Hi.

My name is Stephen King.

The ice is going to break.

Dead rum.

Bad love.

You guys want to go see a dead body.

But sometimes dead is better.

Hello and welcome back to the Kingcast on the Fangoria Podcast Network. My name is Eric Vesby. And I'm Anthony Bresdenkin. And we are your hosts. Today we return to midworld as we take

another look at the fourth Dark Tower book, Wizard and Glass. Joining us in this journey, our temporary

quartet, if you will, is one of the most reliable faces

in genre today. He's a screenwriter, filmmaker, and actor

who first turned heads as the lead in the Stuart Gordon

approved stage musical adaptation of reanimator, where he

played Dr. Herbert West himself. You've also seen him

in almost human, beyond the gates, the mind's eye, carnage park, and very recently in Joe Lynch's

suitable flesh. Everybody, please welcome Graham Skipper to the Kingcast. Welcome to the show, man.

Hello, hello. Thank you for having me on. Yeah, yeah. Did you do a little curtsey, a little cowboy curtsey? I did. Oh, here I got, I got a tap my neck three times. Yeah, with the three digits. Yes, yeah, three. Or is it my left, my left hand? My left hand. Yeah, that was hugely disrespectful, what you just did. It was. I'm very sorry. I apologize. I apologize. Well, I think we're going to jump right into your Stephen King origin story because I really want to kind of lay the groundwork, lay the foundation of your Stephen King nerdiness before we get into, you know, the very niche. I can always tell when Dark Tower is the subject picked.
