Stephen R. Donaldson and the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant
From Series: "StoryMen Season 2"
More guests! Tougher topics! More monsters! The StoryMen are back and better than ever!
The StoryMen look ahead at the summer of 2014. We each pick three films we’re excited for, a guilty pleasure and one we’re punishing each other by requiring them to see. We also talk about Easter – why it’s on such a crazy schedule, our Easter traditions and what this weekend looks like for us this year.
In this Episode:
00:00 – FROZEN and the Top Box Office of All Time
05:00 – What films are you most anticipating this summer?
23:00 – What film will you see this summer that you’re pre-ashamed of?
28:00 – What film must the other StoryMen see as punishment?
37:00 – Easter: Why does it move around so much?
