The Stand Part 2

Episode Summary

Join us for a "delightful romp" (read: determined trudge) through the wasteland in this, Part 2 of The Stand. This week we meet more survivors, become embroiled in bureaucracy, delve deeper into our hatred of Harold, and end things with a bang!

Episode Notes

Heavy topics:

• Writing disability, ableism, and the euphemism treadmill
• The Kid is awful and completely superfluous
• Harold is an incel and it is terrible
• Stephen King spends a lot of time in school shooter’s mindset and should REALLY stop doing it (and thankfully he finally has)

The lighter side:

• Joe/Leo and his emotional support knife
• You know how to make this wasteland livable? Mountains of bureaucracy!
• Larry follows the philosophy of What Would Harold Do and it is very funny
• Frankie’s diary is written to piss Margot off, specifically
• How to properly accessorize evil minions
• Flagg is evil but his camp isn't really????

Recommendations:
Mad Max: Fury Road, The Walking Dead by Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore, World War Z by Max Brooks, Sean of the Dead, and Incels by Natalie Wynn AKA ContraPoints
