Desperation with Jeremy Slater
Episode 113, Mar 30, 2022, 08:00 AM
Moon Knight head writer Jeremy Slater joins Vespe and Wampler to break down what works and what doesn't work in King's extremely entertaining book. Slater also talks about a pitch he went on with Sam Raimi to adapt this particular story and gives us a little insight into his contribution to another pending King adaptation: The Tommyknockers.
Conversation also manages to cover the comic card explosion of the early '90s, a strong stance from Slater on the work of Dean Koontz and whether or not Vespe is the best Lucio in their regular Overwatch group.
The little town of Desperation, Nevada has fallen on hard times and that was before an ancient evil decided to take over the body of the town's gentle giant cop. Today's topic is Desperation, with a little talk about its twinner book, The Regulators, for good measure.
