The time has come. A guest has finally chosen 11/22/63 to talk about on The Kingcast.

130: Carrie with Scott Derrickson

The Kingcast ·

2022/06/15

Carrie was the book that launched Stephen King's literary career and the movie that put Brian DePalma on the map, so it's only fitting that we get an expert cinephile and King fanatic in to break them both down.

Sometimes They Come Back is an odd little old school King story originally published before the success of Carrie that was then adapted for TV during the early '90s Stephen King adaptation boom.

Take a trip, if you dare, into Stephen King's London-based Lovecraftian nightmare where you can run into rat-faced teenagers, children with claws for hands and unimaginable eldrich horrors.

97:17

120: The Outsider with Dani Fernandez

The Kingcast ·

2022/05/04

Sometimes these episodes feature deep dives into King's writing and examine the subtext of its cinematic adaptation and sometimes these episodes use the title at hand as a jumping off point for a chaotic conversation. This episode is the latter.

103:54

119: The Tommyknockers with Ashley Lyle and Bart...

The Kingcast ·

2022/04/27

If we're talking about buried alien spaceships, metal plates in heads, killer soda machines, a protagonist who is both a drunk and a wife-killer... you know what that means! That's right! It's time to talk Tommyknockers.

88:55

118: ???? with Bill Hader

The Kingcast ·

2022/04/20

This episode has everything: Bill Hader talking about working on It, a constantly shifting conversation that never stays on a single topic for more than 5 minutes, casual mentions of some really big name Stephen King fans, what reading King at a young age can mean to a creative kid and MTV's Dan Cortese.

The Man in the Black Suit was something of a turning point for Stephen King. Published in The New Yorker in 1994, this short story went on to win many prestigious awards, including the O.
