Stephen King Archives Vol. 16: The Pop of King: 2007 (Patreon)

Constant Listeners, there is an archives to the Derry Private Library. Thanks to our Losers' Club historian Bryant Burnette, we have unearthed an entire vault of Stephen King material. From unpublished short stories to long-forgotten interviews, dusty manuscripts to alternate versions of your favorite tales, there is much to discuss...

In 2023, we began discussing Stephen King's EW column, The Pop of King, for its 20th anniversary. You'll also recall that we were initially going to discuss the column in one fell swoop as part of The Stephen King Archives as we're wont to do here in this Club.

Bad idea jeans, we realized, and so we opted to spread it out a bit. So, if you're just starting, be sure to revisit the first three volumes which cover all the columns from 2003 to 2006.

In the latest edition, Randall and the Dans travel back to 2007 to discuss celebrity rehab, Harry Potter, Paulie Walnuts, violence in art, phoned-in columns, and how there ain’t ever nothin’ on the goddamned TV.

And, as always, they discuss King’s (and their own) favorites of the year, from movies and music to TV and books.
