“Bless me”? Do you know what God did for me? He threw an 18-wheeled truck at me and bounced me into nowhere for five years! When I woke up my girl was gone, my job was gone, my legs are just about useless… Blessed me? God’s been a real sport to me!”
The ice is gonna break, and The Losers’ Club is there to crack it as they revisit David Cronenberg‘s The Dead Zone. Starring Christopher Walken, Brooke Adams, Tom Skerritt, and Martin Sheen, this 1983 Stephen King adaptation bruises with the years, thanks to being as harrowing and devastating as the prose from which it pulls.
Joining Losers Michael Roffman, Randall Colburn, and Mel Kassel at the Weizak Clinic is Manhunt author Gretchen Felker-Martin. From getting the script right with Jeffrey Boam to being saved by producer Debra Hill, scrapping alternate endings to shooting on haunted locales, the Losers take aim at everything there is to know behind this production.
