The Dead Zone (1983) with author Laura Carney

This week, we kick off Stephen King Big Screen Adaptation Month with one of the writer's stories that doesn't get as much love as some of the others. 1983's The Dead Zone, directed by David Cronenberg, is a psychic thriller that stars the great Christopher Walken and Martin Sheen. Joining us to break it all down is author Laura Carney, whose literary insights really class up the show and give us some directions we might not have otherwise gone down.________________________________STILL TO COME THIS MONTH:10/14: Doctor Sleep10/21: Salem's Lot (2024)10/28: Maximum OverdriveIf you'd like to follow along with what we're doing this month, check out this Letterboxd list: https://boxd.it/zgUKi________________________________Pick up Laura Carney's memoir My Father's List here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1637586388/Visit her online at bylauracarney.com and on Instagram at @myfatherslist.________________________________WE'D LOVE TO CONNECT!Please drop us a line at [email protected], and follow us on social media:Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/moviethrowdown/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/moviethrowdownpod/Threads: https://www.threads.net/@moviethrowdownpodTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@moviethrowdownpodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/moviethrowdownpod/Folllow the show on social media and vote for a winner each week.YOUTUBE: youtube.com/@MovieThrowdownPodINSTAGRAM: instagram.com/moviethrowdownpod/TIKTOK: tiktok.com/@moviethrowdownpodTHREADS: threads.com/@moviethrowdownpodFACEBOOK: facebook.com/moviethrowdownpodLETTERBOXD: letterboxd.com/moviethrowdown/ Hosted on Acast.
