Pete and Trevor lace up their shoes and step onto the endless road for this week’s feature: The Long Walk. Adapted from one of Stephen King’s earliest and most enduring stories, the film stars Cooper Hoffman, David Jonsson, Garrett Wareing, Tut Nyuot, Charlie Plummer, Ben Wang, Roman Griffin Davis, Judy Greer, and Mark Hamill.

As a coincidence, we’re also kicking off our new series, Project: The Last Action Heroes, beginning with Arnold Schwarzenegger in The Running Man—another King tale adapted for the big screen, though with a very different kind of energy. 

Next week we will be talking Sylvester Stallone. Comment below or write to firstlookfinalwordpod@gmail.com to suggest what movie best sums up Sly’s action career.
