This week, Jack and Ben revisit Misery, the chilling Stephen King adaptation that redefines horror without a single ghost or ghoul. We discuss Misery as a psychological horror classic, driven by themes of isolation, creative entrapment, and toxic fandom. Kathy Bates’s portrayal of Annie Wilkes anchors the film, blending twisted maternal warmth with terrifying instability - while James Caan's playful nods add something truly special to their dynamic... although apparently that didn't always go down too well on set. Tune in as we explore what makes Misery a timelessly disturbing look at the dark side of fandom and the horrors of feeling truly trapped.
