  Episode #389

  New Episode-Mr. Mercedes (Season 3, Episodes 1-5)

  Aug 18, 202634 min

  Pulling from the second novel, Finder's Keepers, as the source material for this season, we pick up with Bill and company as they explore the legal and emotional fallout from Lou's execution of Brady Hartsfield while simultaneously dealing with the investigation of the murder of famed local author, John Rothstein. The big question for this season is if it will be able to hold audience's attention now that the villain of the show has been written out, especially coming off of a wild, sci-fi/supernatural twist. Does the show still have gas in its tank? Or has it stalled out? Find out!

  Episode #387

  New Episode-Mr. Mercedes, Season 2 (Episodes 1-5)

  Jul 30, 202638 min

  In this episode, I dive back into David E. Kelly's wonderful adaptation of a book series that I had struggled with. But watching this show continues to blow me away. The steady hands on the wheel, one hand by Kelly and the other by legendary TV director, Jack Bender, keep this show on the road. And it's one centered by an exceptional performance by Brendan Gleason, who not only brings Bill Hodges to life, but improves upon his character in ways that I am grateful for. It's a lesser talked about King adaptation, but it's truly one of the better ones. So I'm thrilled to continue to spend time with these characters and explore the world of Mr. Mercedes.

  Episode #386

  New Episode-Big Driver (2011)

  Jul 25, 202653 min

  In this episode, I read some listener e-mails, address some feedback and discuss why you've been hearing ads on the podcast and the promotion of the Patreon feed. I thought that you should all get a peek behind the curtain, and I wanted to be as transparent as possible. With all of that out of the way, I dive into the adaptation of Stephen King's Big Driver, a Lifetime movie starring Maria Bello. Please note that this review discusses sexual assault, and violence towards women. It's the reason why I never reviewed the movie before now, and if you don't want to spend your time in this headspace, I completely understand. But at the very least, I wanted everyone to be prepared for the subject matter.

  Episode #385

  Bonus Episode: Westeros, Game of Thrones and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms

  Jun 29, 20261h 11m

  Hello, everyone! I know that I didn't put out a new episode last week, but I still wanted to make sure that you had something from me, so in this episode, you get a full, free episode that I recorded earlier this year. With HBO's House of the Dragon having just returned, I thought it was appropriate to publish my original review on the first four episodes of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. More importantly, I examine my relationship with this world, its books, and even wade into the raging waters of the finale of A Game of Thrones.
