Things are heating up for episode 2. Both Steve and I agree that Barbara and Andy Muschietti have only stepped up their game in this next chapter. With only eight episodes to play with, they are already putting together the mechanics that will converge plotlines into a climactic conclusion. In addition, the horror scenes that Ronnie and Lilly survive are lengthy, terrifying, and reflective of their real-world guilt.
After a brief recap, we discuss Easter eggs, character arcs, the two scare scenes, our favorite characters, and top scenes. Both of us rated this episode 4 out of 5 turtles.
