We made it to Hambry, and here our hearts lie broken.
The Dark Tower Deep Dive reaches WIZARD & GLASS. And though we hear a whole different side to @chrispanatier - be warned, middle-aged nostalgia for adolescent love inevitably comes with dick jokes.
Enjoy with our thanks. Merry Christmas all.

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.
