In this episode of Framed & Bound, host Tobias Carroll and guest Lee Matthew Goldberg discuss the 1990 film Misery, an adaptation of Stephen King’s novel of the same name. It’s also the third King adaptation to be covered on this podcast. One of these days, we’ll get to Secret Window.
Discussed in this episode: the greatness of Kathy Bates, Rob Reiner’s suspense chops, the challenges of adapting Stephen King, Tobias’s issues with season one of Castle Rock, Misery and toxic fandom, and when bestselling writers have bizarre subway ads.
As discussed in the episode: reviews of the graphic novel Parasocial and the documentary King on Screen. In two weeks, Constance Squires stops by to discuss another literary adaptation about the life of a writer: Ask the Dust. Our logo is by Mack V.
