We’re trying something a little different this week, as one of our earliest Dollar Baby short stories gets a feature-length studio adaptation. THE BOOGEYMAN is scheduled to come out on June 2, 2023, and we’re taking some time to talk over the newly released trailer. After the break, we discuss some other King things in various stages of production.

Our first attempt at analyzing a novel is King's second novel, and we find we're actually pretty good at it, although Dan's gotta calm down with all the note tabs. We discuss the good people of Jerusalem's Lot, the pig it's named for, and begin to touch on some of the themes King lays the groundwork for early on.

We celebrate the recent addition of Andrzej Żuławski's POSSESSION to the Shudder library with a lively discussion concerning rocking chair safety and the origins of tentacle porn. Despite being lauded at its debut at Cannes, the film was largely overlooked by the mainstream, with England going as far as adding it to its list of video nasties. Since then it's garnered a reputation among film buffs, including our own Rob Avon.

It weeks like just yesterday, Lou Linklater shot Mr Mercedes in the face.

Our Scooby gang have to figure out who the killer is while helping Lou stay out of prison. Business as usual in Bridgton, Ohio.
