Summary
Hey Kingslingers! Remember us! We're back for this special bonus episode, taking a look at the newest King adaptation: The Long Walk. We covered this book in season 3 of the show, so you know we had to come back to chat about the movie!
If you miss us, I hope you've checked out Flanagan's Wake where we're still going strong every week. We're currently reading through some Henry James in preparation for our study of Flanagan's The Haunting of Bly Manor. Join us!

| 0:00.0 | Long days, pleasant nights, and welcome to King Slingers, a Doof Media podcast walking through Stephen |
| 0:22.9 | King's Dark Tower series and beyond. I am your host, Scott Daly, and joining me as always, |
| 0:28.8 | he's the headwalker, the best walker, probably I would say the winner of the walking. |
| 0:35.8 | It's Matt Freeman. How's it going today, Matt? Well, the rabbit always wins the race, right? Yeah, that's how that works, right? That's how, that's how Greyhound races work. The rabbit gets first place and then the next dog gets second place. You know, why wouldn't you just bet on the rabbit? I don't understand. That's true. It couldn't be that I misunderstood the point of the rabbit, certainly. No way. |
| 0:57.1 | No way. |
| 0:54.3 | No way at all. Folks, we're back. We're surprised. Hello. |
| 1:01.8 | It's a bonus podcast. We came out of retirement from this feed. Yeah. For one time only. |
| 1:10.9 | That's right. |
| 1:11.2 | One time only until the next time only. |
| 1:14.2 | Um, but you folks, I think everyone suspected that we were not going to be able to |

| 1:24.5 | And that's what we're here to do today. |
| 1:26.3 | Matt and I both have seen the |
| 1:28.6 | newest adaptation of Stephen King's work. This is the adaptation of his 1979, I believe, novel, |
| 1:36.6 | The Long Walk that was actually written much earlier than that. It was written when Steve was a |
| 1:41.3 | little 19-year-old. Matt, this is like one of your favorite books we |
| 1:45.3 | covered. Yeah. And so we had to, we had to do this. So we're here to talk about the long walk. |
| 1:51.8 | Yep. It is one of my favorite books I've covered. I've been looking forward to this adaptation for |
| 1:55.6 | months. And I've been looking forward to this conversation ever since I saw the movie. |
| 2:02.0 | So let's get into it. |
| 2:08.8 | Matt was a dedicated Kingslinger, and he went out and saw the movie last weekend when it was fresh in theaters. |
| 2:14.9 | I unfortunately had to wait until yesterday because, you know, those pesky children, just get in your way. |
