The Green Mile (1999 Film) | Evil Has Many Faces

Frank Darabont's second adaptation of Stephen King's work returns to the prison yard, but this time things get supernatural. In episode 388, join Luke Elliott & James Bailey as they consider the different kinds of villains the story presents and how they interact with one another, look at the role of the "present day" framework, react to the all-star cast including the performances of Tom Hanks and Michael Clarke Duncan, and finally each cast their vote on which one was better: the book or the movie?
