Long days, pleasant nights, and welcome to Kingslingers, a Doof media podcast, journeying through Stephen King's Dark Tower series and beyond.

I am your host and Consta Reader Scott Daly and I'm joined, as always, by the man who fears the Reaper, despite the song specifically telling him not to.

It's Matt Freeman.

How's it going a, you know, protesting too much type situation where like if you have to tell me that many times not to fear the Reaper, then there's got to be something to be concerned about there.

No, that's a fair assessment.

Did you see the thing recently where Will Ferrell said that the cowbell skit ruined Christopher Walkins' life?

No.

I didn't actually read the article.

I just saw the headline and I was like, that's fascinating.

Yeah, I'm going to take that headline at utter face value and assume no further nuances behind it.

Absolutely.

This week on the show, we are, oh my God, so excited to take a look at the 1994 miniseries

adaptation of Stephen King's The Stand.

This is part of our victory lap for finishing the stand where we watched this thing and

we're going to talk all about it for the next hour.

So, Matt, I'm really, really excited to do this with you, actually.

Good. Yeah, me too. This will be interesting. Before we get into the show proper, though, we do have a

couple quick announcements. The first one is I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who reached out

and let us know how excited they were about the third season. It was really cool to see everyone's excitement.

And, you know, really it got us.

I think we were already excited, but it got us really excited to get started next year.

For sure.
