On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are really trying to hold back the tears and heartbreak this time. We watched the 1999 film from Frank Darabont, The Green Mile.
If someone had told me before watching this film that a drama about death row inmates in 1930s Louisiana was going to be one of the most devastating things I’ve ever seen…
Well, I think I would have believed them, but I still wouldn’t have been prepared for just how heartbroken I would be by the time the credits started rolling.
Nearly every single character in this masterfully crafted film is able to work their way into your heart. Even Mr. Jangles, the dear mouse friend of these characters, is a dear friend by the end.
Now Percy? That sorry sack of hateful crap? Look, I wouldn’t wish harm on anybody else, but I’ll just say I’m not too broken up about what happened to him. Enjoy the episode to find out what that was!
