Screen Kings returns, and we’re off to get our car fixed at the worst possible shadetree mechanic possible. Well, the mechanic is okay, but his dog is mean and ugly. That’s right, it’s time for Cujo! Thrill to our incisive discussion of the movie! Shift uncomfortably in your seat at the mere mention of the word, “cocaine!” Shake your head at Tommy’s great “Literary Agent” character! It’s a lot of fun, and you don’t have to get bitten on the nose to enjoy it. Join Thomas S. Flowers, Jeffery X Martin, and Duncan Ralston for this very special episode of Screen Kings!
