The boys finish out Four Past Midnight with the stories The Library Policeman and The Sun Dog! An important announcement in this one right at the top - listen in to hear an update on our Archivist. Stephen aced his Maine exams. Phoenix goes to Lovecraft Country. Juice Newton is appreciated yet again.

It's the triumphant return of the Stephen King Boo! Club Double Feature this week, as the boys take on both The Langoliers and Secret Window, Secret Garden! Stephen gets motivational. Phoenix stays on brand.

As your special bonus this week, Stephen has plumbed the depths of the internet to find a prime, thematic pulp story from nearly a century ago: The Man Who Was Two, by Harold Ward! It's dumb, thematic fun and a lovely little precursor to the age of hard-boiled fiction. Enjoy!

Retire your pseudonyms and sharpen your straight razors, because this week we're reading The Dark Half! This episode marks the beginning of a new segment: The One Minute Musical - yes that's right, we're finally putting our money where our mouth is and doing a bit of musical theater action. Stephen pitches a cinematic multiverse. Phoenix learns what a sparrow is. The boys return to their roots.

Shed your husk and re-form society, because this week we're watching The Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)! Stephen gets real into sound design. Phoenix brings the Stephen King-verse casting heat. We all get very riled up about Man-Dog. Grab a buddy and join us for an extended Which One Do I Shoot!

Set your Roombas to kill mode, because this week the boys finish off The Tommyknockers! We're also pioneering a new segment: The Conspiracy Web (red twine not included). Phoenix gets Byronic. Stephen spins out. Special thanks to our guest Call from Beyond, Ella Crockett, who makes a triumphant return one year later - the prophesy has been fulfilled!

Good golly miss molly, it's time for the most infamous Stephen King book of them all: The Tommyknockers! Phoenix and Stephen wrap their heads around all things extra-terrestrial, debuting a brand-spanking-new segment for a brand-spanking-new season. Stephen talks about dogs (again). Phoenix explains Maine (again). A strange time is had by all (again).

In this pre-Tommyknockers wind up to the next season, Stephen reads the H. P. Lovecraft short story, "The Colour Out of Space"! Note that Phoenix is not present this time around, because he turned gray and crumbled into space dust.

Well folks, the moment has finally arrived: the boys have been doing their dang thing for 365 days, and they're here to celebrate with an absolutely massive Battle of the Books. Which best selling novel will reign supreme? Who is the mysterious library police man? Will Phoenix survive his first-ever off-site recording? Find out as we celebrate Halloween the only way we know how. It's the Stephen King Boo! Club!

The boys round out season one with a trip back to Sidewinder, Colorado in the cozy little home owned by one Annie Wilkes. Yes, it's time for Misery - and the boys are cleaning up their act because as we know, there's no nobility in swearing! Stephen gets psychodelic. Phoenix weaves a tale. Everyone turns out to be dirty birdies.
