Step onto death row at Cold Mountain Penitentiary as we revisit Frank Darabont’s haunting masterpiece, The Green Mile. Starring Tom Hanks and Michael Clarke Duncan, this adaptation of Stephen King’s novel blends supernatural mystery with raw humanity, exploring justice, morality, and the miracles that can appear in the darkest of places.

In this episode, I am joined by Phillip Dukarsky and we break down the unforgettable performances, the film’s emotional weight, and the timeless themes that still resonate decades later. From John Coffey’s heartbreaking gift to the cruelty of Percy Wetmore, we explore why The Green Mile continues to stand tall as one of the most powerful films in cinema history. Plus, we test our knowledge with a fun spin on the discussion with Popcorn Roulette.
