EPIX’s “Chapelwaite” Sinks Its Teeth Into the Gothic Side of Stephen King [The Losers’ Club Podcast]

Welcome to Preacher’s Corners, where the sky is grey, the sea is green, and the people are blue. Beware, though, for there’s a curse across this small New England town. A curse that can be traced all the way up the road, past the pines, and behind the mansion doors of the creaky Chapelwaite manor. Deep within its walls lies an ancient evil that will swallow you whole.

Today, the Losers chance those odds as they discuss EPIX’s new series Chapelwaite. Based on Stephen King‘s Night Shift short story “Jerusalem’s Lot”, this epistolatory tale for ‘Salem’s Lot stars Oscar winner Adrien Brody, Schitt’s Creek stunner Emily Hampshire, and a crop of creepy creatures of the night. It’s a Lovecraftian epic from the Gothic side of King.

Join Losers Randall Colburn, Michael Roffman, Dan Caffrey, and Jenn Adams as they engage in a vaguely spoiler-free discussion of the show. Together, they’ll weigh in on its old-school touchstones, its prescient themes, its ties to King’s Dominion, and its marvelous production design. They’ll also digress on why it’s a new kind of adaptation for the King catalogue.

Stream the episode below and stay tuned for spirited interviews with Brody, Hampshire, and the masterminds behind the exciting new show.
