A mega-ep of JKT for you all. A culmination of our show's "method" and the way it structures our understanding of King's work, what it means, and how his legacy informs and reflects our world. Next up: more reading! But the books will be different. They always are.

i've read a lot of books and i don't think i've encountered anyone who loves to rapidly and totally derail a protagonist's life at the exact midpoint of a novel like Mercedes Lackey does (and the fact she can get away with it really says something about her skill)

This was an unexpected but important opportunity for me, as McDowell is a writer I admire a lot. He was also a gay man who lived with and died from AIDS, and in his original draft did not shy away from the AIDS subtext of the original story--all but erased in the final film.

A few years ago, thanks to generous @rangedtouch supporters, I was able to purchase at auction a copy of author Michael McDowell's original screenplay for the film adaptation of THINNER. I finally got around to scanning it and have uploaded it here: https://t.co/vwbzRth8FA
