Round Table #172

📖 Section Covered: Part 3, Chapter 10 Subchapters 15-22   📢 Episode Summary:   In the latest Book Club for Wizard and Glass Tadd and Peter continue into the final chapter of Part 3 and in this episode the boys take out the tankers and ambush Latigo and his men in the desert but rather than taking some shots at Latigo himself they bait him and his men towards Eyebolt Canyon. Latigo has to wake  up some of his men mesmerized by the columns of fire from the tankers that are now going off in a chain reaction; he and Hendricks muster the men to give chase to the boys. Latigo and company muster 80 people and ride hard after the boys heading into the canyon. The boys let their horses go and set fire to the gunpowder then go into the canyon. The Thinny almost takes Cuthbert and Alain but Roland wakes them up and they climb the notch in the canyon wall. Latigo and his men charge into the canyon unaware of the fire starting that will box them in and they drive right into the thinny and are torn apart by the thinny. Roland watches this from above and has a horrible realization, the thinny may have showed him the distant world's to hide a much closer danger, and he hears the words of Rhea and knows Susan is in grave danger.    💬 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

(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!
