The Long Walk with Timothy Simons
Episode 136, Jul 27, 2022, 08:00 AM
Timothy Simons (of Veep fame) joins Wampler and Vespe to break down what could be King's very first masterpiece. Since this is The Kingcast, the serious part of the discussion is sidetracked multiple times along the way for some fun nonsense, like the concept of golf as a bloodsport, grilling the guest on what it was like growing up in Stephen King's backyard, and sharing emotional scars from the truly awful imagery that can be found on the internet.
One of Stephen King's best stories is up for discussion this week. That's right, we're talking about The Long Walk, the dystopian tale and likely Vietnam allegory that has America sending its young men off to die while the adults cheer them on in a cruel contest that can only have one winner.
