News · October 12, 2018

“You’re dead, fatboy.”

(Merch: Support The Losers’ Club and Grab Some T-Shirts!)

Join Losers Michael Roffman, Mel Kassel, Randall Colburn, and The AV Club’s Katie Rife as they wax nostalgic and visit the ’50s in the third episode revolving around Stephen King’s 1986 epic.

Listen above and return next week when the Losers wrestlewith middle age in “Part 3: Grownups” and read another one of Hanlon’s interludes. For now, don’t forget to show your support and leave us a glowing review on iTunes.
