Listen in on our discussion about the changes, whether they sit well with us, why were some things added and omitted. Yep, that’s all you’re getting right now; it’s all in the podcast!

00:48:34 - Time Stamp for the start of the interview with Brad William Henke.

Things are going downhill for our “Zoners".

Literally and figuratively all over the place - Stu, Harold, Mother A. We’ll pour one out for Mother Abigail here. We feel like we are headed into uncharted waters now, knowing that Stephen King has rewritten the ending. See if we are satisfied with Harold’s story arc or if we agree with Mother Abigail’s communing with God. We talked about the importance of this episode in getting all the players into position for the climax in the action, but this episode did it with a tremendous amount of style!

Holy Buckets of Blood, Bobby Terry! We’ve journeyed through the pledge portion of the story and now we have arrived at the turn in Boulder. Bombs are going off, literally. Over in New Vegas, Randall’s becoming more deadly and we come face to face with his true personality and potential plans, bringing in the Trashcan Man. 

Afterward, stick around for our exclusive interview with Chris Fisher, director for episodes 5 and 6!!  Chris took us behind the scenes on how the episodes came about creatively, what it was like to film against a ticking pandemic clock unrelated to the pandemic in the story, and how it has affected production. Chris talks about how New Vegas was brought to life in all its glorious debauchery. And so much more!

Welcome to Boulder Free Zone Radio – The Stand Podcast, your dedicated after-show podcast for the limited series on CBS All-Access. For the next 9 weeks, the duo now becomes a trio, where Paul, Sheila, and Inez will be breaking down this new limited series starring James Marsden, Alexander Skarsgard, Whoopi Goldberg, Greg Kinnear and so many more in a deep bench of seasoned actors. Will you join us as we make our Stand?

Paul and Sheila welcome a third clubhouse member, Inez to the discussion of Episode 5, “Fear and Loathing in New Vegas.” What a welcome: orgies, spies, voyeurism! We celebrate the director change and as the title would indicate, the journey brings us to New Vegas and we get some much-needed screen time with Randall. We have lots to say about New Vegas being brought to life and Randall’s despotic rule over the debauchery through Dayna’s eyes. Will her message to Tom get through or will it endanger him? Harold. What fresh hell has he wrought this week as he loses his grip on humanity? Nadine’s spiral is leaving her conflicted, but Randall … the manipulation is strong with this one.
