Two Guys to the Dark Tower Came: A Podcast about Stephen King and His Books analyzes King's works. Hosts Jay Russo and Sean McGurr explore novels, short stories, and movie adaptations. For novels, the podcast dedicates episodes to several chapters at a time. Russo and McGurr then examine the book section by section. Most short stories span one episode, and some episodes even fit two stories in. Russo and McGurr also offer movie reviews of King adaptations. They explore successes like The Shining and less successful ones like The Dark Tower.

Russo and McGurr are massive fans of King's work, as one would expect. The podcast's title is an homage to Robert Browning's poem "Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came." The poem inspired King's eight-book The Dark Tower series. The series ties together many of King's famous works like Salem's Lot and The Stand. The epic spans the horror, Western, fantasy, and sci-fi genres. The series follows Roland Deschain, a kind of knight called a gunslinger, as he travels through a desolate future world in search of The Dark Tower.

The podcast starts with a chronicling of The Dark Tower series. Then, it discusses expansive novels like The Talisman, another of King's fantasy epics. Russo and McGurr also analyze the short story collection Everything's Eventual. Some stories tie to The Dark Tower series in a direct fashion, like "The Little Sisters of Eluria." Others, like "1408," are stand-alone tales of terror. Whatever story the podcast features, King fans can expect a detailed discussion. Russo and McGurr summarize the plot, share theories, and analyze the themes.

Russo and McGurr wrap up each episode with a "Fun Stuff" segment. They give their final thoughts and notes on the piece that didn't fit into the serious discussion. They take listener feedback and questions on special episode releases, too. Many fans of King may enjoy Two Guys to the Dark Tower Came: A Podcast about Stephen King and His Books.
