🎬 POPCORN & PINTS EP. 258: CUJO & SILVER BULLET RABID DOGS & FULL MOONS

🎬 POPCORN & PINTS EP. 258: CUJO & SILVER BULLET — RABID DOGS & FULL MOONS ⚠️ THIS IS A SPOILER SHOW ⚠️ We openly discuss major plot points, twists, endings, and key moments. If you haven't seen these films yet — consider this your warning. We're diving into the Stephen King catalog tonight with two beloved small-town nightmares. First up, a gentle St. Bernard named Cujo gets bitten by a rabid bat and turns into one of the most terrifying creatures in horror history — not because he's a monster, but because he used to be a good dog. Then we head to Tarker's Mills, Maine, where a werewolf stalks the town every full moon and a paraplegic kid and his uncle are the only ones who believe it. Two King classics. Two very different kinds of dread. 🕗 LIVE JULY 4TH, 2026 @ 8 PM EST 🍿 THE KERNELS Sir. Sturdy – Host of Horror With Sir.

A mother and her young son end up trapped inside their broken-down Ford Pinto, with a 200-pound rabid dog standing between them and survival. Dee Wallace delivers one of the most committed performances in horror — raw, desperate, completely believable. It's relentless, suffocating tension that builds until you can barely breathe. Stephen King called it one of his favorite adaptations. 📺 Streaming on YouTube TV | MGM Plus | MGM+ Amazon Channel 🔗 Rent: Amazon Video, Apple TV Store, Fandango At Home 🍕 Food: Simple American comfort food — the kind you'd eat at a small town diner in Castle Rock, Maine 🍺 Drinks: Something cold, since you'll be sweating through the entire third act trapped in that Pinto 🍿 Snacks: Popcorn, anything you can eat with shaking hands SILVER BULLET (1985) Director: Daniel Attias | Written by: Stephen King Country: United States Released: October 11, 1985 | Runtime: 1h 35min | Rated: R Budget: $7M | Box Office: $12.4M Domestic The small town of Tarker's Mills, Maine is being stalked by a werewolf — and the only people who believe it's real are a paraplegic kid named Marty and his hard-drinking Uncle Red. Gary Busey is an absolute force of nature here, ad-libbing half his lines and stealing every scene he's in. Corey Haim and Megan Follows carry the heart of the story. King wrote the screenplay himself, adapting his own novella Cycle of the Werewolf. Gory, a little goofy, and an absolute blast. 📺 Streaming on Hoopla 🔗 Rent: Amazon Video, Apple TV Store, Fandango At Home 🍕 Food: Small town diner fare — comfort food you'd eat in Tarker's Mills before the moon comes out 🍺 Drinks: Whatever Uncle Red would pour you — strong, unapologetic, probably more than one 🍿 Snacks: Anything you can grip tight during the church transformation scene POP IN THE COMMENTS & DISCUSS THESE FILMS WITH THE KERNALS 🍿 Popcorn & Pints https://linktr.ee/POPCORNPINTS 🕸️ Sir.
