The one where we review The Long Walk and The Life of Chuck
Manage episode 503750777 series 3055220
Hello and thank you for downloading another episode of The Flixters Podcast!
🎙️ This week on The Flixters! 🍿
We’re taking a walk on the wild side — and the deeply emotional side — with two very different Stephen King adaptations: The Long Walk (2025) and The Life of Chuck. Tune in as we break down the brutal dystopian thrills of The Long Walk, where slowing down means lights out, and the tender, time-bending journey of Chuck, a man whose life unfolds in reverse and dances straight into your heart.
Expect laughs, hot takes, and maybe a few existential spirals as we unpack these cinematic gut-punches. Plus, we’ve got a fun film fact for you: The Long Walk was actually the first novel Stephen King ever wrote — at just 18 years old — though it wasn’t published until years later under his pseudonym Richard Bachman!
So, lace up your boots, grab a tissue (or two), and join The Flixters for another episode of movie magic, mayhem, and meaningful moments. 🎧💥
On Anniversary Corner we look back at Misery (1990).
And if that’s not enough entertainment for you, we’ve even thrown in new trailers to watch and what you can catch on streaming.
Thank you for supporting us and we hope you enjoy the show!
