In this bonus episode, we palaver about the first official trailer for Nikolaj Arcel’s adaptation of Stephen King’s magnum opus, The Dark Tower. As longtime fans of Stephen King and The Dark Tower series, Tiny and I take to celebrating the fact that this beloved series is finally making the jump to film. We also talk about the Internet’s reaction to the trailer, Easter eggs, and our expectations for the film.
