Evan Jones Thorne joins me to talk about the resolution to the cliffhanger from the Waste Lands, as we learn how the ka-tet escapes from the clutches of the mad train Blaine the Mono. But what they find outside his careening hull isn't much better. Did you really expect it to be? Special Guest: Evan Jones Thorne.
This week I'm joined by Autumn Greer and Evan Jones Thorne to talk about the first part of Stephen King's original magnum opus: The Stand. It's a massive sprawling book, so we can only introduce characters and talk about the early days of their journey. Come along with us to hear about the superflu, survival in a world devoid of people, and the nascent stages of a battle between good and evil.
Go home, there probably won't be other films like these. I'm joined by Jeremy Greer and Evan Jones Thorne to talk about the recent Dark Tower film adaptation. The episode is nearly twice as long as the movie itself, but there's a lot to talk about here. So grab some popcorn and hear us lament the death of opportunity.
Tick tock, Blaine is waiting. The horrors of Lud have come to bear, as Chase Greenlee, Murph Murphy, and Evan Jones Thorne come along to talk about the Tick Tock Man and the first appearance of Blaine (who is both a pain and a train). Listen to find out if Roland can help Jake, and if Eddie and Susannah can untangle the twisted mess of Blaine's psyche.
A brief period of calm gives way to action, insanity, and direction. This week, I'm joined by Autumn Greer and Evan Jones Thorne to talk about the first chapter of The Waste Lands. After a whole book of sickness and struggles, Roland, Eddie, and Susannah have had a chance to recuperate and train in the woods. But there are two problems: Roland is losing his mind, and there's someone in the forest who wants them out.
She is Rosie, Rosie Real. This week we take a small break from the Dark Tower series to look at Stephen King's Rose Madder, published in 1994. Autumn Greer and Evan Jones Thorne join me to talk about Rosie's flight from the terrifying and abusive Norman Daniels, one of King's scariest villains. We also look at the connections between Rosie's world and that of Roland. There are more than you might think. A quick warning: This book contains some upsetting subject matter. Even more than you might usually find in a horror book written by Stephen King. So please, pause and think about whether or not hearing/reading about sexual abuse or domestic abuse might ruin your day.
The march up the beach only gets worse when the second of the Three turns out to be real trouble. This week, Kole Ross is joined by Chase Greenlee, Evan Jones Thorne, and Paddy Smith to introduce the second of The Three... an unassuming woman from the Civil Rights era who has a twisted hidden half. Let's learn about Odetta Holmes, the Lady of Shadows. And when things get uncomfortable, we can return to the Boyz on the Beach!
Roland brings a little firepower to our side of the door, and learns to appreciate Pepsi Cola and popkins. This week, Kole Ross is joined by Autumn Greer and Evan Jones Thorne to continue the story of Eddie Dean, the heroin addicted drug mule that fate paired with our Gunslinger. Fresh out of a nail-biting jam with customs, Eddie must now figure out what happened to his brother and deal with Enrico Balazar, all while keeping Roland alive.
Let's find out what's next for Roland, and meet the first of many new friends. This week, Kole Ross is joined by Evan Jones Thorne, Jeremy Greer, and Stephen Veilleux to kick off season 2 of the show, "The Drawing of the Three". We rejoin Roland as he sits on the beach, dreaming in a daze about the words of the Man in Black as a Lobstrosity bites his fingers off. And that's just the start of Roland's no good very bad day, as he sets out to find his door into the mind of Eddie Dean, one of the best characters in the series.
It's time to meet the Man in Black. But how many of his answers are lies? This week, Kole Ross is joined by Evan Jones Thorne, Jeremy Greer, and Murph Murphy to talk about the final chapter of The Gunslinger, where Roland finally gets what he bargained Jake's life for. In a Golgotha that faces the sea, over a night that lasts for years, we get a taste of the tower, and a sense for what a son-of-a-bitch Walter is. Thank you so much for listening to this season of the show. After a small interlude to talk about The Eyes of the Dragon, we will return with discussion about The Drawing of the Three. Special Guests: Evan Jones Thorne, Jeremy Greer, and Murph Murphy.

This inaugural episode covers the first chapter of the first Dark Tower book, both of which are called "The Gunslinger".
