We return to the question of BASEBALL this month for a rather light lift on JUST KING THINGS, as a fairly solid co-authored short story is, for some reason, touted as a standalone novella with A FACE IN THE CROWD, giving us opportunity to discuss King's "cash-in" era: rangedtouch.com/2025/11/10/a...

SHELVED BY GENRE completes Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell's FROM HELL, learning a great deal of things in another barn-burner 4-hour episode! Plus, if you pay close attention, you'll catch the official announcement of our NEXT UNIT. Listen in: rangedtouch.com/2025/11/07/f...

Five-star runtime? More like five PENTAGRAM runtime! Today Shelved by Genre talks for over four hours about the first nine chapters of Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell's high concept Jack the Ripper yarn FROM HELL, bringing all our diverse pools on knowledge to bear: rangedtouch.com/2025/10/24/f...

A new JUST KING THINGS bonus ep, available to all our Patreon supporters: we tackle 1994's THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, the best movie of all time according to IMDb, perhaps because of how immaculately it's made and how confusing its message actually is. www.patreon.com/posts/141116...

The saga of Roland and the Dark Tower is over, but that doesn't mean there's not more to be seen in Mid-World! 2012's A WIND THROUGH THE KEYHOLE has some stuff to say about werewolves, storms, matricidal forgiveness, little trains, and of course, Elf Language rangedtouch.com/2025/10/13/t...

The cabaret is leaving town--SHELVED BY GENRE today discusses the last book of V FOR VENDETTA, in which everything sort of wraps up, and we wonder which debonair antiheroes might be our next object of fixation: rangedtouch.com/2025/09/12/v...

Meanwhile on Patreon, our Bonus Episode for this month covers the TV miniseries adaptation of 11/22/63, which features some incredible performances and interesting changes, and also one of the worst performances we've seen in a King adaptation, or maybe anything! www.patreon.com/posts/just-k...

JUST KING THINGS heads to the local diner to discuss one high school teacher's mission to go back in time and teach more high school, and also get a girlfriend, learn how microphones work, and if he has time, stop the Kennedy assassination.

A new unit begins today on SHELVED BY GENRE, now covering selected works of Alan Moore. We kick things off with a long chat on the first two books of V FOR VENDETTA, making time to offer up some of our trademark earthshaking reinterpretations of the classics: rangedtouch.com/2025/08/29/v...

For our Hallmark movie interlude on SHELVED BY GENRE, we watched 2006's 10.5 APOCALYPSE, a made-for-TV epic in which a series of massive earthquakes test the soul of a nation and everyone finds their personal nausea limit for the use of faux-documentary shaky-cam: rangedtouch.com/2025/08/15/1...

On this month's JKT Bonus Episode, we're talking about the film adaptation of 1922, which is very good, and features a stunning performance by barefoot-is-legal advocate Tom Jane as A Jerk From the Midwest: www.patreon.com/posts/136231...

Murder, revenge, malevolence, and marital strife: JUST KING THINGS covers King's first novella collection since 1990's FOUR PAST MIDNIGHT, as 2011's FULL DARK, NO STARS shows Steve taking familiar setups of stories past and swerving straight into the grim and grody: rangedtouch.com/2025/08/11/f...
