One night as the Losers were asleep in the clubhouse they share in Derry, Maine, a mysterious knock came at the door. Upon opening it, they discovered not a person, but a bundle of decaying, handwritten pages. After transcribing them by candlelight, the Losers realized they were reading the teleplay for the lost first episode of Season 3 of Hulu’s Castle Rock.
Castle Rock, for those unaware, was an original anthology series inspired by the work of Stephen King and canceled by Hulu. Now, it’s unclear why this wayward script—which, we should add, arrived dotted with crimson stains—was gifted to the Losers (especially given their tepid review of Season 2). But rather than ask questions, the Losers took action!
Below, your humble hosts have sought to bring the script to life in the best way they know how: By turning it into a podcast with no affiliation whatsoever to Hulu or the creators.
Today, The Losers’ Club is proud to present the first of the audio drama’s three acts, which begin with the arrivals of a Dark Man, a beleaguered detective, a fire-spewing vigilante, a psychic drifter, and horror’s most famous vintage automobile. It’s a story as engrossing as it is asinine, and littered with more Easter eggs than you can count on, well, 19 hands.
Stream the first episode now and stay tuned for Act II and Act III to follow in the coming weeks. For further adventures, be sure to join the Club over long days and pleasant nights via iTunes/Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, RadioPublic, Acast, Google Podcasts, and RSS. You can also unlock over a hundred hours’ worth of content in The Barrens (Patreon).
