Frank Darabont's The Mist
It appears we may have a problem of some magnitude. Join the Losers at the Food House in Bridgton, Maine as they celebrate the 15th anniversary of Frank Darabont's The Mist. Together, they take inventory of the film's inspired ensemble cast, debate the themes within, marvel at Darabont's handiwork, and sort through all the macabre monsters that still terrify us all these years later. This being a Long Watch installment, it's as immersive as it is exhaustive. Bonus: As part of the celebration, we also spoke to star Thomas Jane again, and you can find that interview in the feed above.

The Dark Tower V: Wolves of the Calla
The Losers’ Club is back on the path of the Beam — and this time they’re following it to the end.
