Can a single killer clown break the cycle of disappointing Stephen King adaptations? Chris and Eric take on one of the year's most hotly anticipated films, Andy Muschietti's It. Bill Skarsgård stars as Pennywise, the shape-shifting clown terrorizing the children of Derry, Maine, in the late 1980s, opposed by the Losers' Club, a group of misfit kids hell-bent on stopping his murderous rampage. We get into Skarsgård's Pennywise, the young cast, and how it stacks up against King's novel and the 1990 miniseries.
Chris Stachiw, the Doctor of Podcasting, and Eric Kniss talk Stephen King, Pennywise, the Losers' Club, and so much more.
