#357 – The Mist and Herd Mentality (The Long Walk)

Yet another Stephen King Movie...

Episode Notes

Ok, we are back with more Stephen King nonsense. I guess if you make changes, sometimes the author is ok with it. But only if it is extra sad? Sorry, Kubrick, apparently you are no Frank Darabont.

Topics include: -Joe Hill v Stephen King -The Walking Dea -"Oh god noooooo" -Thomas Jane being a limited actor -Bad special effects

Join us for THE MIST before you see THE LONG WALK!
