No one can tell what goes on in between the person you were and the person you become. No one can chart that blue and lonely section of Draft Class. There are no maps of the change. You just come out the other side. Re-Joining Jon Saks for Round 4 of the STEPHEN KING Draft - SPECIAL GUESTS!Christopher FeinsteinFrank BonacciJudd FeinsteinCheck out Chris's book!!
He had discovered that there was not just one Draft Class but many, and some were more than cruel — they were insane, and that changed all. Cruelty, after all, was understandable. With insanity, however, there was no arguing.Re-Joining Jon Saks for Round 6 of the STEPHEN KING Draft - SPECIAL GUESTS!Christopher FeinsteinFrank BonacciJudd FeinsteinCheck out Chris's book!!

Steven Spielberg tried his hand at a Twilight Zone-ish series in 1985 that didn't exactly set the ratings world on fire, but would prove to be formative for a whole generation of imaginative kids. Amazing Stories brought in a combination of seasoned pros like Scorsese and Clint Eastwood and exciting, young talent, including today's guest, writer and filmmaker Mick Garris. Mick became famous for his Stephen King adaptations like The Stand and The Shining mini-series, but it was Steven Spielberg who gave him his first shot, first writing a few episodes on the first season of Amazing Stories, and then acting as head writer overseeing all the scripts coming in before eventually giving him a chance at directing an episode in Season 2. Mick makes his first appearance on The Spiel talking about his time on Amazing Stories, collaborating with Spielberg, and writing for people like Martin Scorsese and Joe Dante.

Hosts Josh and Jamie and special returning guest Mike Thorn kick off SPOOKTOBER by discussing two different eras of largely faithful Stephen King adaptations: Mary Lambert's playful, colorful and yet still effectively upsetting and morbid realization of PET SEMATARY (1989) and Lawrence Kasdan's attempt at keeping a straight (expensive Hollywood production) face while King bizarrely remixes many of his career-long obsessions in the painkiller induced fever dream of DREAMCATCHER (2003).

Then, more is discussed in Arcand Fire including Sheduer Sanders' actions, Al Horford leaving the Celtics, and the mayoral race in Boston.

This is one of those oopsisodes where it's not so much that we forgot, but rather that there's just too much to say. This week, we revisit The Life of Chuck by Stephen King.

Summary In this episode, Donny discusses the concept of branding in various aspects of society, including politics, social issues, and cultural events. The conversation covers the current political landscape, the impact of government shutdowns, rising anti-Semitism, women's workforce participation, censorship in literature, and the cultural significance of events like the Super Bowl halftime show. Additionally, the episode highlights trends in the music industry, Broadway's financial struggles, the nostalgia for landlines, and the popularity of subtitles in streaming. The episode concludes with a look at wedding trends and Halloween costumes, emphasizing the evolving nature of branding in contemporary society. Takeaways Everything today is a brand. Both parties lose, the American public loses. Anti-Semitic incidents worldwide rose by 340%. More women are leaving the workforce. Stephen King is the most banned author in US schools. ICE does not belong at the Super Bowl. Taylor Swift's album drops today. Broadway musicals may be in peril. Landlines are making a comeback. October is now the biggest wedding month.

From the works of one of America's pre-eminent film directors to the works of one of its greatest…authors? October is here, and for our annual spooky season theme we're watching film adaptations based on the writing of Stephen King! We're starting back at the beginning with 1976's Carrie. Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie broke the horror barrier, earning Oscar nominations for their performances in Brian de Palma's adaptation of King's debut novel. We take a moment to discuss King's general career, before jumping into the movie. What's your favorite Stephen King adaptation? Let us know at cinemaontappodcast@gmail.com
En attendant la sortie de la nouvelle adaptation du roman éponyme de Stephen King signée Edgar Wright, les comparses Stéphane Moïssakis et Julien Charpentier se penchent sur RUNNING MAN de Paul Michael Glaser, avec Arnold Schwarzenegger qui tente de sauver sa peau dans un jeu télévisée meurtrier. Et le moins qu'on puisse dire, c'est qu'ils déboulonnent gentiment cette petite série B, restée "un bon souvenir" dans l'esprit des nostalgiques des années 80.

Hard work needs to be a given if you're going to have any chance at success.We come to the final episode of our 2nd week of episodes in the new format for the podcast, where I come to you three times each week, as opposed to just one time. This week, we have been dealing with the concept of Hard Work. Today, I have four quotes for you, but there is a key concept in these quotes that is critical for you to understand is NOT necessary for you to be successful (which most people think is), as long as you make hard work one of the most important elements of your focus. Enjoy!For more information to help you on your road to becoming your best, check us out at SlamDunkSuccess.com or email me at scott@slamdunksuccess.com.As always, our background music is "Dance in the Sun" by Krisztian Vass.
Grab your coziest blanket, because in this episode of Cozy Conversations, The Sister Project's very own Lauren and Michelle are serving up a nostalgia-packed buffet of laughs, memories, and a few deep thoughts (because balance).From childhood movies and quirky family traditions to turbulence in the skies and the mysteries of Amelia Earhart, these sisters weave their way through stories that remind us why looking back often helps us move forward. Along the way, they dish on Stephen King, the art of cozy home décor, and even how Western fashion made a surprise comeback.As always, Lauren and Michelle bring their Midwestern humor, candid storytelling, and signature cozy perspective to the mic—proving that nostalgia isn't just about the past, it's a tool for connection, resilience, and maybe even a little sanity.So pour yourself a martini (Lauren's Friday ritual), light a candle (preferably one of theirs), and press play. This one's for anyone who loves finding the magic tucked inside old memories and shared laughter.Resources: Lizzie Selle StudioWinning With WyattFollow Us!Shop Our Seasonal Candle LineCheck Out Our Website!Thank you to our sponsor, Helping Hand.

On today's episode of Spun Today, host Tony Ortiz sits down with the powerhouse creative duo Blarime ‘Blu' Topalli and Peter Stass—veteran writers, filmmakers, and the minds behind the atmospheric new horror podcast, The Night Visitor. Together, they dive deep into the art of collaboration, exploring how blending backgrounds in gothic fiction, comedy, screenwriting, and visual effects leads to stories that both thrill and provoke thought. Blu brings her experience from working on iconic projects like Titanic and My Big Fat Greek Wedding, along with her love of gothic literature and psychological horror. Peter, meanwhile, draws on a rich foundation in comic book art, screenwriting, and his unique ability to straddle the worlds of humor and terror. In this conversation, they open up about their creative process, the magic of partnership without ego, and why the best horror uncovers truths about ourselves—not just our fears. Whether you're a writer, creator, or simply love a good story, this is an episode about the craft of storytelling, the power of cathartic genres like horror and comedy, and how chasing creative risk—rather than playing it safe—can lead to truly original work. Stay tuned for inspiration, behind-the-scenes stories, and a masterclass in creative chemistry. The Spun Today Podcast is a Podcast that is anchored in Writing, but unlimited in scope.

Joel and Andy kick off the month with the 1997 The Shining miniseries. Stephen King wasn't happy with Stanley Kubrick's iconic version of his film, so he wrote the screenplay for this version in hopes that it would be more faithful to his original version.

It took decades in development hell for an adaptation of Stephen King's THE LONG WALK to trudge its way into theaters, and now that it has, we're of split opinions on how Francis Lawrence's film goes about distinguishing itself from its source material, particularly in its graphic depiction of violence. There's also the matter of the film's very different ending, which we dig into once we move into Connections to compare how THE LONG WALK's endurance contest compares to the one in Sydney Pollack's THEY SHOOT HORSES, DON'T THEY?, in terms of how voluntary they actually are, what spectators get out of watching participants suffer, and what passes for victory in a contest where no one really wins. Then, in Your Next Picture Show, we devote a little time to revisiting a film franchise that came up repeatedly in our discussions of both these films: THE HUNGER GAMES. Please share your thoughts about THEY SHOOT HORSES, DON'T THEY?, THE LONG WALK, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

It's the fifth Tuesday of September, which means it's time for a special episode. And a dose of nostalgia, this time around, as we proudly announce our first Spoiler Alert episode in four years. If you listened to our September Preview, you know that Mandy, Brian, and Caleb were all very excited for the new Stephen King adaptation, The Long Walk. So the three of them decided to return to discuss that movie now that it's out and they've had a chance to see it. And not just that movie - they also have a great many thoughts on the novel it's based on, as well as the whole business of adapting King to film. Tread lightly if you haven't seen the movie or read the book, but this epic-length conversation - The Long Talk, if you will - covers a lot more ground than just this one story.
Josh is joined by recurring guest Daniel Lima to discuss the newest film from Hunger Games direct Francis Lawrence, "The Long Walk." They discuss how Lawrence made cinematic the Stephen King adaptation set on a single walk along one road, the anti-authoritarian messaging of the film, the performances from Cooper Hoffman, David Jonsson and the rest of the young up-and-coming cast and much more!
--NSFW-- OTCB - 2025's The Long Walk. On The Chopping Block this week is 2025's The Long Walk!! Based on Stephen King's 1979 novel (released under the pseudonym "Richard Bachman"). King actually wrote the book when he was 19, during his freshman year at the University of Maine in 1966-67. Adapting it for the big screen has been in the works since 1988, was it worth the wait?

Losers Jenn Adams, Rachel Reeves, and Ana Marie Cox check into Bates Motel on a rainy night to discuss Robert Bloch's Psycho, the 1959 best-selling novel that Alfred Hitchcock turned iconic the following year for Universal Pictures. Danse Macabre is a recurring feature of The Losers' Club that journeys through all the books that influenced Stephen King. (You know, as he listed in 1981's Danse Macabre. Ahem, hence the name of this series.) In the past, we've catalogued Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House, William Golding's Lord of the Flies, Ray Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes, Peter Straub's Ghost Story, and Jay Anson's The Amityville Horror.

The first screen adaptation of The Running Man saw four different directors fired, the final director come in once filming had begun (while Arnold Schwarzenegger and his lycra were away from the set). Schwarzenegger would lament the final film, and Stephen King - who penned the original novel (as Richard Bachman) - wouldn't be hugely impressed either. But still: there's a reason it's still talked about today. In development for decades at Walt Disney Animation Studios, meanwhile, was an animated feature surrounding videogaming. Yet it took three attempts to get there, and some pretty complex negotiations too... Stories of both are told in this episode... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Mike and Kenny review and spot faith in the second film this year based on a novel by Stephen King, The Long Walk. Stars Cooper Hoffman, David Jonsson, Mark Hamil, Judy Greer and was directed by Francis Lawrence. The Long Walk was the first novel Stephen King wrote although it was not published for many years. Some of the film and faith themes we discuss from The Long Walk are echoed in later novels and series such as The Hunger Games, Squid Games. Faith Spotted: Persons of faith are called to be content with what one has Psalm 46. Greed in acquiring material, or social wealth and reptuation is contrary to the teachings of both testaments of the Bible. Set in the midst of a post apocolyptic America, the story presents 50 or 100 persons (depending on the film or novel) that are willing to put themselves in the gravest danger for a 1% or 2% chance to win a large payout. The countryside and towns are presented as bleak and the people as joyless with litte to no hope in life. Faith allows persons to find meaning, joy and purpose in life and Philippians 4 calls Christians to rejoice in the Lord, always as, regardless of one's situation, the presence of the Lord is always with one and the promises of the Gospel of new life bring joy into one's life, regardless of the challeges or even suffering one is facing. All life has value because all people are children of God. Killing goes agains the commandments of both testaments. Not only are such contests that pit living persons against another not acceptable, participating in, or watching / condoning, them are incompatible with the teachings and life example of Christ. Those in leadership are charged with the responsibilty of the welfare of citizens and others in their cities, states, and nations. They are called to act as shepherds in offering care and protection to all people. The film depicts the games as a way those in control distract and control the population in much the same way as the gladiatorial games during the Roman rule. Such a strategy is not faithful leadership.
Show Notes:This week I got to sit down with writer and 80's horror enthusiast Daniel Boucher. He told me about his love for Stephen King, having grown up in Maine and all, and the one time he ran into King at the movies! He also talked to me about the Smurl family case, which is featured in The Conjuring: The Last Rites and why he thought it was such a compelling case, and so much more!Daniel's Socials: Daniel's website: https://dsbwrites.com/# Who's There?

The hosts delve into the complexities of Drew Larson, a struggling writer who makes a Faustian bargain with a talking rat, exploring themes of ambition, mental health, and the sacrifices we make for our art. Through laughter and insightful analysis, they examine Drew's journey through writer's block, the pressures of creativity, and the moral dilemmas that arise from his choices.
