This week on The No Boundaries Podcast, the guys kick things off with a lighthearted take on the phrases people use when lying — from “put that on my mama” to the timeless “may God be my witness.” From there, Welly F. dives into a brutal (and hilarious) review of The Long Walk, calling out Stephen King's film adaptation for being more punishment than plot. The conversation then pivots into how social media has rewired how people think, talk, and react, especially in a world where everyone's chasing validation instead of reflection. From corporate “CC culture” to online oversharing, they unpack how phones have replaced human connection and why slowing down still matters. Later, the fellas revisit the PPP era and festival culture, reminisce on ACL memories, pay respects to D'Angelo and Angie Stone, and close with some real talk on silent battles, faith, and protecting your peace as the holidays approach. It's funny, thoughtful, and brutally honest — classic No Boundaries.
The second half or 2025 seems to be heating up after a relatively lackluster start. This week, we cover the long awaited film adaptation of THE LONG WALK, the hard-hitting novella that Stephen King published as one of the infamous Richard Bachman stories. The production of this film has been on the table since 1988 with George Romero among others tapped to direct. The team of Francis Lawrence and JT Mollner received the final honors. Intro: “Necromaniacs” – Mike Hill Interlude: “Cellar Holes from a Lifetime Ago” - Crone Outro: “Hybrid Moments”– Misfts

If you've ever wondered what a conversation about Ecclesiastes between Tigger and Eeyore sounds like, it's your lucky day. Watch the full conversation on YouTube In a recent episode, Sho Baraka became the first guest to choose the book of Ecclesiastes for his Desert Island, “5 Books of the Bible” challenge we sometimes end our show with. So it seems fitting that a few weeks later we welcome Beth Moore to talk about the relevance and timeliness of these passages that weep for the seeming futility of the human experience. Together, Russell and Beth begin by exploring the relevance of the book for Christians and non-Christians alike. Then, they go on a free-wheeling exploration of the book including topics like surgeries and abandoned vineyards, Christmas Wig Exchanges, Stephen King, and, amazingly, Creed Bratton (if you know, you know). If you've ever had the thought, "I hate life,” and assumed the Bible was ignorant to the human experience of suffering, listen to hear how God has not only acknowledged the turmoil of our existential strivings, but has actually given us words for it.

Put down your briefcase and put on your dancing shoes, everybody, because today on Script Apart – a podcast about the first-draft secrets of great movies and TV shows – Mike Flanagan is back, tap-dancing through the end times with me in celebration of The Life Of Chuck. As I put it in my feature for Empire Magazine earlier this year, when I covered the movie's theatrical release, the phrase “feel-good” isn't often associated with the apocalypse. Nor, to be honest, with Mike's work in general, as one of the streaming era's premier fright-masters – a writer-director whose output so far have included vampire priests (Midnight Mass), acid showers (Fall Of The House Of Usher) and some of the most harrowing small-screen deaths in recent memory (The Haunting Of Hill House, I am still not over you)."Feel-good" is not how you'd typically describe the icon of literary terror he's becoming closely associated with, either. The Life Of Chuck is the third time Mike has adapted the great Stephen King, after Gerald's Game and Doctor Sleep (he also has new adaptations of Carrie and The Dark Tower on the way). But The Life Of Chuck is, nonetheless, as “feel-good” as apocalypse stories come. It stars Tom Hiddleston as an ordinary-looking man who mysteriously begins appearing on billboards as a divorced couple's leafy suburban existence is interrupted by a series of globe-threatening disasters. The mystery of “Who is Chuck?” propels a story more still and sentimental than many viewers might expect from Flanagan, from King, from the end of the world.In the spoiler conversation you're about to hear, Mike calls in from the set of Carrie, which he's in production on at the moment, to break down the film in extensive detail. We get into the meaning of the Carl Sagan-inspired monologue that Mike added to King's source text. We talk about the one detail in the film's transcendent dance sequence that breaks my heart just to think about. And of course, we touch on that moving, ambiguous ending and how it fits into a body of work that often involves locked rooms. Script Apart is hosted by Al Horner and produced by Kamil Dymek.

Tobe Hooper's Salem's Lot From time to time movies slip through the cracks. Although Tobe Hooper's Salem's Lot is considered a television classic, it is a film that your movie podcaset host has somehow missed these 46 years. Adapted from Stephen King's 1975 best-seller, this 1979 adaptation features David Soul from TVs Starsky & Hutch, as well as future Mrs. Holly McClane, Bonnie Bedelia. What could have easily been a throw-away television mini-series, is instead a ground-breaking take on Vampires, Lust, and Small-Town Paranoia. Guided through the directorial lens of Mr. Hooper, shortly after the landmark Horror spectacle, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) and before Poltergeist (1982), Hooper elevates the material to a truly frightening and exciting experience. If you haven't seen this classic you owe it to yourself to make the time. Take a listen and let us know what you think. Questions, Comments, Complaints, and Suggestions can be directed to gondoramos@yahoo.com. Many Thanks.

In this second episode of Series Book Month, hosts Greg and Nathan shift from the sweeping realms of Tolkien's fantasy to the shadowy corridors of horror fiction—focusing on the works of Stephen King, the modern master of the genre. But what place, if any, does horror have in the Christian imagination? This week, Greg and Nathan explore how horror—far from being mere entertainment—can actually deepen our understanding of sin, evil, judgment, and grace. With thoughtful reflection and biblical grounding, they discuss how horror exposes the brokenness of the world, the desperate human need for redemption, and the paths to discovery. Far from glorifying evil, a well-crafted horror story often reveals the very thing Christians are called to confront: the horror of a world without God—and the hope that remains because of Him. Whether you're a longtime Stephen King reader or a skeptic of the genre, this episode offers a surprising, thought-provoking look at why engaging with dark stories can actually point us toward the light.
Spookies, you're not experiencing déjà vu: We are in fact once again covering a cinematic take on Stephen King's IT as we celebrate Sydney's birthday. This year, we're breaking out the balloons a little early, though, because our new episode on IT (2017) is just one half of the party we've humbly deemed Sydneypalooza Presents: Clowntober TwosWeeks. First up is Pennywise, and we're heading down into the sewers with him as we talk about Taylor Swift TikTok edits, our love for the state of Maine, and how crabs are the spiders of the sea.

DEFENDANT: Pennywise the Dancing Clown EVIDENCE: Manos Special Edition "IT" Cabernet Sauvignon SCENE OF THE CRIME: Derry, Maine -- Hey friend — pull up a chair (but maybe keep an eye on the storm drain). In this episode we crack open some Manos vino and dive headfirst into Stephen King's It: the book, the 1990 miniseries, and the 2017/2019 films. We chat about why the various adaptations land so differently, what makes Pennywise terrifying (Tim Curry vs. Bill Skarsgård), and how the story's big ideas — childhood trauma, memory, and fear — get handled across formats. We also get candid about the parts that don't sit right: problematic elements in the book, how King's worldview shows up in his writing, and why some of his choices (yep, we mean that one scene) feel unnecessary and disturbing. It's a frank, cozy, and sometimes messy convo — the kind you'd have with your snarkiest, warmest friends over a glass (or three). If you love horror history, behind-the-scenes casting tea, and judge-y takes on iconic scenes, this episode is for you. And if you're terrified of clowns or storm drains... we hear you. We'll hold the light while you walk by the gutter.

High in the Colorado Rockies stands a hotel that has welcomed presidents, movie stars, and curious travelers, but it is the ghosts that made it famous.In this episode, we uncover the story of the Stanley Hotel, an opulent mountain retreat built in the early 1900s that became as legendary for its hauntings as its grandeur. From its origins as F.O. Stanley's vision of luxury and health to chilling reports of spectral children, phantom piano music, and rooms so active they inspired Stephen King's The Shining, we explore the history and the paranormal legacy of one of America's most iconic haunted hotels.Edited by Max Holechek
On Day 12 of The Conner & Smith Show's 31 Days of Halloween, I'm joined by Ryan Dean Halbrook as we dive into Brian De Palma's Carrie (1976). Nearly fifty years later, this chilling adaptation of Stephen King's debut novel still holds up as one of the greatest horror films ever made. From Sissy Spacek's haunting performance to Piper Laurie's unhinged turn as her mother, Carrie remains a masterclass in tension, tragedy, and teenage terror. We talk about why it still works so well today—and how much we absolutely love it.Support The Conner & Smith Show on Patreon here:https://www.patreon.com/ConnerandSmith?utm_campaign=creatorshare_fan
After missing their one-flight-a-day from the Australian desert, the gang decide to shelter for the night in an abandoned shack deep in the outback. Inside they find a VHS player, and three tapes. But this is no ordinary VHS player, as the moment the tape goes in the world shimmers in static and we find ourselves transported to... A sewer. There's distant crying coming from the darkness and a creepy red balloon hovering in the air. But there's no time for clowning around when there's a puzzle to solve.

Craig Davidson has published five books of literary fiction, including RUST AND BONE, which was the inspiration for a Golden Globe–nominated feature film of the same name; the Scotiabank Giller Prize–nominated novel CATARACT CITY; and the novel THE SATURDAY NIGHT GHOST CLUB, which was a finalist for the Rogers Writers Trust Fiction Prize. He also writes horror fiction under the name Nick Cutter: THE TROOP, THE DEEP, LITTLE HEAVEN, THE HANDYMAN METHOD, and THE QUEEN, amongst others. In this interview, we talk about Craig's key influences (including Stephen King and Anne Rice) and how his work under the Nick Cutter name allowed him to explore the horror genre with books like THE TROOP.

This week's episode features an engaging conversation where Joe opens up to Cody about his recent decision to finally cancel his Xbox GamePass subscription. After months of contemplating its value versus the time he actually spent gaming, Joe felt it was the right move to make. This cancellation prompts a deeper discussion about gaming habits and how they can shift over time, especially as other interests begin to take precedence. Following this, Joe shares his experience with the ReMarkable 2 tablet, which his brother recently purchased. He describes the unique features of the device, particularly its paper-like feel and the ease with which he can take notes and sketch ideas. Joe delves into how this tablet has influenced his productivity and creativity, making it an appealing option for anyone looking to enhance their digital note-taking experience.As the conversation progresses, Joe reveals that he has been contemplating a return to the world of comic books, but this time through digital formats. He reflects on his childhood nostalgia for flipping through the pages of comic books and how the digital landscape has evolved to offer a plethora of options for readers today. Joe mentions various platforms and apps that cater to comic book enthusiasts, making it easier than ever to access a vast array of titles and genres. This leads to an intriguing discussion about the differences between physical and digital comics, including the advantages of portability and searchability that digital versions provide.Transitioning from comics, Joe brings up some recent news regarding The Witcher series of books. He discusses how CD Projekt Red, the developers behind the popular Witcher video games, have taken creative liberties in expanding on storylines and characters that were not originally present in Andrzej Sapkowski's written works. This opens a dialogue about the balance between staying true to source material and the necessity of adapting narratives for different media. Joe shares specific examples of characters and plotlines that were fleshed out in the games, sparking a debate on whether these additions enhance or detract from the original story. Furthermore, Joe excitedly mentions a new addition to The Witcher universe: a prequel book by Andrzej Sapkowski that promises to explore untold tales and deepen the lore of the series.In response, Cody shares his thoughts on a book he has been immersed in lately, titled The End of the World As We Know It: New Tales of Stephen King's The Stand. He expresses his admiration for the way the anthology captures the essence of King's storytelling while introducing new perspectives and narratives within the established universe.

Our trip to Stephen King country takes us on a trip out to snowy Colorado for a stay at The Overlook Hotel. It's time for The Shining! Stanley Kubrick and co-writer Diane Johnson infamously made many changes in their adaptation of Stephen King's novel, causing King to get so frustrated he wrote a new adaptation for TV himself. Yet, The Shining lives on, and is widely acclaimed as one of Kubrick's best films. Friend of the show Joaquin Dominguez joins us to discuss one of his most-watched movies of all time as we check in with this influential horror classic. What's your favorite Stephen King adaptation?

Maximum Overdrive is a 1986 American horror film written and directed by Stephen King, in his only directorial effort. The film stars Emilio Estevez, Pat Hingle, Laura Harrington, John Short, Yeardley Smith and Christopher Murney. The screenplay was inspired by and loosely based on King's short story "Trucks", which was included in the author's first collection of short stories, Night Shift, and follows the events after all machines (including trucks, radios, arcade games, vending machines, etc.) become sentient when Earth crosses the tail of a comet, initiating a worldwide killing spree.The film is King's only directorial effort, though dozens of films have been based on his novels or short stories. It contained black humor elements and a generally campy tone, which contrasts with King's somber subject matter in books. The film has a mid-1980s hard rock soundtrack composed entirely by the group AC/DC (King's favorite band), whose album Who Made Who was released as the Maximum Overdrive soundtrack. It includes the best-selling singles "Who Made Who", "You Shook Me All Night Long", and "Hells Bells".Maximum Overdrive was theatrically released on July 25, 1986, to critical and commercial failure. It was nominated for two Golden Raspberry Awards including Worst Director for King and Worst Actor for Estevez in 1987, but both lost to Prince for Under the Cherry Moon. King disowned the film, describing it as a "moron movie", and considered the process a learning experience, after which he intended never to direct again.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59
