41: Different Seasons with Wil Wheaton

This wild chat with the Internet's First Boyfriend, Wil Wheaton, ranges from the silly (how does 90 Day Fiancee figure into things?) to the somber (Wil opens up about his abusive childhood and the shocking parallels between himself and Stand By Me's Gordie Lachance). All that and more in this breakdown of the four novellas contained in Stephen King's Different Seasons.

35: The Mangler with DC Pierson

Comedian, author, actor and podcaster DC Pierson joins the boys to take a deep dive into Tobe Hooper's very questionable adaptation of The Mangler. Talk turns Ted Levine's bizarre outfit, the barrage of questionable choices made by the filmmaking team and a clear-eyed deconstruction of Tobe Hooper's filmography. There are lots of swears. Sorry about that.

34: The Shawshank Redemption with Demi Adejuyigbe

Demi Adejuyigbe, a writer on The Good Place and The Late Late Show, has chosen The Shawshank Redemption to tackle. There's much praise heaped upon Frank Darabont's masterpiece as well as some trademark Kingcast detours into weird places, like Tom Cruise's animal magnetism and just why the vast majority of conservative comedy sucks butt.
