Listen "It (2017)"
Episode Synopsis
Centering on a group of outcast kids who are being terrorized by a hungry supernatural entity that knows their deepest fears, It was a bestselling Stephen King novel before it was adapted into a 1990 TV movie. Horror buffs do have fond memories of that film because of a memorable performance by Tim Curry as the villain, but many were still excited by the prospect of the story getting a big screen treatment from a major Hollywood studio. Split into two films (the novel is massive), this recording will be centering upon the first installment.
Ryan is joined by Sylvan and Cheryl for a discussion about this popular and affecting scary movie. Discussion topics include the excellent performances from the child actors, the decision to nix any mention of a cosmic turtle deity, the source novel's infamous sex orgy scene, and how horror movies like to explore the dark, nasty secrets hiding behind the artificial placidity of small town America.
