The Stand is not only a great King book, it’s one of the greatest books ever written. The only word that can describe it is epic. Truly epic. I’ve read just about everything he’s ever written though, despite how insanely prolific he is. Misery, Salem’s Lot, Different Seasons, Pet Cemetery, Firestarter, Thinner, The Shining, Hearts In Atlantis, It, The Green Mile, The Dark Tower series, Christine, The Eyes Of The Dragon, Rose Madder, Delores Claiborne, Gerald’s Game, The Dreamcatchers, Insomnia, on and on and on. All are fantastic. But I have to agree, my absolute favorite is and forever will be Carrie. With The Shining and The Tommyknockers a very close second. The Tommyknockers is one of those hidden gems that not enough people even know about, and doesn’t get talked about nearly enough when discussing his catalogue. Jesus it’s an incredible, highly original, mind eff. kind of novel. If you’ve never read it, I HIGHLY recommend it. It will blow you away, and hold your fascination and dread from start to finish. You can’t sit it down. The day we lose this man will be a huge loss for literature.
I have the it and shining novel for years and not read one page yet 🤣 im currently finishing angelas ashes i may start shining and order carrie after reading this comment 💙
Tommyknockers and 1408 were the only stories by SK that I was reading at night and I had to say nope I’m done. Nope. I’ll finish it during the day. That’s how scared I was.
@@BarryaLLen-ik8bq no one hardly mentions that part of the book. The boys all take turns losing their virginity with Beverley, and this is the real ritual that binds them stronger and helps them get home. Honestly the most disturbing thing I've read in a King book, and I've read them ALL. I love Stephen King, I have all his books, and I've read them all several times, bit sheesh, he musta been on some amount of drugs to write that shit down.
The Shinning takes place in Colorado. "It" take place in various other states. "The Stand" takes place all across the country. "The Dark Tower series takes place in different dimensions, universes, and timelines. Not "literally" everything. Just most things.
I still hope The Stand will get remade for the big screen one day. The contemporary resonance in the era of you-know-who should make it a no brainer. I can see it now, a trilogy of a fantasy dramas each with a different theme. The book even has each movie's cliffhanger ending built in. The Stand pt. 1: Captain Trips, ends with all of the main characters on the highways to Colorado and Nevada, while He walks. He doesn't appear in the movie, except as a shadow in the dreams, a silhouette. The Stand pt.2: On the Border, ends with the bomb The Stand pt. 3: The Stand. Ben Affleck came close to getting it off the ground before he foolishly took the Batman gig. I actually think Shyamalan would be a good fit, if someone else wrote the screenplay.
@@BaileysMariner I worked with an ex American military guy years ago in Holland who had some amazing freaky stories.

Cujo is easily my favorite King novel/movie I grew up with a St. Bernard, that dog was a little girls best friend. When she would go with us on camping trips she would walk with me to the bathroom, go in the building and see if it was empty then go and sit in front of the door so no one could come in until I came out.

Greatest animal I’ve ever called my pet, softball sized paws and everything.
Stephen King has done great work, Joe if you read IT that is impressive. The book is 1138 pages on an original copy. It is one of those novels that you have to experience for yourself, cause it's so much more than you could imagine. "My name is Mr. Bob Grey, also known as Pennywise the dancing clown!"
cyber6sapien I remember reading that back in middle school! Not as an assignment, but because I was getting really into great movies and I wanted to check out the book first.😁👍
I'm currently reading "The Outsider" and it's like a roller coaster. I can feel what Ralph Anderson is going through. I can see the doubt in his mind. I feel Stephen wrote one thing, but meant something else. When Ralph thinks about the evidence proving Terry to be the murderer, there seems to be a doubtful tone. If I remember correctly, there are points where he repeats phrases in his mind as if to convince himself. King throws a curve ball with Terry dying early. This changes the reader's focus from one character to another. Thus, leaving doubt in the reader's mind. I just finished page 271, and I have no idea where this book will end up.
My middle school was right across the street from the projects, I had to go through the back gate and all around the school because you never knew I'd you were next to get picked on. Not by kids but grown black men bullying kids.
@clout demon if you think I'm racist now against blacks you're wrong. I do have to admit o grew up feeling hatred towards blacks especially during high school. Growing up in South Central los Angeles is tough with race wars, you get sucked in even if you don't want to. As I grew up that went away I realized there's good and bad people in every race. No more hate or racism from my part.
Yeah where I grew up it was VERY mixed race (upwards of 30 different nationalities) and everyone bullied everyone, shit would even go down within groups. No one was ever completely safe. Race is irrelevant, economic status plays a much larger role.
@Ната́ша don't know where you're from, but in l.a Latinos don't get a pass with the n word. Even Latinos will come at you for "trying to be black" saying the n word
The first part of the mini series was great. Tim Curry was a good Pennywise and I thought all of the kid actors did a good job. Part 2 where the characters were adults was kind of cheesy though.
His character on SOA was called "Bachman," which is the pseudonym under which he published _Rage, Roadwork, The Long Walk, The Running Man, Thinner, The Regulators_ and _Blaze._ Had it not been for the bookstore worker who grew suspicious, did some digging and then outed King as Richard Bachman, both _Misery_ and _The Dark Half_ would've been published under the pseudonym as well.
I thought those IT movies from god knows when were TV specials, not really cinema movies like the new one. Might be wrong, but those shits were terrifying to everyone i knew back in the day. They might seem stupid compared to now.
@@alexalvarado144 Movies are usually better when you are high. The production was bad and the acting was bad in the original. I think the new one was bad as well. Never seen a good King movie. Just my opinion.
@@TheAmazingMrMcFlyy Nobody forgets it. It is just not factual. Sorry dudeman you are not remembering correctly or just saying fake shit. There was an original miniseries. It may have been at theatres and the new one. There isn't a third version. I would love to be proven wrong however there is zero evidence to show that is true.
@EastNewYorkStyle Records Yes sir. I am so sorry I didn't use a genial tone in my comment. I am so glad the internet police are here to make sure there isn't Cuntyness.
- Agreed. Case in point, that one scene in the book "Pet Sematary", where the father is walking with the body of his dead son into the forbidden place beyond the pile of dead fallen trees and the supernatural things he encounters out there. Not sure about this new movie version of that novel, but I seriously doubt if Hollywood could ever do that part justice.
Good point about there are certain things you should only imagine. That was the problem with promotional videos for pop songs at first was that they competed with the films we had spontaneously playing in our heads.
I was a runt in school. I would never run from bullies. I got beat way worse at home than any bully could hope to do to me. So no fear, but lots of suspensions.
Way more than that. He pays a human being to set the audio and visual up whilst googling the topics discussed for fact checking and visual aide without being asked and with accuracy unmatched by AI. That's expensive
God I honestly don't know how people walk around being afraid, even as a kid in school... But I guess I was just raised tougher. Thank God I had the father I had. "Love ya" LHD 1947-2022
Yeah I don't agree with Joe, you gotta look at the movie today from the perspective that it was made in the early 90s and made for TV, everyone forgets it was a two part TV movie. Not to mention the killer clown thing hadn't been done to death and for me and many others that were young at the time it was a turning point in fear because you realized that those goofy silly clowns you'd see at the circus or amusement parks could turn into some fanged monster and come out of the sink and eat you
Joe, had you seen the original way back in the day, I think you would have appreciated it more. Plus it sounds like you only started watching it from the second half when the kids are adults. Startfrom the beginning it’s actually quite messed up. Plus look at Tim Curry’s make up, it’s horrifying. The new rendition of Pennywise is far too CGI for my liking. I will add that I thought the cast that played the Losers club were fabulous. They handled all of those dark matters extremely well. In both films
Gia Smith To be fair, there is a good amount of the losers as adults in the first half of the miniseries, in that it shows all of Mikes phone calls. Glad to know someone else digs the miniseries. 🤘😀

I watched it when it came out. It’s laughable now. It would only scare kids. TV movies almost always sucked.
The way I got into IT was: 2017 movie -> book -> miniseries And tbh even though I wanted to finish the miniseries version so that I could see how the second half of the story looks on television, I just couldn't get into it. I wasn't a fan of some of their actor choices, but also the acting felt so fake. Call me spoiled off the future but I loved the 2017 version. Can't wait for the sequel; really hoping it's good.
Read somewhere that StephenKing writes only ten pages a day.. kinda like how he set a lot of his work in the 50's, and in the same place. I think it's Maine.. Shawshank, Stand by me etc..
Most of my bullying happened in middle school, mainly 6th grade. Everyone left me alone after freshman year but it seems like bullying is getting even worse today with all of the social media and the trolls
Some of the best horror movies are the ones where they don't show you the monster. If it is done correctly, you can imagine horrible looking things that are more Scarry than anything they can show you!
I think if you were 8 like I was when the abc miniseries IT debuted, you would think it was pretty horrifying. I was also 7 when Pet Semetary came out, again, was deeply affected, lol. But, the books ARE always better... 🤘
I have seen something like that .... at a parking garage in Boston that I go to there was a man who (originally from China) who had a mole that was growing super long hairs out of it. A friend who was with me told me that in Ch8na they believe it's bad luck to cut hair that's coming out of a skin tag or a mole
That's what makes Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of The Shinning such a great film, because they leave so much up to the imagination and leave you with so many unanswered questions just like the book. That has to be hands down the greatest film adaptation of King's novels.
Stanley Kubrick fucked with the story too much for my liking, just for his own ego. He reduced Shelley Duvall to a shivering wreck for the baseball bat scene, and left her emotionally scarred. Hes a fuckwit whose too far up his own arse. I prefer the mini series which is true to the book, and I actually had to sleep with a light on while reading the novel, as it's so much better, you hear what's happening in Jack's head. Yes it was a good film, and i still like it, but why do people have to change some of the biggest plot parts when filming? The ending was nothing like the book.
@@Kazza_8240 He fucked with the story because it wasn't his intention to make a movie that was loyal to the book in the first place, he took the plot so it would fit the story he wanted to tell. Movies don't need to be copy pasted versions of the book.
Christine is an all time fav of mine such a good book. I watched the movie first loved it and than found the book in my dad's collection and read it twice
Best short story from King, in my opinion, was “the long walk”. Read it! Of his novels... geez, I dunno. Misery. Delores Claiborne. The Shining. The Gunslinger (first 2). Can’t pick a fave, just too many.

@@Arj217ankar
Yup.
Most "horror" today is gore-porn and jump scares.
del Toro got it right
@@Arj217ankar
And perhaps he'd love the music of Opeth- do you?
Lovecraft is amazing but he’s way overrated now
Stephen King has done great work, Joe if you read IT that is impressive. The book is 1138 pages on an original copy. It is one of those novels that you have to experience for yourself, cause it's so much more than you could imagine.
"My name is Mr. Bob Grey, also known as Pennywise the dancing clown!"
zzzhuh read it when I was a kid... soo much better than both movies
"It" is my favorite book of all time, followed closely by Mario Puzo's "The Godfather".
zzzhuh that’s how it is most of the times. Pretty rare a movie lives up to the book.
I love diving back in the IT novel...one of my all time favorites.👍
cyber6sapien I remember reading that back in middle school! Not as an assignment, but because I was getting really into great movies and I wanted to check out the book first.😁👍
The old saying: “Don’t let your imagination run wild”
Stephen King: “Hold my book”
I think letting your imagination run wild is the most important thing a human can do from time to time but only if it leads to good things!
I'm currently reading "The Outsider" and it's like a roller coaster. I can feel what Ralph Anderson is going through. I can see the doubt in his mind. I feel Stephen wrote one thing, but meant something else. When Ralph thinks about the evidence proving Terry to be the murderer, there seems to be a doubtful tone. If I remember correctly, there are points where he repeats phrases in his mind as if to convince himself. King throws a curve ball with Terry dying early. This changes the reader's focus from one character to another. Thus, leaving doubt in the reader's mind. I just finished page 271, and I have no idea where this book will end up.
He says the first IT was “hilariously bad” ?!?! That shit is terrifying. Way scarier than these recent ones
I agree. Tim Curry was a scary as hell Pennywise the clown.
@@The_Kirk_Lazarus if you make a kid from any generation to watch it alone in the night. He would shit his pants and get traumatised for life.
He bought the van that hit him and fixed it up then drove it around. Absolute mad lad.
Not true. He had it destroyed because he didn't want it to become a piece of macabre memorabilia.
@@traceyrice4978 either of these options still seem kind of badass. lol.
My middle school was right across the street from the projects, I had to go through the back gate and all around the school because you never knew I'd you were next to get picked on. Not by kids but grown black men bullying kids.
@clout demon if you think I'm racist now against blacks you're wrong. I do have to admit o grew up feeling hatred towards blacks especially during high school. Growing up in South Central los Angeles is tough with race wars, you get sucked in even if you don't want to. As I grew up that went away I realized there's good and bad people in every race. No more hate or racism from my part.
@clout demon typical hood behaviour.
Don’t say that!!!! It’s racist . You’ll be fired & kicked out ya home
Yeah where I grew up it was VERY mixed race (upwards of 30 different nationalities) and everyone bullied everyone, shit would even go down within groups. No one was ever completely safe.
Race is irrelevant, economic status plays a much larger role.
@Ната́ша don't know where you're from, but in l.a Latinos don't get a pass with the n word. Even Latinos will come at you for "trying to be black" saying the n word
90s pennywise was scarier for me. But 2017 movie is a way better movie imo.
The first part of the mini series was great. Tim Curry was a good Pennywise and I thought all of the kid actors did a good job. Part 2 where the characters were adults was kind of cheesy though.
@@adriennebell1359 Part 2 was also cheesy for the new one. the children half was good and the adult half is.. not so good.
He also wrote Shawshank Redemption and that turned out to be one of the best movies ever made.
A conversation about Stephen King and Joey still manages to be hilarious 😂
I got into TKD as a kid for the same reason. It has served me well.
I want Joey to read me the history of blue cheese while I try and fall asleep
I think Joe Rogan is a pretty cool guy. He martial arts and doesn't afraid of anything.
volvoplz was really cool until he sold out.
Doesn’t afraid of anything indeed
He also weed a lot. And he deer meat a lot too.
Hannu Salmela God, I cracked up at your reply!
W S cracked up, you did
love that SOA refrence Joey
1:15 idk why but the way Joey says “picketed” just makes me lmao 🤣
0:37 joey diaz is a fricking legend
His character on SOA was called "Bachman," which is the pseudonym under which he published _Rage, Roadwork, The Long Walk, The Running Man, Thinner, The Regulators_ and _Blaze._ Had it not been for the bookstore worker who grew suspicious, did some digging and then outed King as Richard Bachman, both _Misery_ and _The Dark Half_ would've been published under the pseudonym as well.
I thought those IT movies from god knows when were TV specials, not really cinema movies like the new one. Might be wrong, but those shits were terrifying to everyone i knew back in the day. They might seem stupid compared to now.
He probably thought they were bad, cause he was "High..."
There was a For TV special and an original movie that played in theaters. I’m surprised no one knows this, that movie was a classic
@@alexalvarado144 Movies are usually better when you are high. The production was bad and the acting was bad in the original. I think the new one was bad as well. Never seen a good King movie. Just my opinion.
@@TheAmazingMrMcFlyy Nobody forgets it. It is just not factual. Sorry dudeman you are not remembering correctly or just saying fake shit. There was an original miniseries. It may have been at theatres and the new one. There isn't a third version. I would love to be proven wrong however there is zero evidence to show that is true.
@EastNewYorkStyle Records Yes sir. I am so sorry I didn't use a genial tone in my comment. I am so glad the internet police are here to make sure there isn't Cuntyness.
Carrie and Christin are my favorites
I'm never moving to Maine. Way too much weird shit going on up there.
Oh come on Joe. Tim Curry's Pennywise destroys Bill Skarsgard's Pennywise. No contest.
Claude Ducimo agreed. The new movie was better, but Tim Curry was way better as Pennywise.
You’re stupid
Lol tim currys pennywise is basically a 45 year old hobo that dropped out of clown college
Joe couldn't tell talent if it was shitting in his face.
You’re blinded by nostalgia my guy.
Joey sounds like he's choking on his tongue constantly
Thats what 45 years of coke valium and weed do to you
Books are always better because you imagination does it better. I feel sorry for people that don't read. They are missing out.
- Agreed. Case in point, that one scene in the book "Pet Sematary", where the father is walking with the body of his dead son into the forbidden place beyond the pile of dead fallen trees and the supernatural things he encounters out there. Not sure about this new movie version of that novel, but I seriously doubt if Hollywood could ever do that part justice.
You convinced me to read more books
Floyd Mayweather
@MrTruboy lemme guess transformers are your favorite films of all time? no ? okay the avengers than? fucking small brains.
Cujo was a better book too.
The fact that you got the perspective of the dog changing in that book and its thoughts and feelings was extremely sad.
Good point about there are certain things you should only imagine. That was the problem with promotional videos for pop songs at first was that they competed with the films we had spontaneously playing in our heads.
I love the running man too
I was a runt in school. I would never run from bullies. I got beat way worse at home than any bully could hope to do to me. So no fear, but lots of suspensions.
It's ok now, you made it through, you are stronger than you know : )
I just realized that Jamie's like joe bought his own real siri.
Way more than that. He pays a human being to set the audio and visual up whilst googling the topics discussed for fact checking and visual aide without being asked and with accuracy unmatched by AI. That's expensive
The 80s IT was waaaaaay better than the new one. Psychological fear over jump scares always!
90's dude
The 90's IT wasn't scary at all. It wasn't even thrilling.
Joseph Liscano Yeah no. All of the likes you got are people simply trying to be cool liking classics.
Yup Rogan sounded stupid or selling advertising..original way bettet
Don’t let your nostalgia get the best of you it was good for its time but nowadays it’s underwhelming
God I honestly don't know how people walk around being afraid, even as a kid in school...
But I guess I was just raised tougher. Thank God I had the father I had. "Love ya"
LHD 1947-2022
Cujo was my first King read; I was 10 y/o. It will always be a fave for me.
Salem's Lot was a game changer in horror
I liked the original It with John boy and Tim Curry. It was classic 90's vibes. It was goofy but was creepy too.
Yeah I don't agree with Joe, you gotta look at the movie today from the perspective that it was made in the early 90s and made for TV, everyone forgets it was a two part TV movie. Not to mention the killer clown thing hadn't been done to death and for me and many others that were young at the time it was a turning point in fear because you realized that those goofy silly clowns you'd see at the circus or amusement parks could turn into some fanged monster and come out of the sink and eat you
Rogan seems like he would be the bully in HS not the one being bullied.
Here for Joey . Love you bro
"Needful Things" if by far the best Stephen King book.
Joe, had you seen the original way back in the day, I think you would have appreciated it more. Plus it sounds like you only started watching it from the second half when the kids are adults. Startfrom the beginning it’s actually quite messed up. Plus look at Tim Curry’s make up, it’s horrifying. The new rendition of Pennywise is far too CGI for my liking.
I will add that I thought the cast that played the Losers club were fabulous. They handled all of those dark matters extremely well. In both films
Gia Smith To be fair, there is a good amount of the losers as adults in the first half of the miniseries, in that it shows all of Mikes phone calls. Glad to know someone else digs the miniseries. 🤘😀
I watched it when it came out. It’s laughable now. It would only scare kids. TV movies almost always sucked.
The way I got into IT was: 2017 movie -> book -> miniseries
And tbh even though I wanted to finish the miniseries version so that I could see how the second half of the story looks on television, I just couldn't get into it. I wasn't a fan of some of their actor choices, but also the acting felt so fake.
Call me spoiled off the future but I loved the 2017 version. Can't wait for the sequel; really hoping it's good.
Lol totally agree, Tim Curry's portrayal of Pennywise is masterful and very convincingly scary/disturbing with a hint of humor
Actually Pennywise makeup isn’t CGI at all, even the eye thing he does it the actor, its speeded up.
Joey breathing out of his mouth sounds like a phone ringing on vibrate
Read somewhere that StephenKing writes only ten pages a day.. kinda like how he set a lot of his work in the 50's, and in the same place. I think it's Maine.. Shawshank, Stand by me etc..
only? 10 pages is more than most writers do. If George RR Martin wrote that much, we'd have the damn GoT books finished already
Robert Machulla yeah that’s a lot of writing
I think he aims for 6 a day. If I remember correctly.
Ten pages a day is fucking huge. In two months you would have a six hundred page book.
He doesn’t go by pages. He goes by words a day. 2k I believe. Personally I write 3k and ten pages seems like an impossibility..
Most of my bullying happened in middle school, mainly 6th grade. Everyone left me alone after freshman year but it seems like bullying is getting even worse today with all of the social media and the trolls
The Dark Tower is what got me into King.
Amazing series of books
I love Stephen king. The shining, pet semetery and misery are some of my favorite stories of his. One of the reasons why I love horror so much.
Some of the best horror movies are the ones where they don't show you the monster. If it is done correctly, you can imagine horrible looking things that are more Scarry than anything they can show you!
Agreed, less is more. Paranormal activity with the small door openings, creaks etc was scary AF.. and then they ballsed it with showing too much.
I think if you were 8 like I was when the abc miniseries IT debuted, you would think it was pretty horrifying. I was also 7 when Pet Semetary came out, again, was deeply affected, lol. But, the books ARE always better... 🤘
you don`t want to go down that road
Turk Aya uh... A good story... A good walk... I’ll take ya up tha sometime... Tell ya the story too... 🤣🤘

The Gunslinger series of books was next level !!
I highly recommend the audiobook for Carrie, it's read by Sissy Spacek.
1:37 So in my brain I interpret Joe to mean the dudes mole had a ponytail.
I just laughed so incredibly hard
Haha! I was thinking the same thing. LOL!
I have seen something like that .... at a parking garage in Boston that I go to there was a man who (originally from China) who had a mole that was growing super long hairs out of it. A friend who was with me told me that in Ch8na they believe it's bad luck to cut hair that's coming out of a skin tag or a mole
Get King on the podcast, god dammit!
That's what makes Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of The Shinning such a great film, because they leave so much up to the imagination and leave you with so many unanswered questions just like the book. That has to be hands down the greatest film adaptation of King's novels.
Stanley Kubrick fucked with the story too much for my liking, just for his own ego. He reduced Shelley Duvall to a shivering wreck for the baseball bat scene, and left her emotionally scarred. Hes a fuckwit whose too far up his own arse. I prefer the mini series which is true to the book, and I actually had to sleep with a light on while reading the novel, as it's so much better, you hear what's happening in Jack's head. Yes it was a good film, and i still like it, but why do people have to change some of the biggest plot parts when filming? The ending was nothing like the book.
@@Kazza_8240 He fucked with the story because it wasn't his intention to make a movie that was loyal to the book in the first place, he took the plot so it would fit the story he wanted to tell. Movies don't need to be copy pasted versions of the book.
The best adaptation was Shawshank Redemption!
Christine is an all time fav of mine such a good book. I watched the movie first loved it and than found the book in my dad's collection and read it twice
First book I ever read for “fun” as a teenager was the book “Desperation”. Great author.
We need SK on the podcast, idc how far left he is
Joe, read King's Dark Tower series. Endless conversations
Why does nobody acknowledge the fact that SK and Bob Lazar look identical?... and both of them have some pretty interesting stories to tell 🤡👽
Joe had a good point about books at the end. I agree with that
Diaz's wheezing made me feel wheezy.

“Wuz abowt a girl and her period or some shit. Great book.” - Joey Diaz
Cujo is a great book.
Best short story from King, in my opinion, was “the long walk”. Read it! Of his novels... geez, I dunno. Misery. Delores Claiborne. The Shining. The Gunslinger (first 2). Can’t pick a fave, just too many.
When you read books Something in your mind says "This could be true!". You know your not actually seeing it when your watching a movie.
