A peek into the wonderful and twisted mind of one Kris Calabrese as he talks about the things that entertain and tickle him in all the right ways, pop culture, movies, books, the whole shmeer. And they’ll be guests. I can’t soak up all the adulation in my own. And I might get serious.

    Well, what do we have here? It's the coda episode of CBS All Access's adaptation of The Stand, written by the man himself! Ole Steve King has come by to give us a little Last Temptation of Franny, and a safety drill on well maintenance. Flagg is made of jeans in this episode, L'il Mother A gives her namesake a parting gift, and Russell Faraday makes an appearance. Does Steve do Franny right here? And how angry should Nick Fans be? The wheel turns, the circle closes, and be sure to stand and be true.

Also, Lloyd does not like Glen's opening statement, a birth does not go well, Randall Flagg's dance game is on point; Kojak is a great wingman; Trashcan Man does not have a good sense of direction and can't read the room, and we find out that Lloyd is a big fan of Larry Underwood's music!

    This week we bid a fond farewell to Mother A, Hawk, and to Nadine's sanity. A lot of characters are left in precarious positions; we are reminded to render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's; we ask ourselves are you a Harold or a Larry, and I accuse Corin Nemec of mugging. As we enter the home stretch, I also ask ‘How is it when you adapt your father's work?' --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

    Trashcan Man shows up, and we find out that Ezra Miller is making CHOICES with his performance and I cannot say I hated it? (Unlike everyone else apparently) You know who's also making choices this episode? Harold Emory Lauder, that's who, and it's of his own volition! Franny gets more agency, gets closure with Harold, the kids of Boulder watch Time Bandits, Larry finds out the difference between Nadine and Mommy Nadine and has motorcycle trouble, and Mother A has a Come To Jesus moment in the woods of Boulder. Plus, Bobby Terry screws it up!

    We finally see what all the fuss is about over there in New Vegas. It seems like it's a nice family place (if you're the Manson Family). You've also got Mother A talking about choices, Harold going a little too far with a nanny cam, gladiator pits, Lloyd has performance issues, and even Randy Flagg knows that milk does a body good!

    Hello Constant Readers. This week I first touch briefly on real life events, because how could I not, then talk a bit about my reaction as a new listener to a Stephen King podcast (The Loser's Club) and what happens when you have a negative reaction to someone's negative reaction of something you really like. Then I dig into Episode 4 of The Stand, and how “shortcutting” is okay if it's done well; how an actor's performance can deepen and get better if they have a really good scene partner to bounce off on; and how emotional this adaptation is making me. Pour one out for Teddy Weizak, who never got to realize his dream of meeting Dwayne Johnson.

There's some Billy Joel talk, some Tommy Cruise musing, and maybe a mention about how the center cannot hold? --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
