Hey everyone! We are so unbelievably excited to share this with you all. Last Saturday, Matt and I got the opportunity to virtually sit down with Mike Flanagan for a lengthy chat about... pretty much everything. We talked about the miracle that was Midnight Mass, his time with Netflix and what he learned, adapting Henry James, why he decided to take on Carrie, and, of course, some of his feelings about his forthcoming Dark Tower adaptation. This was such an absolute joy for us, and we thank Mike and everyone on his team who helped make it happen. And of course, all of you guys for being with us on this journey. Hope you enjoy it!
