Carrie with Scott Derrickson
Episode 130, Jun 15, 2022, 08:00 AM
Horniness, bullying, big studio complexity of the 1970s and the hungry nature of both Brian DePalma and Stephen King are on the docket for this chat as director Scott Derrickson (The Black Phone, Doctor Strange) returns to The Kingcast stage, his sights set on this early King title.
This surprisingly deep conversation tackles the themes of faith, cruelty and, yes, overt sexuality of King's book and DePalma's movie. Is Carrie a villain? The answer might be more complex than you'd think.
Carrie was the book that launched Stephen King's literary career and the movie that put Brian DePalma on the map, so it's only fitting that we get an expert cinephile and King fanatic in to break them both down.
