Podcasts about Roland Deschain

The Ka-tet picks up exactly where we left off: on the beaches of Midworld, with Roland Deschain. (If none of that makes any sense to you, go listen to episode one of the Dark Tower Deep Dive immediately) Nat Cassidy, Chris Panatier and I gather for a long, philosophical, expletive-littered conversation about Book 2: The Drawing of the Three. We get further into the character of Roland and his quest, and spend some time with the gaggle of oddballs he meets along his scenic tour of the coast. The seafood is particularly tasty! It's good to be talking Tower again.

In the immortal words of legendary author Stephen King " The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed. The desert was the apotheosis of all deserts, huge, standing to the sky for what looked like eternity in all directions." The Dark Tower novel series written by Stephen King was originally published in 1982 with a world set in a Western with elements of the dark supernatural fantasy. The story follows the adventures of Roland Deschain, son of Steven of the House of Eld as The Gunslinger purses his quest to reach the Dark Tower, the center of the universes and his vengeance upon The Man In Black. Regarded as Stephen Kings magnum opus, this series was adapted into the comic book format published by Marvel Comics in 2007 by the incredible comic book team of Robin Furth, scripts by Peter David, and art by Jae Lee and Richard Isanove. During this podcast we will discuss the history of the series, adaptations of Dark Tower, the first arc of this story in the graphic novel collections and so much more.

Today, we're unlocking our debut episode of the Dark Tower Detour, our Patreon-exclusive series that studies the minutiae of Roland Deschain's epic quest. Hosted by Dan Pfleegor and Dan Caffrey, this exclusive series covers a range of topics that interest those who remember the face of their father. No character is too small. No detail too obscure.  This kickoff episode -- recorded in September 2021 -- sees the Dans joined by Kingslingers co-hosts Scott Daly and Matt Freeman. Together, this blessed ka-tet bring its expertise to the ill-fated Battle of Jericho Hill, a tragic bloodbath mentioned in passing across several installments of the series. If you recall, the event was finally explored in full during a five-issue Marvel comic book run that ran from December 2009 to April 2010. Using that as a stepping stone, your heroes will examine the minds behind these comics, break down the belligerents on either side of the battle, and discuss the canonical significance of the Horn of Eld in this world and others. If you like this episode, you can find more installments of the Dark Tower Detour, including our latest episode that studies the similarities between The Dark Tower and The Lord of the Rings, by joining The Barrens: patreon.com/thebarrens, In addition to the Detour, we have close to a thousand hours of content waiting to be unpacked.

The Man in Black fled across the desert, and the Gunslinger followed. And then they continued though the desert, and then through some rubble, and then past some grey buildings. Every now and then a laser blasts into the Dark Tower. Rinse and repeat. This is The Dark Tower (2017), a terrible movie based on one of the best book series of all time. But it turns out if you talk about something you love, it also becomes terrible.Music created by Jack Parsons.Follow us on Twitter & Instagram and check out our YouTube channel.

La segunda mitad de la década del '80 no baja su intensidad. Stephen King dirige su primera (y única película), publica su tesis absoluta sobre el terror, vuelve a reencontrarse con Roland Deschain, y nos presenta a su villano preferido: una fan llamada Annie Wilkes. Pero casi diez años a toda velocidad tienen su consecuencia personal, y Stephen, finalmente, tiene que enfrentarse al que quizás sea el miedo más grande de su vida: perder su familia.

Roland, solitario, quizá maldito, anda sin descanso a través de un paisaje triste y abandonado. Conoce a Jake, un chico de Nueva York pero de otro tiempo, y ambos unen sus destinos. Ante ellos están las montañas. Y mucho más allá, la Torre Oscura...«El hombre de negro huía a través del desierto y el pistolero iba en pos de él.»Estas palabras las escribió Stephen King en 1970, cinco años antes de la publicación de su primera novela, y con ellas abrió la puerta a un nuevo mundo que muchos lectores todavía no conocen bien. De esta forma se inició una fantasía épica en siete tomos, «La Torre Oscura», que terminó convirtiéndose en un clásico del género. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

A Review of Stephen King's The Dark Tower Book 1 The Gunslinger. The story takes place in a metaphorical Hell on earth. And the Gunslinger, whose name is Roland Deschain, is chasing the Devil into his wicked kingdom. Roland's journey is ultimately a test of wills and the measure of a man. A man who will stop at nothing to get what he desires or die tying to achieve it. The journey begins in the aftermath of a world that has moved on. It was once a place of splendor and wonder, that is now desolate and dying.

The story centers upon Roland Deschain, the last gunslinger, who has been chasing after his adversary, "the man in black," for many years.

Hile, listeners! Look closely, I beg. See a pair of legendary gunfighters, each among the most formidable to ever draw iron. In another life, perhaps, these two may have met under more amiable circumstances. Perhaps they have even become friends. But the world has moved on, and ka has decreed that their paths must cross in conflict. For one of these men is Roland Deschain of Gilead-that-was, the last gunslinger, he who seeks the Dark Tower and the room that sits at the top. The other is Vash the Stampede, of Trigun, a living whirlwind of strife and death whose skill with the gun is surpassed only by the amount of money that can be acquired for his head, and he stands in Roland's path. Ka is a demon bitch that way, may it do ya, and one of these men will not be leaving the battleground alive. See these Smash Fiction competitors, listeners. See them very well. And know that the irony of asking you to see things is not lost on us! See also their advocates, among them, returning guest hosts Matias Tautimez and Rafael Medina! Listen all the way to the end of the episode, despite Claire turning the opening scenario into a jumble o phonetic confusion and Miles producing perhaps the worst opening stinger in podcast history! Not all of them many survive this episode, but in the thanks section, we shall cry all their names!

The Iggy Boys are back, baby.  In anticipation of this movie, Oliver read the first installment in Steven King's 'Dark Tower' series. Oli thoroughly enjoyed the book, so he had hope as high as a tower. Did the Idris Elba & Matthew McConaughey lead epic live up to the expectations? or did they make Oli want to jump off a tower? I'm done with the tower jokes. And as always we cap off the episode with a few fun segments. This time: Pet Peeves & The Fruit is Acute.

In this episode we the triumphant return of J-Mac (Jeremy McFarlane) and the first-ever Throwdown Thursday appearance of Jeremy Slaygoth! If that isn't enough Jeremy for you, they are also joined by Jeremy Lloyd of the Dark Tower Radio Podcast! They join the gang to talk about Roland Deschain, the eponymous Gunslinger of Stephen King's Dark Tower series. They compare and contrast the depiction of the character in the books with the portrayal by Idris Elba. There's a lot of talk about the various books, the group's feelings on the different feats and adventures of the character, and where he fits in King's universe. The gang also gives a preview of next week's episode, and introduces another epic battle!

Based on Stephen King’s magnum opus, The Dark Tower is a mysterious building that binds the entire universe together, and bans reining darkness from all worlds. The Man in Black and the Crimson King are desperate to destroy reality and let chaos reign. Roland Deschain is the last Gunslinger, a line of knights from a different Earth. Along with a mysterious boy by the name of Jake Chambers, Roland’s quest and sole purpose is to thwart the Man in Black and save the Dark Tower.  Although The Dark Tower movie was only recently released in theaters, it has caused polarizing reactions from both Dark Tower book fans and critics alike. Therefore, we decided to bring our KA-tet together for a long night of palaver, discuss what we love or loathed in this cinematic adaptation, and craft a story that will do the magnificent Stephen King series justice. Is it even possible, and is it even necessary? Listen in as we boldly Remake The Dark Tower RIGHT! Clips selected from 2017's The Dark Tower.

Does the story need updating? Should characters or motives be tweaked? Do we need more muppets? We take all factors into account, concoct our film, and then offer a Final Pitch to you in movie trailer form. By the end of each episode, we will Remake This Movie RIGHT! Our show is broken down into three distinct parts: The Original: We discuss the original film’s impact, some quick trivia bits, what worked the best from the film and therefore must remain in our upcoming remake, and what didn’t work or what needs to be changed for today’s audiences. The Remake: We put together our movie! What story do we want to tell, how close to the original will it be, who will star, and ultimately who should direct our eventual cinematic masterpiece? Our hosts work together to put together one cohesive movie, but there is one caveat - Each host has one ‘CUT!’ throughout the episode to employ which could completely derail the entire film. The Final Pitch: This is where we summarize our remake by utilizing the voice talents of voiceover artist Wayne Henderson and present our finished remake to you in movie trailer form!

Chris and Eric are joined by Crimson Son author Russ Linton to journey to Mid-World for a look at an adaptation ten years in the making The Dark Tower. The film stars Idris Elba as Roland Deschain and Matthew McConaughey as the Man in Black as Roland attempts to stop the oncoming darkness and save the Dark Tower. It's a lackluster, muddied affair that falls flat and hurts any chances of future adaptations of King's seminal piece.As always, you can follow Chris Stachiw on Twitter at @KultureStach, Eric Kniss at @tychomagnetics and Kulture Shocked at @KultureShocked.

This week, we enter the Dark Tower by diving deep into the latest Stephen King concept to hit the big screen. Before diving into the Idris Elba film, we talk news including the big NetflixDisney shake-up and more! Now to be clear, there will be major Dark Tower spoilers but we’ll give you plenty of...

The Filmlosophers, Eddie Villanueva and Chad Riley, venture into the realm of modern myth-making with their review of the much anticipated film adaptation of Stephen King's The Dark Tower (2017), starring Idris Elba as Roland Deschain, the Gunslinger, and Matthew McConaughey as Walter O'Dim, the Man in Black. After spending many years stuck in development hell, was the new film from director Nikolaj Arcel worth the wait? In movie news, we discuss breaking news from Disney Studios about the projected launch of an all-Disney streaming service in 2019.

Rundown: We review the long-awaited adaptation of Stephen King’s “The Dark Tower,” starring Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey. Does it live up to expectations? The answer is surprisingly long. In our second segment, the men behind HBO’s “Game Of Thrones” announced their next project, a controversial new series called “Confederate,” which is set in the present day and the South had seceded from the Union, and slavery is still legal. We talk about questionable stories and being offended by something you haven’t even seen yet. And speaking of “Game Of Thrones,” Peter Brown from Assignment X joins us to talk about Sunday night’s episode AND last week’s episode since we were on vacation last week.   Topic 1: The Dark Tower and the art of adapting books to film Sit back folks, this one’s going to be a doozy. The 1990s was an era of pipe dreams for nerdy story lovers. While more and more genre movies were being made, they missed as much as hit. It seemed moviemakers just couldn’t trust their source material. This was the era where Joel Schumacher took Batman, the raw materials you could use to make The Dark Knight, and chose to make Batman and Robin. Every time a genre movie was made, Hollywood directors and writers would have to put their stamp on it, discarding what fans loved in the source material and replacing it with Hollywoodized versions even while nerd fans dreamed of well-made, direct adaptations of their favorite works. For every Dick Tracy, there was a Saint (starring Val Kilmer, it was awful). For every Contact, starring Jodie Foster, there was a Judge Dredd, starring Sylvester Stallone. It was a time where the greatest nerd stories ever told were just out of reach. I remember discussions in the back of comic book shops about how great it would be to adapt J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings into a fantasy trilogy, doing for fantasy storytelling what George Lucas did for sci fi in his original Star Wars. Or wouldn’t it be cool if they used Marvel comics as a basis for movies, but did it like they did it in comics so the characters could cross over into each other’s movies. The smart money said those things were never going to happen. But in the early 2000s, Hollywood began to get smart. The did faithful adaptations of The X-Men, then in one glorious year Harry Potter and the first Lord of the Rings book. And they were smashes. The more the learned, the better they did. The Harry Potter series became a classic. The Hunger Games, Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead all showed with the right talent using the respect for the source material could make quality, lucrative movies and shows. But one series stood out, unmade, above many of these. That was Stephen King’s Dark Tower series. Now Stephen King was such a prolific storyteller that there were many undisputed classic movies to his name.. Stand By Me, Misery, The Shawshank Redemption, The Shining, The Dead Zone, Dolores Claiborne, even The Running Man. And the Dark Tower was his magnum opus, his series with the most ardent fans, all begging for a faithful adaptation of this series about a mythic gunslinger traversing a barren, magic filled land to kill a villain who may be the devil himself. Now surely in the era of Game of Thrones, Harry Potter and The Walking Dead, a studio could see its way clear to do a diligent and modern adaptation of this storytelling icon’s most beloved series. In fact plans were announced in 2010, with Ron Howard directing the first in a series of movies which was to adapt King’s books into a series of interlocking movies and short-run, Fargo-like TV series. Akiva Goldsman, hot off his Oscar winning screenplay for Howard’s A Beautiful Mind was to help adapt. And then, this, and then that, and then the Hollywood machine ground the idea more and more until Howard dropped out, the ambition was pared down from a seven or eight movie series to a single movie that wasn’t even based off any of King’s existing books. The Dark Tower, which hit theaters this weekend starring Idris Elba as Roland Deschain, and Matthew McConaughey as the Man in Black, is a story which takes place after the last book in the series. For Goldsman, one of the credited writers and also a writer on Schumacher’s 1990s Batman and Robin, and director Nikolaj Arcel, it’s like the last 20 years didn’t exist. You have one of the most beloved storytellers of the modern era give you eight books of stories, and no, they’re not good enough, you have to replace them with your own story? Did these guys, or Sony, not learn anything from The Lord of the Rings?   Topic 2: HBO’s Confederate and controversy in TV making No script has been written and not a single frame has been shot, but the HBO show “Confederate” is already engulfed in controversy. Created by David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, the men behind “Game Of Thrones” and Nichelle Tramble Spellman, a writer/producer of “The Good Wife” and her husband Malcolm Spellman, a writer and producer of “Empire,” “Confederate” is an alternate-history drama set in modern times in which the South has seceded from the Union, and slavery is legal. Right after the announcement, the Twitterverse was lit up and there were calls for boycotts. A lot of folks don’t love the idea of Benioff and Weiss, two white men who have often faced controversy about “Game Of Thrones” lack of diversity and sexual violence, telling this story, even with the Spellman’s involvement. There are concerns that the timing for this type of show really sucks, because racist Trump supporters are more emboldened than ever. And the flip side, there’s a backlash to the backlash, asking if we’re supposed to offended and start protesting movies and TV shows we haven’t even seen yet? So, yeah, let’s talk about it. Smith, what do you think? Is the outrage premature?

Muy buenas a todos! Después de este tiempo de letargo a causa de la espiral trabajo/vacaciones y el no coincidir, podemos decir oficialmente que hemos vuelto!  Y no lo hacemos de cualquier manera, si no que charlamos largo y tendido de la obra magna de stephen king, o como a él le gusta catalogar: "su magnum opus" hablo, claro está, de La torre oscura.Pero para darle una vuelta de tuerca más, no vamos a hablar de sus novelas, si no que nos centraremos en los cómics, que nos narran como Roland Deschain (protagonista de esta saga) consigue sus revólveres y el tan ansiado título de pistolero, a la vez que podemos apreciar como las circunstancias le hacen madurar a pasos agigantados haciendo mella en su personalidad. Esta precuela es perfecta para cualquier fan de la saga e idónea para quien lo esté descubriendo en estas lineas, para todos ellos, una advertencia ¡Engancha y mucho! jeje. Bien, como os decía, quien conozca ya esta saga podrá encontrar un complemento ideal en los cómics, pues narra todas la aventuras y desventuras de Roland hasta el comienzo de las novelas. Y para quien no conozca estas novelas, esta precuela seria perfecta para adentrarse en Mundo Medio y unirse a la búsqueda de la Torre Oscura (como ha sido mi caso) También, como ya comentamos en el podcast, subo a la nube los 10 volúmenes que hay en español. Podéis pinchar Aquí. o pasaros por el blog de Arsenio Lupín del cual sacamos el material digital. Y ya por último, creo que es conveniente comentar que los 5 primeros volúmenes componen la precuela y los siguiente 5 son la adaptación de las novelas. Por lo que tengo entendido la novela gráfica no morirá aquí, si no que se continuarán adaptando "La torre oscura" en formato grapas y quizás un día Debolsillo nos saque los siguiente volúmenes. La música que se escucha de fondo durante todo el podcast es: Legend - Athanor Waiting for the train - Gregorie Lourme Western fix - Highfield Sound Sombrero s - Eastern Blues Minced Meat BSO - Triphido Farsh Por un puñado de cogollos, Abraham, cannapocapiltic, Abraham Theme2, cannapocapiltic 2  de Pepe Frias  Todo ello música libre de Jamendo. ¡Un saludo a todos y gracias por escucharnos! ¡Hasta la próxima! Yo soy Raúl y ésto es Eld20

Hello! A picture-book has text, and a textbook has pictures...  I think there is both a fat chance AND a slim chance that the person who is in charge of naming things is at all logical.   In this Book Bwednesday I discuss: Night Watch by Terry Pratchett, and Wolves of the Calla: Book Five of the Dark Tower Series by Stephen King.

Hello! "Why did the dead baby cross the road?" Is a question asked by many... Including Eddie Dean a member of Roland Deschain's Ka-Tet in Stephen King's Dark Tower series.  Specifically in Book # 4 "Wizard and Glass" which just so happens to be the subject of this Book Bwednesday podcast!  BAM!
