📢 Episode Summary:

In the latest Round Table Tadd and Peter break down and discuss the final few Rounds of March Insanity where there were some upsets and surprises and even an overall winner neither of them could have predicted. Then in the news there is an article that talks about Jake Chambers being the most important character to get right in an adaptation which the boys discuss at length and through this examine aspects of the end of the series, the nature of gunslingers, Susannah’s choice at the end, and Peter finding a pretty critical thing in a re-read of Black House that has potentially huge implications in The Dark Tower Series. Then they cover Heather Graham sharing some information on Flanagan’s Carrie, then Sam Witwer talked a bit about Flanagan’s The Mist, also the Holly series might be coming sooner rather than later (whatever that means exactly), and King saying he thinks he will be forgotten 50 years after his death.

📢 Episode Summary:

In the latest Book Club for Wizard and Glass Tadd and Peter reach the moment the entire book was counting down to. Susan is taken into town on Rhea’s cart and as she sees a farmer she finally understands what she is headed for, and she prays to her father for strength for what is to come. Roland had realized in our last episode that the ball lied to him, and now he demands it from Alain, he takes it out and it shows him Susan in the cart, all while drinking his agony. He watches as the people began to pelt her with cornhusks and rotten vegitables, while they spit at her and while they chant Charyou Tree. Cuthbert and Alain are helpless to break Roland from it as he screams in agony. Then Cordelia and Rhea lead the charge of the town as they put Susan on the bonfire stack and ask she cries out her love for Roland Cordelia (and then Rhea) throw the first torches on the piles. In the end Susan thinks of Roland, remembers the good times, they were well met. Roland is screaming like a gutted animal, the ball only releases him when Cuthbert readies to shoot it, Roland passes out, the boys must leave Hambry for good with Roland in tow. Then we rejoin our ‘modern’ Ka-Tet as the story is told, they marvel it has only been one night, we hear Roland looked into the ball 3 more times. Jake hugs Roland and apologizes that he lost his friend. There are more questions but Roland says they have to move on towards that building that is trouble and in their road.

📖 Section Covered: Part 3, Chapter 10 Subchapters 15-22

📢 Episode Summary:

In the latest Book Club for Wizard and Glass Tadd and Peter continue into the final chapter of Part 3 and in this episode the boys take out the tankers and ambush Latigo and his men in the desert but rather than taking some shots at Latigo himself they bait him and his men towards Eyebolt Canyon. Latigo has to wake  up some of his men mesmerized by the columns of fire from the tankers that are now going off in a chain reaction; he and Hendricks muster the men to give chase to the boys. Latigo and company muster 80 people and ride hard after the boys heading into the canyon. The boys let their horses go and set fire to the gunpowder then go into the canyon. The Thinny almost takes Cuthbert and Alain but Roland wakes them up and they climb the notch in the canyon wall. Latigo and his men charge into the canyon unaware of the fire starting that will box them in and they drive right into the thinny and are torn apart by the thinny. Roland watches this from above and has a horrible realization, the thinny may have showed him the distant world’s to hide a much closer danger, and he hears the words of Rhea and knows Susan is in grave danger.
