Podcasts about Needful Things

A devilish shopkeeper arrives in a small Maine town, his suitcase packed with wonders and his ledger full of names. In "Needful Things," we witness the unraveling of Castle Rock through the machinations of one Leland Gaunt, a stranger with uncanny insight into the deepest desires of everyone he meets.Max von Sydow masterfully portrays Gaunt, the charismatic proprietor offering townsfolk exactly what they want most—a rare baseball card, a carnival glass lampshade, Elvis Presley's sunglasses—items that speak to profound yearning far beyond their material worth. But these treasures come with a hidden cost. Each customer must perform a seemingly harmless prank on another resident, tricks that Gaunt orchestrates to prey on existing tensions within the community.What makes this Stephen King adaptation so compelling isn't the supernatural elements but its exploration of human psychology. As Sheriff Alan Pangborn (Ed Harris) watches his peaceful town descend into chaos, we witness how easily social bonds fray when neighbors suspect each other of increasingly malicious acts. The film excels at demonstrating the domino effect of Gaunt's manipulations—how small slights escalate to violence, how petty rivalries bloom into murderous rage.The film poses an uncomfortable question that resonates beyond its 1993 release: What would you sacrifice for your heart's desire? As we watch characters commit increasingly terrible acts to obtain or keep seemingly trivial objects, we're forced to examine our own attachments and what price we might pay for them. When the shop stands empty for those who want nothing, we're left wondering—is contentment our strongest defense against temptation? And in a world constantly selling us solutions to problems we didn't know we had, perhaps this cautionary tale about the cost of getting exactly what you want strikes deeper now than ever before.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit thewccs.substack.comThe Writing Community Chat Show has always been about celebrating authors, sharing their stories, and inspiring writers everywhere. Our recent interview with J.D. Barker was nothing short of spectacular, a rollercoaster ride of storytelling, career breakthroughs, and invaluable advice. Today, we're giving you a sneak peek into some of the unforgettable moments from this one-of-a-kind conversation. Want the full experience? Become a member now and watch it today.A Tale of Determination: From Stephen King to StardomJ.D. Barker shared an unbelievable story about how his career skyrocketed after what started as a failed attempt to connect with Stephen King. Barker had reached out to King with the hope of receiving permission to use a character from Needful Things in his debut novel, Forsaken. Though King didn't initially respond, fate intervened: King's assistant eventually passed the manuscript along, and to Barker's astonishment, King gave his blessing. The rest is history. This incredible moment not only legitimized Barker's work but also opened doors to a world of opportunity.“It's one of those surreal moments that still feels like a dream,” Barker told us, laughing as he recalled the experience. “One minute, I was trying to track down King; the next, my book sales exploded overnight.”The James Patterson EffectAs if that wasn't enough, Barker also talked about his game-changing collaboration with James Patterson, one of the most successful authors of all time. Patterson's approach to storytelling and his disciplined process left a profound impact on Barker.“James has this incredible ability to simplify storytelling without losing depth,” Barker shared. “Working with him forced me to become a more efficient writer. I used to labor over every sentence, but now I've learned to trust my instincts.”This partnership not only honed Barker's craft but also expanded his reach to an even larger global audience. The camaraderie between these two literary giants is inspiring, and the lessons Barker gleaned are gold for any aspiring writer.Dracul: The Legacy of Bram Stoker Lives OnOne of the most jaw-dropping moments of the interview was when Barker recounted how the Bram Stoker family approached him to co-write a prequel to Dracula. Armed with Bram Stoker's original notes and journals—many of which had never been made public—Barker embarked on the daunting task of bringing Dracul to life. The novel was an instant hit, earning praise from critics and fans alike, while being optioned for film by Paramount.“I'll never forget that phone call,” Barker said, his eyes lighting up. “To have the Stoker family trust me with something so personal and iconic—it was both humbling and terrifying. But that's the kind of challenge you dream of as a writer.”Why You Should Watch NowFrom perseverance to partnerships, J.D. Barker's story is a masterclass in grit, creativity, and seizing opportunities. And the best part? This is just the tip of the iceberg. The full interview dives deeper into his creative process, the ups and downs of his journey, and his invaluable advice for writers at every stage of their careers.You can wait two weeks to watch it when we release it publicly, but why delay the inspiration?

Thursday, 31 October 2024   They immediately left their nets and followed Him. Matthew 4:20   “And immediately, having left the nets, they followed Him” (CG).   In the previous verse, Jesus told Simon, called Peter, and Andrew to follow Him, and He would make them fishers of men. With that called out, it next says, “And immediately.”   There is no sense of hesitation. When Jesus was baptized, it said that He immediately went up from the water. One act followed directly after the next. That is how it is here. From the parallel account, it is understood that they already knew Jesus was the Messiah, having come with Him to the region of the Galilee.   While there, they went back to work in order to continue their profession. In responding to this call, however, a break from that has taken place. This should not be pressed too far as they will continue to fish even after the resurrection as noted in John 21. However, upon receiving this call, it next says, “having left the nets.”   Again, though sermons and scholarly writings indicate that they simply walked away from the nets, leaving behind their livelihood, that must be inserted into the narrative. Were they with others who they left the nests with? Did they roll them up and put them in the boat for later use? Or did they just drop the nets and walk away? Our minds will make up what we want the narrative to say regardless of whatever really happened.   The word translated as nets is diktuon. This is the first use of it in Scripture and it is completely different than the word used in verse 4:18. Thayer's Greek Lexicon says it is the generic term for any type of net, including fishing. Whatever they did with them, they left them, and “they followed Him.”   Smart move on their part. Nothing in the narrative is forced. Nothing says that they were regenerated in order to follow. Jesus called them and they responded in faith that He was their Messiah. This is recorded in John 1 –   “Again, the next day, John stood with two of his disciples. 36 And looking at Jesus as He walked, he said, ‘Behold the Lamb of God!' 37 The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. 38 Then Jesus turned, and seeing them following, said to them, ‘What do you seek?' They said to Him, ‘Rabbi' (which is to say, when translated, Teacher), ‘where are You staying?' 39 He said to them, ‘Come and see.' They came and saw where He was staying, and remained with Him that day (now it was about the tenth hour). 40 One of the two who heard John speak, and followed Him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. 41 He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him, ‘We have found the Messiah' (which is translated, the Christ). 42 And he brought him to Jesus. Now when Jesus looked at him, He said, ‘You are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas' (which is translated, A Stone).” John 1:35-42   Life application: You may have sat in a church and heard a sermon on this passage. Think of what you heard. The pastor probably said how amazing it was that these two got a call from someone, they were stunned at His offer, and they simply walked away from their nets and started a new life, abandoning everything in the process.   You may have inserted your own thoughts into the narrative as well, such as the color of the water, the size of the Sea of Galilee (if you had never seen it), the color of the sky, and so forth. You may have even made a mental image of Jesus and the two apostles. Of this verse, John Gill says –   “That is, as soon as he had called them, they left their worldly employment, and followed him; they gave up themselves to his service, and became his disciples; they not only left their "nets", but their fishing boats, and fishing trade, and all that belonged to it, even all their substance; and also their relations, friends, and acquaintance, see Matthew 19:27 which shows what a mighty power went along with the words and call of Christ; and what a ready, cheerful, and voluntary subjection this produces, wherever it takes place.”   Obviously, based on the commentary above, his words are not actually supportable from what the rest of the gospels continue to show. But this is how Gill perceived things.   People often get in a tizzy over movies about the Bible, especially movies about Jesus. They will spend all of their time cutting apart the movie as if it is supposed to be some type of exacting presentation of Scripture, and any deviation from it is heretical.   But you have just been thinking of the color of the sky and what Jesus looks like to you while reading my comments. With that type of logic, either my words were leading you into heresy, or your thoughts have led you into it (terrifying, for sure!). That is unreasonable.   People who have watched and loved The Ten Commandments with Charlton Heston may refuse to watch The Passion of the Christ or a series like The Chosen. Why? Probably because one is a Hollywood blockbuster that was never intended to be anything but a drama about the life of Moses while the others are held to some inordinately high standard for... for what reason?   Innumerable people love The Greatest Story Ever Told, and yet Max Von Sydow (Jesus) was an atheist or agnostic (he wasn't sure). Curiously, he also played the devil in Needful Things. But what do those things have to do with the content of The Greatest Story Ever Told? Lots of people watched that, and probably many of them malign other more biblically accurate movies or series.   As for actors, it is common for people to ridicule The Passion of the Christ because some of the actors are sinners (hmm....) but they don't mind watching The Ten Commandments with Yul Brynner as one of the actors. But it is generally accepted that he was bisexual. In Ben Hur, another great movie. The lady who played Esther, the female star, Haya Harareet, was a twice-divorced Ashkenazi Jew. Throw up your arms! She didn't even believe in Jesus.   The movie won 11 Academy Awards and is loved by Christians everywhere, and yet it has almost nothing to do with Scripture, and nobody cares about the actors' personal lives. The attack by Christians over well-made Christian movies is totally hypocritical.   And more to the point, the same people who tear apart Christian movies are almost 100% guaranteed to watch any given Hollywood movie or TV show. Which is going to be more edifying?   Don't let people rob your joy over presentations of Scripture that may not be minutely precise. If that is what you are looking for, you probably should not think while reading the Bible, lest your mind insert something that actually didn't happen in whatever story you are reading.   A town in Germany, Oberammergau, has held a Passion play every decade since 1634. It is performed on the world's largest open-air stage. One can be assured that the play is directed by sinners, played by sinners, and does not exactingly follow Scripture, and yet it has been a cherished part of their history for almost four hundred years.   Instead of tearing apart those who are trying to make a difference in films and videos in regard to their efforts to exalt the Lord, be someone who is willing to simply enjoy these treasures for what they are. Fill your life with Jesus in whatever way is edifying and which exalts Him.   Lord God, thank You for plays, films, and reenactments of our Lord Jesus. They help us to keep our mind on what is good, even if they are not word for word in accord with Your word. They are there to make a difference, and for many of us, they truly do. But, Lord, help us always to put Your word above all else when it comes to our understanding of You and what You expect for us. Amen.

For today's episode, we discuss Autism with J.D. Barker. J.D. is a New York Times and International Best-Selling Author. His debut novel, Forsaken, caught the attention of legendary Author, Stephen King, who allowed Barker to use one of his characters from Needful Things for Barker's debut novel. His writing career took off with The Fourth Monkey, which drew widespread attention, leading to a series of auctions and pre-empts for its publishing rights globally. Barker's style often involves intricate plots that blend psychological depth with supernatural or crime elements, appealing to fans of both horror and thriller genres.Barker's work expanded when he was approached by Bram Stoker's family to co-author a prequel to Dracula, titled Dracul, utilizing previously unpublished notes by Stoker. Barker is a frequent co-author with legendary writer, James Patterson. Listen to how Barker can create such vivid imagination with the characters he creates. In addition, Barker shares critical information on how he navigates such a prolific and successful writing career, often managing many projects with great efficiency. This episode provides critical insights on how the Autistic Phenotype can strive with their unique superpowers.J.D.

Needful Things is a 1991 Stephen King horror novels. I think it's one of King's best and is a great book wether this is your first King novel or your 200th. In this episode I go through the plot and themes of this book and there are spoilers in this review.

This amazing film by David Cronenberg is one of Ron's “drag them to the couch” films, and he finally got an excuse to do that to Guy given that we recently watched another Ed Harris movie, “Needful Things”. (Don't tell Guy, but this is way better…)It's just one of those rare perfectly constructed films that will hopefully go down in film history.To see why, listen in! This is a public episode.

Don't be fooled by the shelves upon shelves of useless crap, Leland Gaunt will run down to his little basement to get the thing you most desire in this world. In Stephen King's Needful Things (1993), the Devil (maybe) comes to Castle Rock to sow discord between the good townsfolk. And whilst he proves he can see the future, he fails to predict just how boring two hours of cinema can be.Music created by Jack Parsons.Follow us on Twitter & Instagram and check out our YouTube channel.

When a genial elderly shop owner opens a new store in the fictional Maine town of Castle Rock, he sells people trinkets that are treasured beyond measure, for a very small price. But the price may prove to be far more destructive than anyone could have imagined.Our conversation tackles the text of the original book, and the film adaptation from 1993 (in both its theatrical version and the extended 3-hour television cut).

T. Walsh, Amanda Plummer Directed By: Fraser Clarke Heston Synopsis: When a creepy older man named Leland Gaunt (Max von Sydow) moves to a small town in Maine and sets up an antique shop, bad things soon follow. Gaunt has the remarkable ability of selling people exactly what they want most, but his ideal purchases come at a price that involves more than just money. Through Gaunt's manipulation, the citizens of the town gradually turn on one another, resulting in violence that Sheriff Alan Pangborn (Ed Harris) struggles to contain.

This week in physical media, Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski look at some classic genre fare, classics of the cult variety and some films still overlooked. They include films from Douglas Fairbanks, John Wayne and Howard Hughes. Harrison Ford's screen debut can be found as can one of the better Mike Myers comedies and one of the films chosen for this year's Chicago Critics Film Festival. For the cult crowd there is a foursome of Chucky films, two versions of a Stephen King adaptation and a cable staple from the late ‘80s. An early MST3K favorite gets a Blu-ray upgrade and even earlier music videos get themselves a collection. The discussion is bookended with a pair of must-own titles though including a sci-fi classic from the 1950s and the film which launched the great Bill Paxton into the next phase of his great career. 0:38 - Criterion (One False Move (4K)) 8:27 - Cohen Media (Robin Hood (1922) / The Black Pirate (1926)) 12:36 - Arrow Films (Blood Money: Four Classic Westerns) 17:45 - Lions Gate (My Best Friend Is a Vampire (Vestron Collector's Series)) 21:43 - Indicator (Jet Pilot, Thunderbolt, Night Has a Thousand Eyes, The Song of Songs) 33:39 - Music Box (Revoir Paris) 36:49 - Kino (Soundies: The Ultimate Collection, T.S.

A devilish figure arrives in the small town of Castle Rock and he offers items to the townsfolk in exchange for an escalating series of pranks that could very well rip the town apart. Stephen King's Needful Things is an epic book that is darkly funny and also unflinching in its examination of the rot that festers at the heart of small town America.

Across Minnesota and the nation, new and more diverse independent bookstores have been popping up. In fact, for every independent bookstore that has closed since 2020, more than three new ones have opened, according to the American Booksellers Association. It's part of a continuing trend jumpstarted by the pandemic, and each of these bookstores has a story of its own.  When Josh Hames saw the storefront up for lease in West St. Paul, he knew it was perfect for a bookstore. It was late at night, and the lights on the side of the building illuminated the old brick building. He could see the tall ceilings through the windows.   “It looked like the cover to ‘Needful Things' by Stephen King a little bit,” he said.   Hames, 30, opened Other Skies Weird Fiction in 2022, just in time for his favorite holiday: Halloween. The store sells high-quality editions of horror, sci-fi and imaginative fiction. Hames has been collecting these genres since he was 14, but the pandemic shutdown really clarified that passion. “We all had time to reflect on, what are the things that we really, really like to do when we go out? And for me I found that, even before the pandemic, I would always spend all my time looking for books, at Goodwill, thrift shops, estate sales. I was always out there buying books, and I thought, man, that's really important, I want to be a part of that,” he said. It turns out, others do, too, and Hames said he's been blown away by the community of readers who share his interest. A couple hundred miles to the northwest, in Detroit Lakes, Minn., Amy Erickson was feeling the lack of a bookstore in her town. The closest one was about a half-hour away, ever since the local Book World closed. “And when they closed, I said, ‘I don't know that I can live in a town without a bookstore.' It just felt wrong somehow,” Erickson said. Erickson was a 49-year-old stay-at-home mother of three. When the pandemic hit and her husband suddenly stopped traveling for work, they had some big family discussions. “And I said, you know, if I don't do this by the time I'm 50, I'm probably never going to do it,” she said. “I don't want to live knowing that I there was something that I wanted to do and I could do and I just didn't do it.” In May 2022, she took a leap of faith and launched Bluebird Books. It's a family affair: Her three teenage kids are now all old enough to work in the store, along with some of their friends.   “I love being surrounded by books all the time,” she said. “My favorite thing in the world is when someone walks back into the bookstore and says, ‘You recommended that book to me, and I absolutely loved it. What else? What other recommendations do you have?' That makes my heart happy.”  Bluebird Books and Other Skies Weird Fiction are two of the 15 new independent bookstores that have opened in Minnesota since March 2020. That's a big rise, and it's in line with a regional and national trend. Carrie Obry is the executive director of the Midwest Independent Booksellers Association. She credits the rise in part to Bookshop.org, the website that lets people buy books online and shares the profit with indie bookstores. She says having that online platform has democratized the bookselling industry.  “There's just a whole new influx of wonderful much-needed energy and diversity coming through our ranks of bookstore owners,” Obry said. There are challenges, of course, for any bookstore: competition for customers' time and attention, accelerating rent rates in an industry prone to low wages and supply chain issues.  Former educator Mary Taris never expected to open a bookstore. When she got fed up with not seeing enough great children's books by authors of color, she started Strive Publishing in 2018. She quickly found the need was far greater than a one-woman publisher could address. After the murder of George Floyd, Taris said Strive publishing was flooded with people wanting to write their own stories. “The civil unrest was a huge contributing factor in me kind of doubling down on my mission to elevate Black voices,” Taris said. She looked for partnerships, and she found space in the IDS building in downtown Minneapolis, tucked among other retailers in the Black-woman owned Sistah Co-op. The tiny Strive Bookstore struggled for foot traffic following its opening in the fall of 2021, but still, Taris saw an impact. “When Black people come in, they're like, ‘Wow, this is for us,'” she said. “And I even get more people who are inspired to write, you know, when they come into the bookstore, and just, it kind of feels like, the more I can do in the book space, the more our mission can come alive.” Working with the Minneapolis Downtown Council, she's about to open a second location in the historic Young Quinlan Building on Nicollet Avenue in downtown Minneapolis. The ribbon-cutting ceremony is Saturday, June 2. The 4,000-square-foot space has gotten some pre-opening customer praise: “‘Oh, wow, this is so beautiful!' That's what I hear,” she said. Taris can't wait to use the space to celebrate authors and cross-cultural communication. Because whatever the path they take to get there, for booksellers, there's no better feeling than getting the right book into a reader's hands.

Rick noticed some horror movies & TV shows where high school jackets are blue & yellow. Rather than google things, he asked costume designer, Fangoria contributor & fashion historian, Jolene Richardson to return to the podcast & take him to school. They talk about about this coincidence in Needful Things, Scream & Yellowjackets. Jolene tells Rick about the origin of school colors, gives credit to costume designers by name, which doesn't happen enough & they both remember their time in catholic school. Plus, they get into reading Fangoria while donating platelets, My Heart Is A Chainsaw, The Overlook Film Festival, working on The Last Drive In & Scare Package 2, New Orleans, the arthouse/farthouse double feature, supporting the Writers' Guild Of America & more.

Shat The Movies is no stranger to film adaptations of Stephen King books, but this is the first one Big D has actually read. "Needful Things" combines the unexpected star power of Ed Harris and Max von Sydow with the unexpected bosom of Bonnie Bedelia to bring us a movie with a devilishly good premise and abysmal special effects. Gene felt "Needful Things" was more Muppet movie than a genuine horror flick. Ash begged all the characters to install alarm systems, and Big D pointed out the missing reveal that really would have brought the whole tale home. In the end, the Shat Crew agreed the film simply had to be intended as a horror-comedy. In this episode, we also discuss: what "needful thing" each Shat The Movies co-host would choose, how the movie did Nettie dirty, materialism, hypocrisy, the slowest cop ever, easily convinced townsfolk who all happen to be trained stunt performers, and how to properly blow up a church.
