I'm I'm Renee Hunter Vosquez, joined as always by my co-host, my husband, and my brother.

Hi, I'm John Paul Vosquez. Hi, I'm Travis Hunter. This week, we're recording live

from the Silver Creek Lodge discussing the 1990 horror thriller, Misery. This film was directed by

Rob Reiner with the screenplay by William Goldman based off the novel by Stephen King. Stephen King

revealed misery to be a deeply personal novel that he almost wouldn't allow to be adapted into the film.

With the condition that he would only consent

if the film was directed or produced by Rob Reiner,

the film went on to become one of the most memorable

and faithful adaptations of his work.

Due in large part to an Oscar-winning performance

from Kathy Bates,

Misery brings the novel to life with masterful suspense.

This film was recommended to us by friend of the show

and when to go-getter, William Barry.

William is an incredibly talented artist,

so go follow him on his art Instagram at all.out.bary.

Thank you so much, William, for your support and for the suggestion.

So,

what did you guys think about misery the first time you saw it? I remember seeing this when I was younger and not that I didn't fully understand, but I was just like, she's crazy, you know what I mean? She's, I get yours number one fan, but I was like, You're going a little over the top.

Watching it for the show, I still did enjoy it.

You know what I mean? But the first time I seen it, I was like, this motherfucker here. I was like, God, man. Poor dude, man, for real. Oh, absolutely. Yeah. I, honestly, I think that we must have watched this as kids. A lot. A ton. Yeah.

But I feel like as an adult, I rarely watch it. Right. I don't, and there's really no reason for it. It's not like there's something about it. It's just like, okay, it's small doses. But I mean, it's probably one of the most suspenseful films. Oh, yeah.
