Luister naar The Losers' Club: A Stephen King Podcast

The Losers untie another big ol' Bag of Bones and answer your questions. Questions like: "Did Jud kill Church?"; "Are we getting more Twinner episodes like 'Carrie'?"; and "What are the Losers' favorite episodes?" They're also tasked to replace Roland's ka-tet, inject Stephen King into the Jersey Shore, and cast a whole season of White Lotus with King characters. Good stuff, great fun, Losers' Club.

This months marks the 40th anniversary of Cat's Eye. Directed by Lewis Teague, the 1985 anthology film delivers three memorable adaptations for "Quitters, Inc.", "The Ledge", and the written-for-the-screen-closer "General". Join the Losers as they finally review the King classic as part of their ensuing Long Watch series.

Play ball! The Losers hit the green with Stephen King and Stewart O'Nan as they revisit their two baseball books: 2004's Faithful and 2012's novella "A Face in the Crowd". For more baseball coverage, head to The Barrens (patreon.com/thebarrens) for Faithful, Too, which sees Justin Gerber journaling this year's season of the Chicago Cubs.

“If it bleeds, it leads.” In the second of two episodes dedicated to Stephen King's 2020 novellas collection If It Bleeds, Losers Randall Colburn, Michael Roffman, Dan Caffrey, and Jenn Adams discuss the titular and final novella, "If It Bleeds". Together, they parse through King’s true crime era and what the future of Holly Gibney might bring, be it on the page or in another season of HBO’s The Outsider.

“When an old man dies, a library burns.” Join Losers Randall Colburn, Michael Roffman, Dan Caffrey, and Jenn Adams as they take a call from the grave, busk on the streets of Boston, and abscond to a rustic cabin upstate. In the first of two episodes dedicated to Stephen King's 2020 novellas collection, they review three out of the four stories: “Mr. Harrigan’s Phone”, “The Life of Chuck”, and “Rat”. Be sure to continue their coverage with Pt. 2 that sees them visiting Finders Keepers to reunite with Holly, Jerome, and the rest of the gang.
