Storm of the Century
The Cane Mutiny
Stephen King turned ABC-TV into the Weather Channel with his three-night prime-time event: Storm of the Century.

Can Tim Daly stop the future Frost Giant from terrorizing his community with more success than Wings co-star Steven Weber, who played Jack Torrence in the network’s previous King miniseries The Shining? Listen Now as Arnie, Jakob, and Stuart give you what you want! -

And does Mick Garris (The Stand) have anything in his bag of directing tricks to help this quiet story of grief and writer’s block take root as a TV ratings event? Arnie, Jakob, and Stuart spell it out for you now! -

And is new director Lance Mungia a total birdbrain for plucking the black feathers off this Goth franchise so that it now resembles a hipster Spaghetti Western?
