In this episode, Tiny and I conclude our review series of The Stand with reviews of the final 3 episodes of CBS All-Access' adaptation: The Walk, The Stand, and The Circle Closes. Stay safe and healthy!

In this episode I incorrectly say the U96 song samples Heaven is a Place on Earth. I think it's sampling Time After Time, though.
