* CausticCritic: DefiedTrope. Even on the occasional times they find little to love in a King work, they'll still analyze it's good point, and often go out of their way to balance things, finding a host or guest-host who [[VocalMinority genuinely likes the work]]. Just look at some of their crew's [[TakeThat inexplicable affection]] for Literature/TheTommyknockers!

* TheFilmOfTheBook: Originally, they used to lump everything related to one of King’s books into the episode covering it, which meant that, say, their episode on Literature/Carrie also covered all three film adaptations that existed at the time. Now, they give the adaptations their own episodes.

''The Loser’s Club Podcast'' is a weekly podcast that analyzes the works of Creator/StephenKing, digging deep into the author’s oeuvre and the myriad TV, film, print, and stage adaptations of his work.

Each episode, the Losers gather together to read between the iconic pages and share the latest in King’s Dominion, whether it’s the author’s oft-controversial tweets, the boldest Hollywood headlines, or his endless forthcoming projects.

Currently hosted by ''[[IronicNickname “Rockin’”]]'' Randall Colburn, Mel Kastle, Dan Caffrey, [=McKenzie=] Gerber, Jenn ''[[AffectionateNickname “the Rage”]]'' Adams, and Michael Roffman, with occasional appearances from [=McKenzie’s=] older brother, Justin ''”’Lil Justo”'' Gerber. In addition, the series often features a number of special guests from various King-related productions.
