Summary

This week we reach the end of Stephen King's Desperation as we discuss Part 4, Chapter 4 through the end of the book. David brings Johnny back to the side of God, only for the cruel diety to demand one final sacrifice. God is cruel. God is love. God is...both?

Next week: It's an overview episode for Desperation! That means it's mailbag time! Send us your questions!
