The Latecomers

Hoping for and mostly getting an upswing coming into this season. Women continue to get short shrift, but we agree Sadie gets maybe the best option she had, which is quite the indictment. Brady’s making up visitors and Bill is teaching Holly how to stalk – legally. We’re still holding out hope for this season like Lou is holding out hope for Steph and Cora is holding out hope for a payday.

The Kid is Henry! Henry is Henry! Henry was the Kid! We are all Henry! We get lost in time. It’s a whirlwind as we discuss the conclusion of Season 1 of Castle Rock. It’s getting timey-wimey whether Lemuel likes it or not. We discuss how portals work, how morals work, whose side we should be on, the rest of the Easter eggs, twists in narrative, and our final thoughts.

Apologies if there are speed issues with this episode (half was recorded in high speed – unclear how) but hopefully it’s not terrible to listen to – maybe shades of chipmunk? It’s because we talk about time non-linearly - Amity reads a poem she composed by simply writing the narrative of episode 7 - she tries to walk us through the plot of The Queen and trouble ensues as our story follows her into her unstuckness in time. We are reminded again ACAB as the police continue to not be a fan of the public they are supposedly serving. We’re rapidly getting to the end and some answers. Or are we?

We talk a moment about the state of the nation prior to diving back in to the creamy center of this series. There’s a lot of cognitive testing and sound talk here, as well as some juicy goss from Jackie and heinous accusations from Molly. Henry follows himself into the woods while Alan follows the Kid’s breadcrumbs and Ruth follows her own. The roads are coming together and the intertwining is coming to a head. And why, why would you leave him in the trunk.

This week Amity is joined by a “guest host” as we dive further into Castle Rock. What’s in Molly’s head? How many deaths are recorded regularly in this town? What is that woman doing to Molly’s hair? Can I get a gig at this cool alt theater? These are just some of the questions we ask as we continue to puzzle out the mystery of The Kid.

We end this year with a beginning as we start into the first season of Castle Rock. Excited to see the characters from Stephen King’s work and the actors from prior Stephen King Adaptations coming together to make an easter egg heavy series full of scares and surprises. We are introduced to Henry Deaver, our hero, the Kid, our antihero??? and a myriad of characters surrounding them that could be good or bad depending on your position and how much you are squinting. This show is a great compendium to reach as we start the downslope of the season and we dive in enthusiastically.

When you are working out and having lunch with the corpse of your mother, no matter how psychotic you are, it turns out it makes you realize your situation is untenable. It is that realization that leads us into the endgame for Brady and Bill. Brady has a plan or two, Bill thinks he’s at the center, and Josh has a fall from grace. Holly comes through in a way no one saw coming, and it might make you think twice when you underestimate young women. It’s not a cliff-hanger, but we will be back to visit Bill and Holly and even Brady again next year.

Things really come to a head in these two episodes – our penultimate watch of the season. Car bombs, rat poison and capitalism all come after the women in the show. We have some bright lights with Holly and Jerome making the most adorable crime fighters since the power puff girls. We’ve got two more episodes to see if Bill can take down Brady or if things are going to keep coming up Mr. Mercedes.

We talk incest – and why we don’t need to see it over again (like, we didn’t forget) and then discuss how bad a boss Brady really has. This town is populated by villains and we meet some more of them with go-bags full of sex toys and finally we get to meet a ray of light in this cess-pool with the entrance of Holly Gibney. There’s a lot to talk about in these two episodes – so join us, won’t you?
