Stephen King's Night Shift: Gray Matter & Battleground

We're continuing our special format series covering Stephen King's NIGHT SHIFT, focusing each week on a couple of stories with their own unique collection of hosts. This week, Nathan, Dave Courtney, Vera Goudie, and Jackson Harper brave the frightening effects of a bad can of beer when they discuss GRAY MATTER, and then Reed, Matt Murray, and Steve Beckley fight toy army men in a penthouse apartment with a conversation about BATTLEGROUND. Both of these stories were adapted for series anthology episodes: Gray Matter was featured on the first season of Shudder's Creepshow series and Battleground was adapted as a TNT mini-series called Nightmares and Dreamscapes. Our different groups dive into both the stories and the adaptations in some really fun and surprisingly thoughtful conversations as always.

Also, for our patrons, there's a special bonus discussion where Blake Collier, Ian Olson, and Matt Ruff dive into THREE different stories from Night Shift, discussing JERUSALEM'S LOT, ONE FOR THE ROAD, and STRAWBERRY SPRING. This is a jam-packed, fun-filled episode that we really hope you enjoy.
