Dolores Claiborne is a great Stephen King book/movie. And I haven't seen The Dark Half in years but I remember liking it, now I'm kind of curious about the book.
Loved Dolores Claiborne, too! Word of advice if anyone is going to read/watch it, though: Don't come with expectations, because it is one of King's non-horror stories. Which, honestly, usually tend to be my favorite part of his works.
I remember the bittersweet ending of the book in which the cop notices the look Tad's wife gives him when he laughs *exactly* like Stark. He realizes that, no matter how it ends, she is never going to forget that there IS something of the monster in her husband. Tad will be name dropped in a few of Stephen King's subsequent novels, both for his books and his fate. I felt like The Dark Half was an ok book, with... something, I don't know what, that made it far more entertaining for me than it should have been, given how kinda unpolished it feels, but I haven't seen the film, yet. I would like to add to amthatdad3450 suggestion of Dolores Claiborne. Kahy Battes has said multiple times that Dolores Claiborne was her favorite role she ever done, and said she loved the film, which is something, considering the roles and films she made.
I was a fan of Stephen King growing up. The biggest book I ever read was Insomnia. (Imagine my surprise when the movie had nothing to do with the book!) I never read the Dark Half, but I loved the movie. Thank you for this video. I look forward to the next.
Neat idea. Adaptation station i mean where one brother does movie first other does first book.

I don't think either of us has watched or read that one, so now that's on the list for a future episode! Thanks for the recommendation!

The book was good. My favorites, though, are The Shining, Pet Sematary, and I like his earlier short story collections.

The book was awesome, at least 9th grade me thought so
I didn't know they made an adaptation of insomnia, though sounds like not worth the time
Stephen King? "The Dead Zone". "The Shining" and "Doctor Sleep". "Misery"
