“Castle Rock”: Unofficial Season 3 Audio Drama Turns Up the Heat in Act II [The Losers’ Club Podcast]

Published

on

In case you missed it, The Losers’ Club were mysteriously given a decaying, coffee-stained teleplay for the lost Season 3 premiere of Hulu’s Castle Rock. Rather than keep it to themselves, your humble hosts brought the script to life in the best way they know how: By turning it into a podcast with no affiliation whatsoever to Hulu or the creators.

Two weeks ago, you heard the first act, which brought you Constant Listeners back to Stephen King’s titular New England town. Now, the Losers return with the second installment in their three-act audio drama/parody that sees our various heroes and villains turn up the heat (literally) on the streets as they prepare for an iconic war in King’s Dominion.

Stream the second act now and stay tuned for its fiery conclusion on Friday, July 23rd. For further adventures, be sure to join the Club over long days and pleasant nights via iTunes/Apple PodcastsStitcherSpotifyRadioPublicAcastGoogle Podcasts, and RSS. You can also unlock over a hundred hours’ worth of content in The Barrens (Patreon).

John Carpenter’s ‘Prince of Darkness’ Is Flawed But Undeniably Original [Halloweenies Podcast]

Published

on

John Carpenter is back with a new album next week: Lost Themes IV: Noir.

To celebrate, the Halloweenies are unlocking their past episode from January 2022 on the maestro’s 1987 relic, Prince of Darkness. Join Michael Roffman, Dan Caffrey, McKenzie Gerber, and Rachel Reeves in the basement of a Los Angeles monastery as they decipher their feelings on the curious case study of the crossroads between science and faith.

Together, they debate whether or not this intriguing intersection overpowers the narrative and characters, chart where this fits in Carpenter’s overall oeuvre, and meditate on a few what-ifs in the casting department. They also marvel at the pulsing score, discuss its parallels to Inferno, and try to make sense of the mythos at the center.

So, go to the mirror and listen below. Subscribe via Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, RadioPublic, Acast, Google Podcasts, and RSS. New to the Halloweenies? Catch up with the gang by revisiting their essential episodes on past franchises such as Halloween, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Scream, The Evil Dead, and Chucky. This year? Alien.

You can also become a member of their Patreon, The Rewind, for hilariously irreverent commentaries (e.g. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Gremlins), one-off deep dives on your favorite rentals (e.g. Saw, The Changeling), and even topical spinoffs like this past summer’s greatest adventure Fortune & Glory: An Indiana Jones Podcast.
