About this episode

Hey, look at that! There's one more gift under the tree: Shake off those post-holiday blues with the Losers as they're joined by The Stand showrunner Benjamin Cavell. The Constant Reader and veteran producer-writer discusses his roots with Stephen King, the narrative hurdles in adapting the apocalyptic epic, casting challenges, behind-the-scenes trivia, and, yes, King's new mysterious coda.
