Round Table #168

(Note please excuse some technical difficulties. Tadd has been working on his computer and despite making sure everything was working an hour or so before the stream it of course went ot shit right as the show started) It is mostly fine but there is a bit of roughness in the first few minutes.) In the latest Round Table Tadd and Peter talk about The Long Walk and a bit about The Institute (Peter has finished it but Tadd has not yet) adaptations. Then dive into the news including Rat is getting another try as an adaptation, Edgar Wright is obviously changing the end of The Running Man (and King approves), Tarantino has maybe the dumbest take on IT we have ever heard, some interesting facts on Salem's Lot to celebrate it's 50th Anniversary, an interview with Tom Gordon on King using him in the book that bears his name, and one guy ranks the top 10 King novels in two lists one for the 20th and another for the 21st century. We will be doing our own version of these two lists next time so email yours in if you want to be a part of it! We also had some Uncle Stevie Recommends and a new poster for The Running Man.  Engage with the show by Email (show at the name of the show with no spaces dot com) or Social Media!
