1922 with Thomas Jane
Episode 212, Jan 03, 09:00 AM
Thomas Jane makes his triumphant return to The Kingcast stage to talk about his work in 1922. Well, that's the goal anyway, but when you get Thomas Jane on the line the conversation is gonna go where it's gonna go. We may be aiming to talk Stephen King, but you're gonna get chatter involving living in France, some semi-contentious politics discussion, and even an update on the producer/actor's adaptation of King's From a Buick 8. In short, if you ever wanted to know what it's like to sit down with Thomas Jane and have a lengthy conversation while he puffs on a pipe then this is the chat for you.
1922 was a novella originally published in Stephen King's story collection Full Dark, No Stars. It's all about a rural farmer who kills his wife for her family's land and talks his teen son into helping. Both men can't grapple with the enormity of what they've done and soon begin to spiral into guilt-driven madness despite getting away with the crime free and clear. It was adapted by Netflix into a feature film released in 2017.
