The Monkey Movie Review

In their second episode dedicated to The Dark Tower, the last book in Stephen King’s Dark Tower saga (that isn’t Wind Through the Keyhole), the Losers get caught in the web of the book’s most controversial character: the child-spider Mordred. Is the hungry arachnid one of King’s most vicious villains or a massive letdown? And what of his most controversial kill? They also delve deep into the story’s deep bench of supporting players, which includes some familiar faces from King’s Dominion, and sort through all that’s scary and silly in End-World. As a bonus, the Losers rank the Dark Tower books, which we’re sure won’t make any of you mad.Follow us on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | PatreonHosted on Acast.

Next week, the Losers will begin their much-anticipated final coverage of The Dark Tower with the first of two book episodes dedicated to the epic 2004 closer. In anticipation, we're unlocking this quirky, spoiler-filled discussion about the Crimson King from way, way back in August of 2020. At the time, we were just wrapping up our book episode on Insomnia, so it felt right to discuss Big Red.Now, as we reach the Tower, it makes even more sense to head into the Court of the Crimson King. So, join Rockin' Randall Colburn, Dan Caffrey, and Dan Pfleegor as they discuss the King's murky origins, the ways he threads the multiverse, and, most importantly, whether or not they think the King is cool. Again, there will be spoilers -- spotty as their memories are -- so listen at your own risk. Follow us on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Patreon | StoreHosted on Acast.

The Dark Tower looms, but first? Dinner at the Dixie Pig. Join Losers Randall Colburn, Ana Marie Cox, Dan Pfleegor, and Dan Caffrey as they unpack the labyrinthian lore behind Stephen King's penultimate entry along the beam: Song of Susannah. Together, they discuss the intriguing array of supporting characters and metafictional flourishes. Does the book’s most infamous cameo work — or is it a case of the author eating his own tail? Also, what does the book have to say about the tension between magic and science?Follow us on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | PatreonHosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
