It: Welcome to Derry - S1. E1. The Pilot Review
Manage episode 516129109 series 3450735
It: Welcome to Derry is finally out on HBO Max, and as Stephen King and horror fanatics, we had to dive in! I consider 'It' to be Stephen King's the pièce de résistance, with Derry being a town I revisit annually and will in perpetuity. And now attach Andy and Barbara Muschietti that gave us the INCREDIBLE 2017 It, and I was in, and so was Bobby.
Our favorite interdimensional demon is back, Pennywise, plus a de facto Loser's Club is bicycling in Derry, and Halloween is less than a week ago- horror fans, we are feasting. So come with us as we review and deep dive, with some spoilers, into 'It: Welcome to Derry' and its (see what I did there) Pilot Episode.
We are also huge Twin Peaks fans, and this episode and some elements therein are ripe for comparison to the Lynch masterpiece that takes place in the dark and fantastical woods of the Pacific Northwest. Do not miss this episode, we really explore this newest iteration of Derry and where we think it is heading!
Also, resident Batman fanatic Bobby, putting it lightly, brings up the incredible comic book cameo we see in this first episode- listen and find out what he thinks it means for an upcoming horror project in the DCU.
Let us know what you thought about this pilot episode, and if you are excited and along for the ride back to Derry in a 5-star review and comment please!
Oh, and HAPPY HALLOWEEN MOVIE LOVERS!!! Double oh, Mr. DICK HALLORANN!? You know we talk about it, any excuse to discuss The Shining. And Batman, for Bobby.
