The Kingcast ·

2021/01/27

Popular super funny musician Nick Lutsko comes into this episode looking to examine the '90s Shining mini-series. Kubrick vs King and Garris. Who wins? The episode is guaranteed to make you utter "WIGH" ("What In Gremlin Hell") a few times.

43: Battleground with Fred Raskin

The Kingcast ·

2021/01/20

William Hurt fighting a battalion of little green army men in a penthouse apartment? If you're not sold already we don't know what else to say. The boys are joined by Fred Raskin, the preferred editor for both Quentin Tarantino and James Gunn, to dive into this crazy episode from the Nightmares and Dreamscapes TV show, directed by Brian Henson.

The Kingcast ·

This crossover episode brings back Kingcast favorite Mallory O'Meara and this time she's joined by her Reading Glasses co-host Brea Grant to talk about '80s long butt, the return of shoulder pads in women's clothing and a creepy hungry blob that eats some shithead college kids as the gang discusses Stephen King's The Raft and its adaptation as a segment in Creepshow 2.

41: Different Seasons with Wil Wheaton

The Kingcast ·

2021/01/06

This wild chat with the Internet's First Boyfriend, Wil Wheaton, ranges from the silly (how does 90 Day Fiancee figure into things?) to the somber (Wil opens up about his abusive childhood and the shocking parallels between himself and Stand By Me's Gordie Lachance). All that and more in this breakdown of the four novellas contained in Stephen King's Different Seasons.

The Kingcast ·

2020/12/24

Merry Christmas! It's surprise bonus episode time! Here we have a rather silly interview with Nat Wolff, who plays Randall Flagg's #1 guy, Lloyd Henreid, in the new limited series based off of Stephen King's The Stand.

68:53

38: On Writing with Rian Johnson

The Kingcast ·

2020/12/23

The great Rian Johnson joins the Kingcast boys to dig deep into King's inspirational memoir, his curious hatred of structure and how Johnson's own writing process mirrors King's (and where it drastically differs).

37: The Running Man and The Stand with Ben Cavell and...

The Kingcast ·

2020/12/16

The new adaptation of The Stand debuts on CBS AllAccess tomorrow, December 17th, and the series' showrunner, Ben Cavell, and executive producer, Taylor Elmore, are here to talk about the show, their history with the novel and then dig deep into dark Richard Bachman territory as they discuss their love of The Running Man.

35: The Mangler with DC Pierson

The Kingcast ·

2020/12/02

Comedian, author, actor and podcaster DC Pierson joins the boys to take a deep dive into Tobe Hooper's very questionable adaptation of The Mangler. Talk turns Ted Levine's bizarre outfit, the barrage of questionable choices made by the filmmaking team and a clear-eyed deconstruction of Tobe Hooper's filmography. There are lots of swears. Sorry about that.

78:31

34: The Shawshank Redemption with Demi Adejuyigbe

The Kingcast ·

2020/11/25

Demi Adejuyigbe, a writer on The Good Place and The Late Late Show, has chosen The Shawshank Redemption to tackle. There's much praise heaped upon Frank Darabont's masterpiece as well as some trademark Kingcast detours into weird places, like Tom Cruise's animal magnetism and just why the vast majority of conservative comedy sucks butt.

71:02

33: Pet Sematary with Ana Lily Amirpour

The Kingcast ·

2020/11/18

The boys are joined by director Ana Lily Amirpour to discuss how important King's Pet Sematary is in helping the reader cope with the act of dying. Lily shares her childhood trauma of finding a roadkill cat and trying to nurse it back to life with some milk and a fancy tablecloth as well as some stories from her time working on the King-centric Castle Rock series and even shares a little bit about her upcoming projects, the already filmed Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon and the to-be-filmed

72:38

32: Thinner with Dave Schilling

The Kingcast ·

2020/11/11

The pleasant memory of this movie was all but destroyed on the rewatch leading up to this episode. The boys are joined by Full Court Chat's Dave Schilling to examine one of King's bleakest and meanest stories and the resulting misfire of a film.

77:56

31: Cat's Eye with Rich Sommer

The Kingcast ·

2020/11/04

52:43

30: The Kingcast Interview: Dee Wallace

The Kingcast ·

2020/10/29

Cujo star Dee Wallace talks about her time trapped in a Pinto while facing off against a rabid St. Bernard. Did you know she hospitalized herself while filming the climactic scene in the movie? Did you also know she didn't read King's book until after she finished? All that plus stories from making The Howling, ET and The Frighteners.

82:01

29: Sleepwalkers with Sarah Beattie

The Kingcast ·

2020/10/28

Sleepwalkers is a weirdly hornt up movie so it's only natural that Vespe and Wampler are joined by their wildest recurring guest, Ms. Sarah Beattie. Vespe ends up recommending a bunch of obscure '80s horror movies, Wampler tells a traumatic story about an ex-girlfriend's borderline abusive cat and Sarah has a bonkers theory that ties two cat-themed Stephen King stories together.

63:54

28: The Mist with Brent Terhune

The Kingcast ·

2020/10/21

Comedian Brent Terhune joins Vespe and Wampler to examine Frank Darabont's The Mist. Vespe regales the podcast group with more stories from his time on the set (including what Marcia Gay Harden did to stay in character) and talk turns to the dark, dark, dark ending.

59:37

27: A Good Marriage with Kate Siegel

The Kingcast ·

2020/10/14

In this episode Kate Siegel and the boys discuss the lengths you would go to cover up a crime for your spouse, Stephen King's talents at getting inside the female mind (likely with the help of his wife, Tabby), give actor Anthony LaPaglia a new name (Tony Pogs, of course), and even dive into the complexities of Siegel's marriage to another Kingcast regular, Mike Flanagan.

63:41

25: Cujo with Devon Sawa

The Kingcast ·

2020/09/30

Vespe and Wampler are joined by former teen heart-throb and current grizzled badass Devon Sawa to discuss one of King's major works: Cujo.

65:37

24: The Langoliers with Noah Segan

The Kingcast ·

2020/09/23

The Langoliers is an oddity in the realm of Stephen King. It's a great novella that also happens to be a well-below average mini-series. The boys are joined by actor Noah Segan to dive into both the written text and the crappy movie with CGI meatballs in it.
