Talkin' Tower with Chapo Trap House's Matt Christman
When the Losers chatted with Will Menaker of the Chapo Trap House podcast back in June, he encouraged us to also reach out to his co-host Matt Christman, a longtime King fan with an affinity for The Dark Tower. Since we'll be spending the rest of the year revisiting the last three books in the Tower saga, now seemed as good a time as any to bring Matt on for a discussion of King's grand horror-fantasy experiment (among other topics). In a sweeping discussion, Matt makes his case for the series' divisive final volumes, unpacks King the Boomer, and ponders the state of the literary celebrity in 2022. Warning: Tower spoilers abound so proceed with caution, if it do ya fine. Follow us on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | PatreonHosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Highs and Lows of the Stephen King Renaissance
It's been five years since It hit theaters and conquered the box office, becoming the highest grossing horror film of all time and tipping off a new Stephen King renaissance across Hollywood. Today? The scene is dire: Blumhouse's Firestarter failed to ignite, while 'Salem's Lot has completely been vanquished from Warner Bros' schedule. So, what the hell happened? The Losers dial back the clock to that eventful September in 2017 and chart the highs and lows over the last half decade.Follow us on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | PatreonHosted on Acast.
