153 - Body Shaming a Novel - Christine (1983)

Published: March 15, 2021, 10 a.m.

Welcome back to another Fright School Special Topics: Stephen King aka 2 Queens talking King! This week we are joined by the hilarious Joe Costal! Unfortunately, due to some technical errors, the majority of the first part of our conversation was lost. We count ourselves lucky that it's a full year into the pandemic and this is the first time we've had a technical failure of this kind. You'll have to hear our thoughts on NOMADLAND another time... We met Joe Costal during the recording of the JERSEY GHOULS' MARCH MADNESS series and had to have him come on to share his thoughts on CHRISTINE. We chat about the gothic horror of FRANKENSTEIN as an influence on King, the car culture of America, and Christine as a femme fatale. \n\nFOLLOW US!\nFacebook Twitter Instagram LinkTree\n\nJERSEY GHOULS MARCH MADNESS:\n\nEpisode 1: Episode 129: March Madness 2021!
