Hey, it’s 2022! We made it, kind of! Ontario goes back into Stage 2 tomorrow because Omicron spent the last three weeks burning through the population, which means things are currently looking kinda grim.

This is the perfect time, then, for today’s episode of Someone Else’s Movie — in which the absolutely delightful genre maverick Larry Fessenden joins me to talk about Frank Darabont’s 2007 film The Mist, which is the best adaptation of a Stephen King movie right up until the last ninety seconds.

At least, that’s how I feel. Larry — who’s part of the voice cast of the new animated fantasy epic The Spine of Night — has a different take on it, and we explore our differing opinions for about a third of the episode. Trust me, it’s worth tuning in.

You know how it goes: Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Google Play and Stitcher and get the episode immediately, or download it directly from the web. Just something to enjoy while the world closes in on you again.

Oh, but come back on Friday for a whole bunch of new stuff, some of it reasonably flashy! That’ll be fun.
