Here it is! My thoughts on It Chapter 2! Beforehand, I discuss the recent Stand casting and speculate on the final Doctor Sleep Trailer. Enjoy!

Like Pennywise after every 27 years, I'm back! I've gone out to the theater (a regular one this time) to see the movie in a less distracting setting and am able to give my final thoughts on the 2017 mega-blockbuster.  Also, I discuss the upcoming Netflix adaptations of Gerald's Game and 1922 and finish off with a slew of listener e-mails regarding It.  As always, write in at stephenkingcast@yahoo.com Follow me on Instagram, Tik Tok, Facebook and Bluesky.

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!

In 1986, the master of horror released the novel worthy of his title. This novel reflected many of the themes, characters, and story beats that he had introduced in his earlier novels and stands as his ultimate thesis of the horror genre. More importantly, it is the pinnacle of coming of age stories, a tale that places childhood friends at the center of a cosmic conflict, and only through the power of friendship can we overcome our fears. If that doesn't speak to Mr. King's sensibilities, I don't know what does.  Oh, and it has a scary clown!  Ladies and gentlemen, I hope that you packed your bags, because we will be spending the next month in Derry, Maine, home of Pennywise The Dancing Clown. Enjoy your stay, and keep away from the drains, the canal and the Barrens. You'll never know what you might find there. Or what might find you. . .
