The Losers' Club: A Stephen King Podcast

Here's a preview of our Patreon exclusive series Talkin’ Hawkins, our limited spinoff podcast that flips King’s Dominion Upside Down to discuss all things Stranger Things. Since April, we've been dedicating one episode per month to each season of the series -- hell, we even unlocked the first episode in the main feed, as you've heard by now -- but this is the big enchilada, brochacos. It's what we've been building towards all along: The Stranger Things 4 episode. Clocking in at around 3.5 hours, this whopper of an episode dissects both volumes of the blockbuster fourth season, covering the kids, the adults, the '80s references, their favorite needle drops, and, naturally, all the connections to Stephen King. There are bits, there are uncouth jokes, but ... there is a whole lotta heart.Get it now by becoming a member of our Patreon, The Barrens (Patreon), by visiting www.patreon.com/thebarrens. You'll also unlock hundreds of hours of bonus content that includes our Stephen King archival series, our Dark Tower Detour series, our spooky Soul’s Midnights, dozens of commentaries on all your favorite Stephen King movies, in-depth interviews, and over 20 locked episodes from the past five years.Follow us onFacebook|Twitter|Instagram|Patreon See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
