339. Kings of King: Thinner (EARLY ACCESS!)
🕑 Added 2020-11-29 14:00:07 +0000 UTC
Thinner has 15% on rotten tomatoes. Is it that bad? Michael and I discuss how this film fails and how it actually succeeds, and they place it on their on-going ranked list of the Stephen King canon. Stephen King once again proves himself as the master of Americana horror, even though this film never resonated with audiences. Also, we talk about our thanksgiving dinners because we didn’t talk to each other last week. Hope you enjoy!

I'm going to pitch Christine, but haven't talked to Michael about it yet

Out of curiosity, have you guys settled on the subject of the next episode yet?

This was the second king book i read after the shining and Boy is it a let down in comparison. Almost didnt read anything else by him after that

My curse-word would be ‘Time’. Those afflicted would feel like any experience worth savoring and enjoying would become increasingly fleeting while the dull mind numbing boring parts gets proportionally longer, until it feels like they’re trapped in a living limbo...

I initially read that as ‘broken ass’ and had myself a chuckle. Although a chronically broken pelvis does sound pretty miserable...

My Thinner curse would be “broke ass.” And the person would just be chronically broke, but not necessarily impoverished. They’d just constantly be embarrassingly broke and indignant about it. Just a low level hum of getting undercut by expenses and not accomplishing anything because of it.
