The Tommyknockers

Yeah, I was thinking of Stephen King loves to do the small towns.

I'm thinking Tommyknockers, and all that with...

And I felt that you, you did a great job of connecting these characters.

Yeah.

But you don't have to be afraid.

It's my impression of Edward Herman reading Stephen King's The Tommyknockers.

I know.

And I'm like, whatever.

All right.

Well, Tommyknocker, whether they be ghosts of aliens, which is a very cool concept, let me say, even though perhaps named in a way that I disagree with, but a very cool concept, whether they be alien ghosts or little mind trolls, we love them.

In this house, we love Tommyknockers.

I

It's like everyone in the book is a horrible person, which I personally love books like that.

I'm currently reading The Tommyknockers by Stephen King.

It's my most recent in my year of reading all of his works that I haven't read yet in order.

And The Tommyknockers is very much like his...

Well, he has a lot of cocaine books, but it's the most clearly the one about... addiction and the influence of substances on an artistic practice because it's about this woman who finds a spaceship in her backyard and like it gives her and I'm guessing everyone in the town like amazing inventing powers I don't have

anything to add to that other than the fact that Tommyknockers does sound like a kind of like Hooters satire that would appear in like a 30 Rock episode for sure Step on up to Tommy Knackers.

That's Stephen King, right?

I didn't read or see the Tommyknockers.

It's

a legit claim.

The Tommyknockers themselves, like Tommyknockers, started in England.

I did watch that.

It was on Netflix or something.

The acting was, it was like a B movie.

You know, I just think that's the way it works.

However, I really do like when Jack shows up in the Tommyknockers.

Wait, Jack Sawyer? Are you serious? On the beach.

Does he? Man, I haven't read Time Knockers in a while.

I like Tommyknockers way better than Justin does.

So I'm surprised he remembered it.

Because I like the Tommyknockers, but you're right.

Well, I remember World War II.

And, you know, we got permission from Mr.

King, uh, through hi-his, uh, his agent, uh, Rand Holston at, at CAA when I, I was repped there, you know, when, when we made the film, and he was very generous and let us use copies of not only It, but then you see Eddie reading The Tommyknockers when he is-

Okay

... laying in bed.

It's, like, a hardback of The Tommyknockers, which would've been in hardback, I think, in 1988 perhaps.

Um, and, uh-

That sounds about right
