The Running Man

Matt and Si ask the question - reality TV, manipulated media, deepfake-ish video fakery and entertainment built around public humiliation ... surely that wouldn't be a social commentary for the future? We talk Arnie, Bachman, alternate casting and tackle the book and both films. Come run with us.....

The boys meet 4 of the key players of KingCon - the world's biggest King convention taking place October 22-24 in Atlantic City.We chat about what to expect at the Con, and also throw some classic Survivor Type questions at the team. This one is a riot - join the palaver ! xwww.kingconinfo.com

It's been a minute. The boys are back in town and pick up where they left off with a deep dive into the adaptations of King's darkest work. They share their fears of crazed cats, how this story hits differently if you're a parent or not and discuss the darkness on the screen.And also they ask - who the hell is Missie?

A moment to reconnect, run down some Wrapped stats and give a little preview of what's in store for Kingsize 26.

One of the Kingsize family, we are joined this week by the wonderful Steph McKenna as our Survivor Type. Steph curates and creates Outsider Zine, which showcases writing and artwork by marginalised genders. Vol 1 and Vol 2 available, and they will change the way you read King. In these turbulent times, jump in here with us - the water's warm.

Freewheeling, saxophone soundtracked deep dive chat between Matt n Nat re all things Stephen King. It's our biggest Survivor Type episode yet with the award winning horror novelist Nat Cassidy, author of "Mary", "Nestlings" and the upcoming "When The Wolf Comes Home".

Matt and Jamie have travelled through time in the lovingly crafted "King Through The Ages" - starting with a fiery masterpiece called Carrie and ending up with another unforgettable King Queen in Holly. It's the final episode of this spin off, and the boys talk Later, Billy, Fairy Tale and Holly. It's a spicy feast fit for The King.

This episode's Survivor Type is the indie author behind the disturbing debut novel "Knotweed". It's a chilling, propulsive, psychological horror story. Dave shares his top Kings, his King film, the heroes and villains that might be on the isle with him.. and much more! Let the knotweed wind itself into your ears if you dare...

Let's be honest - this is a like a bag of Revels as we hit the end of this decade ... we have the orange fondant heights of The Outsider. And then we have the shrunken chocolate raisin that is Sleeping Beauties. Jamie and Matt get stuck in to this spectrum of the good, the bad and the strange in perhaps King's most interesting and diverse period of writing. The Lizard King....

Our castaway this episode is none other than Hans-Åke Lilja, the curator of Lilja's Library - the Go To resource for all things King. This man is an absolute fountain of knowledge; has spoken to The King not just once but twice, and has more scoops than Brady when he masquerades as an ice cream van man in Mr Mercedes.
