138: Carrie: The Musical with Joe Iconis
Aug 10, 2022
Show notes
Before Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark burned a mountain of cash, the poster child for high profile Broadway failure was a stage adaptation of Stephen King's Carrie. Ten million dollars down the toilet for a show that was a critical disaster and closed in a week. However there is a vocal contingent that holds that Carrie the Musical is a misunderstood masterpiece so it's about time The Kingcast boys take a hard look at this baffling adaptation.
137: The Raft with Dan Trachtenberg
Aug 03, 2022
Show notes
The topic is The Raft, with a focus on both the short story and its adaptation in Creepshow 2. It's a fun little ditty about some horny college friends who take a swim where they're not supposed to and are picked off by a malevolent and very hungry oil slick in the water.

Jun 22, 2022
Show notes
The time has come. A guest has finally chosen 11/22/63 to talk about on The Kingcast.

130: Carrie with Scott Derrickson
Jun 15, 2022

Carrie was the book that launched Stephen King's literary career and the movie that put Brian DePalma on the map, so it's only fitting that we get an expert cinephile and King fanatic in to break them both down.
