Dolores Claiborne

I tried

triedBring up that movie, Dolores Claiborne.

Uh-huh.

I always say, I remember this very clearly.

It's going to be our Thanksgiving Stephen King episode coming up, which always drops on Thanksgiving Day.

This year it will be Dolores Claiborne starring Kathy Bates.

A little bit of a deep track, but...

Stephen King, deep tracks are fun for us here.

So looking forward to that.

They can't all be the Shawshank Redemption, but Dolores Claiborne, I have not seen it to this day.

So I'm looking forward to a first watch episode.

That's always a good time.

Oh, wow.

The five seed Dolores Claiborne.

Let's see how this one goes.

We're kicking it off here.

Come on.

I mean, I really don't know if I need to speak too much about this one.

Dolores Claiborne, good movie.

I liked it.

Oh, yeah.

He's the, the rapey husband in Dolores Claiborne.

Oh, yes.

But I'm like, there's definitely like...

Take that back.

Never saw Dolores Claiborne.

Don't think it was going to sway my opinion.

There is a scene in The American President, call it wishful thinking all you want, but there is a scene in The American President where it's just Michael Douglas and Annette Bening, who, by the way, Annette Bening is amazing in this film.

Seven is moving on, and so are we.

We have got three picks left this episode.

Your independent film play and winner, Party Girl, is going to be the four-seed, the five-seed, Dolores Claiborne.

And we are going to bring this one over with Brandon to start.

And I'm Beth, stuck in a rut, invisible at home, and one nursing home visit away from finding my inner Towanda.

Every week, Michelle and I curl up on the couch and watch a movie, and we just talk it out, how it makes us laugh or cry, sit on the edge of our seats, or makes us lean in to someone we love.

So grab your grandmother's flower garden quilt and get in the blanket fort, and let's talk about it.

So before we get into the movie-

Yes

... which is Fried Green Tomatoes.

Nope.

We were not even Cozy Quilt Cinema.

I don't think that one's ever gonna be a movie just based on what happens in it.

Um, but with Shawshank Redemption and Stand by Me and, um, Dolores Claiborne and The Long Walk, I think those are four of his best ones.

There's no monster in them.

That's true.

Um, so yeah, those are, those are two of, two of his best non-horror ones I would say.

Yeah.

Um, Dolores Claiborne is, uh, one of his more underrated books.

It came out in the '90s, and it's about a, a woman who lives on a ruined island in Maine who's accused of, uh, murder, uh, murdering her husband.

him.

Wasn't he in Dolores Claiborne?

Yes, he was also in Good Night, Good Luck.

The movie, not the play.
