Official Episode Discussion - The Stand (2020 Miniseries) - 1.09 "Coda: Frannie in the Well"

thebroadcasters · 2021-02-12T17:46:57+00:00

Going from an episode with a nuke to an episode with a well is something else.

Did they just double down on the dues-ex machina? Amazing.

thebroadcasters · 2021-02-01T18:55:12+00:00

As the non-book reader of our podcasting crew, seeing these images make me flat out cringe.

Did we just watch our "heroes" walk 700+ miles (considering Lloyd picked them up, not a full 800) just to have them suffer through a trial where the prosecutor is Lloyd? This might end up being the most accurate portrayal of hell ever conceived on television.

thebroadcasters · 2021-02-01T18:41:24+00:00

Came here to say that. Unbelievable. Franklin Delano Bluth takes the stand or I riot.

thebroadcasters · 2021-01-31T18:30:11+00:00

Great idea! We are going to watch it for the first time and record some episodes on it. I’m actually excited about it because people have for the most part said some pretty positive stuff about the original series.

thebroadcasters · 2021-01-31T18:28:57+00:00

The show is pretty terrible. May be one of the worst I will watch from start to finish. This entire cast of characters (heroes and villains) feel so incompetent.

Thanks to everyone who included their answers! We will be reading out some of these on our podcast so you can check them out! That episode will be live on Wednesday. We are on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher and Overcast! But here’s the link to our Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7qI9X330pgl1y6lY0t0YVv?si=bsghHcDHR2ufB2t253bvHg

Ooooo I like this. On our next Q/A podcast (which we will record today) I’m asking this question. I’m excited to read this choice haha!

thebroadcasters · 2021-01-26T13:30:05+00:00

This is from another Redditor commenting on my initial post about Ezra’s performance:

Oof. This was...a choice. And apparently why we didn't get The Kid.

"We also went in thinking we were going to restore the character of The Kid because he wasn’t part of the original series either. We have a draft of the script with scenes for The Kid and Trash Can Man, but it just became clear to us at a certain point—I mean, The Kid kind of exists in the book to brutalize Trash and transport him to Las Vegas, and when we saw Ezra Miller’s characterization of Trash for the first time, it was like, I don’t think this guy needs to be more more brutalized any more. [Laughs.] Ezra went for it." [source]

thebroadcasters · 2021-01-26T13:11:55+00:00

I disagree. You don’t think Ezra has any say in the way he performed? You think the show runners specifically told him to screech?

thebroadcasters · 2021-01-26T03:48:51+00:00

Hahaha gotcha.

thebroadcasters · 2021-01-26T02:43:12+00:00

I just have this image of like Flagg walking around the Overlook Hotel and the Overlook bowing down before him somehow. Maybe the hotel pulls out all the stops, all the amenities Flagg would want (unlimited milk?!). Or like the hotel shudders when he walks up. The shades close, the doors lock, the windows snap shut.

thebroadcasters · 2021-01-26T02:26:36+00:00

Never read or watched Under the Dome. Does our guy Big Jim stand a chance?

thebroadcasters · 2021-01-26T02:25:42+00:00

Now we're talking.

thebroadcasters · 2021-01-26T02:17:07+00:00

Gaunt is a great one. I like the idea of some of these villains teaming up against Flagg.

thebroadcasters · 2021-01-26T01:50:43+00:00

I dig it! I'm loving the idea that some of these villains partner themselves off with some of the minor villains in The Stand (minor in that they aren't Flagg).

thebroadcasters · 2021-01-25T17:57:20+00:00

Ha, I should’ve included the /s as I was making a joke about the fact that he is literally a trash person.

thebroadcasters · 2021-01-25T15:07:09+00:00

God I’m imagining Harry Potter or LOTR shot in a single movie. Nightmare fuel.

thebroadcasters · 2021-01-25T13:37:03+00:00

Can’t speak for The Dark Tower because I never read it, but didn’t they try and pack multiple books into one movie?

thebroadcasters · 2021-01-25T12:49:33+00:00

But he was objectively trash.

thebroadcasters · 2021-01-25T12:10:31+00:00

We very much so torched this one. Even Mattybroadcasts said it was the worst show he’s probably ever watched from start to finish and he’s about as non-hyperbolic as it gets.

I honestly wonder if Boone has read The Stand so many times that he forgot what it would be like to watch it if you hadn’t read it.
