Episode 44-Apt Pupil

Episode 44-Apt Pupil

In this week's review, I continue our six-week journey through Stephen King's novella collection: Different Seasons, with the story: "Apt Pupil."

Despite the lack of supernatural elements, I argue that this is Stephen King's most horrific story at this point of publication. Join me as I take a deep dive into the squalid mind of Todd Bowden as he discovers that evil takes many shapes, and often times resembles the man who looks back at you from your mirror.

Make sure you stick around next week when I review Bryan Singer's adaptation starring Brad Renfro and Magneto himself, Sir Ian McKellan.

Please note that this episode originally aired on December 20, 2014. This re-release includes a new introduction contextualizing the elements of corrupted youth by a hateful culture through a modern lens.
