Tower Junkies - 052 - TV – The Betrayal + The Stand (The Stand (1994) Eps 3-4) Miniseries

In this episode, Tiny and I continue our review series of The Stand! This time, we review the final two episodes of Mick Garris’ 1994 adaptation of The Stand. It’s been about a month and a half since we last recorded and in that time I contracted and recovered from COVID. Stay safe and healthy!
