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.

Suitable for readers both Constant and casual. King says check us out.

Edited by Kyle Orozovich. Music by The Most/Charlie Laurence. Produced by Michael Roffman and Randall Colburn.

The Definitive Stephen King Book Ranking: #52-47

The Losers' Club producer and co-host Randall Colburn sits down with author Caroline Bicks to discuss her highly anticipated new book, Monsters in the Archives: My Year of Fear with Stephen King. 

Named the University of Maineʼs inaugural Stephen E. King Chair in Literature, Bicks became the first scholar to be granted exclusive access to King's private archives -- a huge coup and one that certainly turned our heads at the Derry Public Library. 

Together, they discuss the expectations vs the reality of the archives, how King’s work and themes have evolved, bucket list stories to sift through, and much much more. Fans of our Stephen King Archives series in The Barrens will delight in this episode. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com

Caroline Bicks on Her Year of Fear with Stephen King

The Losers revisit their old hometown of Liberty, Missouri to celebrate 35 years of Sometimes They Come Back. Together, Mike, Jenn, and Caffrey discuss the changes from page to (small) screen, the stylish direction of Tommy McLoughlin, the era of TV movies, and whether or not Tim Matheson was knocked aside by Rockin' Rob Lowe.

Sometimes They Come Back Movie Review

The Losers untie another big ol' Bag of Bones and answer your questions. Questions like: "Which Stephen King story should Tim Robinson adapt?"; "Which King book did you read at a impactful time of your life?"; "If you found yourself in a Freaky Friday situation and had to switch bodies with any Stephen King character, who ya picking?"; and more. They also digress on their current reading habits, the possibility of new merch, whether either of us wants to write our own book (we have), and our fandom for David Lynch and The X-Files.
