Hile Gunslingers, let us Palaver. Tadd and Peter return to the Round Table (Arthur Eld would be pleased) and this time they go through emails talking meeting Stephen King, to being worried about the films, to a newcomers dream cast. Then in the news there is some casting news, some tweets, some Facebook posts, some Instagram posts, and a bunch of set photos as the Dark Tower moves from South Africa to New York City. The biggest highlight is the first really good look at Matthew McConaughey as Randall mother fucking Flagg!

Yeah I misspoke and called Ron Howard the Director, but here is the picture he tweeted out on Saturday. In New York City with Idris in costume as well as a very tanned Nikolaj Arcel.
Next up is a handful of the Idris set photos from New York City, a few even have he and Jake together for our first time as an audience seeing them together.
For set photos last and most certainly not least is Matthew McConaughey in costume as Randall Mother Fucking Flagg,

That is it for this week, but I will leave you with some Hey Jude to say Long Days and Pleasant Nights.
Hile Gunslingers, join the boys in a palaver digging deep into the books of the Dark Tower Series. Tadd and Peter continue on the journey to the Dark Tower as they follow Roland through the last of his flashback to Gallows Hill, then back to the present as he and Jake lay eyes on The Man in Black for the first time in gods knows how long. Then we begin the Oracle.
Also this is a Book Club (sooner than it should be) because vacation season is here and our recording schedule was impacted and we wanted an episode out on time and Book Clubs keep a lot better than Round Tables. Next 3 or so episodes (at least) will be Round Tables.
If you want to be involved in the Book Club discussions just send an email and put Book Club in the header.
Doing the notes in order of what we bring up means that this beauty is the first face you get to see this week. This is one we discussed because Chad Waller is doing prothstetics for the film and this was on his instagram. Turns out it is not for The Dark Tower but figured the finished product might be interesting. If nothing else to see his talent.
Demonic Nun by Chad Waller
Tadd mentions this (starts around 3:20 mark) as an idea for
inspiration for a theme for Blaine the Mono.
An example of the Ennio Morricone’s brilliant work in
The Good The Bad and The Ugly.

Hile Gunslingers, join the boys in a palaver digging deep into the books of the Dark Tower Series. 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.
If you want to join in on the Book Club Palaver email the show and put Book Club in the subject line.
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.

We got together to do a mini-Round Table to discuss the few big news stories and still do the Book Club we promised this episode. Here are the things we looked at.
Join Tadd and Peter for another Palaver. They come together to discuss the newest castings of Katheryn Winnick, Michael Barbieri, and Claudia Kim and discuss how they might fit into the adaptation. They also talk about the cast and crew moving to film in New York City at some point. Then they read a few emails from you the listeners. Then they close it out with their 19 favorite Stephen King stories. So hunker up, set down your gunna and roll a Gunslinger burrito and maybe whittle a bit during this palaver.
