Stephen King Adaptations, Part 5: The Mangler (1995)
Role Credits · Episode
Part 5 of our Stephen King Adaptations arc is here! We try and fail to figure out the plot of 1995's The Mangler, perform impressions of an early-00s viral sensation, and play "Stephen King or Choujin Sentai Jetman?"!

Screenshot from Pokemon Red. Protagonist is looking at TV. Flavor text says "there's a movie on TV. Four boys are walking on railroad tracks."
Role Credits is back! It's time for Stand By Me. We break down the history and context of the movie and the ways it was nearly canceled, and we talk about movies that are canonical in the Pokemon world, among other things!

We'd like to extend a special shout-out to our friends at Third Tower Productions for their help with some of the groundwork for the theory discussed in this episode. We hope we did you proud.

Role Credits' Stephen King arc continues, this time covering the Yandere Car classic, Christine! A John Carpenter movie rife with yaoi & triangulation so intense it would make Eve Kosovsky Sedgwick blush! Car crashes, radicalization, & the good old days!

There were a few small technical issues with the latter half of the recording leading to a few missed lines. We've done our best to edit around what we can, & it shouldn't happen in the future. Thanks for your understanding. We've also tried new editing and format tweaks this episode!
