Wil Wheaton’s reading of Stephen King’s The Body made for the perfect companion while I did yard work and walked my dog along nearby trails. Having played Gordie in Stand by Me, he brings a deeply personal resonance to the narration. It feels like a full-circle moment, Wheaton returning to the story with an insider’s emotional memory. At times, he subtly echoes the cadences of his former co-stars, suggesting their presence without slipping into imitation. The result is a layered, affectionate performance grounded in shared history and lived experience.
