With Stephen King\u2019s 1982 collection, DIFFERENT SEASONS, he tried publishing a collection of novellas outside the horror genre. Among the other notable works included, \u201cThe Body\u201d would go on to form the basis for the 80s classic, \u201cStand By Me.\u201d In episode 226, Luke & James discuss a shocking revelation about James\u2019s childhood discovery, delve into their own feelings about returning to their small hometown, weigh the differences in finding friends as adults vs as children, and cover all the backstory from King\u2019s own life that went into this novella.

Join them next week for the film adaptation "Stand By Me," directed by Rob Reiner!
