Fresh off our holiday hiatus we discuss the penultimate episode of Chapelwaite, which is also our penultimate Stephen King consumption episode. While not much happens in the episode – because we are prepping for the finale over here – much happens in our discussion.

Back to Maine and some poor choices as we discuss the 2019 remake of Pet Sematary.

Lemuel and Amity watched the Dead Zone and marvel at a pre “Christopher Walken” Christopher Walken and the passion with which he can say “Sarah.” We also manage to completely forget to have any conversation about the title and what it means – which makes the title so meta (Psst – it’s the part of the future he can’t see – the part that can change).

Lemuel and Amity watched Cujo this week and animal lovers beware - you’re gonna hate this dog. Critical consensus was massively split on this one, which we don’t quite get. Amity only found three problems: the portrayal of advertising, aspects of property value and why two minor characters were both named Roger. But she was scared, and isn’t that the point?

Lemuel and Amity tackle the 1980 classic horror film The Shining and talk casting, directorial abuse, Stephen King and black people, and how a movie can be a great film while failing to have any type of character arc. Lemuel discusses the music of Krzysztof Penderecki and Amity talks about the merits of a croquet mallet over an ax.

Amity and Lemuel watched all three hours of the first miniseries made of Stephen King’s work – ‘Salem’s Lot. One strong woman and one mess, one old vampire and several baby vampires, two strong jawlines and James Mason – it’s a good time and most of it holds up well – minus the track suit lingerie and one of the monster designs. Listen to see what other details we unearth.
