Manage episode 397587537 series 1578399
Stephen King’s Misery is a multi-faceted metaphor for both addiction and toxic fandom, but it’s also a brutal thriller from start to finish. In episode 297, Join Luke Elliott & James Bailey as they uncover the secrets of Annie Wilkes, ask if Paul Sheldon is a King self-insert, take a hard look at the novel’s themes as they come into question at the end, and react to one of the most harrowing scenes they’ve encountered yet. Join them next week for their review of the film by Rob Reiner!
