📢 Episode Summary: In the latest Round Table Tadd and Peter talk about the Flanagan Carrie wrapping and a social media post calling it "Season 1" and speculate if it was a mistake or a sign of more Carrie to come. Then they talk about Welcome to Derry, Peter's Wife (who is scared of clowns) watching both IT films, and then a bit about what the modern day might offer Pennywise. Then the rest of the episode they dive into their Top 10 King novels for the 20th Century and for the 21st Century also not allowing The Dark Tower to be lumped into a single entry as they tend to do with rankings. 📋Shownotes: darktowerpalaver.com  💬 Join the Conversation: 📫Email: [email protected] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/darktowerpalaver/ Twitter: https://x.com/DarkTowerPod Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/darktowerpalaver/ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/darktowerpalaver.bsky.social Threads: https://www.threads.com/@darktowerpalaver Support the Show:  Patreon: https://Patreon.com/DarkTowerPalaver
