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, Constable Reader Scott Daly, and I'm joined, as always, by the Angel of the Morning Themself.

It's Mr. Matt Freeman.

How's it going today, Matt?

I'm barfing directly into your face.

And it's cathartic in some way.

It's, yeah, it's a moment of real character growth for me.

Yep.

This week on the show, we have finally reached the end of it, Matt.

This is part 19 of our 19 part coverage of Stephen King's It.

At last, we're here at the end.

It's the final moment, the final episode,

the final adaptation. At last, we get to It chapter two. We're here. Matt, I'm pissed off at you.

I just want you to know that. I want you and I want everyone else to know that I'm pissed off

at you. And here want you to know that. I want you and I want everyone else to know that I'm pissed off of you.

And here's the thing. This sometimes recording this podcast is sometimes a pretty stressful

experience sometimes, you know? Like you want to, you've got like a hundred pages to talk about

and distill and be smart and entertaining,

uh, and bring maybe perhaps new angles to stuff that people have read a hundred times before.

Uh,

and,

and all that pressure is kind of in the back of your head while you're talking into a microphone.
