Into The Mr. Universe - 01: Hercules in New York

Hypecast - 3.12.2021 - Featuring Cody Johnston

Some episodes of Kings of King are very different from our typical approach to unearthing the symbolism and meaning of Stephen King’s adaptations. This is one of those episodes. The movie is Frank Darabont’s The Green Mile (1999). It has a star-studded cast, a competent director, and a critically-acclaimed photographer. Thomas Newman writes another amazing score. Michael hates this movie. Let’s all listen to him rip it a new one.

363. Kings of King: The Green Mile

Ah yes, the personification of the Stephen King everyman: Arnold Schwarzenegger. As we’ve learned, King’s protagonists are often nerds, dweebs, heck, even goofballs. So when the producers of the film approached Schwarzenegger with the adaptation of The Running Man, penned by King’s nom de plume, you know King was ecstatic about it. Michael and Abe discuss the outrageous and basic parody that permeates dystopian films as well as fondly remember that time a man named Buzzsaw got chainsawed in the balls.

370. Kings of King: The Running Man

Death to the Coen Brothers Brothers! Long live the Kings of King! The first episode of our new deep-dive podcast. Abe and Michael start their dissection of all things Stephen King with The Shining. We find out that Abe misunderstood the film for a very long time and Michael points out the usefulness of an ax in a hedge maze.

265. Kings of King: The Shining

Abe and Michael discuss the themes and relevancy of 2007's The Mist. In the last episode, Stephen King took issue with the movie version of his tale. In this episode, he seems to approve of it. While we're all confined to the indoors in 2020, we think you'll all find something in this episode that will grab your attention, like so many-tentacled dimensional monsters.

275. Kings of King: The Mist

Alright, cockadoodies! The kings catalog their third entry of their deep dive into the Kingiverse. So get ready to get smothered and sedated like so many Paul Sheldons as they discuss fiddely-foof and its impact on the entire rooty-patootie genre. How does Misery hold up? How does Annie Wilkes stack up in the rare sub-genre of female horror villains? What academic approach does Abe take this time to justify his film degree?

284. Kings of King: Misery

Michael and Abe discuss what's going on with this movie. Why did it flop so hard? Does it deserve the hate? Who said yes to Morgan Freeman's eyebrows? Like so many horrifying ass worms, there's plenty of unpack in this episode.

292. Kings of King: Dreamcatcher

The Kings return to discuss the symbology of the coming of age classic Stand By Me. The simple story is at its best when it builds the atmosphere of that small window between childhood and adolescence. For the best podcast experience, find a dead body to look upon while you listen.
