Ep1259: CARRIE (2026) - Live Charity Movie Review
Amazon Prime's new Carrie miniseries premieres this week, and Kicking the Seat will break down all the bloody details of the 8-episode premiere!
Executive Producer Mike Flanagan brings us a modern update of horror master Stephen King's debut novel, in the most accurate recreation of its grounbreaking structure ever captured on film. But with a rock storm's worth of plot and character changes, can this truly be considered an adaptation?
Find out as Ian and Jeff break look at the good, the bad, and the downright head-scratching elements--as well as how it stacks up to the book, Brian DePalma's iconic 1976 film, and the myriad other remakes, sequels, etc. This'll be a big one, friends, so don't laugh it off!
Join the guys as we fill our critical buckets to the brim --and take your questions and comments in the chat!
