In the Court of the Crimson King

Bloody FM
About this episode

Next week, the Losers will begin their much-anticipated final coverage of The Dark Tower with the first of two book episodes dedicated to the epic 2004 closer. In anticipation, we're unlocking this quirky, spoiler-filled discussion about the Crimson King from way, way back in August of 2020. At the time, we were just wrapping up our book episode on Insomnia, so it felt right to discuss Big Red.


Now, as we reach the Tower, it makes even more sense to head into the Court of the Crimson King. So, join Rockin' Randall Colburn, Dan Caffrey, and Dan Pfleegor as they discuss the King's murky origins, the ways he threads the multiverse, and, most importantly, whether or not they think the King is cool. Again, there will be spoilers -- spotty as their memories are -- so listen at your own risk.
