Comedians Doug Driesel Jr. and Jake Young team up to tackle Stephen King's "The Stand" mini-series from 1994. To do so, they watch it one minute at a time while they try to Withstand the Stand.
Ralph Brentner! Doug’s step-mom might be a troll. Eve of Destruction is a terrible song, everyone thinks so. Jake was a hippy. Neither Jake nor Doug know the words to that New Radicals song.
IS Stephen King R.L. Stine? The Dark Tower!
Is Tom Cullen Hulk Hogan? Who is Nancy Travis? Wrestling! Forget it! Who’s driving the truck?
JFK references. Stephen King writes sketch characters. Jake definitely knows who people are. THE NDWA IS YOUR NEW FAVORITE THING. LOOK IT UP ON YOUTUBE AND SUPPORT US ON PATREON AT patreon.com/NDWATHUMBS, JABRONI!
Recapitulating the LAST minute. Cary Elwes is everyone in that one movie. Screaming habits. Ted throws Bill a bone. OH GOD! Frampton comes alive.
American Gothic (not the painting). The films of Gary Cole. Jackie Gleason is the reason to watch Smokey & the Bandit. Cannonball Run 2 is the inspiration for everything. We do NOT talk about the Stand at all.
Who Nancy Travis is, John Travolta’s filmography, and Tom Cullen’s dad.
Nick Andros and his peen. Doug and Jake sing “When the Bomb Goes Off.” Jake’s T-Shirt. Twin Peaks. How to play Q*Bert. Two Rules.
THE ‘R’ WORD! Bojack Horseman! Vacation memories! Julie Andrews fires a shotgun!
Norma Jennings was the moral rock of Twin Peaks. A new character shows up and we realize we’d earlier confused her with Nadine. The Mod Squad. Giovanni Ribisi and Johnny Galecki are the same people. The only thing worse than The Big Bang Theory are people who act like we should like it just because … Continue reading "STAND – Minute 150 – Mod Squad, You Say?"
Armpits and character choices. Jake does not find out what love is. The Flu Buckley mystery. The BRAT diet. The Firm 2: Waste Not Want Not.
Hello, Pratt, Kansas! Fran book baby vs. Fran movie baby. Harold’s vomit tendencies. Idiot mouths. Stu gives a leather clinic. The Fonzie. Smashmouth ruins everything and Doug reveals his fandom of that band. Led Zeppelin lore.
Harold misrepresents Missouri and we aren’t terribly offended about it because we’re not super proud about our state. Neither of us understand motorcycles or motorcycle people. What Jake would do, were he a cop. LOUD NOISES. Doug completes his epic card story trilogy in his best* Harold Lauder voice. *worst
Glen’s hammock. Creek beer. Alpha Males posturing. Rough trade. We play a game that was fun, and super-interesting to listen to. The best part of Red Dead Redemption 2. Goddamn Homunculus. Doug gives out pennies. Jake makes a pretty solid joke about Ghostbusters Answer the Call.
Calloused vaginas vs. calloused butts as dinner conversation. STU -N- FRAN IZ GON’ KNOCK DEM BOOTS, BAY-BAYYYYYY. Dungeons & Dragons crews. Jake is a dick again. Didalittle.
Autism speaks, but not as incessantly as a gluten allergy. Harold and Kumar (Fran) go to White Castle (the old guy’s place).
Bad meat. What is everyone so mad about? The lovers Buckman. Nice guy tokens. Toxic Hollywood. Just the 10 of Us. Growing Pains recollections. What’s the best Nightmare on Elm Street? The Babadook is boring and you’re as dumb as Bye Bye Man if you disagree. Stu, old guy, and Kojak are contemplating how to … Continue reading "STAND – Minute 143 – And We’re Baaack!"
Doug & Jake Tales tshirts! Plus, as a bonus, we talk about The Stand for a bit.
Crazy travel times. Movies Jake hasn’t seen. National Lampoon.
PFT is the greatest, Doug says “Bill Bixby a lot.” Vocal warm-ups. The Walking Dead sucks. How Doug sees movies. MCU conjecture.
Dark Horse Tom, master of subterfuge. Twinning. Jake’s idea for a book Stephen King should write.
Driving is easy, numb nuts.
The nuances of Tom Cullen, the unfortunate history of the R-word, Tom Sawyering
The nut tap game, white supremacy hand signs, thrash metal bands of Ruston, fake news, Guns N Roses, AC/DC
May in July. Has Doug read the book? Susan Boyle. Spongebob. Rapping Doug has theories.
Lots of Doctor Who talk. Plus? Doofus barn!
Cookie nomenclature
Boner-inducing nightstalking coat boys from X-Box Files. Oops! All bits!
Boner-inducing nightstalking coat boys from X-Box Files. Oops! All bits!
HOW DID STU GET ALL THE WAY TO MASSACHUSETTS?!?!
Restaurants are scummy places to work. John Corbett and Dane Cook are the same person. Remember BENNIGANS? We watch a movie trailer. Bob Hoskins is a little kooky. Don’t panic!
Doom Patrol is as crazy pants as Larry Underwood is afraid of his own shadow at this point. The villainous face of Timothy Dalton. Pizza toppings. Hey Vern! It’s Ernest! Nikki Cox. Eerie, Indiana was the best show that only we three remember.
The Stand vs. IT and borrowing from one’s own writing. Echo chambers.
The town bicycle metaphors.
This acting…ugh. Daniel Bush and Jake relive their greatest improv moments. Doug farts.
The speed of boot knockin’. Jake’s Twin Peaks shirt. Richard Kelly…maybe? Two rules. Egg crates on the wall.
It’s the end of the world, so chill maybe? Fuck Campbell’s garbage ass soup. We flub the ending and you get a slice of real life. You’re welcome.
Some great puns and Doug forgets that Steve Prefontaine was a runner (note from Doug: Didn’t forget. Never knew).
David Spade sitcoms vs. sitcoms with David Spade. The tunnel scene in the film vs. the book.
The hottest musical trio of 2019. Randall Flagg is played by someone. The mysteries of Walt Disney’s death. Everyone is James Caan. Doug confuses Cybermen with the Borg.
We talk Estevez vs. Sheen and the National Lampoon’s Universe.
Is Lloyd locked in a jewelry box or an anachronistic jail cell? We finally remember to talk about The Stand.
