The Jaunt with Gary Whitta
Episode 139, Aug 17, 2022, 08:00 AM
Screenwriter Gary Whitta (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, The Book of Eli) joins the Kingcast boys to break down why The Jaunt is so damn terrifying. What makes a good Stephen King adaptation? How would one go about adapting The Jaunt? Is it even possible? Would you take a jaunt if the technology was real? What's it like working with Denzel Washington? All these pressing questions and more are answered in this week's episode.
Also, there might be a little info about the upcoming Kingcast live recording in Maine that we're calling The Banger in Bangor in the outro. Who's to say?
Stephen King's most existentially terrifying short story is under the microscope in today's episode. At nearly 2 hours, this episode is longer than you think.
