Enjoy Stephen King!
This week, Shua and Jay dive deep into the eerie, thrilling, and sometimes bloody history of Stephen King adaptations. From Carrie’s explosive debut to Kubrick’s cold and calculated take on The Shining, the guys explore how filmmakers have interpreted King’s stories and how the author himself has responded to those visions.
Along the way, they reflect on what makes King’s writing so adaptable, the recurring themes that make his work timeless, and how his cinematic universe continues to evolve with remakes and new projects like The Long Walk. It’s an episode packed with nostalgia, film history, and plenty of creepy fun because “we all float down here.”
