I continue my analysis of HBO's masterpiece, this time focusing my attention on the brilliance of Ben Mendelsohn's performance as Ralph Anderson.

In 2020, HBO gave us one of King's adaptations and one of television's most gripping mini series. Stacked with talent and a story woven with delicious writing, we were treated to deeply human story that showed our characters struggle with the unbelie... more

Ahhh, The Mist. It's no surprise that they decided to make a television show considering the impact from the movie, which is still considered to have one of the most divisive and gut punching endings from any movie in history.

On paper, there's a lo... more

In this episode, we say goodbye the Finders Keepers crew. Does the John Rothstein plot wrap up nicely? Does it feel like a fitting ending for our characters?

  • Fun, Passionate … Even If He’s Wrong in a Lot

    Overall, I really like this podcast. Took me too long to find it. Not sure how I missed it. The honest loves Stephen King’s work - and that comes through every episode.

    The only thing I’ll saw after getting through about 7 episodes (lots to go) is that I disagree with a decent amount of his “takes” on some elements of the King catalogue. His scathing review of the 1979 tv mini-series of “‘Salem’s Lot” was just awful in my view. I could barely make it through it. The host sounds like someone wi... more

Finally, with about 12 min left he says let’s talk about Ellen rimbauer. He then sp... more

Episode 228-11/22/63 Episode 7

Yes, it gives Jake's mission a singular purpose, emphasizing that he has only one chance to do it.
