The Losers' Club: A Stephen King Podcast

It's St. Patrick's Day! To celebrate, the Losers untie another big ol' Bag of Bones and answer your questions. Questions like "Who's the luckiest (and unluckiest) character in King's Dominion?", "Who wins in a fight? Church or Cuj?", "What's the best St. Patrick's Day read?", "Which King book was the biggest let down?", "What's your favorite King sentence?", and, naturally, "Who in King's Dominion is in your pub crawl?" They also are tasked to cast a Stephen King sitcom. Good lord do they ever. Want to ask them a question on the next Bag of Bones episode?

Will you accept this rose, Constant Listeners? Hope so. The Bachelor himself Zach Shallcross joins the Losers to discuss his journey through Stephen King's catalogue. Together, they discuss how he stumbled into King's Dominion, the books he's read so far, the books he can't wait to read, and how Billy Summers has kept him company on his quest for love. Elsewhere, we also discuss his affinity for the horror genre and whether or not he wants to share a scream or two with his future partner. The Bachelor airs every Monday on ABC at 8 p.m. EST.Follow us on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Patreon

There's a new crop in the cornfields -- it's Kurt Wimmer's Children of the Corn. The Losers head to Nebraska to cover the new re-imagining of the Stephen King short story and get high on the corn oil along the way. Together, they discuss how this franchise has amassed 11 features, why the Corn endures, where they could possibly even take this IP down the road, what an Adapted By credit means (as it relates to Sphere), and the durability of red wigs. This is one wild and crazy episode and chock full of spoilers. So, check it out in theaters this weekend or when it hits Shudder on March 21st. Follow us on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Patreon

The Losers run out of Boston Common as The Pulse consumes the world around them. Luckily, they find a peaceful retreat at Gaiten Academy, where they catch their breath to discuss Stephen King's Cell. Together, they meditate on the reverberations of 9/11 throughout the post-apocalyptic novel, the parallels to H.G. Wells and Richard Matheson, the hilarious digital marketing campaign around its release, and why this often feels like King's version of a Greatest Hits album.Follow us on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Patreon
