Needful Things with Jay Cheel
Listen now
Description
When documentarian and podcaster Jay Cheel (Cursed Films, How To Build A Time Machine, Film Junk Podcast) agreed to talk about Needful Things we had no idea the discussion would end up turning to Dick Tracy toys and failed death curses on Hollywood blockbusters, but sometimes that's just what happens. This lengthy episode dives into what constitutes a "Needful Thing," how much culpability the townsfolk of Castle Rock have in their actions, a surprising revelation that one of the hosts has actually sat through the bizarre 3 hour cut of the film, and the theory that Leland Gaunt could just be a really good American Picker. All that and more awaits you in this week's extremely entertaining episode.
