An Ode To Jordy Verrill with Brent Terhune

Episode 238,   Jul 03, 08:00 AM

Today's episode of The Kingcast is a bittersweet one. This marks the very last Scott Wampler hosted episode of the show, which is sad, but it's also kind of fitting that he's leaving us with an episode where he gets to debate the level of redneck Jordy Verrill was with the very funny Brent Terhune, a comedian who turned a lot of heads imitating the worst of the worst angry white guys screaming about social politics from the front seat of their truck.

This conversation covers a lot of ground while focusing on what makes the Jordy Verrill segment of Creepshow a standout. Up for discussion: is Stephen King a good actor, actually? Does he have empathy for the Jordy Verrills of this world? Would Jordy have stormed the capitol on January 6th? All these very important questions are discussed in-depth.

The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill is all about a lunkhead rural farmer who discovers a meteor that crashed on his land. He thinks he has hit the jackpot, his luck finally turning around, but all that happens is a strange moss grows out of the meteor and all over this poor guy. Based on King's previously published short story "Weeds."
