Lobstrosities is a Patreon-only segment of The Losers’ Club that journeys into the barren wastelands of Stephen King movies and sequels. In the past, they’ve covered Pet Sematary 2, Creepshow 3, A Return to ‘Salem’s Lot, every sequel to Sometimes They Come Back, and a third of the Corn franchise. Today, in light of its 25th anniversary, the gang is unlocking their 2020 installment on the 1999 sequel, The Rage: Carrie 2.
Directed by Katt Shea, the direct sequel to Brian De Palma‘s Carrie follows Rachel Lang (Emily Bergl), the younger, also-telekinetic half-sister of Carrie White, who learns that her best friend’s suicide was prompted by a group of dickhead male classmates who exploited her sexually. The film brings back Amy Irving as Sue Snell and stuffs enough connective tissue between the cracks to make this whole thing work as a sequel.

Join Losers Michael Roffman, Randall Colburn, and Jenn Adams as they discuss how this was originally a standalone feature called The Curse, the toxic jocks of the ’90s and the aughts, the end-of-the-century fashion, the film’s myriad Stephen King connections, and, well, Zachery Ty Bryan. Again, this was recorded in the Summer of 2020 — everyone’s favorite summer, no doubt — so any topical references are likely extremely dated.
Stream the discussion below and stay tuned next week when the Losers finally drop their first book episode of 2024 with The Wind Through the Keyhole. For further adventures, join the Club over long days and pleasant nights via Apple Podcasts, Spotify, RadioPublic, Acast, Google Podcasts, and RSS.
