Join Randall Colburn, Dan Caffrey, Lara Unnerstall, and special guest Ana Marie Cox as they stare into the eclipse that is Stephen King's 1992 psychological thriller Dolores Claiborne.

If It Bleeds Pt. 1 May 08, 2020

Show notes

“When an old man dies, a library burns.” It's lonely out here in the Harrigan estate. The sun's dwindling through the windows, the African lilacs are all watered, everything's been cleaned two times over. The only thing left is silence and the echoes of history. Whatever was once inside has been left to the memories of those who lived it. In that sense, we all contain multitudes. Join Losers Randall Colburn, Michael Roffman, Dan Caffrey, and Jenn Adams as they take a call from the grave, busk on the streets of Boston, and abscond to a rustic cabin upstate. Together, they review three out of the four stories within King's new novellas collection If It Bleeds: "Mr. Harrigan's Phone", "The Life of Chuck", and "Rat". Next week, they'll head to Finders Keepers to reunite with Holly, Jerome, and the rest of the gang.

Golden Years Pt. 2 May 01, 2020

Show notes

The Shop... Shit... We're still in The Shop...

Every time, we think we're gonna wake up back in reality. When we were on the road, it was even worse. We'd wake up and there'd be Crews. Waiting. When we were here, I wanted to be there. When we were there, all we could think of was getting back to The Shop. We're here a week now, waiting to get younger, getting softer. Every minute we stay in this room, we get weaker. And every minute Andrews squats in the bush, he gets stronger. Each time we look around, the walls move in a little tighter...

Once again, the Losers are on the lam, painting cars and hitchhiking from town to town with de-aging janitor Harlan Williams. It's the final stretch of Stephen King's Golden Years, and things are getting crazy. There are sleepovers at grave sites, references to Captain Trips, kooky hippies with equally kooky explosions, and a total Poochie ending. Join Losers Randall Colburn, Michael Roffman, and Jenn Adams as they don some tie-dye shirts, fight the good fight, and take out The Shop once and for all.
