The Mist with Allie Goertz
Episode 262, Dec 18, 09:00 AM
Musician, podcaster, and professional Simpsons nerd Allie Goertz stops by the show to dive into Frank Darabont's adaptation of The Mist and talk about how badass her album of Nine Inch Nails covers titled Peeled Back is. Vespe and his guest explore the politics of regular folks stuck in an impossible situation, how they would each react to being in this horrific situation, and have a long debate about whether or not the fanatical villain of the story, Ms. Carmody, is actually right about the origins of the threat that faces them all.
Stephen King's The Mist is a novella about the residents of a small Maine town stuck in a grocery store as an unnatural mist rolls into town concealing all sorts of Lovecraftian horrors. Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile) made a very divisive, but hugely effective, adaptation in 2007.
