I am very happy to announce The Kingcast, a project I’ve been cooking up with @ScottWamplerBMD for many months. We’re big @StephenKing dorks and so, it seems, are many filmmaker friends. Make sure to follow @Kingcast19 to be the first to know all the fun stuff we have in store!

I did a thing. Incredible friends, wonderful location, and a beautiful bride. I’m a lucky guy.

I’m quite fond of the new Gore Verbinski flick and the good folks @TheFilmStage let me put some thoughts down about it. No spoilers, but even if I did spoil this movie you wouldn’t believe half the shit I’d tell you.
Gore Verbinski finally returns with 'Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die,' a madcap adventure that feels so refreshing in this moment where most of our movie options seem dictated by a faceless board of execs. Read @EricVespe's review from the @fantasticfest world premiere:

New Gore Verbinski alert! Saw Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die and it’s an incredibly entertaining satire about time travel, AI, pie, and the sad state of modern tech addiction. Sam Rockwell leads a great cast through a straight up bonkers save-the-world adventure.

It should be noted that Scott probably walked out of more Fantastic Fest movies than he finished, but I know he really fit in with the punk vibe of the early, dangerously chaotic years.

Fantastic Fest is celebrating its 20th year and their fest sizzle reel that plays before each movie has clips from the last two decades of the fest. Wampler appears for a flash from our intro for Pet Sematary: Bloodlines, I think. Very cool of the fest to include Pop-Pop.

First movie of Fantastic Fest 2025: Primate. What if Koko instead of Cujo? Rabid chimp terrorizes family in a fancy Hawaiian mountaintop house. Unapologetically gory studio horror flick that will for sure get crowds squirming in their seats when it comes out in January.

Wrapped up another screening for The Long Walk and got to experience another audience emotionally destroyed! Thanks to @Lionsgate and @FANGORIA for setting up the screening and @RyanScottWrites for helping with the post-screening discussion!

Hope everybody had a good time at the screening! As usual JT was a great interview. Thanks to everybody for coming out and filling the theater and to @LionsgateHorror for inviting The Kingcast along for the ride.

I’m happy to report that Caught Stealing is great and worth being forced to watch the trailer before every fucking movie this year. Austin Butler continues to prove that he’s a star and Aronofsky is finally letting himself have some fun as a storyteller.

Very fun episode. Might have been the accent, but I think this Ben Barnes fella is pretty charming. Enjoy!
Brand new ep with the star of The Institute, Prince Caspian himself, Mr. Ben Barnes. He was a great chat. We laugh, we dig deep into King's text, we reference buttholes. It's the full Kingcast experience. Listen here or wherever you get your podcasts: https://t.co/64Q37vA1Hy

Apparently legions of Austin Butler stans think I don’t know why Austin Butler is at a Q&A for a movie he stars in while sitting under a 20 foot tall image of himself. Maybe I wasn’t clear enough in making the Stephen King connection joke, but come on, y’all.
At a screening of Caught Stealing where The Man in Black is interviewing the guy who’s going to direct Cujo and… well, Austin Butler.
