The Lawnmower Man is a controversial King adaptation and one that King himself had to sue to get his name removed from. The movie shares virtually nothing with the original King short story outside of a spark of telekinesis and a lawnmower. Jeff Fahey stars as Jobe, a simple man who is made smarter thanks to Pierce Brosnan's mad scientist experiments and a VR headset.
The Lawnmower Man himself finally makes an appearance on The Kingcast. Jeff Fahey's career is impressive just by itself, but doubly impressive for us Stephen King nerds when you realize he's something of King royalty, popping up in adaptations of The Institute, Under the Dome, and, yes, The Lawnmower Man. We discuss all three, plus talk about his latest film, The Final Run, out in select theaters and on demand right now.
