stephen King show floating about the world. I wanted to talk about it!

Welcome back! This week, I discuss the recent trailer for The Outsider, preview Castle Rock season 2, discuss my thoughts on The Stand casting, quickly review In The Tall Grass, read some listener e-mails and finish up with an in-depth review of The Institute. If you have any time on your hands, please leave a review on iTunes, and if you want to write in, e-mail [email protected]

Here it is! My thoughts on It Chapter 2! Beforehand, I discuss the recent Stand casting and speculate on the final Doctor Sleep Trailer. Enjoy!

Before you get my thoughts on Chapter 2, you can listen to my re-release of Chapter 1!

Welcome to the end of Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez's Locke and Key! 

This episode is a little different. In the first twenty minutes, I eulogize one of my furry co hosts before moving on to my review of Locke and Key, Vol 5: Clockworks. 

If you love dogs and want to give to a good cause, please check out: snortrescue.org

In this week's episode, I continue my review of Hill and Rodriguez's comic book classic, Locke and Key.

Sorry for the delay! But I'm back to talk about San Diego Comic Con, read some listener e-mail, iTunes reviews and my thoughts on Locke and Key, Volume 3: Crown of Shadows!

Welcome back! This week, I dive into the second story arc within Locke and Key, Head Games!

Hooo boy, this one's a doozy! After an eternity of promises, I finally follow through on my review of Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez's phenomenal comic book series, Locke and Key.  Stay tuned through the next couple months as I make my way through the entirety of the series, marveling at Hill's plotting and characterization, and Rodriguez's ability to bring this story to life on the page.  In this episode, I read some listener e-mail, iTunes reviews, and start off my review with a deep dive into the history/recent history of the horror genre within the comic book medium. So although the episode title suggests that I only talk about Locke and Key, don't be fooled! In this episode you get all my thoughts on Swamp Thing, Sandman, The Wake, The Walking Dead, Gideon Falls, The Ice Cream Man and so much more!

I'm alive! For real! And I'm back to give my thoughts on the It: Chapter 2 Trailer, the Doctor Sleep Trailer, Amazon's Dark Tower series, Hulu's Eyes of the Dragon announcement, The Stand casting and the first episode of NOS4A2.  Phew! It's a doozy, folks.  As always, if you have the opportunity, please leave a review on iTunes and write into [email protected]

Now that you can watch NOS4A2 weekly on AMC, feel free to check out the re-release of my review of the book that inspired it. 

Happy 200 episodes! Thank you for staying with me on this ride for this long. I really appreciate it, gang. It's been a fun one. On this episode, I read listener e-mail, iTunes reviews, share some Stephen King news and conclude with an in-depth review of the new Pet Sematary film.

Hey, gang! In anticipation of the upcoming film, I've decided to re-release my review of the book that started it all. And don't worry. I'll be sure to review the new film when I see it!

I'm alive! Don't worry, everyone! I'm still here. I'm sorry for the lengthy delay in episodes, but I'm back to give an update on the health of one of our furry co-hosts, discuss the newest Pet Sematary trailer, mindlessly speculate on The Institute and a whole slew of SK and Joe Hill related news.  Happy 2019!

Happy Thanksgiving! It's a jammed packed episode in which I give my general thoughts on The Haunting of Hill House, my review of the Pet Sematary trailer and a deeper look into the recent publication of Elevation.  Have a great Thanksgiving, everyone. I know I'm thankful for all of the support throughout the years. 

Here we are at the conclusion of Castle Rock? Did it live up to expectations? What did it all mean? What were Thomason and Shaw playing at this entire time? Tune into this episode to find out!

There are other worlds than these.

Things have begun to spiral out of control within this sleepy little berg. Thankfully that makes for thrilling television!

Grab your tissues. You're going to need them.

Oooooh, boy, this show is getting good, guys!

Welcome back, everyone! In this week, I talk about the recent news regarding Castle Rock season 2, dive into some e-mails and review episode 5! 

In this very special episode, co-creator and co-showrunner of Castle Rock, Dustin Thomason and I talk about all things Stephen King, the origins of Castle Rock, the push/pull of creativity v. continuity, why they settled on Alan Pangborn. . .and Polly Chalmers.  If you are enjoying the show of the summer for 2018, then I believe you'll get a lot out of this episode.  I want to thank Dustin for his thoughtfulness and generosity for takign the time (for God's sake, the man stepped away from editing the final episodes of his show to speak with me!) to sit down for this interview.  Here we go, everyone! Sit back and enjoy my conversation with Dustin Thomason!

"You had my curiousity, but now you have my attention." These words were uttered in the movie Django Unchained, but they sum up how I feel with Castle Rock, coming out of episode 4. This episode raised the bar in terms of stakes and weight. Make no mistake, Castle Rock has been a fun show until now, but with episode 4, it became a GREAT show. There's a lot to unpack, so freshen up with a high and tight in your local forest barber murder den, pop on some Roy Orbison and dive into Castle Rock, episode 4!

Welcome back, everyone! Here are all my thoughts on Castle Rock's second and third episodes.

Welcome back, or should I say, welcome home to Stephen King's most celebrated town, the one and only Castle Rock. We've all been waiting for this moment for over a year, since we first witnessed that surprise trailer drop on February 19th, 2017.  And last night at midnight, the very first episode of this original series set within King's town was dropped.  How did it fare? Did it live up to expectation? Want to discuss the many mysteries and Easter Eggs found within? Then you've come to the right place, everyone.  Welcome back to Castle Rock!

Welcome back, everyone! A listener recently asked me to provide an update on all of the upcoming Stephen King adaptations to look forward to, so here you have it! 

In this episode, I conclude my review of the adaptation of Stephen King's Mr. Mercedes!

In this episode, I continue to examine the television adaptation of Mr. Mercedes, reviewing episodes 3-6.  Enjoy! I know I did!

For my upcoming look at the Mr. Mercedes television show, I’ve decided to re-release my review of episodes 1-2. 

Welcome back, everyone! In this week, I share all my thoughts on the remaining short stories from Just After Sunset!

Hidy, ho, everyone!  I'm back with a follow up review to my previous episode of Everything's Eventual!  Enjoy!

Welcome back for my review of the Christian Slater/Wes Bently starring . . .ahem. . .vehicle. 

Welcome back, everyone! I'm here to review the remaining stories of Nightmares and Dreamscapes!

In order to prepare for my second part of my review of Nightmares and Dreamscapes, I’ve decided to re-release my original review. Enjoy!

Welcome back, everyone! Last week, King released his newest novel, The Outsider! Part crime-fiction, part supernatural, it's a great blend of the genres that King loves, and the mix creates for a new, enjoyable experience that plays upon real-world fears.  Plus, it includes the appearance of a fan-favorite Stephen King character! That was such a treat!

Plug in, and let's take a virtual tour of 1992's nonsensical quasi-adaptation of Stephen King's short story. 

Okay, everyone! I'm back to review all of the short stories I didn't get around to the first time around when I reviewed Stephen King's Skeleton Crew, back in the long, long ago.  So buckle up, pop those earbuds in and join me on a journey through King's fantastic collection of short story horror!

Hello all! Just to get ready for my return to the short stories of Stephen King, I've decided to re-release my original review of Skeleton Crew!  Shortly after, I will release my brand new episode in which I finishing reviewing the stories in this collection!

Welcome back, everyone! In this episode, I break down the big news stories surrounding upcoming King adaptations (Pet Semetary, The Talisman, It Part 2, The Tommyknockers, In The Tall Grass and more), read some listener e-mail and preview what the summer holds for the Stephen Kingcast (spoiler alert: I'm back to podcasting on a weekly basis!)

Today, I published the introductory episode to my newest podcast, Hanging With Agent Cooper: A Twin Peaks Podcast.  Beginning on May 21st, 2018, I will review every episode of Twin Peaks: The Return on the one year anniversary of when each episode aired.  If you are a Twin Peaks fan, please subscribe to:

Hey guys! This past weekend, news hit that a big-budget adaptation of The Tommyknockers directed by The Conjuring and Insidious director James Wan was being shopped around.  So I decided to share my thoughts on this, along with my thoughts on some news regarding The Stand adaptation.  But because The Tommyknockers is such a maligned and unloved novel, I thought it was important for people to be able to see it in a different light, so I've re-released my review of the book, which isn't without it's flaws, but is jam-packed with wonderful ideas, imagery and chills that make me excited for whatever James Wan (I trust that guy!) has up his sleeve.

Happy February, everyone! I just wanted to pop in, say "hi" and give a tour of Stephen King news to get us excited about 2018. 

Hey guys! I'm hearing word that my End of Watch episode from 2016 hasn't been available, so I'm attempting to re-release it in the hopes that anyone trying to listen to it will be able to!

I delve back into the works of not Stephen King, but his son, Joe Hill with the latest collection of potent, politically charged "What Ifs?" Clocking in at over 2 hours long, I have a lot to say about Hill's latest collection of masterpieces.

Happy Life Day, everyone! I'm here to spread the Festivus Cheer with an episode in which I look ahead at my podcasting endeavors (cough *Twin Peaks* cough), read some listener e-mails, iTunes reviews and share my general thoughts on Stranger Things Season 2. Happy Holidays, everyone, and I'll see you in 2018!

Welcome back, everyone!  I'm sorry about the unexpected hiatus, but I'm back to review King and King's collaboration, the timely Sleeping Beauties.  Enjoy!

Welcome back, everyone! Last night, 1922 dropped on Netflix, and I'm back again to give all my thoughts on King's latest adaptation. 

Happy Friday 13th, everyone!  This week, I review the big Stephen King news that hit us this week, including the possibility of King writing a new Dark Tower story, Josh Boone writing The Talisman for Amblin Entertainment and share my thoughts on the Castle Rock trailer before (finally) reviewing the camptastic 80's legend, Maximum Overdrive.  Fill up and take this episode out for a ride!

Welcome back, everyone! This weekend, I settled in to Netflix and Chill with Mike Flanagan's dream project, the adaptation of Gerald's Game! How does he do with the challenging material?  Does he do it justice? Does he improve upon it?  Find out this week in the Stephen Kingcast!

In honor of Mike Flanagan's adaptation, I am re-releasing my episode where I discussed the book. Stay tuned for my thoughts on the movie later this weekend!

Like Pennywise after every 27 years, I've returned to Derry!  I've gone out to the theater (a regular one this time) to see the movie in a less distracting setting and am able to give my final thoughts ont he 2017 mega-blockbuster.  Also, I discuss the upcoming Netflix adaptations of Gerald's Game and 1922 before finishing off with a slew of listener e-mails regarding It.

Welcome back, everyone!  At long last, I present my thoughts on the latest adaptation of King's 1986 masterpiece, the mega-blockbuster, It!  This will be the first of a two part review, with the second part coming later in the week.  Thank you for being patient, everyone.  I hope you enjoy!

Welcome back, everyone!  Here's the final part of my 3 part review of King's 1986 masterpiece.  Make sure you tune in this weekend for my review of the upcoming film!  Have a great weekend, everyone!  And watch out for those sewer grates!

(Note: This is a re-release.  The episode first aired in 2015.)

Welcome back, everyone!  Here is my re-release of the second part of my 3 part It review.  Make sure that you stick around for Part Three, and DEFINITELY make sure you tune in to my review of the upcoming cinematic adaption!

To celebrate the upcoming release of It, I'm re-releasing my reviews of King's masterpiece.  Enjoy!

From the original episode description:

In 1986, the master of horror released the novel worthy of his title.  This novel reflected many of the themes, characters, and story beats that he had introduced in his earlier novels and stands as his ultimate thesis of the horror genre.  More importantly, it is the pinnacle of coming of age stories, a tale that places childhood friends at the center of a cosmic conflict, and only through the power of friendship can we overcome our fears.  If that doesn't speak to Mr. King's sensibilities, I don't know what does. 

Welcome back, everyone!  In this episode, I discuss some Castle Rock casting, some early buzz around the upcoming IT adaptation and review 1984's Cat's Eye!  Enjoy!

I have long been on record as a critic of King's Mr. Mercedes trilogy.  So when I heard that David E. Kelly was making a television based on this property, I was less than interested.  Now that I've watched two episodes of this series, how do I feel about Bill, Brady, Jerome and the gang?  Tune in and find out!

Hello, everyone!  In this week's episode, I take a break from analysis to have a conversation with Matt Kellick, the owner of http://www.ka-tet19.net.  During the hour long conversation, we talk about art, creativity and how he merged his passion for t-shirts and Stephen King into a business. I've plugged his stuff on the show for the last few months, and it was a great experience to talk to him about his art, his background and what he has in store for us next!

WARNING: During the course of the conversation, Matt and I spoil the events of Stephen King novels, including the plot points of The Dark Tower series. 

After all these years.  After all these centuries. . .The Dark Tower (movie).  I have a feeling that my review of The Dark Tower will be more memorable than the film itself. 

If you want the coolest Dark Tower t-shirts, then head on over to http://www.ka-tet19.net!

Welcome back, everyone!  In this very special episode of the Stephen King Cast, I had the opportunity to speak with Josh Brucker, the writer/director of the upcoming adaptation of Stephen King's short story, "One For the Road."  To help support this movie, head over to:

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/one-for-the-road-starring-lance-henriksen-horror#/

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/one-for-the-road-starring-lance-henriksen-horror/#/

I also encourage you all to get your Stephen King schwag from:

https://www.ka-tet19.net/

Welcome back, everyone!  In this week's episode, I kick off a dive back into King's first collection of short stories, Night Shift.  I examine the stories I didn't cover in my original review, answer listener e-mail, discuss some King movie news (www.onefortheroad2018.com) and peddle some dope t-shirts (http://www.ka-tet19.net)!

In preparation for my return to Stephen King's short story collections, I'm re-releasing my original review of the stories collected within Night Shift.  Stay tuned for my next episode in which I review the stories I didn't get around to the first time.

In this episode, I review episodes 1-3 of Spike TV's The Mist.  

Ladies and Gentlemen, I am pleased to announce that at long last, I am BACK to podcasting on a weekly basis.  And to kick off the Stephen Kingcast 2.0, I present my review of King and Chizmar's collaboration, a return to your favorite small town (with an appearance from your favorite Walkin' Dude!): Gwendy's Button Box.

At long last, I have finally reached my personal Dark Tower. . .The Dark Tower trailer. 

Wow.  I didn't know I was going to be as excited as I currently am about the upcoming It adaptation.  This week was an incredible week to be a fan of Stephen King.  On Tuesday, we were treated to a poster and a tease for a record-smashing trailer that ultimately debuted on Wednesday.  Between the incredible poster and the trailer, my expectations for this movie are now very high.  In this week's episode, I review this past week and break down WHY this trailer is as effective as it is. 

Hello, everyone!  In this episode, I review the official first poster of The Dark Tower, discuss the passing of Bernie Wrightson and provide an update on the future of the Stephen Kingcast.  This was a spur of the moment recording (because I didn't expect the poster to arrive) so I apologize for the lack of microphone and song intro/outro.

In honor of all of the New Englanders snowed in by Nor'easter Stella, I'm re-releasing my review of The Storm of the Century! 

Last night, Constant Readers were surprised with an unannounced teaser revealing a collaboration between Stephen King and JJ Abrams about Maine's most famous fictional small town, Castle Rock.  In this episode, I break down what was given to us and examine what it might mean for the show itself. 

In this week's episode, I do a deep dive analysis exploring the relationship between The Stand and the Dark Tower.  Enjoy!

Welcome back, everyone.  Due to the political turmoil in the country, I am re-releasing my reviews of The Stand.  Here is the third part of my analysis of Stephen King's analysis. 

Welcome back, everyone.  In this week's episode, due to the current state of our country, I have re-released the second part to my analysis of The Stand. 

Welcome back, everyone.  Based on recent current events, I thought it was pertinent to re-release my examination of King's The Stand.  When I watch millions of women and men gather together to protest intolerance and bigotry, when your neighbors leave their homes to protect your rights while others threaten to take those rights away, I can't help but think of Mother Abigail's message to her people.  Remember, at the end of the world, God did not ask His people to go to war with Randall Flagg.  He merely asked His people to stand against him.  I'm re-releasing my reviews of Stephen King's classic in honor of everyone who is out there making their stand. 

And for the record, despite what I say in this episode, I do NOT believe that Fran's baby is the Crimson King! :)

Welcome back everyone.  Due to the passing of Miguel Ferrer, who played Stephen King characters Lloyd Henried and Richard Dees, I am re-releasing my episode of 1997's The Night Flier, an unappreciated movie that everyone should go out and watch tonight in honor of the late, beloved character actor.  I have recorded an all-new introduction in which I say good-bye to an actor who will always be remembered by me as the one, the only, Special Agent Albert Rosenfield, whose life philosphy was beautifully stated in a memorable scene in Twin Peaks:

"While I will admit to a certain cynicism, the fact is that I am a naysayer and hatchetman in the fight against violence. I pride myself in taking a punch and I'll gladly take another because I choose to live my life in the company of Gandhi and King. My concerns are global. I reject absolutely revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method... is love."

Rest in peace, Miguel Ferrer.  You will be missed.

Hey, guys! I'm back with a review of 1992's gloriously atrocious masterpiece: Mick Garris' Sleepwalkers!

In this episode, I review The Fireman by Joe Hill. Enjoy!

 Happy Holidays, everyone! I wasn't going to let 2016 end without recording at least one more episode.  I had been hoping it would be a review of the Dark Tower trailer, but because Sony hasn't released it (as promised) I decided to get my review of Cell out of the way.

Welcome back, everyone!  As you know, earlier this month, Stephen King concluded his Mercedes Killer trilogy with End of Watch.  As promised, I'm here to review his latest, as well as talk about some Dark Tower movie news.  Come along for the ride!

In this week's episode of Stephen Kingcast, I will examine Stephen King's first collection of short stories: Night Shift. Rather than analyzing each one, I analyze a handful of stories that stood out to me, including the foreword to the collection from the author.
