Fun Group With Fun Discussions

I've read Stephen King books since I was 10 or 11 years old, starting out with Cycle of the Werewolf. That was just about 30 years ago. Since then, I've read as much as I could get my hands on. And for as popular of an author that Stephen King is, being able to really discuss his works with others isn't something I've gotten to really partake in unless it was discussing film adaptations, which for me, is mostly a pretty mixed bag and I have a hot take or two on a couple adaptations that others just seem to love that once I give my opinion, I pretty much don't even get to discuss King film adaptations all that much either.

What does all of that have to do with this podcast? This podcast is exactly the kind of discussions I love having as part of any fandom and the kind of discussions I wish I could have when it comes to my favorite author. Doesn't matter how well versed someone is in his works or how new they are to the future mental evidence board (aka crazy wall) they're unknowingly beginning to build in their head, it's a group of friends having a great time discussing their honest opinions on the selected work every episode and not being afraid to poke a little fun at one another or even themselves in the process.

Love what you guys put together and am enjoying every bit of it!

Too much talk about nothing....

I listened to the podcast episode of Desperation 1 & 2. I understand discussing what you read, but I felt like it turned into a "let's see if we can out talk each other".

Great to listen to people dork out on King

This is the perfect podcast to listen to if you love reading Stephen King and don't have enough people to talk to about his books! Have you have found yourself at the end of a four day binge after reading some eight-hundred page behemoth that ends with some bizarre rant about women's lib and a hijacked airplane flown into a building full of people and thought to yourself, "I wonder what someone else thought of that crazy ending."? I've found listening to these fellow nerds (I mean that as a compliment of coarse) prattle on about Kings novels after having gorged on them myself both quite rewarding and helpful for the digestive track that is my mind. I downloaded audible to listen to some audiobooks while on a car drive and have since cancelled it due to the fact that I enjoy reading my books the old fashioned way (even if by kindle sometimes). Despite cancelling my subscription to audible I have not uninstalled it from my phone because of this very podcast. Thanks constant losers.

Fun to listen to, lots of long episodes

I usually listen to this in the car, and sort of like King's books, I love the long episodes.

some of them might have read the book?

I think that their reviews are shallow and full of pop culture stuff that has no relevance in conversations about King's works. Very little depth of discussion as of roughly episode 10 but they seem to enjoy each other's company, so can't give them less than 2 stars.
