  • Stephen King's The Pop of King EW Column: 2005

    Stephen King's The Pop of King EW Column: 2005
    Mar 6 2026
    In June 2023, The Losers' Club began discussing Stephen King's EW column The Pop of King on their Patreon. What was initially going to be one full-length episode has since become a subsection of The Stephen King Archives that sees the gang dedicating one episode to one full year's worth of columns from King. What started with 2003/2004 -- an episode we unlocked for you last year (look it up) -- has since grown to four more installments, the latest being on 2008. Today, we're dusting off the second of five episodes in the series as a way to shed light on this project. So, in this episode, which was recorded way, way back in 2024, Randall Colburn, Rachel Reeves, Dan Pfleegor, and Justin Gerber dial things back to 2005 and zero in on King's comically acerbic reviews, recommendations, and takedowns to discuss how that era of culture resonates now. Topics include King's prophetic belief that stars don't sell movies, stories do, his bizarre hatred of DVD extras, his warning to the creators of Lost to not fuck up the ending (lol), his complicated thoughts about the work of Bret Easton Ellis, his annoyance with fancypants critics and their disdain of popular fiction, and his favorite (and our favorite) movies, books, and music of 2005. Want more? Become a member of The Barrens -- patreon.com/thebarrens -- to digest all of The Pop of King (so far) and stay tuned for more episodes as time wastes away and makes us all old.

  • The Definitive Stephen King Book Ranking: #66-59

    The Definitive Stephen King Book Ranking: #66-59
    Feb 27 2026
    In January 2026, nearly a decade after hitting record on their first book episode, The Losers' Club completed their Herculean task of covering Stephen King's bibliography. From 1974's Carrie to 2025's Never Flinch, the Losers covered each and every title in King's Dominion with long, expansive book episodes. Now, they're doing what anybody does when they complete a gargantuan catalogue in pop culture: rank them. Behold, The Definitive Stephen King Book Ranking! In the following months, the Club will countdown King's published novels -- specifically, novels (no collections) -- from worst to best. Today, they begin this journey with their picks for 66 to 59. In other words, their least favorite books in his decades-spanning bookshelf. So, come in with an open mind and don't get too disappointed if something you love is something they hate. That's the fun of a ranking, right? Yep, right. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

  • Danse Macabre: I Am Legend (1954)

    Danse Macabre: I Am Legend (1954)
    Feb 21 2026
    Richard Matheson’s I Am Legend is often called the first modern vampire novel. Preceding Salem’s Lot by 21 years, the story follows a would-be scientist named Robert Neville who also happens to be the last man on Earth. Tormented by the memory of his wife’s horrific transformation, not to mention the hordes of vampires trying to break through his heavily fortified home, Neville spends his days systematically euthanizing the undead and searching in vain for a sustainable cure. But a surprising discovery throws his efforts into question while destabilizing his lonely life. In the latest episode of Bloody FM’s The Losers’ Club podcast, co-hosts Jenn Adams, Mac Gerber, Ashley Casseday, and Dan Caffrey revisit this seminal text as they explore the titles mentioned in Stephen King’s Danse Macabre. Is Neville a likable protagonist? Do we understand Matheson’s musings on germs? Why do adaptations always skew towards zombies and why does that ending pack such a punch? They’ll answer these questions and more while discussing Matheson’s larger body of work and incomparable contributions to the horror genre. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

I listened to the podcast episode of Desperation 1 & 2. I understand discussing what you read, but I felt like it turned into a "let's see if we can out talk each other".

Too much talk about nothing....

I've read Stephen King books since I was 10 or 11 years old, starting out with Cycle of the Werewolf. That was just about 30 years ago. Since then, I've read as much as I could get my hands on. And for as popular of an author that Stephen King is, being able to really discuss his works with others isn't something I've gotten to really partake in unless it was discussing film adaptations, which for me, is mostly a pretty mixed bag and I have a hot take or two on a couple adaptations that others just seem to love that once I give my opinion, I pretty much don't even get to discuss King film adaptations all that much either.

What does all of that have to do with this podcast? This podcast is exactly the kind of discussions I love having as part of any fandom and the kind of discussions I wish I could have when it comes to my favorite author. Doesn't matter how well versed someone is in his works or how new they are to the future mental evidence board (aka crazy wall) they're unknowingly beginning to build in their head, it's a group of friends having a great time discussing their honest opinions on the selected work every episode and not being afraid to poke a little fun at one another or even themselves in the process.

Love what you guys put together and am enjoying every bit of it!

I usually listen to this in the car, and sort of like King's books, I love the long episodes.

Fun to listen to, lots of long episodes

This is the perfect podcast to listen to if you love reading Stephen King and don't have enough people to talk to about his books! Have you have found yourself at the end of a four day binge after reading some eight-hundred page behemoth that ends with some bizarre rant about women's lib and a hijacked airplane flown into a building full of people and thought to yourself, "I wonder what someone else thought of that crazy ending."? I've found listening to these fellow nerds (I mean that as a compliment of coarse) prattle on about Kings novels after having gorged on them myself both quite rewarding and helpful for the digestive track that is my mind. I downloaded audible to listen to some audiobooks while on a car drive and have since cancelled it due to the fact that I enjoy reading my books the old fashioned way (even if by kindle sometimes). Despite cancelling my subscription to audible I have not uninstalled it from my phone because of this very podcast. Thanks constant losers.

Great to listen to people dork out on King

I think that their reviews are shallow and full of pop culture stuff that has no relevance in conversations about King's works. Very little depth of discussion as of roughly episode 10 but they seem to enjoy each other's company, so can't give them less than 2 stars.

some of them might have read the book?
