Stephen King Cast

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.  

In this week's episode, I continue my analysis of Stephen King's masterpiece, The Stand!

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!

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!

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.  

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!

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! 

In this spoiler-filled bonus episode, I place The Drawing of the Three into the context of the greater Dark Tower series.  How does it hold up against The Gunslinger?  In what ways does it point towards the ending of the series?  Find out this week in the Stephen Kingcast! 

Did a chick?  Dud a chum?  Listen to this podcast and have some fun!  That's right!  Step back through the doorway into Mid-World with Roland as he forms a new ka-tet.  Will this bring about his redemption or will this only serve to speed up his fall from grace?  Find out this week on The Stephen Kingcast!

As adaptations go, this is one of the big ones!  Does it measure up to its status or hype? Is Kathy Bates as good as you remember?  Find out this week in my review of Misery!

Stephen King has made a career out of creating memorable, terrifying villains.  But with Annie Wilkes, he brings the humanity down to a very real, and very dangerous level.  It's every author's worst nightmare come to life in this week's episode of Stephen Kingcast as I review the classic Misery!
