One of Cronenberg's oft-ignored great films, The Dead Zone provides three stories in one thanks to an expertly structured screenplay...all in just 103 minutes.
Great write up. My dad, who snuck on the set of Lethal Weapon 3, actually met Boam and exchanged phone numbers (Long story). They had a few conversations about screenwriting while my dad was finishing up college. When Boam died my father received his crew jacket from Lethal Weapon 3.
The Dead Zone would be a banger for pretty much any other writer, but for King it is mid tier. I hadn’t heard about Wampler yet. That is terrible news. I loved The Kingcast.
Such a good podcast. I'm thankful they had a few more already recorded and several episodes of a new project too. And it sounds like they're gonna release some of the Patreon subscriber episodes in the near future as well. Gonna miss his voice once it's finally gone though.
One of the best filmmakers to have come out of anywhere! I think this film shows that he's not just a one-trick pony and he can do more than body horror when he chooses to.

What! That's amazing. I hope that jacket fits you well so you can carry on the tradition.

Cronenberg is one of the best filmmakers to have come out of Canada. His personal style and touch have always been extremely unique.
