In this episode, John and Ian delve into Parts 2 and 3 of Stephen King's 'Pet Sematary', discussing its themes of grief, trauma, and the horror elements that permeate the narrative. They explore their changing perspectives on the book as they age, the effectiveness of its storytelling techniques, and the character dynamics that enhance the horror. The conversation also touches on the adaptations of the book, particularly the 1989 film and the 2019 remake, critiquing their faithfulness to the source material. They conclude by looking ahead to their next read, 'The Life of Chuck', and share their dream cast for a potential new adaptation of 'Pet Sematary'.
