Matt SargentHOST
Oh, that's a good one.
Matt SargentHOST
Have any of you guys read the book? I think it's called The Stand.
Amanda JanikGUEST
Way back in the day.
Matt SargentHOST
Oh, yeah.
Jeff JohnsonGUEST
Overdrive.
Jeff JohnsonGUEST
Overdrive.
Matt SargentHOST
Anyway, in the stand, the one thing I would pull out from it, I mean, the book is a long, long book and somewhat interesting.
Matt SargentHOST
But the one thing he does at the very beginning, he does a really great calculation based on how many people are left and how many people will die in these weeks.
Matt BarberHOST
So Carrie, Christine Cujo, I haven't seen.
Matt BarberHOST
Shining, Salem's Lot, it's the stand I have read.
JR SouthallHOST
Oh, you should have left it out and just gone Carrie Christine Cujo, Shining Salem's Lot and...
JR SouthallHOST
Stammed.

Matt BarberHOST
I like the idea that Stephen King's novels exist in a shared universe because they do reference each other within the novels themselves.
JR SouthallHOST
Did you watch
Matt BarberHOST
the 2020 version of The Stand? No.
JR SouthallHOST
Rob Lowe one.
RachelPANELIST
Yeah, I've seen a lot of stuff adapted for film and TV that did not turn out great.
RachelPANELIST
Sharon, do you remember how much we hated The Stand? It was awful.
SherrandyPANELIST
At least in the 1990s version of The Stand, it stayed somewhat true to the book.
RachelPANELIST
The one that they did on,
SherrandyPANELIST
what was it, Paramount or something? It was...
20 MINS LATER
BridgetHOST
His writing leaves something to be desired.
BridgetHOST
Again, Stephen King, what 1950s style greaser hurt you in the 60s? every villain in his thing is like got a switchblade comb and yeah this is like just is cuffing his jeans and also putting cigarette packs in his sleeve yeah
SherrandyPANELIST
the wolf man from the stand the guy who drove the hot rod car and he put the cigarettes rolled up in his sleeve and he wore a leather jacket
Hannah DunleavyHOST
I think it's a good book.
Hannah DunleavyHOST
I like The Stand.
Hannah DunleavyHOST
I also think that's a good book.
Hannah DunleavyHOST
I then read, I think, Christine and decided I'd probably read enough.
Hannah DunleavyHOST
Oh, also I have read the series of short stories.
Hannah DunleavyHOST
The Stand By Me is in, yeah.
Hannah DunleavyHOST
Also The Shawshank Redemption.
Mickey NoonanHOST
Would it surprise you, Hannah, to learn that this is one of Quentin Tarantino's favourite films?
Lauren McMenemyHOST
I absolutely love that, you know, all of these, they're not really tribute anthologies, I guess, but they're, you know, stories from the world of that are coming out, particularly in the Stephen King story.
Lauren McMenemyHOST
You had the one from The Stand, you've got The Overlook coming up.
Lauren McMenemyHOST
I love that that's happening now with, you know, today's horror writers sort of continuing what he started.
Lauren McMenemyHOST
Well, I
Rebecca SchinskyHOST
Yeah.
Jeff O'NealHOST
So from it, did you know what the next one you – did you go back to the library or bookstore, Gilbert, to like figure out what the – I'm trying to think of what would have been available or like Salem's Lot or The Stand maybe? I think it might have been
Gilbert CruzGUEST
Salem's Lot.
Gilbert CruzGUEST
I can't remember if the next one was precisely Salem's Lot, but I do remember at some point – I don't know if there's a good story to tell, but there was a Barnes & Noble that used to be in Grand Central Station.
12 MINS LATER
Gilbert CruzGUEST
And so...
Gilbert CruzGUEST
You know, his first several books are just, in my opinion, they're just all bangers.
Gilbert CruzGUEST
He just had an amazing, you know, he goes from Carrie to Salem's Lot to The Shining to the first version of The Stand.
Gilbert CruzGUEST
There's a whole story about different, you know, longer version of The Stand being released in 1990.
Sam CheringtonHOST
And there's this pan dimensional demonic, uh, entity known as Randall flag, who is the, uh, villain in different forms in multiple Stephen King stories I
Will MoreyHOST
mean notably the big one is he's the villain in The Stand and he's the big bad villain of the Dark Tower series and the Dark Tower series connects all of Stephen King's works in one way or another, mainly through a multiverse and alternate dimensions.
Will MoreyHOST
And
Sam CheringtonHOST
yeah, don't get me
Will MoreyHOST
Well, the problem is that also Matthew McConaughey these days looks so greasy.
Will MoreyHOST
He was
Sam CheringtonHOST
Alexander Skarsgård in the most recent version of The Stand.
Sam CheringtonHOST
That's a good one, too, yeah.
DuffHOST
Among the Living by Anthrax.
DuffHOST
It's about Stephen King's The Stand.
DuffHOST
It's about Randall Flagg from Stephen King's The Stand.
DuffHOST
Dude, any mortician song, any mortician song.
RexHOST
No, no, no, no, no.
12 MINS LATER
DuffHOST
It's probably my favorite Cradle of Filth album.
DuffHOST
It is my favorite Cradle of Filth album.
DuffHOST
Yeah, I mean, which surprises me, only from the standpoint of you're a much, much more deep Cradle of Filth fan than I am.
JohnGUEST
So I started reading King probably in the early 80s.
JohnGUEST
I think the first book I picked up was The Stand, which continues to be probably my favorite book.
JonathanHOST
I think
JohnGUEST
Tommy Knockers was probably number two.
1 HR 4 MINS LATER
SlavaHOST
I've learned to hate it less, but the ending of Needful Things is exactly what you're describing.
SlavaHOST
And I saw an interview with him and he admitted to such.
SlavaHOST
He said in the stand where all those people die, there's a portion of the stand where a bunch of people die.
JohnGUEST
In Vegas?
Thomas WhiteGUEST
Stephen King himself does this.
Thomas WhiteGUEST
The stand has been done, I think, three different times.
Thomas WhiteGUEST
And it's different every time.
Thomas WhiteGUEST
The last one they did eight episodes, a little miniseries on, which I really liked.
Thomas WhiteGUEST
He wrote an extra episode at the end after it was over.
Thomas WhiteGUEST
And I went, they're going to do a second season.
Thomas WhiteGUEST
There's going to be a second season of The Stand.
Thomas WhiteGUEST
And no, there wasn't.
