Episode 112,   Mar 23, 2022, 08:00 AM

Director Chelsea Stardust (Satanic Panic) joins Vespe and Wampler to break down this lovely and oddly overlooked King title while also sharing stories about traumatic theme park experiences. Other topics include a lengthy discussion on why carnies are so fascinating, they best way to adapt Joyland as a feature film and why The Haunted Mansion rules so hard.

One of the rare Stephen King books that hasn't been adapted, Joyland is a quick, breezy read about a broken-hearted teenager who works at a dilapidated (and haunted) amusement park where he finds new love and even a ghost or two.
