Before "The Walking Dead," director Frank Darabont took an unconventional route into the horror genre by turning two of Stephen King's more feel-good stories ("The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Green Mile") into uber-successful films. After that, he was ready to go dark -- which is exactly what he did with his third King adaption, this one based off of the supernatural novella "The Mist."
In this episode, Mike and Brian talk hopelessness, special effects and how they age, camp, God's wrath, the art of dialogue-less scenes, and if "The Mist" deserves a spot in the top five of 2007.
