I never realized how bad I need Joe to interview Stephen King until just now.
-
Joe: let's discuss books with someone who doesn't read
-
Joe is all of us trying to discuss books with someone who's only relationship to reading is "my mum read books"
-
This is like talking to a drunk girl at the bar, and trying to have a serious discussion.
-
Most people don’t realize one of his short stories is Shawshank redemeption, one of the greatest stories of all time, just off the top of his head
-
90s pennywise terrified me for YEARS. Saw it when I was like 12 and it traumatized me.
-
I like how Joe is just having the conversation he wants to have, irrespective of who's sitting opposite him.
-
Imagine Stephen King reading Cujo for the first time after he wrote it: "Damn, this is a good fucking book."
-
I'm more scared of trying to have a conversation with her without being interrupted than reading a Stephen King book.
-
I have a feeling she’s never read a book.
-
How can you hate reading? Having a conversation with this woman would be about as deep as a puddle. Also, Stephen King is an epic genius. I'd love to see him on JRE!
-
King's ability to create characters with incredible depth is why his novels don't always translate well to film.
-
Didn’t he go through some trauma? Joe: Well yeah he grew up on Maine
-
I'm sure everyone in Maine loves that Joe makes it sound like a Russian gulag.
-
She's like "could you imagine what the book is like?" Yeah, call me crazy but I've actually read a book.
-
I love the story about Stanley Kubrick phoning King at 2 in the morning asking him if he believes in God and King says "yes" and kubrick says "I knew it" and hangs up.
-
Joe's right about this, the one major strength books will have over visual adaptations is allowing readers imagination to fill in the blanks
-
When you "realize" how many of his stories are ACTUALLY a part of the Dark Tower Series. Mind-Blown....
-
I’m from Maine. Still here, born and raised 38 years lol it’s def different life here. We’re lucky to have a lot of access to nature and simplicity’s that people vacation to experience. I will say, our woods and oceans carry an energy that’s magical at times.

The Dark Tower series is soooo underrated. There are soooo many King fans that don’t realize his stories are ALL connected
