Mom is in the air. It seems like just yesterday Justin Timberlake was kicking off the month of May and now it’s time to break out the Sunday corsages, the obligatory calls, and the schmaltzy greeting cards in a collective celebration of all things maternal. Your fearless Losers are marking the occasion by combing through King’s catalog in search of the worst moms fictional Maine (and beyond) has to offer.
This episode features 16 literary mothers each duking it out to be named the absolute worst female caregiver in all of King’s Dominion. What has the Master of Horror said about his own mother? How does his childhood show up in his work? Will Steve Kemp make an appearance? Will incest play a role? Is it supportive to aid and abet your child’s crimes? And, of course, who will be the worst mother of all?
It’s stiff competition, but thankfully your hosts Jenn Adams, Randall Colburn, and Julia Marchese are joining us for a bracket-style brunch and definitive ranking of Stephen King’s worst moms.
