1977 short story by Stephen King
POPULARITY
And a child shall lead them! This week, Peaches and Michael are walking behind the rows in celebration of 1984's CHILDREN OF THE CORN! In addition to discussing this enduring tale of innocence perverted, our hosts delve into how the aesthetic of the original film continues to inspire modern folk horror. Joining the conversation is celebrated comedian Alaina Bamfield, who shares how a youthful association with this cult classic led to an ongoing fascination. Then, filmmaker/editor extraordinaire Erick Lorinc stops by to extoll the virtues of the entire Corn franchise and why it persists in pop culture. From Linda Hamilton to the crimes of being an outlander, this episode has it all! Go!

Today Griffey and Dandino pray to He Who Walks Behind the Rows in Children of the Corn. They dig into the dirt of what this new/old God is doing with these children, they way that the fevor of these children for their new religion can rapidly turn them against each other, and what our adult couple protaganist help illuminate as they enter this corn fueled nightmare. Of all the MESSED UP Stephen King adapations this is a personal favorite of ours. Synopsis: A young couple is trapped in a remote town where a dangerous religious cult of children believes that everyone over age 18 must be killed.

NYT Best Selling Author and Kingcast favorite guest Stephen Graham Jones (The Only Good Indians, The Buffalo Hunter Hunter) makes his triumphant return to the show to delve into the rural weirdness of Stephen King's Children of the Corn. Discussion flickers between the original King short story and the not-that-great 1984 film adaptation of the same name starring Linda Hamilton and Peter Horton. How many Corn Children could Stephen Graham Jones take out before they overwhelm him? Is there's a good movie that could be made out of this admittedly pulpy source material? What were the Corn Children up to during the events of The Stand? All those questions are answered plus you get another patented Stephen Graham Jones wild animal encounter story, this one involving a skunk.
A bucket list guest, director Fritz Kiersch, returns with the second half of our conversation that covers his move from the commercial world to the New World (ahem) of features starting with 1984's CHILDREN OF THE CORN and continuing with 1985's TUFF TURF as Fritz continued to deliver success after success for New World Pictures. And because the movies Fritz directed were so well received, he was one of the few directors to get a three picture deal, which would eventually end with 1989's UNDER THE BOARDWALK (and, in our eyes, should have included 1987's WINNERS TAKE ALL). We put CHILDREN OF THE CORN and TUFF TURF under the microscope and talk about the production of each, including casting, script changes, building a soundtrack, French New Wave, and what happened to the Cornmobile! As you will recall from the first part of our conversation with Fritz, he is as quick-witted and sharp as ever, so you don't want to miss this look back at two classic New World films. Again, we cannot thank Fritz enough for sitting down with us for such an extended discussion of his career! Don't miss it!

A young couple becomes stuck in the remote town of Gatlin, Nebraska, where the inhabiting children practice a cult, killing anyone over 18 years old. Children of the Corn is the next film we discuss in The Kids Aren't Alright month. An adaptation of the 1977 short story by Stephen King, this movie features children forming a cult and killing off any adults in a remote town in Nebraska. While we were mixed on this movie, it was fun to see the differing power dynamics within a cult formed by children and how they all had different takes on the rules. Watching the young couple come into contact with the children was an interesting clash as they get to experience how far from the norm they've gone. Watch the movie and catch our review.YouTube | The Final PodcastFacebook | The Final PodcastInstagram | thefinalpodcastMusic Credit: Karl Casey @ White Bat Audiohttps://www.youtube.com/whitebataudioWhat should we review next?

A horror sequel can be messy, cheap, and even ridiculous and still be a good time. Children of the Corn: Revelation somehow misses that entire lane, and we felt every minute of its 82-minute runtime. We're Sam, Mike, and Chad, and we're breaking down the seventh entry in the Children of the Corn franchise, a Stephen King spinoff that sits at a brutal 0% on Rotten Tomatoes.We start with a quick plot setup: Jamie heads to Omaha to check on her grandmother, finds a condemned apartment building, and gets pulled into a swarm of possessed children and half-explained religious horror. From there, we go category by category: first impressions, our Tropes Hall of Shame, and the “don't go back in the house” decisions that could have saved Jamie and definitely could have saved us. We also get into the craft failures that make this one such a slog, including the slow pacing, bargain-basement sets, shaky acting, and sound design that cranks generic music stings to eleven.Then we hit the fun parts: the weird one-liners, the most gratuitous scenes, what actually made us laugh out loud, and the biggest “what the hell was that?” moments, including plot holes we can't stop poking. We wrap by comparing it to better evil-kids horror, share a few bonus facts (including budget and franchise trivia), and lock in our watchability score.If you like horror movie reviews, Rotten Tomatoes worst-of lists, and unfiltered sequel autopsies, subscribe for more, share the episode with a friend who loves bad horror, and leave a rating or review so more listeners can find the show.

In this episode of Netflix vs. Cinema, hosts Tosin Ajayi, Shaun Harris, and Sharon Bollen debate the ultimate question: is it better to stay on the sofa or head to the local theater? The team reviews a mix of blockbuster sci-fi, international disasters, and indie dramas to help you decide where to spend your time and money. The Cinema Selection Mercy : The crew breaks down this Chris Pratt-led thriller set in a near-future Los Angeles. They discuss the film's "screen-life" aesthetic, its surveillance-state premise, and whether the third-act car chases ruin the tension. H Is for Hawk : Tosin reviews this adaptation of Helen Macdonald's memoir, exploring themes of grief and the "majestic" cinematography of a goshawk in flight. Is This Thing On? : Shaun shares his take on the Bradley Cooper-directed film about the life of comedian John Bishop. The Streaming Lineup The Great Flood (Netflix) : Sharon introduces this South Korean disaster film, praising its massive "paradigm shift" in the final act that flips the script on the ecological disaster genre. Shiva Baby (Channel 4/Streaming) : Tosin dives into this claustrophobic indie hit, comparing its social tension to a "domestic Uncut Gems ." Children of the Corn (2020) : Shaun revisits the latest iteration of the horror franchise, focusing on the "creepy" performance of its child lead. The Verdict Between the high-concept world-building of Mercy and the inventive storytelling found on Netflix, the hosts crown a winner for the week. Plus, stick around for the "Correspondence" segment where the team addresses listener feedback regarding filming locations and the logic of their 5-star rating system. Is Netflix killing cinemas? Each week we weigh up what we've seen in cinemas with what we've watched online at home and figure out which provided the best time. At least, we did before COVID jumped in and declared Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney + and friends the winner.

We end #HAHAugust 2: Double Take with a bucket list guest: director Fritz Kiersch, one of the important directors of the second New World Pictures era, helming CHILDREN OF THE CORN to TUFF TURF, and lastly, UNDER THE BOARDWALK. This is really a 2-part interview, with this being the second half, but, since we're releasing it first, so it's actually Part 1. Trust us, it will all make sense. In this part of the interview (Part 1), we discuss UNDER THE BOARDWALK and a non-New World film Kiersch directed prior, 1987's WINNERS TAKE ALL, including why Kiersch chose UNDER THE BOARDWALK for the third film in his 3-picture deal with the studio and why WINNERS TAKE ALL isn't a New World movie (when it really feels like one). In a two film span, there was plenty of drama, with hirings, firings, and the final days of New World Pictures, for which UNDER THE BOARDWALK was a victim. One of the final theatrical offerings New World would release, the film got buried by a lack of publicity, along with HEATHERS. With the help of Fritz, we're trying to change all that. Don't miss this terrific conversation, with Fritz explaining the casting, working with Robert King, and the production of UNDER THE BOARDWALK, and what Fritz originally intended with WINNERS TAKE ALL. We also touch briefly on TUFF TUF, but for more on that film, you'll have to wait until the second part of this conversation (really, Part 1). Again, it makes sense!

Episode 94: We dive back into the world of Stephen King with our review of Children of the Corn released in 1984!
Send us a textWho remembers Children Of The Corn from 1984? It's a Stephen King movie about a bunch of kids who play in a cornfield and decide to take over their town. It would sound like a wacky kids' movie if it weren't for all the killing, maiming, and demon-possessed corn stalks. Unfortunately for Peter Horton and Linda Hamilton, they wander into town and experience firsthand what has creeped kids and parents out who were lucky enough to watch this back in the day. At least that's how we remember it.Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
