Dylan's Adorable Radio Advert
August 16, 2017 00:32 - 32 seconds - 737 KBWe convinced Lori's 9-year-old son to help us create the most adorable advert known to man. We're using it on a few other podcasts to spread the good word about Castle Rock Radio and our horror magazine, Dark Moon Digest, but we thought y'all would also be interested in hearing such major cuteness. Don't say we didn't warn you. You're gonna say "awww".
13 - The Dark Tower Movie
August 06, 2017 21:32 - 1 hour - 143 MBIt's the movie every Stephen King fan is currently at war about. That's right, folks, today we're talking about The Dark Tower, starring Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey! Is this actually a remake of Last Action Hero? Is McConaughey playing the Man in Black or a very exhausted Gob Bluth from Arrested Development? Why doesn't Roland care about the Dark Tower? All that and more in today's episode. If you dig the show, please consider supporting us on Patreon. Thanks.
12 - The Mist (S1E2 "Withdrawal")
July 30, 2017 23:28 - 31 minutes - 42.9 MBWe had a free afternoon so we decided to watch another episode of Spike TV's The Mist. The most exciting thing about this show is a moose, and it dies immediately. Or does it? Support us on Patreon so we stop regretting our purchase of this show.
11 - The Mist (S1E1 "Pilot")
July 22, 2017 20:38 - 46 minutes - 64.3 MBToday on the show we're talking about the first episode of Spike TV's The Mist. Spoiler alert: it's not very good. Why is the mist so slow? What would you do if bugs kept landing on your face? Just stand in place and scream? Anyway. Here's a thing, we guess. As always, support us on Patreon. Seriously. We bought the whole season pass for this dang show and we fear it might have been a waste of money.
10 - Richard Bachman
July 18, 2017 00:02 - 1 hour - 108 MBIn 1985, Richard Bachman died suddenly of cancer of the pseudonym, a rare form of schizonomia. In this episode, we discuss the man's legacy, and the book nerd who outed his real identity. We make a lot of chicken noises. Also, we read listeners' emails about their gateway King books. If you dig the show, consider supporting us on Patreon.
09 - The Stephen King Quiz Book
July 06, 2017 07:37 - 1 hour - 112 MBWe're doing something a little bit different this week. Join us as we tackle the insanely difficult and stupid questions found in Stephen Spignesi's The Stephen King Quiz Book, published back in 1990. Play along at home and take a shot every time Spignesi asks for a character's name. Actually, wait, don't do that. You would probably die. And if you do make it through the episode alive, maybe consider supporting us over on Patreon.
07 - The Gunslinger (The Dark Tower #1)
June 04, 2017 10:29 - 2 hours - 215 MBHopefully you haven't forgotten the face of your father, because we're talking about The Gunslinger, baby. That's right—we're doing our very first novel episode about the first installment of the Dark Tower series. Vincenzo Bilof (author of The Violators) joins us for our longest episode to date! We talk about a whole lot of stuff, so get comfortable and tune in. And don't forget to support us on Patreon.
06 - Premium Harmony
May 23, 2017 22:54 - 39 minutes - 53.7 MBRemember that time Stephen King read Raymond Carver for the first time and responded by writing a truly awful short story? Yeah, we never forgot, either. That's right, we're talking about "Premium Harmony" from 2015's The Bazaar of Bad Dreams! SK News: Gwendy's Button Box, The Mist, and tour dates for Sleeping Beauties. Support us on Patreon! If we meet our $300 stretch goal, we'll turn this show into a weekly broadcast. Also, don't forget to rate and review!
05 - I Am the Doorway
May 08, 2017 04:44 - 56 minutes - 77.5 MBCould Dorito dust mutate your fingers into tiny eyeballs? Possibly! Let's find out in the latest episode of Castle Rock Radio. We're talking about King's "I Am the Doorway" from 1978's Night Shift with special guest Andrew Hilbert (author of Invasion of the Weirdos). Featured topics include leprosy and how to eat sloppy joes with hook hands. Oh, and we're super disappointed with that Dark Tower trailer, but that won't stop us from actually watching the movie. Probably.
04 - The Moving Finger
April 24, 2017 07:14 - 1 hour - 97.8 MBSpecial guest Betty Rocksteady (author of Like Jagged Teeth) joins us from Canada to discuss Stephen King's "The Moving Finger" from 1993's Nightmares & Dreamscapes.

We end our show with a one-star review of King's It, brought to you by an Amazon reviewer named Jimmy.

SK news includes a NEW Dark Tower release date (thanks a lot, Emoji Movie), the long-awaited It trailer, and a cover reveal for Sleeping Beauties.

Special guest Bob Pastorella (author of Mojo Rising and co-host of the This is Horror podcast) joins Max and Lori in a discussion on King's super gross story "Survivor Type" from 1985's Skeleton Crew. SK News includes poster and release date for The Dark Tower movie, the tragic loss of Bernie Wrightson, and apparently someone's making a documentary about the original It movie. Come for the cannibalism, stay for The Rock puns.
