If you’re a weirdo like us here at The Kingcast then you’ll hold Casper Kelly’s work up as an ideal beacon of the bizarre. From Too Many Cooks to his Cheddar Goblin commercial in Mandy, Kelly’s been bouncing between pitch perfect nostalgia and crap-your-pants creepiness his whole career. He finally got to make a feature film called Buddy, which is essentially what if Barney was really a hellish purgatory for the characters trapped inside the tube. Yes, it’s as sweet as it sounds. Bloody, profane, and fun as all hell. Kelly joins The Kingcast boys to talk about this film and to talk about the strange Stephen King influences that can be found therein. The Shining, Misery, and On Writing all had at least a backwards impact on how this crazy flick came together.And thanks to this episode’s sponsor The Calamities, written by Chuck Wendig and published by Penguin/Randomhouse, available right now wherever books are sold.
