The Losers' Club: A Stephen King Podcast

The Losers are finally closing the book on Stephen King's Nightmares and Dreamscapes after two long months of coverage. To clean up shop, they're revisiting the remaining adaptations to discuss, specifically 2009’s Dolan’s Cadillac, 1997’s The Night Flier, "Chattery Teeth" from 1997’s Quicksilver Highway, and "The Moving Finger" from 1991’s Monsters. Unfortunately, they couldn't find a stream of "Sorry, Right Number" from the fourth season of Tales from the Darkside, so that one remains lost in the thinny. Alas, topics range from Christian Slater's mid-aughts career, to the sexual appeal of Miguel Ferrer, to the Golden Age of horror anthologies, and, naturally, to Tom Selleck. You've been warned.Follow us on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Podchaser | PatreonHosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In light of Comic-Con@Home, the Losers host their own panel with a very special episode featuring one very special ka-tet. Ahead you'll hear from voices all across Mid-World, who have all dedicated their lives to serve the beam of Sai King. We have an influencer, a filmmaker, and even another podcast host, one who paved the way long before the Losers ever built the Barrens. More specifically, Losers Michael Roffman and Jenn Adams speak to Bookstagram icon Johann Trotter, writer-filmmaker-archivist John Campopiano, and Stephen Kingcast host Cooper O'Connor. Together, they discuss why they keep hitting the stacks, why they keep flipping through the pages, and why they spend hours, days, months, and years in King's Dominion. Listen above and be sure to follow them on their respective journeys.Chapters include: Introductions, Dreamcatcher (05:10), The Long Walk (40:00), The Dark Half (1:00:00), Everything’s Eventual (1:29:00), and Outro (1:48:00).Follow on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | PatreonHosted on Acast.

“When an old man dies, a library burns.” It's lonely out here in the Harrigan estate. The sun's dwindling through the windows, the African lilacs are all watered, everything's been cleaned two times over. The only thing left is silence and the echoes of history. Whatever was once inside has been left to the memories of those who lived it. In that sense, we all contain multitudes. Join Losers Randall Colburn, Michael Roffman, Dan Caffrey, and Jenn Adams as they take a call from the grave, busk on the streets of Boston, and abscond to a rustic cabin upstate. Together, they review three out of the four stories within King's new novellas collection If It Bleeds: "Mr. Harrigan's Phone", "The Life of Chuck", and "Rat". Next week, they'll head to Finders Keepers to reunite with Holly, Jerome, and the rest of the gang.Follow us on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | PatreonHosted on Acast.

The Shop... Shit... We're still in The Shop...Every time, we think we're gonna wake up back in reality. When we were on the road, it was even worse. We'd wake up and there'd be Crews. Waiting. When we were here, I wanted to be there. When we were there, all we could think of was getting back to The Shop. We're here a week now, waiting to get younger, getting softer. Every minute we stay in this room, we get weaker. And every minute Andrews squats in the bush, he gets stronger. Each time we look around, the walls move in a little tighter...Once again, the Losers are on the lam, painting cars and hitchhiking from town to town with de-aging janitor Harlan Williams. It's the final stretch of Stephen King's Golden Years, and things are getting crazy. There are sleepovers at grave sites, references to Captain Trips, kooky hippies with equally kooky explosions, and a total Poochie ending. Join Losers Randall Colburn, Michael Roffman, and Jenn Adams as they don some tie-dye shirts, fight the good fight, and take out
