Speaker 1: The Stand Mini Series, Part three, The Betrayal. I just
0:24
Speaker 1: recently picked up a copy of The Stand. I listened
0:27
Speaker 1: to the audio book, and now we're going to we're
0:30
Speaker 1: going to do the real deal. I just got started
0:33
Speaker 1: on it, so I'm a few chapters in. Hopefully I'll
0:37
Speaker 1: be able to make enough episodes about The Stand mini
0:41
Speaker 1: series long enough for me to finish this big bastard.
0:44
Speaker 1: We'll see if that's going to be possible. I'm gonna
0:46
Speaker 1: have to come up with a lot of bullshit to
0:48
Speaker 1: talk about with the ABUC nineteen ninety four mini series,
0:52
Speaker 1: The Stand. If I'm going to ride this thing out
0:55
Speaker 1: long enough to finish this damn book. I think the
0:58
Speaker 1: audio books like forty eight hours long, so I don't
1:03
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna finish this in that same amount of time.
1:06
Speaker 1: I was able to kind of cruise through the audio book.
1:08
Speaker 1: You know, anytime you're doing chores, anytime you're driving, you
1:11
Speaker 1: just throw the fucking thing on. You knock out a
1:13
Speaker 1: few hours here and there. Before you know it, it's done.
1:17
Speaker 1: Part three of the mini series covers Book two of
1:21
Speaker 1: The Stand. It's basically just showing everything that's going on
1:24
Speaker 1: in the Boulder, Colorado, free Zone. I think we get
1:28
Speaker 1: a couple short glimpses at Las Vegas at Flag Vegas,
1:32
Speaker 1: if you know what I'm saying. Flag Vegas is so
1:35
Speaker 1: confusing to me because he's like, he's not the devil,
1:38
Speaker 1: but he's like the Devil's imp or something like that,
1:41
Speaker 1: I think is how it's described. And he hates when
1:45
Speaker 1: people do bad shit. He like kills them for drinking
1:49
Speaker 1: too much or like doing drugs. Like I just remember
1:52
Speaker 1: a part in the book when he finds out that
1:54
Speaker 1: this guy's doing drugs, so he like he crucifies him
1:58
Speaker 1: on a telephone poll or he wipes his brain so
2:01
Speaker 1: that he just wanders around aimlessly in the desert for
2:04
Speaker 1: the rest of his life with his brain scrambled, just
2:07
Speaker 1: for doing too many drugs. And it's like, aren't you
2:10
Speaker 1: the aren't you the devil? Aren't you supposed to love
2:12
Speaker 1: that shit? Shouldn't you be fucking partying with these guys too?
2:16
Speaker 1: What are you some kind of straight edge devil? Fuck
2:18
Speaker 1: fucking pussy. I'm going to try to avoid talking about
2:22
Speaker 1: the book too much, though, because I realized in my
2:25
Speaker 1: last episode, after I started reading the book again, that
2:28
Speaker 1: I've already completely forgot how some of the things went
2:32
Speaker 1: in the book Compared to the mini series. I think
2:34
Speaker 1: some of the ways that I imagined Fran's character in
2:38
Speaker 1: the book were quite a bit different, like her interaction
2:41
Speaker 1: with Jesse. Basically, everything about the book is just way
2:44
Speaker 1: more detailed. So I'm just gonna we're gonna avoid the
2:47
Speaker 1: book again. Although I didn't do a good job of
2:50
Speaker 1: it last time, I am going to do a good
2:52
Speaker 1: job at this time. I promise There's no way I'm
2:55
Speaker 1: gonna fuck that up this time. One thing I didn't
2:59
Speaker 1: mention in the last episode does the In part two
3:01
Speaker 1: you do get to see Randall Flegg's jugs, and they
3:04
Speaker 1: are pretty big. He might have the biggest jugs besides
3:07
Speaker 1: Mother Abigail in the whole movie, in case you're wondering.
3:11
Speaker 1: In case you're wondering who has the biggest chugs, it's
3:14
Speaker 1: probably Randall flags jugs. Okay, So episode three, it starts
3:18
Speaker 1: out they're just doing an operation. There's no like leading
3:22
Speaker 1: into it or anything. It just abruptly cuts to Stu
3:25
Speaker 1: and his party. They're taking this guy's appendix out. And
3:29
Speaker 1: this is one of the things about this whole Captain
3:32
Speaker 1: Tripp's Plague that is very scary that you would probably
3:36
Speaker 1: slowly start to realize that, like, damn, I can't I
3:40
Speaker 1: can't like break my leg, I can't do anything to
3:44
Speaker 1: get hurt or be in like a compromised state, like
3:48
Speaker 1: just having your appendix burst or you know, get ready
3:51
Speaker 1: to burst or whatever. It's like, well, if you don't
3:54
Speaker 1: have a doctor around, and you don't have a hospital
3:56
Speaker 1: to do a sterile operation, and you're probably fucked, You're
4:00
Speaker 1: probably gonna have a real hard time getting through that.
4:03
Speaker 1: Plus the aftermath. Yikes. That one really hit home. I
4:07
Speaker 1: about had my appendix burst one time, and I just
4:10
Speaker 1: kept putting it off and putting it off because I
4:13
Speaker 1: didn't realize what was going on. I just thought my
4:15
Speaker 1: stomach was hurting for I don't even know why. It
4:18
Speaker 1: was just like every couple of weeks, my stomach would
4:20
Speaker 1: hurt really bad, and it got to the point where
4:22
Speaker 1: I was just like carrying around a bottle of pepto
4:24
Speaker 1: bismol with me, and I would just be drinking like
4:26
Speaker 1: straight from the bottle, like a fuck, just like this.
4:30
Speaker 1: At the same time, it felt like there was an
4:31
Speaker 1: animal inside my belly trying to crawl its way out,
4:34
Speaker 1: trying to chew out of my stomach. He got to
4:37
Speaker 1: the point where I was just at work and I
4:39
Speaker 1: couldn't walk anymore. That's all I could do, was like
4:42
Speaker 1: hunch over. And I was like, oh, fuck, I think
4:44
Speaker 1: I need to go home, and they're like, yeah, you
4:46
Speaker 1: probably should. So I just went home and like laid
4:48
Speaker 1: on the couch for a while and was like, I
4:49
Speaker 1: think I fucking died. And then eventually, you know, went
4:54
Speaker 1: to the hospital. They're like, yeah, your appendix is about
4:56
Speaker 1: the burst. Motherfucker, we needed to prep you for surgery
4:59
Speaker 1: right now. And they and they took it out and
5:01
Speaker 1: it was great. And that's the difference between this the
5:04
Speaker 1: stand world that we're living in in this movie. This
5:07
Speaker 1: guy fucking dies, they're doing the operation on him, and
5:09
Speaker 1: Stu's got like an old medical textbook out and he's
5:12
Speaker 1: just like, get the god damn it, get this fucking
5:14
Speaker 1: thing out of my face. God damn it looking pissing
5:19
Speaker 1: me off? Can I stand that fucking thing? Fucking goddamn it.
5:22
Speaker 1: Pop filter, motherfucker. Oh sick of it. Honestly, fucks god
5:29
Speaker 1: damn it. Never again am I ever getting a fucking
5:32
Speaker 1: buying a pop filter? What a waste of what a
5:35
Speaker 1: fucking scam. Pop filters are when you think about it,
5:39
Speaker 1: all these studio bitches talking about, oh, you gotta have
5:42
Speaker 1: a pop filter otherwise your PE's are gonna sound bad.
5:44
Speaker 1: Who fucking cares. Shut the fuck up, motherfuckers. Anyway, Stu's
5:49
Speaker 1: doing the operation. He's looking through like a textbook, like
5:52
Speaker 1: probably a school book or something, and he's like, all right,
5:55
Speaker 1: gotta snip you here and gotta snip your hare. And
5:57
Speaker 1: before this, Stu worked at a cowlator factory, so he's
6:01
Speaker 1: probably the most qualified person to be doing this, to
6:04
Speaker 1: be honest, it basically just boils down to Stu's the hero.
6:07
Speaker 1: Stuve's got that hero mentality where he's just like, somebody's
6:11
Speaker 1: got to do it. Fucking Stu's gonna step up and
6:13
Speaker 1: do that shit. You need your appendix taken out. Lay down, motherfucker,
6:17
Speaker 1: we're gonna take it out. It is a really like
6:19
Speaker 1: heavy scene though, because I think it's his uh, I
6:22
Speaker 1: don't know if it's his wife or his girlfriend or something.
6:24
Speaker 1: The guy that's having the appendix taken out of him
6:27
Speaker 1: is just kind of like cradling his head while it's happening,
6:30
Speaker 1: and Stu's still trying to figure out like exactly what
6:33
Speaker 1: to do. You know, he's got the guy cut open,
6:34
Speaker 1: and he's like, all right, I just got to snip
6:36
Speaker 1: here and snip here and then we'll take this shit
6:39
Speaker 1: out in The lady's like you can stop now, and
6:41
Speaker 1: Stu's kind of like, what do you mean We're almost done,
6:43
Speaker 1: and he's like she's like he's dead, and they just
6:46
Speaker 1: cover him up and Stu is like, mother fuckerr and
6:49
Speaker 1: he just like fucking throws his scalpels across the floor
6:52
Speaker 1: the fucking room and he's just like, son of a bitch.
6:55
Speaker 1: It's like he's working and it's like he's someone's dad
6:58
Speaker 1: working on a car or something like. He's like hold
7:01
Speaker 1: the fucking flashlight, steady. And they're just like, sorry, stew
7:05
Speaker 1: he died. So they leave there. You know, Franny's fucking upset.
7:08
Speaker 1: Everybody's upset. They're just like, son of a bitch. That sucks.
7:12
Speaker 1: We thought we were gonna say this guy, it would
7:14
Speaker 1: not be fun at all to just have to try
7:16
Speaker 1: to figure out how to do a surgery on somebody,
7:18
Speaker 1: like pop up surgery. Here you go, you know, start
7:22
Speaker 1: the clock. It's like one of them, damn cooking shows
7:24
Speaker 1: or whatever where they surprise you with a dish and
7:26
Speaker 1: they're like, you gotta make this dish in sixty seconds
7:29
Speaker 1: or whatever, and they put the timer on and Jordan
7:32
Speaker 1: Ramsey's just fucking screaming at you the whole time. Goddamn motherfucker,
7:36
Speaker 1: make the fucking food. That's what's happening to Stu right now.
7:39
Speaker 1: But he's like, I gotta take his fucking appendix out. Dude.
7:42
Speaker 1: I'd be sweating all over that guy's fucking cut open body.
7:45
Speaker 1: I'd be sitting there fucking dripping in him. He would
7:47
Speaker 1: definitely get infected if I had to cut his damn
7:49
Speaker 1: appendix out. Don't ever let me do that shit. I
7:52
Speaker 1: would not like it. So they get out of there,
7:54
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, we see a pivotal character join
7:59
Speaker 1: the party. The He's another great character, doesn't get as
8:03
Speaker 1: much screen time as I think that he deserves. The
8:06
Speaker 1: Judge doesn't get as much screen time. Old Judge doesn't
8:09
Speaker 1: get enough screen time. In my opinion, I think he
8:12
Speaker 1: should be in this movie more. I like the Judge
8:14
Speaker 1: a lot as a character. You know, he pops up,
8:16
Speaker 1: he's pretty cool. He does say some cool shit, but
8:20
Speaker 1: he not in the movie that much, at least, like
8:22
Speaker 1: as far as we're seeing right now. During this section
8:25
Speaker 1: of the book, he was popping up a lot more
8:27
Speaker 1: and had a lot more to say. So, but we
8:29
Speaker 1: got the judge, and I think that's pretty great, So
8:32
Speaker 1: good for us. So they're just kind of hanging out,
8:34
Speaker 1: you know, riding their motorcycles and shit, going on their
8:37
Speaker 1: way to Boulder, Colorado. They're hauling ass, and at some
8:41
Speaker 1: point Stu kind of goes off to go fishing or something.
8:44
Speaker 1: He's like still pissed off about the guy that died
8:47
Speaker 1: with the appendix, and he's just like, son up a bitch,
8:50
Speaker 1: you know, I better go fish relieve some of the
8:52
Speaker 1: stress in my head. And Frannie finds him and she's
8:55
Speaker 1: just kind of like, Stu, I gotta tell you something.
8:57
Speaker 1: And he's like what's up. And she's like, I'm pregnant
9:01
Speaker 1: and he's just like nice, that's pretty cool. And then
9:04
Speaker 1: they make out and they make out the same way
9:06
Speaker 1: that Jim Carrey makes out with Mary and Dumb and Dummer,
9:10
Speaker 1: Like when they their face is just kind of like, uh,
9:15
Speaker 1: that whole face is just kind of like sucking to
9:16
Speaker 1: each other, you know what I'm saying. It's kind of
9:19
Speaker 1: like one of those type of makeout sessions, which you know,
9:22
Speaker 1: that's that's kind of what you expect when you make
9:25
Speaker 1: out next to a cooler full of dead fish, You're
9:28
Speaker 1: gonna get some quality kissing. But Harold sees this or whatever.
9:33
Speaker 1: You know, Harold's kind of spying around. He thinks something's up.
9:36
Speaker 1: He knew stuw is gonna steal his bitch from day one,
9:38
Speaker 1: so he's just been like on that motherfucker, Stu Redman.
9:41
Speaker 1: He's always stepping up to the plate and doing all
9:44
Speaker 1: the right shit, and I'm just like an evil little
9:46
Speaker 1: prick that just wants free pussy. And I think I
9:50
Speaker 1: mentioned this in the last episode. This is kind of
9:52
Speaker 1: that thing where you see why it's so confusing. If
9:55
Speaker 1: you haven't read the book, you see why it would
9:57
Speaker 1: be really confusing as to like they can he kind
10:00
Speaker 1: of seem like a couple at this point. Anyway, you know,
10:02
Speaker 1: they just start making out after Stu hears this news
10:05
Speaker 1: and he seems really happy about it. You kind of
10:08
Speaker 1: get the feeling that like, oh, it's probably Stu's baby,
10:11
Speaker 1: you know, but it's not. It's Jesse's baby. At least
10:14
Speaker 1: I'm almost I mean it is in the book. It's
10:16
Speaker 1: Jesse's baby in the book. I'm pretty sure it's still
10:19
Speaker 1: Jesse's baby in the movie. They just don't really, at
10:21
Speaker 1: least at this point, don't really talk about it that much.
10:24
Speaker 1: And for whatever reason, they go out and they're just like,
10:28
Speaker 1: you know, Harold sees them fucking in the woods or whatever,
10:31
Speaker 1: and he is just mad as hell, like he's he
10:34
Speaker 1: basically just does that thing where he's like watching him
10:36
Speaker 1: and he's like and he fucking grabs like a stick
10:40
Speaker 1: in his hand and he fucking breaks it, and he's like, God,
10:43
Speaker 1: damn it, I was supposed to be me. But he
10:47
Speaker 1: just walks off and he's like polishing his motorcycle or
10:50
Speaker 1: he's he's trying to do something. He's like trying to
10:52
Speaker 1: add like a like a sippy cup holder to his
10:55
Speaker 1: motorcycle because he's a fucking little baby. He's just like
10:58
Speaker 1: fucking with wrenches and stuff. And Stu and Fran they
11:00
Speaker 1: walk up and for whatever reason, they're just like holding
11:03
Speaker 1: the hands, you know, like acting like happy as hell,
11:06
Speaker 1: and they're just like, Harold, we got some damn news
11:08
Speaker 1: for you. And he's just like, oh yeah, what's going on?
11:12
Speaker 1: And they're just like, Fran's pregnant and he just looks
11:15
Speaker 1: at me. He's like, huh eat, I like that, and
11:19
Speaker 1: he's just they're just kind of like, oh, okay, well
11:22
Speaker 1: that's cool, you know. And he's just like, yeah, I'm
11:25
Speaker 1: really happy. And also I know that you guys are
11:28
Speaker 1: dating or whatever you want to call it right now
11:30
Speaker 1: bucking in the woods a bareback style, and they're just like, yeah, okay,
11:35
Speaker 1: you're okay with that too, and he's like, I am.
11:38
Speaker 1: I am okay with it, and I'm very happy. And
11:40
Speaker 1: he like does this thing where he goes over to Fran.
11:42
Speaker 1: He's just like just so you know, Fran, I love you,
11:45
Speaker 1: and he kisses her on the cheek and then he
11:48
Speaker 1: looks at Stu and he's just like still friends, right,
11:51
Speaker 1: and Stud's like, yeah, I don't give a shit, Give
11:54
Speaker 1: a shit, bitch, kiss around the cheeks all you want,
11:56
Speaker 1: you little bitch. And they're just like great Off the Bull, Colorado.
12:01
Speaker 1: But before we go to Boulder, Colorado, we need to
12:03
Speaker 1: stop in Las Vegas and see what's going on here.
12:06
Speaker 1: And like I said before, it's like a damn mushroom
12:09
Speaker 1: head concert the whole time. It's basically like the gathering
12:12
Speaker 1: of the jugglows going on in Las Vegas, like twenty
12:15
Speaker 1: four to seven. It's a shithole, but we do see
12:18
Speaker 1: that people are starting to clean it up. They're cleaning
12:20
Speaker 1: it up in like the most insane clown posse way possible,
12:23
Speaker 1: though it just looks very dirty still. It's like they're
12:26
Speaker 1: cleaning it and for some reason, it's almost making it worse.
12:29
Speaker 1: It's like, now, just leave the trash and the dead bodies.
12:32
Speaker 1: You guys don't need to be touching all that shit.
12:33
Speaker 1: You guys are kind of fucking doing a terrible job,
12:36
Speaker 1: to be honest. Maybe that's why Randall Flake's so like
12:38
Speaker 1: strict about discipline. He just shows up and he's like,
12:41
Speaker 1: fuck you guys, why do I got all these fucking
12:43
Speaker 1: idiots that can't even clean up the fucking streets, right fuckers.
12:47
Speaker 1: He's just got like everybody that's covered in motor oil
12:51
Speaker 1: for some reason and like has fucking dirt and shit
12:54
Speaker 1: all over their faces. Oh no, it's like everybody in Boulder,
12:57
Speaker 1: Colorado looks clean as hell and like they been taking
13:00
Speaker 1: bass and shit. But everybody in Las Vegas is like
13:03
Speaker 1: a dirty fuck and it's hilarious. Ah shit, maybe that's
13:09
Speaker 1: why Randall Flag's so pissed off the whole time. He's
13:12
Speaker 1: like spying on Boulder Cut and he's like, motherfuckers look
13:15
Speaker 1: like they actually smell good, and shit, what the fuck?
13:17
Speaker 1: Their houses are like decorated and kind of normal looking.
13:21
Speaker 1: Everybody over here looks like a goddamn fucking freak. Trash
13:28
Speaker 1: Can man, he wakes up in a hotel room and
13:30
Speaker 1: he's like, holy fuck, I'm I'm in Las Vegas. I
13:33
Speaker 1: made it or whatever, you know. So he opens up
13:35
Speaker 1: his hotel blinds or something, or his curtains, you know,
13:38
Speaker 1: looks outside. This is the worst effect in the movie
13:40
Speaker 1: so far. Trash Can Man opens up his window and
13:43
Speaker 1: he sees that outside is a Windows ninety eight screensaver
13:47
Speaker 1: of Egypt. For some reason. It's like these fucking taj
13:51
Speaker 1: Mahal and pyramids and shit. But it like you can
13:54
Speaker 1: also see like a bunch of fucking like, you know,
13:56
Speaker 1: spaceships bouncing around or something like it's a screen saver.
14:00
Speaker 1: Because it looks like a fucking screensaver for some reason,
14:03
Speaker 1: why don't they just like take a video outside the
14:05
Speaker 1: actual window they shot, you know, they're shooting on location
14:08
Speaker 1: and shit, it must have been something they did like
14:10
Speaker 1: post production where they're like, well, we need this shot
14:14
Speaker 1: of fucking trash can man looking at his window. It's
14:16
Speaker 1: very very important, and they're like, oh yeah, yeah, good point.
14:20
Speaker 1: I got just a thing. I've got a really good
14:23
Speaker 1: digital artist who can fucking hook you up with a
14:26
Speaker 1: great effect out the window that makes it look like
14:29
Speaker 1: he's in Egypt for some reason. So, uh, Lloyd and
14:32
Speaker 1: the rat Man walk into trash can Man's room. Some
14:36
Speaker 1: of the names in this though, I mean, like I
14:39
Speaker 1: all the characters are great. Part of me wonders like
14:42
Speaker 1: when you're calling one character the rat Man and you're
14:45
Speaker 1: calling another character the trash can Man. There's another character
14:49
Speaker 1: in the book called the Kid too. Some of the
14:51
Speaker 1: names I do just like start to question a little bit,
14:54
Speaker 1: like are you just getting kind of fucking tired of
14:56
Speaker 1: having to name all these damn characters? And you're just like,
14:59
Speaker 1: how about the cool guy man? Like that's Stephen King
15:01
Speaker 1: in this room. He's just like, this guy's name is
15:04
Speaker 1: gonna be a black guy, black man. Well, you do
15:07
Speaker 1: have a dark man actually, and he's gonna be the
15:11
Speaker 1: Chinese man. He's gonna come up and he's gonna be Chinese.
15:15
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know. He this guy's name
15:19
Speaker 1: is the apple Man and he likes apples. He has
15:22
Speaker 1: apples with him all the time, and he eats him
15:25
Speaker 1: and he's a bad guy because he lives in Las Vegas.
15:27
Speaker 1: Let me sink, are there any other characters like that
15:30
Speaker 1: with the silly fucking names. Well, there is something. There's
15:33
Speaker 1: like these three guys in the book whose names are
15:35
Speaker 1: like Morgan, Gorgan and Dorgan or something like that, and
15:38
Speaker 1: I don't think they like I can't remember if they're
15:40
Speaker 1: related or not. But it's another one of those things
15:42
Speaker 1: where it's like motherfucker had to just been like sick
15:45
Speaker 1: of naming all these characters. He's just like, this guy's
15:48
Speaker 1: name is Chad Horgan, and this other guy down here
15:51
Speaker 1: down the road, his name is Brad Dorgan, and this
15:55
Speaker 1: other guy down the road his name is Tad Morgan.
15:58
Speaker 1: It does it's a It's either that old Stevie King
16:01
Speaker 1: has a pretty good sense of humor or he's just like,
16:04
Speaker 1: I don't fucking know, I'm just gonna let me just
16:07
Speaker 1: pull up a name generator in my brain and fucking
16:10
Speaker 1: start naming all these characters. Let's let's see it. Look
16:13
Speaker 1: at old Stevie on the back of this book real quick.
16:15
Speaker 1: That looks like the guy that would come up with
16:17
Speaker 1: some names like that. Yeah, they meet Lloyd. They're just like, hey, Lloyd,
16:21
Speaker 1: put on some better clothes. Your clothes are shitty. They're
16:23
Speaker 1: fucking covered in shit. You've been walking around the desert
16:26
Speaker 1: shit in your pants all day for the last few weeks.
16:29
Speaker 1: So they give him some cool clothes. He's got, like,
16:31
Speaker 1: you know, a silk shirt on with dragons and stuff,
16:34
Speaker 1: and some trip pants to join everyone else outside in
16:37
Speaker 1: Las Vegas and get into a little fago moon missed bath.
16:42
Speaker 1: I honestly don't even remember what else happens there. There.
16:45
Speaker 1: There is something with Lloyd during all of this where
16:48
Speaker 1: I feel like you already start to see that he's
16:51
Speaker 1: a little apprehensive about what's going on in Las Vegas.
16:54
Speaker 1: I think he's he's very loyal and committed to Randall
16:58
Speaker 1: flag but you can tell also that he's kind of
17:01
Speaker 1: hesitant about if they're making the right choices with all this,
17:04
Speaker 1: or if they can really trust what Randall Flagg's like
17:08
Speaker 1: plan is, like what his I don't know. The bigger
17:11
Speaker 1: Randall Flagg picture, if you know what I'm saying. After that,
17:14
Speaker 1: Stu and Fran, their whole group gets to Boulder, Colorado,
17:18
Speaker 1: and they meet Mother Abigail for the first time. So
17:21
Speaker 1: they're all just like, holy fuck, I can't believe it's you.
17:25
Speaker 1: It's really you, Mother Abigail. We've been having dreams about
17:28
Speaker 1: each other back to back, you know, and everyone's excited.
17:31
Speaker 1: It's kind of framed in a way where Mother Abigail
17:33
Speaker 1: comes off as like a magical character, which kind of
17:37
Speaker 1: makes sense. I mean, everybody's been having dreams about her
17:40
Speaker 1: and then they find out that she's a real lady
17:42
Speaker 1: and that these dreams are actually leading them here. So
17:44
Speaker 1: I kind of get why she has this like other
17:47
Speaker 1: worldliness to her. Why these people would kind of assume that, like, okay,
17:51
Speaker 1: this is like the messenger of God. Nadine. Nadine has
17:55
Speaker 1: a dream. I can't remember what it's about. Then we
17:59
Speaker 1: get dropped into one Nadine's dreams with Randall Flagg, and
18:03
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure most of her dreams are just like
18:06
Speaker 1: her in the desert with Randall flag and he's always shirtless,
18:11
Speaker 1: and I think he's always just like getting ready to
18:13
Speaker 1: bang her or just like talking about banging her and stuff,
18:15
Speaker 1: and he's pretty much just like, yeah, you got save
18:18
Speaker 1: that little Vegina for me. It's like, oh no, I
18:24
Speaker 1: was bullshit. He's just yeah, He's basically just like, save
18:28
Speaker 1: your little nagene Gina, Nadina, save it for me, Nadine,
18:34
Speaker 1: because I'm gonna marry your ass or whatever. And she's
18:36
Speaker 1: just kind of like, okay, okay, that sounds good. And
18:41
Speaker 1: something that we don't get in the movie that I
18:43
Speaker 1: think is one of those scenes that should have been included,
18:45
Speaker 1: is that there is this really great scene in the
18:48
Speaker 1: book where we flash back to Nadine and kind of
18:52
Speaker 1: like where all this started, because you get an idea
18:55
Speaker 1: right away that there's something going on with Nadine that
18:58
Speaker 1: she's not really letting on right away, or that she's
19:01
Speaker 1: a little off. I think in the movie it's way
19:03
Speaker 1: more obvious, but you kind of get it in the
19:05
Speaker 1: book too, where like something's a little off with her.
19:07
Speaker 1: And basically it cuts to like I think when she's
19:10
Speaker 1: going to college, her in some of her like roommates
19:13
Speaker 1: or whatever, have a Wiji board out and they start
19:16
Speaker 1: playing around on the Wizi board and basically like through
19:18
Speaker 1: the WIZI board. She gets contacted by Randall Flagg then
19:22
Speaker 1: and floats up in the air. This is something that like,
19:25
Speaker 1: I should probably go back and read again because I'm
19:28
Speaker 1: not gonna remember this like word for word or anything.
19:31
Speaker 1: But I think you get the idea right then that
19:33
Speaker 1: she's kind of been chosen or preyed upon by Randall
19:37
Speaker 1: Flagg as early as when she was in college. I'm
19:41
Speaker 1: not exactly sure how old she is. I think she
19:43
Speaker 1: might be late thirties or something like that. In the book,
19:46
Speaker 1: I don't know, I can't remember, maybe not maybe younger
19:49
Speaker 1: than that, But anyway, that's not in the in the movie.
19:52
Speaker 1: In the movie, she has this dream she wakes up
19:55
Speaker 1: and guess who's driving the damn truck that she's in.
19:57
Speaker 1: Stephen King himself. Holy cow, he's in the This is
20:01
Speaker 1: the Stephen King cameo that we're gonna get. This is it?
20:04
Speaker 1: You know, I'm saying. Stephen King kind of almost does
20:07
Speaker 1: the stan Lee thing of what just like always having
20:09
Speaker 1: to be in every one of his movies. I don't
20:12
Speaker 1: know if it's as most of the time, I feel
20:15
Speaker 1: like it's not as jarring because he usually just plays
20:18
Speaker 1: like a minor character that you might look over other
20:21
Speaker 1: than maybe other than Creep Show, and probably some other ones.
20:25
Speaker 1: But and this one, I can't remember the name of
20:28
Speaker 1: the character that he plays. Actually, let me look that
20:33
Speaker 1: up real quick. Sorry, my fucking balls off. What what
20:37
Speaker 1: character did he play? What character? What? This is fucking dumb?
20:43
Speaker 1: So I just googled what character does Stephen King play
20:46
Speaker 1: in The Stand Nights. The first thing that comes up
20:49
Speaker 1: says does not play a character, And it says Stephen
20:53
Speaker 1: King does not play a character. The mini series is
20:56
Speaker 1: based on his novel and features a cast of actors
20:59
Speaker 1: portraying very characters, including Stu Redman played by Gary Sinise.
21:03
Speaker 1: So basically, what this is saying is that we're fucking cooked.
21:06
Speaker 1: And AI doesn't even know this shit. AI doesn't even
21:09
Speaker 1: know like Google, AI doesn't even know that Stephen King's
21:13
Speaker 1: in this fucking movie. What a dumb ass, What a
21:15
Speaker 1: stupid ass, dumb motherfucker. Okay, so I just wikipedia it.
21:21
Speaker 1: That was way better. Stephen King plays Teddy Wiseac in
21:25
Speaker 1: this movie. I'm just gonna keep this pulled up since
21:27
Speaker 1: fucking apparently you can't trust Google for anything anymore. Dumb ass, motherfucker.
21:35
Speaker 1: I start recording anyway. Stephen King, he's Teddy Wiseak, He's
21:38
Speaker 1: driving the truck. He's just like, hey, Nadine having a
21:41
Speaker 1: little dream there, and she's just like, oh yeah about
21:44
Speaker 1: come my pants. So back in the Boulder Free Zone,
21:48
Speaker 1: Glenn is kind of skeptical about rebuilding society back to
21:51
Speaker 1: the way it was, And I think this is one
21:53
Speaker 1: of the great themes of this whole thing. One of
21:55
Speaker 1: the one of the great talking points in the whole
21:59
Speaker 1: story is that, like Glenn is questioning, should we be
22:03
Speaker 1: building society in the way that it was, because that's
22:06
Speaker 1: what led us to the situation that we're in. So
22:08
Speaker 1: we're saying kind of like, we have a fresh slate
22:11
Speaker 1: right now. Should we really just run things back and
22:14
Speaker 1: have a do over? Or is this a chance to
22:17
Speaker 1: rebuild things in a different direction. It's a very interesting
22:20
Speaker 1: question and definitely something that obviously everyone would be thinking
22:24
Speaker 1: about at this point, because building things back the way
22:27
Speaker 1: they were is probably going to be your easiest bet,
22:29
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. You already have the blueprints
22:31
Speaker 1: for it, and I'm sure everyone would probably be hopeful
22:35
Speaker 1: that like, well, this time around, we'll do things better,
22:38
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? I don't know how likely
22:40
Speaker 1: that is, but it's just it's one of those things
22:44
Speaker 1: that I feel like it would be hard not to do.
22:46
Speaker 1: This is this is just a little side note that
22:48
Speaker 1: I thought was pretty cool. Mother Abigail, we see are
22:51
Speaker 1: at her house. Like everyone in Boulder they get their
22:54
Speaker 1: own houses, you know what I mean, Like they go there,
22:56
Speaker 1: there's all these abandoned homes and stuff, and they just
22:59
Speaker 1: get the day people out of the homes and then
23:01
Speaker 1: they occupy them. But we see that she has a
23:04
Speaker 1: remote control lawnmower, which I thought was really cool. So
23:07
Speaker 1: I would really appreciate a remote control lawnmower like that, honestly,
23:11
Speaker 1: But I'm not one hundred and six, so I guess
23:15
Speaker 1: I don't have any reason for remote control lawnmower yet.
23:18
Speaker 1: So right after we see her dicking around with the wwndmower,
23:21
Speaker 1: an ass load of people show up the Boulder, Colorado.
23:24
Speaker 1: It's just like it's like a hundred fucking people in
23:27
Speaker 1: cars and trucks and motorcycles and stuff, and they're just like,
23:29
Speaker 1: what's mother Abigail. Yes, we finally get a meeter. Yes
23:33
Speaker 1: this is great, But instantly as soon as Nadine steps
23:37
Speaker 1: out of the truck. She's just like, who is that bitch?
23:41
Speaker 1: Get that fucking bitch out of here. And Nadine's kind
23:44
Speaker 1: of like, I don't like her. I don't like mother
23:46
Speaker 1: Abigail and stuff. And Joe the little kid. So there's
23:50
Speaker 1: this little boy named Joe. He just shows up and
23:53
Speaker 1: he just fucking shoves down Nadine so he can get
23:56
Speaker 1: a hug from mother Abigail. He's just like, out of
23:58
Speaker 1: the way, your fucking gray haired bitch, and he just
24:00
Speaker 1: like knocks her ass down. Joe is completely different in
24:03
Speaker 1: this too. Like in the book, he's a firal kid
24:07
Speaker 1: and he's just like always carrying around a knife and stuff.
24:10
Speaker 1: As they get to like Boulder and he forms this
24:12
Speaker 1: relationship with Larry, he becomes like more normal, and this
24:16
Speaker 1: one you just kind of see him as like a
24:18
Speaker 1: fairly normal kid right away, especially in Boulder, Colorado. He's
24:22
Speaker 1: just instantly like, oh, yeah, Larry's my new dad. Now
24:26
Speaker 1: I love him. He can play the guitar and I
24:28
Speaker 1: can also play the guitar, but I don't know if
24:31
Speaker 1: we see that in the movie. In the book, Joe
24:33
Speaker 1: and like he's like a virtuoso. He just sits down
24:36
Speaker 1: and just shreds his little dick off the whole time,
24:38
Speaker 1: and Larry's like, damn, this kid can play guitar better
24:41
Speaker 1: than me. Holy shit. So if you remember in episode two,
24:45
Speaker 1: Nadine left Larry and the tent, you know, she left
24:48
Speaker 1: him hind and dry and was just like, hey, we
24:50
Speaker 1: cannot be fucking and I know we're gonna the dark Man.
24:53
Speaker 1: Don't want that. He said, no fucking for me, No
24:57
Speaker 1: vagina fucking for me is what he told her. So
25:00
Speaker 1: Larry like grabs Nadine and he's just like, hey, what
25:02
Speaker 1: the fuck's up with you, bitch? Like what are you
25:04
Speaker 1: doing here? Why'd you just leave me in the damn tent?
25:07
Speaker 1: And she just like get out of here, and she
25:10
Speaker 1: just like kind of dips out and doesn't say anything
25:13
Speaker 1: to Larry, And he's kind of like, this is weird
25:15
Speaker 1: because Larry is a new girlfriend now, which we'll meet
25:17
Speaker 1: her soon enough. Joe's it's Joe's like new mom, Joe
25:23
Speaker 1: has new parents. It's Larry and I can't remember what
25:27
Speaker 1: the hell name is Lucy. Joe and Lucy and Larry
25:31
Speaker 1: are like a little family together. So then we kind
25:33
Speaker 1: of quickly cut over to them turning on the power
25:36
Speaker 1: in Boulder, Colorado. It just shows like a lot of
25:39
Speaker 1: shots of these dead people that were like sitting in
25:42
Speaker 1: front of appliances when they died and all the appliances
25:45
Speaker 1: are turning back on. It's interesting because it's one of
25:49
Speaker 1: those things where it's like, I get that. It's sounded
25:51
Speaker 1: like Captain Trips, you know, comes on strong, then you
25:54
Speaker 1: start feeling good again, and then you suddenly die whenever
25:57
Speaker 1: it kicks back in or whatever. So you just I
26:00
Speaker 1: can imagine these people were like I got the flu
26:02
Speaker 1: and there's you know, bedridden stuff. Their necks are getting
26:05
Speaker 1: all swollen, and then they feel better and they're like,
26:07
Speaker 1: hell yeah, I'm gonna go turn on the oven and
26:08
Speaker 1: then they just fucking die with the oven on, or oh,
26:11
Speaker 1: hell yeah, I'm gonna go watch the TV and then
26:13
Speaker 1: they fucking die on the couch or something. So there
26:15
Speaker 1: was a lot of good shots of people just being
26:18
Speaker 1: dead in front of appliances. All this is happening. So
26:21
Speaker 1: later on that night, Mother Abigail, she's kind of like
26:24
Speaker 1: having this inner turmoil where she's like, oh, look at
26:28
Speaker 1: me acting like a damn a little like I'm a
26:32
Speaker 1: damn little god or something like that. And she starts
26:36
Speaker 1: like getting all conflicted about her pride. She's like, oh,
26:41
Speaker 1: I've been too pride for I need to just go
26:43
Speaker 1: wander off in the woods and get lost. And so
26:46
Speaker 1: she does, and she's just like, anyway, peace out everyone.
26:49
Speaker 1: She doesn't tell anyone she's doing this, but they, uh,
26:53
Speaker 1: you know, she just does. She's just like, I need
26:55
Speaker 1: to go on a little what do you call it.
26:58
Speaker 1: I need to go on a little vision quest by
27:00
Speaker 1: myself in the woods for you know, a week or
27:03
Speaker 1: two with nothing to eat except for sticks and grass.
27:06
Speaker 1: So she does. She does that, and then after that
27:09
Speaker 1: they have the first town meeting. Stu is the speaker.
27:11
Speaker 1: I think he just kind of gets naturally selected to
27:14
Speaker 1: be the person that does the that like hosts the
27:18
Speaker 1: town meeting or whatever, and he does a great job.
27:21
Speaker 1: He just kind of like highlights what's been going on
27:23
Speaker 1: and talks about like how they're going to vote in
27:26
Speaker 1: this new committee to see if everybody agrees that they
27:28
Speaker 1: should be running the town. Harold actually pipes up and
27:31
Speaker 1: he's like, I would like to motion that we just
27:34
Speaker 1: go ahead, you know, skip the vote and let these
27:37
Speaker 1: motherfuckers run the town. And Stu's kind of caught off
27:39
Speaker 1: guard by this because they don't have Harold as one
27:42
Speaker 1: of the committee members. They were all people that were
27:45
Speaker 1: appointed by Mother Abigail, and Harold wasn't because she knows
27:49
Speaker 1: that motherfucker he got the buy it. Seeing day mother Abigail,
27:53
Speaker 1: she can look at Harold and she knows he got
27:55
Speaker 1: a little touch of autism. So everyone they vote them in.
27:59
Speaker 1: There's the new Committee of the Free Zone and everyone's
28:02
Speaker 1: like hell, yeah, this is great, and Stude's just like, yeah,
28:06
Speaker 1: this is pretty cool. Anyway, go ahead and stand up, Franny,
28:09
Speaker 1: show him how pretty are. And then Franny stands up
28:11
Speaker 1: and she's just like hey, Everyone's like, yeah, this is
28:15
Speaker 1: going pretty good. No Captain trips, Captain schmips, we got
28:19
Speaker 1: this shit under control. Everything's feeling pretty normal and they're
28:22
Speaker 1: pretty happy with themselves. But then Lucy busting and she's
28:26
Speaker 1: just like everybody, Mother Abigail is gone, and they're just
28:29
Speaker 1: like what do you mean and they're like, yeap, she
28:31
Speaker 1: fucking disappeared, and they're kind of like, damn, that sucks.
28:36
Speaker 1: And basically, like throughout all this, you just kind of
28:38
Speaker 1: see like different clips of Nadine acting like a bitch
28:42
Speaker 1: to everybody, which you know, it's a little on the nose.
28:45
Speaker 1: I think it would have been cool if Nadine's character
28:47
Speaker 1: was like obviously a little more like unsure about what
28:50
Speaker 1: she was going to do. But I think it's because
28:53
Speaker 1: of the off putting introduction to Mother Abigail and how
28:56
Speaker 1: Mother Abigail right away is just like ooh, that bitch,
28:59
Speaker 1: the devil and stuff like that that I think it
29:02
Speaker 1: kind of like makes sense why Nadine's just like she
29:04
Speaker 1: seems like she's always scheming. And there's even during this
29:07
Speaker 1: town meeting, she keeps like looking over at Harold and
29:09
Speaker 1: she's like so so so hall at me, Harold, come
29:13
Speaker 1: over to my house, fuck me in the butt. Uh.
29:19
Speaker 1: So after that town town meeting and shit like that,
29:22
Speaker 1: you know, they have a little like picnic meeting, and
29:24
Speaker 1: they decide that they're going to send over some spies
29:27
Speaker 1: to see what is going on in Las Vegas into
29:31
Speaker 1: spy on Randall Flag because they're like, if Mother Abigail's real,
29:34
Speaker 1: Randall Flag, the dark man, the walking dude, he must
29:38
Speaker 1: be real too, and we got to find out what
29:39
Speaker 1: the fuck he's doing because he probably wants to kill
29:41
Speaker 1: us because he keeps haunting our dreams with nightmares. You know,
29:43
Speaker 1: why else would he be doing that? Kind of like
29:46
Speaker 1: how mother Abigail was letting us have good dreams and
29:49
Speaker 1: now he's he's been having it making us have bad dreams,
29:52
Speaker 1: so he must be bad. So yeah, they're just kind
29:54
Speaker 1: of talking about it. Franny doesn't want to do it.
29:56
Speaker 1: She's just like, I don't think we need to be
29:58
Speaker 1: fucking around with all this buy shit. Let's just, you know,
30:02
Speaker 1: let's just hang out in Boulder, Colorado, eat some hot dogs,
30:05
Speaker 1: drink some damn Corps lights, and relax everybody. But they're like, no,
30:11
Speaker 1: we gotta do it, fran You're out voted big time.
30:14
Speaker 1: Nadine approaches Larry, so she just like walks up to
30:17
Speaker 1: his house that night and she's just like, Larry, I
30:20
Speaker 1: need to talk to you, and she's like pretty much
30:22
Speaker 1: just trying to do a little seduction move on Larry,
30:25
Speaker 1: like right in front of Lucy. She's like, uh, basically
30:29
Speaker 1: just ignores her, and Larry's like go inside, Lucy, and
30:32
Speaker 1: Lucy's fucking pissed about it. She's like watching out the window.
30:35
Speaker 1: She's just like, fuck, are you kidding me? I finally
30:38
Speaker 1: got a man for me and Joe and now this
30:40
Speaker 1: fucking crazy haired bitch is gonna come over here and
30:42
Speaker 1: just steal my damn man or whatever. And Nadine's like, listen, Larry,
30:46
Speaker 1: you gotta bang me so I can stand bolder. And
30:49
Speaker 1: he's just kind of like what. And she's just like, yeah,
30:52
Speaker 1: you gotta fuck the devil out of me right now,
30:54
Speaker 1: otherwise I'm gonna go to hell and marry a demon.
30:58
Speaker 1: And he just like grabs her by the shoulders and
31:00
Speaker 1: launches her to the ground. He's just like, shut up, bitch.
31:03
Speaker 1: He's like, you had your chance to bang me in
31:04
Speaker 1: the tent, and you wrote me a little fucking dumb
31:07
Speaker 1: ass note and left in the middle of the night
31:09
Speaker 1: like a silly ass little bitch. And she's just like
31:13
Speaker 1: kind of looking at him from the ground, like what
31:15
Speaker 1: you're serious. You're not gonna bang me? Uh? And he
31:20
Speaker 1: like he points to the window and he's just like
31:23
Speaker 1: that's my wife in there, motherfucker. And she's just like
31:27
Speaker 1: very funny, very funny, your wife is cute and stuff
31:30
Speaker 1: like that, and he's just kind of like she's kind
31:31
Speaker 1: of like mocking him about it, and he's just like begone, begone.
31:35
Speaker 1: Temptersk get evil gray hair hussy, get a little fluzzy,
31:39
Speaker 1: Get off my fucking lawn, he clints, woods her ass,
31:42
Speaker 1: Get off my law. No, I'm failing it. Not talking
31:46
Speaker 1: about the book, it's a lot more impactful in the book,
31:48
Speaker 1: because you get the idea that even in the book
31:51
Speaker 1: she doesn't do a great job with it, but she's
31:53
Speaker 1: asking for help. She's basically she knows that if she
31:57
Speaker 1: remains a virgin, she's going to be married to Randall Flagg.
32:01
Speaker 1: He's going to scoop her up and bring her to
32:04
Speaker 1: Las Vegas, whether she likes it or not. She's somewhat
32:07
Speaker 1: seems to be like under his control or at least
32:09
Speaker 1: his influence quite a bit so. But he tells her
32:12
Speaker 1: like NANAA, I ain't banging you. You're not getting this dick.
32:16
Speaker 1: And so then she just walks off kind of laughing.
32:18
Speaker 1: She's like, oh shit, I think she knows. At that point,
32:21
Speaker 1: she's like, I'm done for I'm Randall Flagg. So now,
32:23
Speaker 1: and she gets home her house is like fucking covered
32:28
Speaker 1: in blood. That says like Harold Lotter, and Randall Flagg
32:32
Speaker 1: appears to her and he's just like, hey, Nadine, you
32:34
Speaker 1: need to go tuck to Harold Lotter and she's like,
32:37
Speaker 1: all right, so she goes over to Harold Lotter's house,
32:39
Speaker 1: and we'll get to that soon enough, because we're going
32:42
Speaker 1: beat by beat this time around. Similar to how the
32:44
Speaker 1: book is written in three different styles, these episodes are
32:49
Speaker 1: going to be done in three different styles, taking a
32:52
Speaker 1: play at an old Stephen King's book. So, anyway, the committee,
32:55
Speaker 1: they decide who they're going to send to Las Vegas
32:58
Speaker 1: as the spies. The Judd is number one, like Judge
33:02
Speaker 1: will be great, but they're concerned about how old he is.
33:04
Speaker 1: But they also think like, he's not gonna expect us
33:07
Speaker 1: to send an old ass man. And so then they're like,
33:10
Speaker 1: how about Dana. I don't really remember why. I think
33:13
Speaker 1: they're just like, yeah, she seemed pretty cool, she'd probably
33:15
Speaker 1: be a good spy. Send Dana. And then the third
33:18
Speaker 1: one is the curveball. You're never gonna guess who they
33:21
Speaker 1: send is the third person. It's Nick's idea, and they
33:24
Speaker 1: decide to send Tom Collin, and he's like, they might
33:27
Speaker 1: not expect an old guy, they might not expect Dana
33:31
Speaker 1: for whatever reason. They're definitely not going to expect Tom Colin.
33:35
Speaker 1: And basically they come up with this whole plan that
33:38
Speaker 1: they're gonna do with Tom. They're like, we gotta, you know,
33:41
Speaker 1: do this thing with them where we're gonna hypnotize them
33:44
Speaker 1: basically or whatever, and they kind of talk about how
33:46
Speaker 1: it's gonna work out, how they're going to send the
33:48
Speaker 1: three no one's gonna know about the spies. They're going
33:51
Speaker 1: to send them separately so that none of the spies
33:54
Speaker 1: know about each other, so when they get there, if
33:56
Speaker 1: they get captured it and interrogated, they're not going to
33:59
Speaker 1: be able to give any information about each other to
34:01
Speaker 1: random Flag. Obviously, Franny is still against this, and Larry
34:06
Speaker 1: kind of gets really like pessimistic about the whole thing,
34:09
Speaker 1: or he's being really gosh, what is it. Larry's kind
34:12
Speaker 1: of being really condescending about this whole idea that they're doing,
34:16
Speaker 1: and he's kind of like joking around about it, and
34:19
Speaker 1: Stu gets fucking stern with him. Stu like turns into
34:22
Speaker 1: a proper dad and he's just like, listen, Lary, this
34:25
Speaker 1: might not be fun, but this is how shit's gonna
34:27
Speaker 1: have to be. And then Larry like cracks a joke
34:29
Speaker 1: on him and they all kind of lighten up. I
34:31
Speaker 1: can't remember what he says, but he's just like, damn, Stu.
34:34
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, He's like, Stu, you're cute when you're mad.
34:36
Speaker 1: And then Stu starts laughing and then they start kissing.
34:39
Speaker 1: Not really, but that is what he says, and they
34:41
Speaker 1: all start laughing, and they're just like, yeah, Stu, you're
34:44
Speaker 1: kind of a fucking hard ass and we love you.
34:47
Speaker 1: So they go over to Tom Collins house. They hypnotize him.
34:49
Speaker 1: His house is full of mannequins and shit for some reason,
34:52
Speaker 1: like he's the killer in the movie The Aniac. I
34:55
Speaker 1: don't know exactly what they're trying to say here. It's
34:57
Speaker 1: like he decorates his whole house with like those things
35:00
Speaker 1: that keeps woodpeckers away, those like spinny shiny things and
35:04
Speaker 1: other than that, just like a ton of mannequins laying around.
35:06
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, maybe we should send Tom Collin to
35:09
Speaker 1: Las Vegas. If you know what I'm saying, I think
35:12
Speaker 1: it's time for you to go to Las Vegas and
35:13
Speaker 1: go talk to Randall flag there. Buden. Also, why don't
35:16
Speaker 1: you try to sock him in the nuts when you
35:18
Speaker 1: get there. That's the master plan. Send Tom Colin and
35:24
Speaker 1: have him hit him in the nuts. See how that
35:26
Speaker 1: works out. So they hypnotize them, and they're basically like,
35:29
Speaker 1: all right, you're gonna go there. If anybody asks you
35:32
Speaker 1: any questions, you're gonna say that you got kicked out
35:34
Speaker 1: of Boulder, Colorado because we didn't want you having sex
35:37
Speaker 1: with any of the women and having any babies with
35:40
Speaker 1: any mental disabilities. And he's just like mental disabilities, Tom Cohen,
35:47
Speaker 1: and they're just like yeah. They go over this whole
35:50
Speaker 1: plan with them, and whenever the moon is full, that's
35:54
Speaker 1: his signal to come back, and the hypnosis works on him.
36:00
Speaker 1: It's a great plan, the whole Tom Colean thing. So
36:02
Speaker 1: far it seems to be like the right the right call.
36:05
Speaker 1: So they're they're working through this whole thing, and Tom
36:08
Speaker 1: and Nick are there and you can tell this is
36:11
Speaker 1: breaking their hearts to have to do this, even then
36:13
Speaker 1: having to explain his cover story where they're basically, we
36:17
Speaker 1: wanted to get rid of you because we didn't want
36:19
Speaker 1: you to have any retarded children, and Tom Colan just
36:22
Speaker 1: saying that back to them or whatever. You can tell,
36:25
Speaker 1: it's just really hard for them to even have to do.
36:28
Speaker 1: So I thought that was a really touching moment. You
36:30
Speaker 1: have some really great acting here from Gary Soon Ease,
36:33
Speaker 1: Rob Low and the guy that plays Tom Colan, which
36:36
Speaker 1: I I'll just go ahead and look him up to
36:38
Speaker 1: since I got Wikipedia pulled up. We're old Tom calling
36:41
Speaker 1: at there he goes the guy that plays Tom Cole
36:44
Speaker 1: and his name is Bill Fagerbacky, okay, fair enough. So
36:49
Speaker 1: we see that Harold is on a body disposal committee
36:53
Speaker 1: that goes around the city. Basically, they just show up
36:55
Speaker 1: and their Their whole job is just to throw all
36:57
Speaker 1: the bodies in the trash or whatever, get rid of
37:00
Speaker 1: the damn bodies. It's pretty disgusting. The first place they
37:03
Speaker 1: go to is this church and it's just filled up.
37:05
Speaker 1: All the pews are filled up with dead people in
37:08
Speaker 1: different stages of decay. Harold gets sick again. He goes
37:11
Speaker 1: out and he has to puke a couple of times.
37:14
Speaker 1: You kind of see that, like by the end of
37:15
Speaker 1: it though, he's maybe getting a little bit more used
37:18
Speaker 1: to this. But the whole thing is just it's a
37:22
Speaker 1: it's a pretty gnarly scene. When he gets home though,
37:24
Speaker 1: he has Nadine waiting for him. She's snuck into his
37:27
Speaker 1: house and she's just like, yeah, the dark Man told
37:30
Speaker 1: me where the key to your house was gonna be.
37:32
Speaker 1: And he's just kind of like, what the fuck are
37:34
Speaker 1: you talking about? And she's like, anyway, go take a
37:36
Speaker 1: fucking shower because you stink like shit, and then I'm
37:39
Speaker 1: gonna fuck you. And he's like, really pretty cool, and
37:42
Speaker 1: she's like, also, I got some damn Hamburger helper on
37:44
Speaker 1: the stove or something like that, so we're gonna eat
37:46
Speaker 1: Hamburger helper and fuck and he's just like nice, and
37:50
Speaker 1: she's like, but just so you know, you can only
37:52
Speaker 1: fuck my butt. He's just kind of probably just thinking, okay,
37:56
Speaker 1: why and she's like the She's like, whole number one
38:00
Speaker 1: it's for Randall Flag, but you can do anything else
38:03
Speaker 1: you want. I'm probably gonna be He's like, don't worry
38:08
Speaker 1: about the dark Man though. He doesn't care about sucking
38:11
Speaker 1: or butt fucking or any of that stuff, just as
38:14
Speaker 1: long as I keep number one high and tight. I guess.
38:19
Speaker 1: So weird, it's just it just I don't know, it's
38:24
Speaker 1: just an interesting loophole. It seems to be a thing
38:29
Speaker 1: that exists. I guess. So Harold's just at home getting
38:32
Speaker 1: sucked dry. But after that, before we get to all
38:36
Speaker 1: the sucking and fucking tom heads out west, they remind him.
38:40
Speaker 1: So he's getting ready to leave. He's got like all
38:43
Speaker 1: new clothes on, and they're like, Tom, you forgot your
38:45
Speaker 1: shirt tag, you know. So they're like Nick like rips
38:48
Speaker 1: the shirt tag off for him, and he just looks
38:50
Speaker 1: at him and goes, I hate being retarded. And then
38:53
Speaker 1: he just rides off on his bike. And it's like,
38:55
Speaker 1: it's so sad watching Tom call and go, knowing that
38:58
Speaker 1: he's gonna be all alone on it in the desert
39:00
Speaker 1: because they're like, listen, Tom, you gotta travel at night
39:04
Speaker 1: and sleep during the day and stuff like that, you know.
39:07
Speaker 1: And they're basically like they told him as well, if
39:09
Speaker 1: you run into one person, you gotta kill him. If
39:12
Speaker 1: you run into many people, you just gotta fucking run
39:15
Speaker 1: away and do your best. So he's got this like
39:17
Speaker 1: horrible mission that he's going on. I guess it's probably
39:20
Speaker 1: best that he's been you know, hypnotized to do all
39:24
Speaker 1: the right things to probably keep him in check. After that,
39:27
Speaker 1: we see a fran baby check up and the doctor
39:29
Speaker 1: just like, baby's all good, Baby's all good, yo, But
39:32
Speaker 1: she obviously has some concerns like well, what if the
39:34
Speaker 1: baby gets sick with Captain Tripps and stuff like that.
39:37
Speaker 1: How do we know any of the babies are going
39:39
Speaker 1: to be immune. It's completely unknown, so that's obviously like
39:43
Speaker 1: a big concern. Harold has a dream about the outworld
39:46
Speaker 1: and the movie Mortal Kombat, which is pretty cool. He
39:49
Speaker 1: basically just like goes around and he's looking at like
39:53
Speaker 1: all these burned up cars and you know, like metal
39:55
Speaker 1: barrels with fire shooting out of him, and then he
39:58
Speaker 1: sees the character from the book that which this is
40:01
Speaker 1: another one of those things. If you didn't read the book,
40:03
Speaker 1: you would be like, what the fuck is this. It's
40:06
Speaker 1: basically just like a dead body in a car that
40:08
Speaker 1: pops up that I guess kind of looks like a wolf.
40:10
Speaker 1: I think that's what it's supposed to look like. It's
40:12
Speaker 1: like a wolf costume that this guy is on, but
40:14
Speaker 1: he just kind of looks like a fucked up person,
40:17
Speaker 1: and he's just like, hey, you're a card Hawk, and
40:20
Speaker 1: Harold looks at him and says, yeah, a wild card.
40:24
Speaker 1: And that's a whole other thing where it's like, no one,
40:26
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody's called Harold Hawk yet in the
40:29
Speaker 1: show he gets nicknamed Hawk in the book and starts
40:32
Speaker 1: to kind of appreciate the community that's building in Boulder
40:36
Speaker 1: Comere and starts to like question whether or not he's
40:39
Speaker 1: going to join the dark side. But after he sees
40:42
Speaker 1: the kid, the wolf Kid, he sees a bunch of
40:45
Speaker 1: dynamite and Randall flag's in there, and he's just like, yeah, Harold,
40:48
Speaker 1: you know what to do. Fucking do it, Bud blow
40:51
Speaker 1: him up. And so he wakes up to Nadine asking
40:54
Speaker 1: him about his dream, and Harold just kind of looks
40:57
Speaker 1: at he just like ignores that shit because he's like,
40:59
Speaker 1: I don't want to tell you I had a scary
41:01
Speaker 1: dream when I'm getting ready to make you suck me
41:04
Speaker 1: off again. So he just says, oh, Nadine like juicy,
41:08
Speaker 1: and then he probably gets like his tenth OTP hand job.
41:12
Speaker 1: There is like a really disgusting part about Harold in
41:15
Speaker 1: the book that they don't touch on in the movie.
41:17
Speaker 1: In the book, I think it's just like rumors or
41:20
Speaker 1: like people kind of picking on him maybe or maybe
41:23
Speaker 1: it's the truth, but they talk about how he just
41:25
Speaker 1: like comes in his pants all the time and never
41:28
Speaker 1: changes his pants, and I just wish they would have
41:30
Speaker 1: brought that to the big screen. I wish they would
41:32
Speaker 1: have just I just need a character in a movie
41:34
Speaker 1: that comes his sweatpants all the time and just lets
41:38
Speaker 1: it build and build, and then it comes back as
41:41
Speaker 1: like a Chekhov's gun type of thing, where the cum
41:45
Speaker 1: has solidified so much in the front of his pants
41:48
Speaker 1: that like at the end it saves the day. Like
41:50
Speaker 1: he jumps in front of a character and it, you know,
41:54
Speaker 1: somebody shoots a gun at the main character and he
41:57
Speaker 1: jumps in front of it and the solidif i'd kind
42:00
Speaker 1: of actually blocks the bullet and saves the day and
42:03
Speaker 1: he doesn't even get hurt from it because it's too
42:05
Speaker 1: there's too much of it. I need a movie like that.
42:08
Speaker 1: Stat So anyway, I don't even want to think about
42:10
Speaker 1: how much Harold is nutting right now. We cut over
42:13
Speaker 1: to Tom. He's just like instantly gets a job in Vegas.
42:17
Speaker 1: So that's pretty cool, pretty good equal opportunity employees over
42:22
Speaker 1: there in Las Vegas. Apparently he's working on airplanes. What
42:25
Speaker 1: do you know, You just got Tom Collin working on
42:28
Speaker 1: your airplane. Who wants to get on that plane? Yeah,
42:31
Speaker 1: this one's been inspected by Tom collin that spells up shit,
42:36
Speaker 1: that spells check engine light just like crashes. Anyway, he's
42:41
Speaker 1: working on planes. He also happens to see trash can
42:45
Speaker 1: man fucking lifting up a bomb with like a pallette jack,
42:48
Speaker 1: and they're just like, yeah, I get the fucking bomb
42:51
Speaker 1: on the plane because he's supposed to be looking for
42:53
Speaker 1: shit like this, so he's kind of like, what shit.
42:55
Speaker 1: They do have bombs and they are gonna bomb us,
42:58
Speaker 1: because the whole thing is to figure out like, are
43:01
Speaker 1: they going to drop a nuke on us? That's kind
43:03
Speaker 1: of what they think is gonna happen. They do this
43:05
Speaker 1: scene from the book that I'm really glad they did where, uh,
43:08
Speaker 1: it's just a brief one, but Tom is passing by
43:12
Speaker 1: in like a car in the back of a truck,
43:14
Speaker 1: and he looks up and he sees Dana working on
43:16
Speaker 1: like a lamppost like she works for the city, I
43:19
Speaker 1: guess or whatever, the city of Las Vegas. But I
43:22
Speaker 1: just thought that was really neat because it comes up
43:24
Speaker 1: later on in the story and I thought it was
43:27
Speaker 1: a nice little touch there where it's like, oh, yeah,
43:29
Speaker 1: they actually do bump into each other, and you know
43:31
Speaker 1: at that moment they have to be like, shit, are
43:33
Speaker 1: you the spy? Are you one of the spies they sent?
43:38
Speaker 1: I'm sure Dana's probably thinking, damn, they sent Tom Colin.
43:41
Speaker 1: I'm sure she's even questioning like damn. Maybe he did
43:43
Speaker 1: get kicked out of Boulder, or he just decided to
43:46
Speaker 1: come over here or something. I don't know. I don't
43:47
Speaker 1: think anybody that actually knows Tom and Boulder would think
43:50
Speaker 1: that he's too pure. He's too pure of heart, and
43:53
Speaker 1: everyone loves him there as they should. Next we see
43:56
Speaker 1: Harold in the basement just making fucking bombs, making a
43:59
Speaker 1: home made bombs and like shoe boxes and stuff like that,
44:02
Speaker 1: and he's listening to the song Boogie Fever, which is amazing.
44:05
Speaker 1: The soundtrack in this movie kicks ass. Nadine, she goes
44:10
Speaker 1: downstairs and she shuts the music off. She's just like, Harold,
44:13
Speaker 1: I need to talk to you about bucking and butt stuff.
44:15
Speaker 1: And he's just like, don't mess with my disco, Nadine,
44:19
Speaker 1: And she's kind of like, okay, well, anyway, Harold, I
44:23
Speaker 1: need to talk to you about some important shit or
44:26
Speaker 1: something like that. And he's just like, whatever, bitch, why
44:29
Speaker 1: don't you go outside and take a hike? And she's like,
44:31
Speaker 1: are you fucking joking me? Right now? I'm sure Nadine
44:34
Speaker 1: is super like off put by this whole situation because
44:36
Speaker 1: she's like having to fuck this nerd with her butt
44:39
Speaker 1: for like Randall flag, and she's probably like, this sucks ass.
44:44
Speaker 1: This is not how I expected my life to go,
44:46
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. We got to really be
44:48
Speaker 1: questioning some of her choices that she's been making. But
44:51
Speaker 1: and you know, at one point she was probably like, well,
44:53
Speaker 1: at least I'm gonna be in charge because I got
44:56
Speaker 1: the stinkhole, I got the mouth, and this little pussy
44:59
Speaker 1: is never has This little virgin's never had sex before.
45:03
Speaker 1: Nadine's a virgin too, but still, you know how Harold is,
45:06
Speaker 1: and she obviously is like, yeah, I don't know. She's older,
45:10
Speaker 1: Harold's younger. You would think that the ball would be
45:12
Speaker 1: in her court. But as soon as he starts getting
45:14
Speaker 1: a little but he's just like, I'm in charge here,
45:19
Speaker 1: I'm the man of the house, bitch. Why don't you
45:21
Speaker 1: go take a fucking hike, And basically he tells her
45:23
Speaker 1: that he's but she's like, what the fuck are you
45:26
Speaker 1: talking about, motherfucker? And he's like, well, I got this
45:28
Speaker 1: many pounds of dynamite here, and it's sweating pure nitri glycerine.
45:32
Speaker 1: So one false move could make this whole place blow up.
45:35
Speaker 1: So maybe for your safety, you should go take a hike, bitch.
45:38
Speaker 1: And she's kind of like, okay, fair enough, Harold, fair enough.
45:41
Speaker 1: And then after that we just cut right to Nadine
45:43
Speaker 1: dropping off the bomb in the closet of the committee house,
45:47
Speaker 1: so like, okay, that isn't a look good. The next
45:50
Speaker 1: town meeting starts Mother Abigail. She shows back up with Joey.
45:55
Speaker 1: Joey's like walking her up towards the middle of town,
45:58
Speaker 1: and she looks like a zombie be when she gets back.
46:01
Speaker 1: I thought this was actually really cool. She looks like
46:04
Speaker 1: a zombie from Dead Alive. I thought a lot of
46:07
Speaker 1: the makeup after watching this third part, a lot of
46:10
Speaker 1: the makeup of the dead people reminded me of the
46:13
Speaker 1: movie Dead Alive, actually, which I was like, cool, I
46:16
Speaker 1: like that movie too. So Mother Abigail shows up, everybody's excited.
46:20
Speaker 1: They're all just like, hey, hey, town meeting people, and
46:23
Speaker 1: they like rush over to the town meetinghouse and they're
46:25
Speaker 1: just like mother Abigail's here, but right whenever she starts
46:28
Speaker 1: showing up, they all get like an instant message in
46:31
Speaker 1: their head. It's like there's you know, get out of
46:34
Speaker 1: the house. Get out of the house, and they all
46:36
Speaker 1: just like stand up. Not everybody, but like some of
46:39
Speaker 1: the core members stand up, and they're just like, holy shit,
46:42
Speaker 1: we gotta get out of the house. For some reason.
46:44
Speaker 1: Nick Like, they don't know why they need to get
46:47
Speaker 1: out of the house. I think, Nick, here's a message
46:49
Speaker 1: that says like there's something in the closet, or it's
46:52
Speaker 1: in the closet or something like that. So he runs
46:54
Speaker 1: over there and he's just like, what's in the closet
46:56
Speaker 1: and he opens it up. Most everybody else gets out
46:59
Speaker 1: of there. So while this is going on, we see
47:01
Speaker 1: that Nadine and Harold are like on the outskirts of
47:04
Speaker 1: Boulder and they're waiting for a specific time. And right
47:08
Speaker 1: as Nick is checking the closet, Harold chimes in on
47:11
Speaker 1: a little handheld radio and he's just like, this is
47:15
Speaker 1: Harold Lotter, and I'm doing this of my own free will.
47:18
Speaker 1: And then the fucking bomb blows up. The house fucking explodes.
47:22
Speaker 1: Nick gets killed, obviously because he's right there. And then
47:25
Speaker 1: Susan Stern is also killed, and there's a few other
47:28
Speaker 1: people that they mentioned that died, and like a lot
47:30
Speaker 1: of people get injured from it, but most of the
47:33
Speaker 1: main people besides Nick and Susan end up surviving. Frannie
47:38
Speaker 1: gets knocked out from the explosion. She has a dream
47:40
Speaker 1: where Mother Abigail is telling her that God didn't get
47:43
Speaker 1: them together to put a committee together and start a
47:46
Speaker 1: free zone. She's basically just like saying, what we're doing
47:49
Speaker 1: right now is not exactly what God had in mind.
47:52
Speaker 1: This isn't his whole intention of bringing us together. We've
47:55
Speaker 1: been here to go. Wolf the Devil's ass, basically the
47:58
Speaker 1: devil amp's ass. He is having a hard time with
48:01
Speaker 1: it though she like does not want to hear this shit.
48:03
Speaker 1: She's like, I want things to be back to normal,
48:06
Speaker 1: as you know, most people probably would. It's gotta be
48:08
Speaker 1: a lot to like see this little glimpse of hope
48:11
Speaker 1: that like civilization's going to return. And then this lady
48:15
Speaker 1: who you just met is telling you no, no, you
48:19
Speaker 1: guys actually need to go and fucking fight the devil.
48:22
Speaker 1: No holds barred to the death and so Fran wakes up.
48:25
Speaker 1: She's in the hospital she knows from the dream that
48:28
Speaker 1: Susan and Nick are dead and that all these people
48:30
Speaker 1: died and stuff. We see the mother Abigail's in the
48:33
Speaker 1: hospital bed next to her and she wakes up and
48:35
Speaker 1: she's just like everybody out of the hospital room except
48:38
Speaker 1: for the committee. And so basically she tells them that
48:41
Speaker 1: the four men that are left over they have to
48:43
Speaker 1: go west with no food and no water, no extra supplies.
48:48
Speaker 1: They have to go on foot, and they have to
48:50
Speaker 1: leave right now. She doesn't know like how this whole
48:53
Speaker 1: plan is going to turn out, this whole like mission
48:56
Speaker 1: that they're on, but she tells them that one of
48:58
Speaker 1: them will fall on the way there, but she doesn't
49:01
Speaker 1: know who. She also doesn't know if they're going to
49:03
Speaker 1: win or not. She's just like, this is just what
49:05
Speaker 1: God told me to tell you guys. Good luck. You know,
49:09
Speaker 1: you just need to go to Las Vegas and stand
49:12
Speaker 1: against the dark Man. Right after that she passes away.
49:15
Speaker 1: Glenn kind of like does the thing where he like
49:17
Speaker 1: you know, closes their eyelids or whatever, and he says,
49:20
Speaker 1: white magic is all we have left. And that's like
49:23
Speaker 1: something they talk about in the book more, but you know,
49:26
Speaker 1: they touch on it here. One good thing about the
49:28
Speaker 1: movie is that they do touch on all of the
49:31
Speaker 1: I don't know about all, but most of the like
49:33
Speaker 1: really important things in the book. They at least have
49:36
Speaker 1: enough time to touch on him these episodes. So this is,
49:40
Speaker 1: like I said, split up into four episodes. These episodes
49:42
Speaker 1: feel like really full. Although there are many things in
49:46
Speaker 1: the book that I'd love to see in a show
49:48
Speaker 1: or played out in a movie, I feel like what
49:51
Speaker 1: we get here is very satisfying. For cramming all this
49:54
Speaker 1: into four episodes, they're doing a great job. I think
49:57
Speaker 1: you could probably stretch this whole book out into three
50:00
Speaker 1: for series or seasons of a TV show if you
50:03
Speaker 1: really wanted to and really like keep it faithful to
50:05
Speaker 1: the book. And I don't even yeah, I think I
50:08
Speaker 1: think three or four seasons would be plenty of time.
50:10
Speaker 1: But the way they do it here, I feel like
50:13
Speaker 1: they're they're killing it. Friend does not want STU to
50:16
Speaker 1: go still, like they they're saying they're goodbyes because they're like, listen,
50:20
Speaker 1: she said we gotta get going, like right now. So
50:24
Speaker 1: and you know she's like, no, stud, we don't have
50:27
Speaker 1: to listen to her. Ass she's dead. What's she no,
50:30
Speaker 1: she might not even know. And Stud's just kind of like, listen,
50:33
Speaker 1: if I don't go, what if we all die? Like
50:36
Speaker 1: you me, the baby, everybody gets wiped out because the
50:39
Speaker 1: Dark Man comes over here and focks us all up.
50:41
Speaker 1: And she's like, yeah, you have a good point there.
50:44
Speaker 1: Good luck, Bud. You know. They say they're goodbyes. It's
50:47
Speaker 1: very touching. She's like, love you, Stu, and he's like, oh,
50:50
Speaker 1: I love you too, Franny. And then after that, Stu, Larry, Glenn, Ralph,
50:54
Speaker 1: and Kojak all head west on foot. That's right, they
50:57
Speaker 1: bring Kojak, which smart thinking on their part. Cool. So
51:01
Speaker 1: that's Chapter three, Part three of The Stand Up next
51:05
Speaker 1: probably next week or so. I'm trying to get all
51:08
Speaker 1: this stuff done at once. I'm reading the book. I've
51:10
Speaker 1: been watching some other movies too that we're going to
51:13
Speaker 1: be putting out some episodes on. But next week we're
51:16
Speaker 1: going to get into part four, which is called The
51:18
Speaker 1: stand the final chapter of the miniseries. So thanks for listening, guys.
51:23
Speaker 1: Good night,
