Description
Founded in 2017, The Losers’ Club® is an award-winning weekly series that chronologically digs through the work of Stephen King with humor, irreverence, and a critical eye. Each episode, the Losers gather together to read between the iconic pages and share the latest in King’s Dominion, whether it’s the author’s oft-controversial tweets, the boldest Hollywood headlines, or his endless forthcoming projects. The series also regularly features special guests. In the past, the Losers have spoken to Mike Flanagan, Thomas Jane, Tananarive Due, Chapo Trap House, Owen Teague, Mick Garris, Mary Lambert, Jerry O’Connell, Wil Wheaton, Joe Bob Briggs, and even King himself.

What about an "escape room" sort of thing but its the green mile. people have to get out of a cell in a determined about of time and if they dont, they go to old sparky which is a chair like old sparky but it just turns reaaally fast until people are hell dizzy.

Hi guys! I just finished reading the Dark Half and I instantly wanted to listen your thoughts on it. I have been listening to the podcast for like a year now and something curious happened to me while reading this book: I found myself doing (mentally) my own little "king's deminion" (im not sure I wrote it well. English is my 2nd language) . There was one thing you missed: there is a part,I dont remember which page, where Thad and Liz are watching tv and one of the shows they mention is called "kojak" like our beloved doggy from the stand ❤
Good morning, losers! I love this episode. I'm a big fan of the book and the original 1963 film. I am eagerly awaiting your discussion of The House Next Door by Anne Rivers Siddons, which I had never heard of before this episode so I read it and I loved it. This podcast is amazing. Thanks for all you do. Keep it up!
Love this podcast. A deep dive in all things King. So great to listen to his work being given the respect it deserves.

Hi guys, My name is Jarred Blancard. I played Henry Bowers in the original "IT" and just wanted to tell you how much I appreciated your analysis of our movie. I currently reside in the UK with my wife and son and attend quite a few conventions here. I've listened to every episode and check daily for more. Keep up the great work. Your devoted fan, Jarred
fuck, was looking forward to this but the podcasters' inane cackling and annoying voices makes this unlistenable
When are you guys gonna cover Rose Madder?!?
have to say I'm loving the deep dives you guys do so far!
shite.
love this podcast! some episodes feel a little drawn out and there are annoying tangents at times, but the hosts are great and put a lot of thought and personality into the episodes. I love finding fellow king fans who want to talk about the books and movies!
