Welcome to Which is King?

Monday, October 26, 2026 • Duration 01:35

Welcome to Which is King?, a Stephen King adaptations podcast. On the page, on the screen, and two opinions on both. We’re working our way through King adaptations in chronological order, with the occasional detour for a new release.

Here’s the format: first, we discuss the novel, novella or short story. Then we turn to the adaptation: what works, what doesn’t, and what’s changed. At the end of each episode, we answer the ultimate question: which is king, the adaptation or the source material?

So, whether it’s Salem’s Lot or The Shining, Children of the Corn or Cat’s Eye, join us as we explore the highs, the lows, and the inexplicably strange.
