The podcast feed… is gonna BREAK!! this week, as we dig into one of Stephen King’s most prophetic novels and one of the best film adaptations, 1983’s THE DEAD ZONE!! Here to help us see into the past and future of this terrifyingly political tale is writer and podcaster Matthew Jackson (The Scares That Shaped Us)!! Along the way, we discuss how the film ended up in the hands of the incredible David Cronenberg (thanks to Debra Hill), consider the right and wrong of Dino De Laurentiis' involvement with various King properties, and we explore how the key to the film lies in tracking Christopher Walken’s hair. All this, plus Americana Noir, the return of F*%khorse, addition by subtraction, the cinema of damaged dongs, a deep examination of Frank Dodd’s bedroom, the risk of unintentional "Mother!" syndrome, and a very cutting edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! Break a few beams with us today!!
