Tadd and Peter continue on the journey to the Dark Tower as they follow Roland into the cellar to get supplies for the journey ahead. There Roland faces a speaking demon. Along with some Palaver with Jake and eventually a trip down memory lane. They see Cort the hard case who is teaching the children. As well as Hax the cook who has some maleficence afoot. As well as Steven Deschain, the father of Roland. So grab your copy of the Gunslinger and join DTP through a door back to Mid-World.

Hile fellow Ka-Tet, let us palaver. Tadd and Peter come together to have a mini palaver about our very first images of Roland Deschain in the Adaptation. That is right Idris Elba in costume. Along with that they also look into the ever so provocative tweet by Uncle Stevie and discuss briefly what it could mean for the adaptation when the top floor of the Tower is reached by our Gunslinger, if he get’s there at all.

The book club that was promised is still coming at you on Wednesday, this is just a bonus episode because the pictures and the tweet was too much to ignore until the next full Round Table.
