Hello everyone and welcome to the Stephen King cast, One Man's Musings on the Works of Stephen King.

Each week I will review one entry in the bibliography of Stephen King and the chronological order of publication.

And I am so happy to be here today to review not a Stephen King publication, but an adaptation of Stephen King's greatest publication.

Of course, I'm talking about 1986's horror masterpiece.

It, this past week, we constant readers, have been beyond fortunate.

Fortune isn't the right word.

Lucky, I guess.

It has just been a great time to be a Stephen King fan because this past weekend, I'm

recording this on Tuesday, September 12th.

So on September 8th, we saw the North American release of Andy Mushieti's adaptation of it.

And if you are listening to this, chances are you saw it because I think that everyone

that has a pulse went to go see it.

And I think that some people might not have a pulse after watching the movie.

And some people that didn't have a pulse rose from the grave to go see the movie.

It was a smash hit, to say the least.

It was everything that we wanted the dark tower to be, but was not in terms of critical and commercial success.

People really seemed to want this movie.

People went out in droves to see this movie, and it is definitely going to garner a sequel,

which is very exciting. So I know you have been patient, everyone.

You have been waiting for my review on social media.

I've been getting some flack and, you know, some understanding.

I mean, there's been some good ribbing, but nothing too hardcore. But yeah, thank you, everyone, for being patient.
