9: GERALD'S GAME (Part 4)
This week our discussion of Gerald's Game continues with chapters 25-33! Jessie is able to, thanks to one part of her memory of Dark Score Lake, devise a plan to escape from the cuffs. You really gotta give her a hand for her inventiveness. We talk about how King uses the events of the Eclipse to fulfill both thematic and narrative purpose (and if it works), the mystery of the Space Cowboy, and King's grusome description of the "degloving" itself. Next week Gerald's Game concludes with chapters 34 through the end of the novel! Discussion Question: It's Mailbag time! Send us your questions.

8: GERALD'S GAME (Part 3)
This week our discussion of Gerald's Game continues with chapters 14-24. Jessie's struggles continue as she finally confronts the events on Dark Score Lake in 1963. We talk about King's choice to "go there" and not hold back, how the text communicates Tom's intentions despite Jessie's ignorance, and our absolute disgust with everything.

5: OUIJA: ORIGIN OF EVIL
This week Matt and Scott grab their planchette and commune with the spirits of Ouija: Origin of Evil, Mike Flanagan's 2016 prequel to a very successful and very bad film. We chat about Flanagan's remarkable job at taking a silly concept and making a great film out of it, his commitment to making a period film, and his powerful writing.
