Show notes

Hey folks, Matt is out sick this week, so I asked my wife, Elyse, to sit down and chat with me for half an hour about The Dark Tower, a series that she has never read. But she decides to guess the plot anyway. I dunno if this is good content or not. But she's the best. I love her. Full Dark Tower spoilers abound!!

Next week, we'll be back to our regularly scheduled programming as The Shining continues with chapters 38-45
