Join us as we discuss the correlations between The Running Man and The Long Walk in Bachman's world, Josh reveals his headcanon casting for Ben Richards, the foothold that overt racism has in this dystopia, whether this book is science fiction vs action/adventure, one of the most intensely claustrophobic scenes ever written, and we are introduced to the larger than life situation that opens Ben's eyes. Come on down! You're the next contestant on Episode 28, “Slamming Bud Lights".

We’re saying farewell to Ludlow on the final episode covering Pet Sematary. On this episode we’ll be covering the original movie, the sequel, and the remake.
