I didn’t realize they were making a movie of that Stephen King story till I saw an ad for it. I need to check it out. I also might try the new Walking Dead show, but since I didn’t finish the whole first series, I can’t decide. And I can’t remember if I saw The Pope’s Exorcist or not, but I know it was on my watch list, so will have to see if I can find it to watch somewhere streaming. Thanks for reminding me about that! I’m really excited because Outlander starts back this Friday!
