On the newest episode of The Pastel's Podcast, our heroes take on the classic that is Stanley Kubrick's The Shining. Johnny goes in depth on the development of the film. Both discuss the many issues and few wins that plague the movie, including what makes it more Stanley Kubricks than Stephen Kings. Dave uncovers the huge impact the the film has had on pop culture, from cartoons to music and, yes, professional wrestling. The boys feel real good about this one. Hope you enjoy!

In Episode Two, the boys sat through the 1979 Made for TV adaptation of King's Salem's Lot. Johnny has hoot talking about the strange names associated with the production of this obvious television excursion. We hear their opinions on the quality of the film, while going wildly off topic. And Dave scours the wastelands of the internet for any and all pop culture influence(spoiler: no wrestling connections this week). If you're still listening, please enjoy! *Edit: Dave is an idiot. Lloyd Kaufman is the Troma guy, not Larry Cohen. But Larry Cohen did write Uncle Sam and Maniac Cop, so it's close.*

In the first episode of season one, our heroes tackle Brian De Palma's 1976 adaptation of Stephen King's first novel "Carrie." Johnny will go over aspects of the films production. Both Pastel's will give a general review the quality of the film and cover the pieces of the film that, for better or for worse, stuck out to them. And then Dave will attempt to touch on at least some of the vast influences the first film has had on Popular Culture, with special attention on music and, if possible professional wrestling(this may become a trend). We hope you enjoy!

Hello! I'm Dave Pastel, and I am joined by Johnny Pastel. Through this podcast we intend on taking you through film and tv adaptations of Stephen King's works in chronological order. This intro episode explains how each of us got hooked on Stephen King and an outline of how we hope each episode will go. We hope you enjoy, and thanks for listening!
