    Christine (1983)

    Finishing out this leg of their look at Stephen King’s entire set of adaptations, the Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast are looking at a film which features one of the popular author’s most recognizable villains. Before the book was even published, producer Richard Kobritz (Salem’s Lot) enlisted Halloween’s John Carpenter to come in and helm a film adaptation, to come out at the end of the year. After a few years on their own network, the guys have finally gotten to a piece of Carpenter’s well regarded early resume. What is everyone’s background when it comes to his films? Why did Garrett hold Christine in such high regard as a teenager? What does he feel about it now? And what does Adam feel about finally getting to one of his favorite directors? Now that Garrett, Matt, and Adam have closed out this part of King’s adaptation resume, what’s next for the trio? Let’s just say the answer, which is given at the end of this podcast, may be looked at as a ‘Master’ class of popcorn filmmaking.

    Stand By Me (1986)

    We have come to the third of a three part look at writer Stephen King’s book Different Seasons. And this podcast, which is a two plus hour look at Stand By Me, may be among our most emotional. With a huge backstory to how the film got made, as well as stories galore about the four boys at the forefront of the film. How will Adam feel about this sentimental favorite after seeing it for the first time? Has time been good to it? Is River Phoenix as good as we remember? Is Jerry O’Connell actually….good?? And how does this film tie in to his marriage to Rebecca Romijn?? So many things to discuss. So just download this cap off to perhaps the most emotional set of shows we’ve ever done.

    Apt Pupil (1998)

    Disclaimer: A word of warning up front. This podcast deals with some content that just may not be suitable for most. Things like a kid getting leered at while sleeping and of course, all things the director of Apt Pupil allegedly did to his mostly young cast get discussed in harrowing and disgusting detail. Listener discretion is strongly advised.

    The Shawshank Redemption (1994)

    Now that The Dark Tower is out of the way, it’s time to dive into perhaps author Stephen King’s most well regarded book of stories -or novellas- Different Seasons. But before we get to Apt Pupil and Stand By Me, we review the adaptation of the first story in the volume, a little film called The Shawshank Redemption. With Rob Reiner (eventually) giving first time feature director Frank Darabont the chance to adapt the story (called Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption in the book), the film came out…and hit with a thud. That is, until that year’s Oscar nominations and Ted Turner’s network TNT got into the act. Suddenly, Shawshank was being played multiple times a year, exposing the film to dads everywhere, and eventually becoming the number one rated film on IMDB. Now, The Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast puts the Morgan Freeman/Tim Robbins film to the test! Will everyone, including noted King pessimist Adam, agree with the IMDB score?

    The Dark Tower (2017)

    After a few months away from his crazy imagination, it’s time for the Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast to return to the world of Stephen King. And what a doozy to start this leg of adaptations, as in 2017 screenwriter Alivia Goldman and producer Ron Howard brought King’s seven plus Dark Tower book series to the screen! Widely criticized as being one of the worst adaptations ever put to screen, the movie nonetheless possesses both Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey in the two main roles. So what is the film criticized? And do Garrett, Adam, and Matt agree?? Listen in as the guys dissect a huge set of behind the scenes circumstances which had everyone from JJ Abrams to Ron Howard himself in the film’s director’s chair at one point or another. So how the hell did Nikolaj Arcel get the gig?? And is there a future for this series? So much to get to. So check out this 90 plus minute review of The Dark Tower and be sure to come back as the guys will dissect the movies adapted from King’s Different Seasons collection, and even throw a few surprises in here and there!

    The Black Phone 2 (2025)

    You know how sometimes while reviewing Joe Hill’s father and his adaptations we say we wonder when he will run out of inanimate things that are evil? For example, a linen folding machine shows there is no limit to how vast Stephen King’s imagination can take him. However, we’ll get back to him soon. Now, we are reviewing a movie that was spawned much the same way King came up with The Mangler. Hill phoned Scott Derrickson and asked him, ‘what would happen if The Grabber called Finn from hell?’ The rest, as they say, is history. Join the Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast as we finally get to the sequel to the first surprise hit from Blumhouse Pictures. Is this really a new Nightmare on Elm Street 3 Dream Warriors? Can Ethan Hawker be our new Freddy? What about Black Phone 2’s new settings and characters??? All is answered in the below podcast. Next week, a review of dad Steve’s Dark Tower and its adaptation starring Matthew McConaughey. What can possibly go wrong with that one???

    Hulk (2003)

    This week the guys finally get to a theatrical release as they review director Ang Lee’s long awaited 2003 film, Hulk! After Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon became an unexpected commercial and critical darling, Lee had a slew of big budgeted opportunities flood his inbox. The two biggest ones being a follow up to James Cameron’s Terminator 2 Judgment Day, as well as the long in development by Cameron’s ex Gale Anne Hurd Hulk film. Yet, he turned down Terminator 3 in order to take the big green monster on. And after years of rejected scripts and start stops, the green light was finally given, with Eric Baja being Lee’s choice for the Banner/Hulk role. But upon release, Hulk was met with derision from both critics and audiences, with some saying there wasn’t enough action and others putting down the long built up finale between the two Banners. Will The Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast join the fray of people who reassess Hulk in a positive light?? Listen in to find out! Also, we reveal what the next retrospective series will be.

    The Death of The Incredible Hulk (1990)

    With a successful television show and a string of TV movies The Incredible Hulk proved to be a hugely rewarding experience for Bill Bixby. So it’s understandable that he was apprehensive about finally putting the character to bed. In fact, all reports are that he didn’t want to fully put it to bed. We get into that on this podcast. But before that happens, David Banner finds himself mixed up with spies, with nary a Jack McGee sighting. That, my friends, is the plot of The Death of the Incredible Hulk. A movie even Hulk can Garrett wasn’t looking forward to revisiting. Yet, our duty is our duty, so enjoy Percolated Media listeners! Next week, the guys finally get to a theatrically released film starring the big green angry guy. Next week, we review Ang Lee’s huge summer of 2003 film Hulk! And boy, do we have opinions on that one! But for now, enjoy our review of Bixby’s swan song as the Hulk, 1990’s The Death of the Incredible Hulk!!
