‘Halloween Ends’ With a New Beginning [Halloweenies Podcast]

Published

on

“It all ends now.”

It certainly does! Yes, folks, it’s that time of the year again, when the Halloweenies return to the streets of Haddonfield, Illinois for a little trick or treating. This time around, though, there’s a new Shape in town, one that has traded in a station wagon for a motorcycle and a cold stare for some complicated Peter Parker vibes. What could go wrong?

Find out by joining co-hosts Justin Gerber, Dan Caffrey, McKenzie Gerber, Mike Vanderbilt, and Michael Roffman as they blow out the candle within David Gordon Green‘s Halloween Ends. Together, they discuss big swerves in horror, franchise newcomer Corey Cunningham, Jamie Lee Curtis’ final swan song as Laurie Strode, and whether or not this all paid off.

Stephen King’s ‘Doctor Sleep’ Returns to ‘The Shining’ With Mixed Results [The Losers’ Club Podcast]

Published

on

“Life was a wheel, its only job was to turn, and it always came back to where it started.”

The Losers’ Club: A Stephen King Podcast heads to Frazier, New Hampshire to review Stephen King’s 2013 novel, Doctor Sleep. The sequel to 1977’s The Shining follows a much-older Danny Torrance, whose battle with alcoholism becomes all the more complicated when he crosses paths with a young child who also has the shine.

Join Losers Randall Colburn, Michael Roffman, and Dan Caffrey as they discuss the True Knot, dirty dishes with poundcake, and debate if King should have ever burned down The Overlook Hotel. Note: This episode was recorded in 2019 and is being re-released today as part of their ensuing chronological read-through.

Stream the discussion below and stay tuned next week for an episode on Bryan Fuller’s Carrie. For further adventures, join the Club over long days and pleasant nights via Apple Podcasts, Spotify, RadioPublic, Acast, Google Podcasts, and RSS.
