Castle Rock Radio: A Stephen King Podcast

In the second episode of Hulu's Castle Rock, we learn more about the town's background and question when easter eggs are relevant and when they're unnecessary. Fresh out of the hatch, headless Terry O'Quinn narrates us through a fun mystery involving book-lovin' nazis, luncheonette sexcapades, and a whacky know-it-all by the name of Jackie Torrance (DO YOU GET IT?).

J.J. Abrams gets Terry O'Quinn back onto a new show and the first thing he does is stick him down a hatch again. Hulu's first episode of Castle Rock raises many questions, such as "Why is Bill Skarsgard so handsome?" and "What turned Alan Pangborn into such an awesome scumbag?" and "Where do I remember that one actor from?"   If you dig the show, please support us on Patreon at www.Patreon.com/PMMPUBLISHING 

It's the 50th episode of Castle Rock Radio, baby! We're returning to our roots and discussing The Lawnmower Man again, only this time we're focusing on the extremely excellent film adaptation directed and co-written by Brett Leonard and starring Jeff Fahey and Pierce Brosnan. Why do scientists never anticipate test monkeys uprising? Did Brosnan's wife really leave him because he wouldn't take her to the city? Does this movie contain the grossest sex scene in cinema history? ALSO: Brett Leonard totally wrote his own Wikipedia page. We're on to you, dude.

In this week's episode, we're taking a trip to Revenge City and discussing "Dolan's Cadillac" from Stephen King's Nightmares & Dreamscapes, as well as the film adaptation starring Christian Slater as a horny racist. We dig deep into the hilarious rivalry between Edgar Allan Poe and Thomas Dunn English which inspired Poe to write the short story that would later inspire King to write "Dolan's Cadillac". ALSO: We ask our audience to talk about the most petty act of revenge they've ever committed, and read their answers on the air! Support us on Patreon at www.Patreon.com/PMMPUBLISHING.

In this week's episode, we are introducing some new segments to the show, such as "What is the strangest thing you'e ever vomited?" and "What is the most amount of pain you've ever experienced?" Yeah, it's a regular good time here at Castle Rock Radio, joined once again by special guest Betty Rocksteady (author of Like Jagged Teeth). We're talking about "The Little Green God of Agony" from 2015's The Bazaar of Bad Dreams and clown egg registers and gruesome injuries and many other things, so tune in and enjoy.

This week on the show, we're talking about a never-before published Stephen King short story titled "Squad D" which Harlan Ellison rejected from his infamous The Last Dangerous Visions. Paul Michael Anderson (author of Bones Are Made to Be Broken) joins us to trash-talk everybody in the indie lit scene, as well as provide a fascinating history of the most famous speculative anthology to never be released.

This week on the podcast, we're taking a joyride with our favorite haunted car. That's right, it's Christine! Is this actually a Goosebumps book in disguise? Why does the POV change from first person to third 200 pages into the story? And why doesn't Arnie have sex with this car? Kick back, grab your coke straws, and enjoy the show.

In this week's episode, we return to Film Land with 1990's Tales From the Darkside: The Movie. How much money is a fair price to whack a cat? Why do gargoyles have such complex mating rituals? And is Debbie Harry the dumbest witch in cinema history? ALSO: Five THOUSAND cats???

King continues his fascination with urine in his latest short story, "Laurie", published exclusively on his website. Is this guy's dead wife possessing his dog? Probably not, but it'd be a whole lot cooler if she were. As always, if you dig the show, please support CRR over on Patreon at www.patreon.com/PMMPUBLISHING.

In this week's episode, Patrick Lacey (author of Bone Saw) joins us to discuss "The Raft" from Skeleton Crew (1985) and Creepshow 2(1987). We dig into the bizarre yet fascinating history of the story's previous life, which includes the time Stephen King got drunk and stole a bunch of traffic cones and was promptly arrested. Also, why is there even a raft out in this lake if there's a NO SWIMMING sign? Why did George Romero decide to turn the protagonist into a creepy rapist? And where exactly did Deke hide those drugs? PLUS: Danny Boyle's 28 Trimesters Later. KING NEWS: The Outsider is now out! So is Laurie (not Lori). Support CRR on Patreon at www.patreon.com/PMMPUBLISHING 

Smoke 'em if you got 'em, because we're talking about "The Ten O'Clock People" from 1993's Nightmares & Dreamscapes with special guest Andrew Hilbert (author of Invasion of the Weirdos). Why is the pacing so awkward in this story? Is this secretly a lazy outline for a much longer work? And why does everybody have three different names? All of that and more, so tune in and do the Dew, dude. KING NEWS: Film adaptation announcements for "The Gingerbread Girl" and "In the Tall Grass"; and Mike Patton's score for 1922 is now available for pre-orders.

On this week's episode, we continue our exploration of the Children of the Corn franchise with The Final(?) Sacrifice. Why does everybody immediately trust these kids who obviously just murdered an entire town? Did this pseudo-Baldwin brother actually cover the Jonestown Massacre? And what the hell is going on with this weird corrupt sheriff subplot? ALSO: a Clive Barker amusement park! KING NEWS: Casting update on Pet Sematary.

In this special Nazi edition of Castle Rock Radio, we talk about Hitler's farting problems, why bullies need to exist, and wonder how this kid's parents are totally okay with him spending all of his free time in some old man's house. "Apt Pupil" is the second novella from Stephen King's Different Seasons, published in 1982. Bryan Singer adapted it into a film in 1998 starring Brad Renfro and Ian McKellen.

Let's thumb a ride back to Castle Rock for a little rodent coitus fun in Stephen King's "Nona" from 1985's Skeleton Crew. And while we're at it, why don't you go ahead and cut that hippie hair already, you utter freak. If you dig the show, throw us a buck or two over on Patreon at www.Patreon.com/PMMPUBLISHING.

Why isn't this book in Tak!'s point of view? Why does Stephen King automatically think everybody is dead when visiting small towns? Is this the most religious King's ever gotten in a novel?

In 1970, Cavalier published Stephen King's first pro-paid horror story, "Graveyard Shift."
