Joyland takes place in the early 1970s and follows a heartbroken high school graduate as he goes to do some summer work at a local pierside amusement park. He quickly becomes intrigued by the story of a ghostly young woman who supposedly haunts the horror ride and starts pulling at a thread that could potentially solve her murder.
Peter Hall and Paul Gandersman, the writer/directors behind the upcoming genre flick MAN FINDS TAPE, join your intrepid Kingcast hosts to discuss one of Stephen King's underappreciated and as yet unadapted books: Joyland.
Conversation jumps between their film, their deep cut Stephen King origin stories, some Dark Tower nerdiness, and why Joyland plays so well into King's strengths as an author. We even fancast our adaptation and do a damn good job at it, if we don't say so ourselves.
