This sucks

THE LONG WALK absolutely rules. An adaptation that completely understands and captures the source material while still doing something new. It’s devastating and brutal and wonderful. Between this and THE LIFE OF CHUCK, it’s a damn good year for King adaptations

It's my birthday, but I want YOU to give YOURSELF a present--go see THE LONG WALK.

Amen.

Episode 3 of The Dark Tower Deep Dive - and we’re finally on the true path of The Beam - as @natcassidy.bsky.social @scribeofhades.bsky.social and myself explore The Waste Lands. Oh you’re gonna get angry… cos one of us is a pain!

“Two Storms” is a staggering work of of genius. I cannot get over how good this episode is on every level.

A lot of people focusing on the 5 TV Seasons and 2 Movies part of this even though that wasn't something stated in the linked interview. It's something Flanagan said way back in 2022 when first announcing The Dark Tower. It's not new info and might also not be accurate. Stop freaking out.

Tomorrow. The Beam beckons.
