This week, we look at one of the bleakest stories we'll ever cover: Cormac McCarthy's famous 2006 novel, The Road! We'll talk about nuclear winter, the flame of civilization, and the love of a parent. Plus, I'll confess to something truly shocking: How much I hate this book--even while I still respect it. And yes, that scene will get a mention (you know the one, and if you don't, we're going to ruin your day today!). Join us for one of our roughest stories yet, at the end of the world.
The Road can be purchased at Amazon and most booksellers. Or you can check out the film adaptation, currently available on Plex and other streaming services.
