CUJO (the book) - Does It Shine?

About this episode

The episode discusses the book 'Cujo' by Stephen King and explores themes such as the hero's journey and the author's struggles with substance abuse.

S3 Ep 149: I was expecting Donna to have a "heroes journey," storyline. Famously, Stephen King does not remember writing Cujo... because of drugs and drinking and stuff. Pretty wild. patreon.com/midnightmovietheatre patreon.com/midnightmovietheatre
