Stephen King's Misery (1990)

Welcome to Slashers Podcast's month of December, "Slashing through the Snow," where we discuss titles that take place in zero degree weather and mountains of fresh powder (snow, that is, not the other stuff). Considering that guys reside in California and Ade's all the way in Florida, it's not like any of us get to enjoy it unless we literally plan a vaca around it; so this is the next best thing! This week, Jake and Ade talk a Stephen King favorite, Misery, directed by All in the Family's Rob Reiner, and stars Kathy Bates as the terrifying Annie Wilkes; James Caan as Paul Sheldon; and the lovely Lauren Bacall as Marcia Sindell; as well as Richard Farnsworth and Frances Sternhagen as the fun-loving, snarky married couple Buster and Virginia, respectively. If you've lived under a rock, buried in the snow, or literally just born, Misery is about a famous writer who has a car accident in the middle of nowhere and is rescued by Annie, who is a nurse, but we soon learn is severely unhinged. Jake is also able to clarify and expand on a lot of content because he's actually read the novel! Heaven's to Betsy, this is one of our favorite works by Stephen King; let us know which novel adaptation tickles your fancy by commenting or sending us an email! We also talk about some celebrity and political gossip, which of us owns a Dutch oven, and which of Annie's fun little sayings in lieu of profanity is our favorite. Bonus, find out which of us is a funky-faced butt boy/girl! So don't be a cock-a-doody, listen in and let us know your thoughts!!
