Carrie

Educating Jeremy

It's almost impossible to believe we hadn't yet covered a film based on the writings of Stephen King. Well, believe it! This week we rectify that offense with the 1976 thriller Carrie, based on King's book and directed by Brian DePalma. It was almost accidental how Deana-Marie and Jeremy landed on this movie, King's first novel and the first film made from one of his books. Yes, he's a lucky son of a gun, and Deana-Marie's favorite author. This episode is full of so much trivia, cast members popping up in other films and, as Jeremy called it, the slap fest of 1976.
