Let Us Palaver #8 – The Black House Debrief
About this episode
Nat and Neil discuss the Dark Tower series, analyzing characters and themes while sharing their own opinions and spoilers.
Nat and I stick around in the shadowed recesses of Black House for another half hour, to discuss all the things that Chris got right and wrong – and to make some entirely unfounded claims of our own. It’s overflowing with spoilers for the whole Dark Tower series, so don’t listen if you’re a newbie. We start to ask who is the Crimson King? Would Roland and Jack have gotten along? And we get very grumpy about certain wolves in a certain town further down the road. Enjoy.
