Summary

Some episodes of Kings of King are very different from our typical approach to unearthing the symbolism and meaning of Stephen King’s adaptations. This is one of those episodes. The movie is Frank Darabont’s The Green Mile (1999). It has a star-studded cast, a competent director, and a critically-acclaimed photographer. Thomas Newman writes another amazing score. Michael hates this movie. Let’s all listen to him rip it a new one.

0:35.3	remember because I paused Green Mile in the middle and Jen was making dinner
0:40.5	and I was singing a Green Mile song, so I'm trying to remember it so I can

0:55.7	it's amazing story, Green Mile, and then it went on from there. But it's an
1:02.9	allegory. I remember I was talking about an allegory, and that is I was singing
1:13.0	sarcastically as you do. So that's the big reveal is I actually don't think
1:19.3	the story is amazing. And that's what I was singing to Jen and what we were
1:24.5	giggling about so smuggly in our elite left coast spyles. So you're starting
1:31.0	to you're certain you said heavy hit. You said is there something you want to say
1:35.3	at the top? And what I want to say at the top is all the kind people who
1:38.9	listen to the show because they love us unpacking things that we love and
1:44.3	people posted on Twitter. They're so excited about the Green Mile episode
1:48.1	because I love Green Mile. I want to warn them. I hate it. This film really for
1:56.7	reason. This is it. And I expect this is the one you'll be I was like I don't
2:02.3	think we'll agree. I think people will be so very surprised by my take. But it's
2:08.0	incredibly negative. Green Mile sweet child. I like this movie. I always say I
2:24.1	love this movie. But I like this movie plenty. And I think that the allegory
2:28.9	aspect of this movie is one of the reasons I like it. I also like October Sky.
