The Institute brings King back into familiar territory as he focuses on a bunch of kids gifted with telekinetic powers being studied by a shady government organization. There's currently a TV adaptation airing week to week on MGM+ starring today's guest.
Not only is Ben Barnes well-spoken, professional, and ridiculously good-looking, he's also the star of a currently running TV adaptation of Stephen King's The Institute. We talk about his process working on that show, what he took from King's writing, his history with genre (from playing Prince Caspian in the Narnia films to appearances in Westworld and Black Mirror), and share a laugh over cat buttholes. In short, this is just the nerdy conversation you need this week.
