"Oh we got trouble. Right here in River City. With a capital T. That rhymes with P, and that stands for pool!" The Music Man was featured front and center in this pilot episode. Steve and I met to go over our sundry thoughts. We had different reactions, but we had plenty to talk about.
After our knee jerk reactions, we go into some listener feedback. Then it's onto the Kitchener Ironworks Easter Egg hunt, where we pull out all the Stephen King easter eggs. We round out with some character arcs and our rating from 1-5 turtles.
From Cold War fears manifesting as mutant babies to generational trauma appearing as lamp skins, Andy and Barbara Muschietti definitely have our attention. Who attacked Major Hanlon? Is a turtle just a charm on a bracelet? What is going on in special projects? We get into all of that.
Don't forget that episode 2 airs two days early, on Halloween night. Stay tuned for our episode recaps, which will drop each week, no later than Thursday.
