    Gramma with Drew Hancock

    The writer/director behind the upcoming Sophie Thatcher/Jack Quaid flick COMPANION stops by The Kingcast to have a little chat about Gramma. Not his Gramma. Stephen King's fictional creepy old witch woman that may be after more than a friendly hug from her young grandson. We discuss the importance of King's work and how it has changed through the decades, the smart ways he's kept himself in the public eye, and, of course, why Gramma is a short story with punch that keeps people coming back to it year after year.

    The Shawshank Redemption with Evan Waite

    The very funny novelist (Life Wants You Dead), TV writer (Family Guy, The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt) and Stephen King fan Evan Waite joins Vespe this week to talk about The Shawshank Redemption, both the novella and the Frank Darabont adaptation. Is this the movie America needs this holiday season? One that is full of hope even in the face of the worst of the worst authoritarian regimes and shows all the worst people getting their comeuppance? It just might be. We talk about that as well as the strength of King's writing, how others just can't compare, and maybe even a dig at Dean Koontz's abysmal hairpiece for good measure.

    Live from KingCon: An Interview with Thomas Jane

    Thomas Jane has starred in multiple Stephen King movies, like The Mist, Dreamcatcher, and 1922. While he may not be a fan of shoes, he is a massive fan of Stephen King's work, so we talk about his love of King's novels as well as the multiple adaptations he's appeared in, all in front of a live audience at the very first KingCon in Las Vegas. You'll hear Jane's Stephen King origin story, as well as some insight into the making of all his King movies. Keep an ear out for his story about the very first cast table read of the script for Dreamcatcher and what he has to say about being considered to play Roland when Frank Darabont was toying with making The Dark Tower.

    Revival with Joe R. Lansdale (ft. Guest Co-Host Stephen Graham Jones)

    Joe R. Lansdale (Bubba Ho-tep, The Thicket, Cold In July) joins Vespe and special guest co-host Stephen Graham Jones (The Indian Lake Trilogy, Mongrels) to talk about Stephen King's Revival. Kinda. That was the intent, anyway, but when you get two wonderful and prolific genre authors together the talk will always turn to craft, so while there's plenty of King chatter here, don't expect a deep dive into Revival. You will hear some more insane animal encounter stories from Stephen Graham Jones as well as some real sharp insight from both men about their craft, where cosmic horror really shines, and the secret to writing regional genre so well.

    The Mist with Nate Purkeypile

    Video Game Developer and designer Nate Purkeypile comes on The Kingcast to talk about his new game, The Axis Unseen, his years working at Bethesda on titles like Fallout and Elder Scrolls, how a particular Stephen King book helped him through the troubled launch of Fallout 76, and his love of Frank Darabont's adaptation of The Mist. The Axis Unseen, described as a heavy metal horror game, is available now on Steam and will be available down the line on consoles.

    Mrs. Todd's Shortcut with Ian McDonald

    Screenwriter Ian McDonald (who penned this week's Netflix movie Woman of the Hour starring Anna Kendrick) joins Vespe to discuss one of King's odder short stories: Mrs. Todd's Shortcut. This weird one is about a woman who becomes obsessed with shortcuts who ends up disappearing on one and the old Mainer who was perhaps a little in love with her remembering her all these years later. We talk about this story, our own random short cuts we've found in our lives, King using monsters in varying and interesting ways, and just why On Writing is such a masterpiece.

    Flashback: An Interview with Michael Whelan

    Vespe digs deep into the Kingcast Archives and comes up with a 2021 interview Wampler and Vespe conducted with Michael Whelan, the man responsible for defining the look of Stephen King's The Dark Tower. This episode has lived the last 3 years behind a paywall and now you can hear it even if you're not a Patreon subscriber. Whelan is a renowned sci-fi and fantasy artist who was commissioned by King to provide all the artwork for the first and final Dark Tower books. We talk about his process there, why his vision of the titular tower and the main protagonist evolved over the years, who owns a good chunk of that original art now, his process, and his audio book addiction. WARNING: Dark Tower spoilers aplenty this episode!

    The Lawnmower Man with Flula Borg

    Kingcast royalty Flula Borg (Pitch Perfect 2, The Suicide Squad) makes his triumphant return to the show and watches the batshit insane The Lawnmower Man. If you've seen the movie, you know it's a wild one. Problematic? Yes. Entertaining? Kinda. A good adaptation? Absolutely not. You will hear talk about VR murder chimps, Pierce Brosnan's absurdly hairy chest, the "give me your tongue" scene, Dippin' Dots, and Hank from Breaking Bad.
