1016. Kings of King: The Stand (1994 Miniseries), Part 2

This episode completes the thrilling conclusion of the 1994 ABC television event, The Stand. We covered this as a two-parter, as it’s technically four movie length episodes. For this episode, Michael and Abe discuss the mythological backing of King’s stories, the consequences of the plot, and guess how the real whimper of an ending.
