Stephen King News Roundup: On ‘Fairy Tale’, ‘Billy Summers’, ‘Later’, and ‘Firestarter’ [The Losers’ Club Podcast]
The heat is on across King’s Dominion. So, once again, The Losers’ Club is putting on their shades, revving up their Plymouth Fury convertible, and feeling the breeze in Hollywood King.
It’s another high-octane news episode that finds Losers Michael Roffman, Jenn Adams, Dan Pfleegor, and special guest Kyle Orozovich cycling through all the latest Stephen King headlines.
Topics include King’s forthcoming new novel “Fairy Tale”, Blumhouse’s series order for “Later”, Bad Robot’s “Billy Summers”, and Universal’s re-imagining of “Firestarter”.
They also discuss how “Christine” helped Matt Reeves reimagine the Batmobile for next month’s The Batman and weigh in on M. Night Shyamalan’s thoughts on King.
Stream the episode below and return next week when the Losers name the 10 best King stories to open on Valentine’s Day with special guest Julia Marchese.
