The Stand, Episode 09: The Circle Closes

Happy new year to Lee and Sean! They’re living in the past, having just experienced the advent of 2022. Please don’t spoil any surprises for them. Lee believes there should be a single true time zone. One time for all and all for one time! Also, it would be really great if you, the person who makes this sort of decision, would set that time somewhere around Hawaiian time. She’d really like the extra sleeping hours that would give her. Also, 24 hour time for everybody. No ifs, ands, or buts! The pair have watched The Matrix: Resurrections and there are many thoughts about this captivating and divisive film. Who’s to say if it should have been made? However, it was clearly made with love and care. More films should be so lucky. If only there was more bullet time. In what was streamed this time, finally. Finally, we’ve all reached the final episode of this interminable adaptation. It’s a shame that it’s with an episode that probably didn’t need to happen. Regardless, it wraps up several hanging threads that were left. Unfortunately, it hangs several more. Our dear Stu and Frannie are off on their own journey now, and they’re bringing Kojak. At the very least, that’s a fine way to ride off into the sunset.

The Stand, Episode 08: The Stand

Hey, we all just had our holidays! Ours were nice. What were things like for you? Happy Christmas, New Year, and… Valentine’s Day? There’s been a lot of momentous days lately. Lee is going to build an enormous Mecha-Teddy Bear and will soon be terrorizing some large city in the U.S. Probably New York. She’s going to become a fluffier, mechanized version of Godzilla, and Sean is here for it. Well, so long as she doesn’t try to become a baby Godzilla. Those things are too scary. A giant teddy bear, mecha or otherwise, is a whole lot easier to procure than a working time machine. Sean can back up that assertion. He’s got a good handle on the physics and math that a time machine utilizes, but who’s got the time to make one? And in this economy? The major topic at hand today is the sunk cost fallacy. What is it? How has it affected our lives? The pair are feeling mired in a muck of sunk cost fallacy over having to watch The Stand. They did it to themselves, though, and they’re going to see it through to the end. In what was streamed this time, things are reaching a tipping point out in New Vegas. Our dear compatriots, Glen, Larry, and Ray, have been captured and imprisoned by the terrible citizens of that wretched place. The veil is slowly being lifted from Flagg and his evil influence. A big, ol’ sphere of vengeful lightning makes an appearance, and there’s a big KABOOM on the way. Oh, there’s also some stuff happening in Boulder.

The Stand, Episode 07: The Walk

Sean and Lee are both horn-Lee for Rosamund Pike, which, inevitably, leads to chatting about the new show, The Wheel of Time. Also, who are the people that are going out on Christmas Day to see a movie in the theater? It’s got Sean very confused. Lee quizzes Sean about the new Spider-Man movie, No Way Home. A movie he hasn’t seen yet—a situation he is very bitter about. He doesn’t want anything about the film spoiled, so don’t you dare tell him anything about it! The pair discuss the intricacies of what makes something a cake. Is it the dough? Is it the frosting? Is it some other sort of undefinable aspect of baked goods that does it? Who could ever know? Regardless, Lee’s getting a frosting of the month birthday present next year. Sean is going to start a commune. It’s a secret commune, with the internet and things. You’re not invited. Sorry, not sorry. In what was streamed this time, we’re all going on a long, long, very long walk. A trek that spans a lonely road all the way from Boulder to Vegas. We’ll complain about the journey, meet some dead enemies, and appreciate the friends we grew together with along the way. In the meantime, Nadine is going to be impregnated by the Dark Man and end up looking like she stuck her face in some ghoulish costume makeup. It’s an interesting trip for everyone.

The Stand, Episode 06: The Vigil

Sean burnt his fingers while making a delicious pizza. It nearly ruined his pizza-making experience, which is just about the saddest thing that can happen to a human being. How does one recover from that sort of blow? Lee’s a huge fan of giant animal bones in museums, but she doesn’t know how large they are in the internationally recognized measurement standard of a “Lee.” How many Lees is a giant turtle hanging in whatever museum she visited? We may never know. The pair of them come up with the scariest new horror movie since The Shining or Hereditary. Perhaps it’ll be called The Winnebagoing. Or something like that. We’ll let those Hollywood fat cats come up with the name and marketing materials for this masterpiece. Sean has a hard time with audiobooks, mostly because he has trouble with engaging with them. He’d much prefer listening to a podcast if he’s going to listen to something. He’s got quite the podcast backlog anyway. Those have to be listened to sometime, right? In what was streamed this time, Mother Abigail has gotten loose, and all of Boulder is on the lookout for this old woman. In Vegas, the mysterious and overly masturbatory Trashcan Man makes his first appearance. He’s tasked by Flagg with finding something that will make the biggest BOOM imaginable. Harold and Nadine have a boom of their own in the works, albeit a much smaller one. Who will fall prey to their evil schemes? Hint: it’s someone who doesn’t deserve it. (Blame Stephen King for that one, friend.)
