In this week\u2019s Mindframes, Michael and Dave march into The Long Walk\u2014where Cooper Hoffman broods, David Jonsson keeps the heart beating, and Mark Hamill cosplays as your least favorite PE teacher. Along the way we debate whether dystopias should come with better snacks, why America\u2019s obsessed with televised misery, and if \u2605\u2605\u2605\/5 means we survived\u2026 or just need new shoes.
