Hello everyone and welcome to the Stephen King cast, One Man's Musings on the Works of Stephen King.

Each week I will review one entry in the bibliography of Stephen King in the chronological order of publication.

And this week I'm turning my attention to the adaptation of the short story from Stephen King's collection of short stories, nightmares and dreamscape, the short story itself being Dolan's Cadillac.

And so today I'll be reviewing the West Bentley Christian Slater adaptation.

Now, if you listen to my review of the short story, Dolan's Cadillac, you'll know that when I was a kid,

it's not one that I really gravitated towards, but during the course of the reread for

this podcast, I was really enamored with the short story Dolan's Cadillac.

And this was definitely a highlight of the entire Stephen Kingcast experience for me to get to

this particular short story and connect with one that I had met a long time ago, but didn't

really feel for.

So on the second time around, it was something that I loved.

So I was very interested in giving the movie a chance.

And while I didn't respond exactly the same way to the movie as I did the book,

I will say this. It was memorable, that's for sure.

So guys, just so you know, episode is going to be uh pretty bare bones

i'm not doing any iTunes reviews i don't have any emails to read right now so i'm gonna just

get right into it there's no news um or anything i'm just gonna just fill you up with Dolan's

Cadillac the movie so So starting with the Wikipedia summary, Wikipedia writes,

Middle School History Teacher Tom Robinson lives in Las Vegas with beloved wife Elizabeth.

On a horse riding trip out in the desert one day, Elizabeth comes across a human trafficking deal gone bad with gangster Jimmy Dolan, executing the two coyotes and one of the illegal aliens.

Elizabeth is seen, however, and narrowly escapes Dolan's thugs firing at her. She drops her phone, which the thugs find and used to identify her. Soon afterwards, a corpse with its lips sewn shut, is left in Elizabeth's home a threat to keep silent.

The Robinsons go to the authorities, and an official admits them into the witness protection program.
