110 - In The Tall Grass (2019)
03/02/2023 Duration: 01h34minHill of the King Me! This week we've got an adaptation based on the father/son team up we've all been waiting for. And how does it go? Eh, ok. There is a decent amount to like here even if it does feel like a weird stew of other King stories. Tall grass fields, much like corn fields, are haunted. It kinda feels like this tall grass and the corn kids are competing for the same demographic of "people driving through the midwest and making the foolish mistake of stopping." Like when a Starbucks opens up across the street from a Dunkin Donuts. They should do a grass/corn crossover. Get weekly bonus content on our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/kingmepod

Bonus: Possession (1981)
13/01/2023 Duration: 09minWe celebrate the recent addition of Andrzej Żuławski's POSSESSION to the Shudder library with a lively discussion concerning rocking chair safety and the origins of tentacle porn. Despite being lauded at its debut at Cannes, the film was largely overlooked by the mainstream, with England going as far as adding it to its list of video nasties. Since then it's garnered a reputation among film buffs, including our own Rob Avon. To hear the full episode, visit patreon.com/kingmepod

09/12/2022 Duration: 01h30minThus concludes our longest-ever Townie Profile segment.

King Me Babies: Here There Be Tygers
25/11/2022 Duration: 53minHere there be a King Me Baby about a story written by a Baby King! No, not the Christ Child in his manger, but Stephen King circa high school. At the risk of spoiling this story, let's just say there are scarier things that can happen in a bathroom than finding a bobcat. Our adaptation from 2017 is brief without really sacrificing any plot elements...and still it feels thin. Maybe this says more about the source material than anything. Who can say.
