She comes off like a 12 year old to me I’m not sure why but I couldn’t even watch this like you said it kinda reminded me of trying to explain something to someone who has no idea what’s going on nor do they care. Have you ever been in the middle of explaining something or in the middle of a conversation when you realize “oh this person doesn’t understand or care” ? I’ve had that happen to me multiple times I have a family friend who’s like that he will talk for hours and as soon as you chime in he just sits there completely silent pretty much not paying attention to you he won’t acknowledge what you’re saying at all. Whenever he does that too me now I just stfu in the middle of whatever I’m saying and walk away then he usually comes chasing after me because he wasn’t done talking he just didn’t want to hear you talk.
I actually have a friend like that who just keeps talking talking and talking and when you try to say something he talks over you. Doesn't listen at all. He might as well just have a conversation with himself. When he calls me on the phone, i just put the phone down for 20 minutes and come back and he his still going. I say "YEAH i agree" and hang up LOL

@@itsa-itsagames I can't recommend audiobooks enough. I used to read a lot of fiction, but stopped about a decade ago, mostly because of time. But a couple of years ago I gave audiobooks a try and it's amazing. Reading used to tire my eyes, but that's obviously not a problem with abooks. Also, I now read (listen) mostly during otherwise wasted time, like driving, cooking, cleaning, even during #2. You'd be surprised how much listening you can get out of these dead periods in the day.

@@ASJC27 agreed. i've loved audiobooks since I was a kid. The first one I fell in love with was The Body from Different Seasons. It was made into the movie Stand By Me, ot's read by the master, Frank Muller, who reads many of King's stories.
I love the story about Stanley Kubrick phoning King at 2 in the morning asking him if he believes in God and King says "yes" and kubrick says "I knew it" and hangs up.
Stephen King actually wrote about this in his introduction to The Stand (uncut version). He uses the word "limiting". As in, once you've seen the movie (take The Shining, for example), you'll read the book and be unable to picture anything but Jack Nicholson as Jack Torrance. In King's words: "it's not necessarily a bad thing, but it is limiting." Solid point there, I think.
@@JDean3780 About Game of Thrones right? He'd probably be saying the opposite if he wrote the joke after the show's lazy pos ending.

When i was 15 my family moved to Maine from the suburbs of NJ a 45 min train ride to NYC it was 79 an exciting time for the city. It was a depressing feeling to be moving to a farm as a teenager. City slicker, flatlander or greenhorn, were common labels, i was definitely out of my element, but it didn't take long to understand how cool it was to live in a rural setting. Cars, bikes, snowmobiles, boats, lakes, ocean, forest, great parties and Good People who know the value of a hard days work and how to live in Harmony with Nature. What's not to like? As a teenager even the harsh winters were fun. As someone who has lived many places Maine is one of the better places to grow up.
No one but King has got the ability to do this. The movies they have made of his work is always so underwhelming!! As soon as a new book is out I read it.
You should read the Dark Tower series in that case... his whole life’s work of books revolves around it and he ends up being central to the story including certain major events in his life.
My great uncle tutored Stephen King at Uni…he said he was a terrible student and bottom of the class. Shows that you should trust your talent and ignore negative noise
The Dark Tower series is one of the best ever written imo. It spans his struggle with addiction to him finally beating his demons. You can literally see the change in his writing style. Legend.

Joe covered a lot of the good reasons books tend to be better than movies, but he missed a **really** important one: When reading, we actually insert ourselves into each character. We're accessing parts of our brain, often in ways we otherwise couldn't, by empathizing with and considering the thoughts and actions of each of these characters. Even though the words are there to guide us, we are the ones creating these characters.

She was elusive. She was today. She was tomorrow. She was the faintest scent of a cactus flower, the flitting shadow of an elf owl. We did not know what to make of her. In our minds we tried to pin her to a cork board like a butterfly, but the pin merely went through and away she flew.” I saw the trailer for Stargirl and I thought they did a great job capturing what star girl felt like when you read it, especially because I was familiar with girl they casted for the role, and her uniqueness and weird charm fit perfectly with the character. Until someone commented the quote above. That’s when I realized, anyone watching the movie without reading the book will definitely not have the same experience. The way an intelligent author is able to make a reader feel with words is something technology cannot always grasp.
The Rocky Horror picture show is classic though if you ever get the chance to go see it at Halloween and throw toast sing along etc. or dress up you should.
The remakes are very, very good. They are shocking close to the book. Even little side stories that happen in the book (start of the second movie) made it in. Its awesome.
Actually movies can capture thoughts there’s ways to do it remember the show the wonder years where the narrator would explain what the kid was thinking.

I remember watching the 90s ‘IT’ as a child on a VHS, literally couldent shower and walk past drains for the rest of my childhood lmao, defo one of the scariest movies ive ever seen as a kid. Shame it dosent really hold up today
@@jdailey01230 Horror movies in general don't hold up. Some new ones are better but none are scary. The Exorcist is still the best horror movie ever made.
@@funtimes8296 Exorcist was way ahead of its time. A few come to mind that still hold up imo: Alien, Silence of the Lambs, The Shining, The Thing, Halloween.
Watching a movie shows you what something looks and sounds like. The descriptive language an author uses tells you how he or she feels about what they're describing. That's *easily* just as important as what's being described, and it's something visuals don't generally capture. A scene narrated by five different perspectives maybe sound very different each time.
Hearts in atlantis is a great read. Very good movie too, probably second behind Shawshank redemption for Stephen King movies, yet the movie still doesn't get close to the book
I don’t think that’s her fault, That’s just because she’s got literally zero interest in the topic of conversation, that tends to happen when you talk to people about things they have no interest in
Desperation and The Regulators always fascinated me as a kid. Desperation written under Stephen King and Regulators under Richard Bachman. I loved how he had the same characters and evil entity in both books but completely different stories. Does anyone know of other authors doing similar stuff with 2 different books?
I was sooo scared of Alice Cooper (from The Black Widow tour) until he came into the store I worked at wearing a fanny pack and no makeup. I think all of our imaginations fill in more than we realize when it comes to Stephen King.
Cujo, in great part, was told from the perspective of the dog. That is virtually impossible to commit to film without coming across like an r-rated Homeward Bound.
Joe Rogan: "The TV IT is not that scary..." Me watching it as a 9 year old kid with my 9 year old friends SECRETLY toghether in the 90s late at night: BRUH
As a huge fan of King's work, "On Writing" is, by far, one of my favorite books by him. It literally changed how I look at both fiction and reality. I particularly loved the audio book, and I mostly hate audio books.
Steve has said several time that he had a good healthy childhood, despite his Dad stepping out of the picture when he was young. But in an interview with his mother she said how Steve witnessed his best friend get hit by a train as a child. The moment was so traumatic for him he black it out, walked home and couldn't remember what happened. His mother pieced it together later on when they found the boys body.
The reason Stephen King books are scarier when you read them than when you watch them in the movie is because he has a way of writing where he uses your own imagination against you. When you watch the movie you're just seeing some other jackasses imagination
When you see a movie of any book, you are seeing the directors and actors interpretation of the story. When you read the book, your own imagination interprets the tale. It's so much better.
I’m from Maine. Still here, born and raised 38 years lol it’s def different life here. We’re lucky to have a lot of access to nature and simplicity’s that people vacation to experience. I will say, our woods and oceans carry an energy that’s magical at times.
Steven King was the master of *naming* his characters. Try doing it: invent a person in your mind, and name that person. It’s really hard to create a believable complete name that doesn’t feel like the author randomly chose them from a phone book (remember those?)
I was originally scared of IT when I was a kid. Watching it in my adulthood, the movie's not scary...but Pennywise definitely freaks me out to this day.
Just to correct Joe some of these amazing movies, the credit also goes to the directors, music directors and make up artists as well. Transporting pages from a book into a good visual production is a very tough process.
Stephen king’s imagination is awesome. He wrote a few books that are almost foreshadowing of real events. The dead zone, 11/22/63, insomnia. The stand could be an even deadlier version of what’s happening occurring now.The political upheaval that’s going on is something right out of a Stephen king book. Really dark, but really fascinating. The man is genius.
There was stuff in IT the book that noone would ever put on film. I listened to it on audible and played in the bed while listening with my eyes closed or doing tasks. Most insane book
Being super creative is a must to write anywhere near King's level, but the guy also read countless books himself. Many authors say that reading is the best school for aspiring writers.
The best Stephen king movie is one of the only ones he didnt write based on a book. It’s rose red and the background, the character, and how god damn scary the house and the things inside of it are insane. I strongly strongly recommend it. It feels like the only Stephen king movie that is as strong as his books and i think that is because theres nothing left out
Joe has literally said “I hate when people say you gotta read the game of thrones series. Why would I read it when I can watch it?!” He’s always contradicting himself
YES! I've tried explaining this to people, and nobody agrees with me. His characterizations are brilliant (probably the best character writer since Dickens). His characters often save what would otherwise be a pretty mundane plot. But his endings are generally awful. And I 100% agree on him as a short story/novella writer. Most of the King books that I go back to for rereads are his short stories.
I don't agree with that especially when he was in his prime, Carrie, Salem's Lot, Pet Sematary, The Dead Zone, Needful Things, Christine and Rage all had great endings.
(Spoiler Alert) The Stand was one of the craziest books I've ever read, also one of the biggest let downs. It was 1,000+ pages of setup all leading up to this giant post apocalyptic supernatural war, then right when everything is about to climax and make sense some psycho rolls up with a nuke that he just happened to find lying around, then blows everyone up...
Just remember its the journey not the destination the stand is not supposed to have a crazy end all be all ending because the book in its self is about a beggining its starts with an end and ends with beggining
@@Bg66648 wow... I actually like you're take on this. A lot. I hadn't thought of it that way. I still feel let down by the ending though...like if you're gonna do so much beautiful setup to a great new world, why blow everyone up in the end?
@@scottmartin7717 Definitely, I got hooked when online gambling became legal in jersey. More states are giving it the green light and eventually it's gonna be a problem for a lot of people.

YES!!! "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption" did something to me, even more so than the movie, which is saying a lot.
👍💯
There's a lot of thought process that goes into creating short stories as well.
My favorite movie 🎬
90s pennywise terrified me for YEARS. Saw it when I was like 12 and it traumatized me.
My mom let me watch it at 5
No clue why
Freaked out to this day. I'm 31 now.
Me too! The 90s version was terrifying!!
TBH, I still am not a huge fan of clowns. I am just uncomfortable around them.
Tim Curry was brilliant and made pennywise a very scary character at that time and I think that's the strongest part of the original TV movie.
The scene when the boy can’t think of the characters name looks across the the marsh and sees his dad is so creepy

Shawshank Redemption is, in my opinion, one of the greatest works of the 20th century.

I’ve yet to see the new “IT” but I still love the old version, to this very day. I personally thought it was amazing, the man truly is a genius.
The remake was good, but I looove the classic mini-series
The remakes are very, very good. They are shocking close to the book. Even little side stories that happen in the book (start of the second movie) made it in. Its awesome.
Agreed man, the classic series got the feeling and atmosphere that was better than the remakes
I highly recommend watching the remakes. They do it justice for sure.

On Writing is legit one of my favorite books of all time. King has a great sense of humor and it shines throughout.
People should read The Stand.
Very suiting for these times
Captain Trips is coming
Read the stand over forty years ago. It was my favorite book back then. Same year I saw Springsteen twice in the same year 1978
When they finally make a movie based off The Long Walk, it will be amazing.
For real
It’s the perfect time for it, too! Especially with the resurgence of using kids for mature story lines. One of my top ten
yes
Yess
The rights have been bought and apparently a screenplay is being written.
Pet Sematary scared the crap out of me when I was a kid...
Zelda was the scary part for me
Sometimes… dead is better.
That was too close to home if you're a parent!
Don’t do it, Stotch!

"I'm not a big reader."
Yeah, we can tell.
The Stand is one of my favorite stories of all time. Went back through it at the beginning of this whole pandemic.
I've read many of his books, his earlier works like The Long Walk are masterpieces. Would love to see him on JRE one day
Loved The Long Walk, in my top seven! The suspense is perfect. You don't want to believe how it's going to go, but you know it will, and it does.
Long Walk was great. A great look into teenage psyche
Great point about books allowing access to characters' thoughts. Movies can't capture that. That's why story books will always be around.
Actually movies can capture thoughts there’s ways to do it remember the show the wonder years where the narrator would explain what the kid was thinking.
Fascinating.
Hey, is Norm gonna be a guest before you reach episode 2,000?

"Apt Pupil" is the perfect example of King's style of slowly drawing you into the antagonist's madness, bit by terrifying bit.
Just watched that on Hulu
The Stand was the first Stephen King book I ever read, I was 14. It was incredible and I became a King fan.
Mine was It. Then my second was The Stand, possibly. Read a bunch of King in my senior year of high school
Stephen king scares me as a person bro
@@xanbra Bullshit. I follow him.
A lot of people from where he’s from are like that.
@@xanbra that is bullshit also. So do you just say things knowing that they lies? Have you looked at what he's posting about because it's definitely not a "cesspool" like you claim.
@@nicolemegyeri5267 that's why I don't follow him. I couldn't care less about rich people and their politics and fake problems, but he is a brilliant writer.
@@nicolemegyeri5267 clearly you don’t follow him on Twitter if you think he’s not batshit crazy, and a raving lunatic. If you do follow him and don’t think that, maybe it’s time to look in the mirror.
I remember watching the 90s ‘IT’ as a child on a VHS, literally couldent shower and walk past drains for the rest of my childhood lmao, defo one of the scariest movies ive ever seen as a kid. Shame it dosent really hold up today
Most 90s movies don’t hold up today. It really makes you wonder how we saw the world so differently back then.

@@jdailey01230 Horror movies in general don't hold up. Some new ones are better but none are scary. The Exorcist is still the best horror movie ever made.
@@funtimes8296 Exorcist was way ahead of its time. A few come to mind that still hold up imo: Alien, Silence of the Lambs, The Shining, The Thing, Halloween.
Watching a movie shows you what something looks and sounds like. The descriptive language an author uses tells you how he or she feels about what they're describing. That's *easily* just as important as what's being described, and it's something visuals don't generally capture. A scene narrated by five different perspectives maybe sound very different each time.
“Hearts in Atlantis” is so phenomenal.
“Eyes of the Dragon” was brilliant.
I had forgotten Eyes of the Dragon. That was a beautiful fucking story.
Eyes of the dragon is an absolute favourate of mine!
Hearts in atlantis is a great read. Very good movie too, probably second behind Shawshank redemption for Stephen King movies, yet the movie still doesn't get close to the book
Currently reading Eyes of the Dragon and it's a page turner.
“He was the It” 😂 that phrasing killed me haha
Haha
This interview would be better if Joe was talking to a wall.
Omg yes. Most obnoxious commentary. "This book was great" "yes, I never read it but it was really big and heavy"
He kinda is.
I don’t think that’s her fault, That’s just because she’s got literally zero interest in the topic of conversation, that tends to happen when you talk to people about things they have no interest in
Salem’s Lot.
Read it as a teenager in a cabin in Maine.
Never forget it.
Wow I bet it practically felt like you were living the novel.
Damn cool
@@craigsovilla7225
My older sister jump-scared me while reading. It nearly ended me.
Have you read it?
@@johnjenkins5854 the made for tv movie scared the shit out of me as a kid lol
@@johnjenkins5854 Not yet! I've been reading a lot of Stephen King here lately though, I'll be reading it here before too long.
Desperation and The Regulators always fascinated me as a kid. Desperation written under Stephen King and Regulators under Richard Bachman. I loved how he had the same characters and evil entity in both books but completely different stories. Does anyone know of other authors doing similar stuff with 2 different books?
Have you seen the video
Elon Musk meets Post Malone
It’s hilarious!! 👽 😂
the regulators is lit
Both are amazing
Tak!
The Stand is my favorite! Gotta read the uncut version.
🤔...... another one I see.
Always wanted to read it but whew it looks overwhelming!
I remember reading nightmares and dreamscapes, really good short stories in there
Joe: "He grew up in Maine and poor." "Anyone would be a sociopath growing up like that."
Ahhh it ain’t that bad, King still lives here.
Lol
(Henry Bowers has joined the chat)
I was sooo scared of Alice Cooper (from The Black Widow tour) until he came into the store I worked at wearing a fanny pack and no makeup. I think all of our imaginations fill in more than we realize when it comes to Stephen King.
Little does Joe know everyone from Maine grows up poor..... uh oh are we fucking crazy? A real Mainer would respond " fuckin right guy"
I’m alive in a generation to hear this podcast
Bro I forgot you existed 😭
Cujo, in great part, was told from the perspective of the dog. That is virtually impossible to commit to film without coming across like an r-rated Homeward Bound.
Haha..I actually didn't know that, interesting...., btw yer name is funny haha!
@@redstaplerguyforlifepastpr5763 Thank you!
@@nuclearpoultryproductions5039 yer welcome, I do remember enjoying the movie on vhs 📼 as a kid , on a movie night with fam haha.
Just finished 11/22/63. Great book and a must read for any true King fan!
The uncut version of the stand is the best book I've ever read in my life. Under the dome is also amazing.
Uncut vs of the stand ,got it I'll make a ✍of it .
@@redstaplerguyforlifepastpr5763 It's a long read but worth every minute! Enjoy!
Omg I remember the animated The Hobbit movie. They showed us it in elementary school in the 80s
I read Hobbit, LOTR, and Silmarillion once a year, and I watch the Extended LOTR trilogy and animated Hobbit when I finish reading.
Joe Rogan: "The TV IT is not that scary..."
Me watching it as a 9 year old kid with my 9 year old friends SECRETLY toghether in the 90s late at night:
BRUH
I still don’t walk in gutters past stormwater drains!
As a huge fan of King's work, "On Writing" is, by far, one of my favorite books by him. It literally changed how I look at both fiction and reality. I particularly loved the audio book, and I mostly hate audio books.
My favorite Richard Bachman story was about the doctor stranded on an island. Sick man. Sick!
Steve has said several time that he had a good healthy childhood, despite his Dad stepping out of the picture when he was young. But in an interview with his mother she said how Steve witnessed his best friend get hit by a train as a child. The moment was so traumatic for him he black it out, walked home and couldn't remember what happened. His mother pieced it together later on when they found the boys body.
The reason Stephen King books are scarier when you read them than when you watch them in the movie is because he has a way of writing where he uses your own imagination against you. When you watch the movie you're just seeing some other jackasses imagination
Exactly.
I love that Joe just said, “the T” as if everyone should know what it is…still some Boston boy in him.
When you see a movie of any book, you are seeing the directors and actors interpretation of the story. When you read the book, your own imagination interprets the tale. It's so much better.
I’m from Maine. Still here, born and raised 38 years lol it’s def different life here. We’re lucky to have a lot of access to nature and simplicity’s that people vacation to experience. I will say, our woods and oceans carry an energy that’s magical at times.
Acadia is beautiful!
Steven King was the master of *naming* his characters. Try doing it: invent a person in your mind, and name that person. It’s really hard to create a believable complete name that doesn’t feel like the author randomly chose them from a phone book (remember those?)
@Computer Science I love it!
He's good at killing them off too. The Stand is full of side charracters who are just there to die. Its great!
I'm glad this got posted ASAP. Riveting!
The Dark Tower is my personal Lord of the Rings
I was originally scared of IT when I was a kid. Watching it in my adulthood, the movie's not scary...but Pennywise definitely freaks me out to this day.
th-cam.com/video/D4bjY68Gmik/w-d-xo.html.m
Watched it in 1999 and had to shit standing up
Did you see this clip of Alex Jones making fun of Joe?! Joe gets pissed! th-cam.com/video/L5qynOa-mKo/w-d-xo.html
Try reading the book. It’s so scary! The movies were meh. Kinda creepy but not scary. The book will have you sleeping with your light on.
@@katet_33 ...think I'll past. Read a scene involving the children that I'd rather not give interest to.
She keeps cutting him off driving me nuts
Get over it?
I love these new outros tbh
Just to correct Joe some of these amazing movies, the credit also goes to the directors, music directors and make up artists as well. Transporting pages from a book into a good visual production is a very tough process.
Stephen king’s imagination is awesome.
He wrote a few books that are almost foreshadowing of real events. The dead zone, 11/22/63, insomnia. The stand could be an even deadlier version of what’s happening occurring now.The political upheaval that’s going on is something right out of a Stephen king book. Really dark, but really fascinating. The man is genius.
Most of that is based on past events. Human history repeats itself.
Did someone time travel and change the past? I'm confused
It and the Stand were epic, but Pet Semetary was just plan terrifying.✌🏽
Joe Should Interview Stephen King.
it would be insane if John Carpenter & Stephen King were in same room in Joe Rogan Broadcast
Joe literally had a bit making fun of people who say "The book was better".
Key word “bit”
Key word "key".
Joe Rogan's guest line up has fallen wayyyyy off. She interrupts way to much
Ms pat was pretty bad, joe fake laughing
I’ve always wondered why he doesn’t have King on his show. I’d watch that episode over and over again. I live in Maine and absolutely love King.
@@mablesfatalfable6021 only to morons. To level-headed right-thinking people, he's paying attention to reality and acting accordingly.
@@mablesfatalfable6021 I hope not. Though, if that’s the case, I’ll try to separate the artist from his work, because I do think he writes well
There was stuff in IT the book that noone would ever put on film. I listened to it on audible and played in the bed while listening with my eyes closed or doing tasks. Most insane book
Being super creative is a must to write anywhere near King's level, but the guy also read countless books himself. Many authors say that reading is the best school for aspiring writers.
You did a whole bit on this joe. It’s never better to not see something? 😂
I came on here just to say the same thing...he had a whole rant on ppl reading the book or watching the movies
I can’t believe Joe got the VP on his show
What's funny is that Stephen King thinks Joe Rogan is an idiot
That's the thing about writers, very perceptive.
I’m sure Rogan would agree with him
@@jdailey01230 he says it all the time too lmao
@@rr-brown6445 Daniel's brain.
What’s funny is that back in 1980 North Bergen new Jersey Joey Diaz farted on an elderly man on cocaine on a bus.
The best Stephen king movie is one of the only ones he didnt write based on a book. It’s rose red and the background, the character, and how god damn scary the house and the things inside of it are insane. I strongly strongly recommend it. It feels like the only Stephen king movie that is as strong as his books and i think that is because theres nothing left out
That flex thought, Joe. LOL made me cackle.
Joe has literally said “I hate when people say you gotta read the game of thrones series. Why would I read it when I can watch it?!” He’s always contradicting himself
True.
TBF I don't really want to read those books, either. Even if they're good. Don't really care.
@@cornbredx i agree, i just don’t flip flop from opinion to seem smart or dumb/more relatable depending on who I’m speaking with
Love King's books. But the guy can't write a decent ending. He seems better suited to short stories.
Agreed!
YES! I've tried explaining this to people, and nobody agrees with me. His characterizations are brilliant (probably the best character writer since Dickens). His characters often save what would otherwise be a pretty mundane plot. But his endings are generally awful.
And I 100% agree on him as a short story/novella writer. Most of the King books that I go back to for rereads are his short stories.
I don't agree with that especially when he was in his prime, Carrie, Salem's Lot, Pet Sematary, The Dead Zone, Needful Things, Christine and Rage all had great endings.
Lol...SK 400 million books sold ; you 10-20 troll comments...lmfao!
My fave so far has been duma key and i was very satisfied with the ending to that novel tbh, awesome book
(Spoiler Alert) The Stand was one of the craziest books I've ever read, also one of the biggest let downs. It was 1,000+ pages of setup all leading up to this giant post apocalyptic supernatural war, then right when everything is about to climax and make sense some psycho rolls up with a nuke that he just happened to find lying around, then blows everyone up...
Last book I tossed in the trash.
@brotherhood lol you didn't like the ending either huh?
Just remember its the journey not the destination the stand is not supposed to have a crazy end all be all ending because the book in its self is about a beggining its starts with an end and ends with beggining
@@Bg66648 wow... I actually like you're take on this. A lot. I hadn't thought of it that way.
I still feel let down by the ending though...like if you're gonna do so much beautiful setup to a great new world, why blow everyone up in the end?
so nice to hear the joe reads almost every stephen king book. big fan
With every episode my hatred for draft kings grows just a little bit larger.
Amen. The post-millennial generations are going to be massive gambling addicts too
@@scottmartin7717 Definitely, I got hooked when online gambling became legal in jersey. More states are giving it the green light and eventually it's gonna be a problem for a lot of people.
@@ZackWilliams_TheProducer glad you kicked it man 🤘🏻. A friend of mine was in rehab for hard drugs a long time ago and he was there with some gambling addicts and he remembers hearing their stories and thinking "damn I'm glad I didn't fuck my life up *that* bad"
Shit is no joke
I read the title and thought Joe had King on and I almost shit my pants
Tim Curry was way better as Pennywise gtfo
Tim Curry makes everything better.
King’s Detective series he released recently is fantastic. As is the Outsider
Is it The Outsider or just Outsider?
@@Highspirekid13 the Outsider on HBO max right now.
@@garryjohnson9328 gotcha I thought you were talking about the Outsiders the one tv show that was on amc I think. I gotta watch that though.
