Survivor Type with Joe Lo Truglio
Episode 179, May 17, 2023, 08:00 AM
The extremely funny Joe Lo Truglio (Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Wet Hot American Summer, The State) joins The Kingcast boys to discuss this nasty little King short story as well as get the inside dirt on Lo Truglio's brand new horror film, Outpost (not THE Outpost, he'll have you know). The conversation covers the usual go-tos, like what part of Ken Marino would taste the best and if a love handle could sustain you just as well as a good hunk of leg meat as well as some detours into King's mindset while writing this story, how we all reacted to lockdown and just what age is it appropriate to start your kid reading Stephen King.
When a heroin-smuggling doctor gets stranded on a tiny rocky outcropping in the middle of the ocean he must decide just how far he's willing to go to survive. This Stephen King short story, which can be found in Skeleton Crew, is one of the maestro's goriest tales as the doctor loses his mind and body piece by piece.
