About this episode

In this episode, I review the classic ABC TV mini series and begin by placing it within the context of the more recent interpretation of the material and character of Pennywise with the It: Chapter One and Chapter Two movies along with It: Welcome To Derry. At the original time of this recording, the movies had not yet been made and Bill Skarsgard had not put his stamp on the character. Now that we are nearly a decade out from that original Chapter One release, it's important to contextualize the legacy of the original ABC adaption its relationship to its successor. Enjoy! As always, if you have any thoughts on anything related to Stephen King, write into [redacted] Follow on Bluesky, Facebook, Tik Tok and Instagram.
