We continue to struggle with and to love the writing of Henry James.
How bout you?

22.09.2025 15:52 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0THE 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.

New episode is live! After studying King’s novel we set our sights on Flanagan’s adaptation of DOCTOR SLEEP.
youtu.be/natnACvs9P0?...
Heads up: Our episode covering Flanagan's Doctor Sleep has been blocked on YouTube due to copyright infringement, and we've lost our dispute claiming fair use protection. We will eventually upload a clip-free version, but If you're looking to watch/listen to the episode tomorrow, I suggest Spotify.
