The final chapter in our trip down 80s memory lane sees us shacking up with Annie Wilkes , scratching our beards at the loony tunes of The Tommyknockers and wanting to hug an author when we meet that not very nice guy George Stark. Matt also gets a deep insight into the traditions and approaches of being a writer thanks to co hosting with the acclaimed horror author Jamie Stewart ! And ratings - the boys get ready to go all I'm A Celebrity and hand out the stars to the 80s cast of novels.
So that plan to do the 80s in one episode proved to be as ambitious as trying to remember the cast list of "Under The Dome" without a cheat sheet. Just full of meaty goodness - King is having a wild ride in the 80s and we would love you to join us as we get lost in the blizzards of that decade. We talk Thinner, Talisman, It , Skeleton Crew and The Drawing Of The Three..
We leave the 70s behind for a trip through the trip that is the 80s. Experimental and fearless . Some stimulants may have been involved ( Sai King , not us ) .
Join Matt and Jamie as they start to excavate the 80s through the lens of Stephen King and his masterpieces .
This special episode hurls the other half of Kingsize - Matt Robinson - onto the sand as the Survivor Type. Check out his choice of fave King books, album, film , non King book , luxury item and which King tome he throws in the flames. First though, he has to deal with a previous castaway who is claiming squatter's rights.
Join Matt and special guest host Jamie Stewart as they pull a Jake Epping and time travel back to the 70s. They discuss the decade that bought King to the world with the fiery "Carrie " right though to "The Dead Zone". They look at the themes King weaved into his stories; the books with bite ( "Salem's Lot" please rise up ) to the tricky times of "Rage". Unmissable for any King fan.
Join us in this electric interview with Steven Weber - the man behind the voice of the audiobook of "IT". Steven takes us deep into Derry as we learn about how he bought Pennywise and The Losers to life in such a memorable way . We talk to the man who played Jack Torrance in "Stephen King's The Shining" about the leap from the page to the screen . And social media , microwaves , politicians and Pot Noodles all take a star turn in The Big Interview.
The final fling with the silver screen is here . We carry on into the heart of Derry , look at the hits and misses , and get caught up in the Eddies and streams.
Oh yeah , and we announce our Very Special Guest for our IT finale episode ! You will float ....
Matt and Simon lift their eyes from the page and shift it to the screen as we examine the It mini series Pt 1 and Andy Muschietti's "It Chapter One". Do all things float on the screen on do they sink under the sewers? .... Oh, and a letter from Stephen King arrives halfway through recording to put the Thing Of Evil amonst the Pennywise pigeons.
