Welcome to Derry: Revisiting 'It: Chapter One'

This week, Da7e and Neil return to your feeds to kick off their Derry era as they prepare for the arrival of Welcome to Derry on HBO at the end of the month. They begin their journey with a rewatch of 2017's It: Chapter One.

In The Calm [04:26], they discuss how the film was developed by Cary Fukunaga before ultimately landing in the hands of Andy Muschietti. They explore the adaptation choices that led to more of Bill Skarsgård's Pennywise ending up on screen, chart the timeline of the Derry's horrific history, and highlight what elements of the book were left out.

Then in The Storm [01:15:38], Da7e breaks down the red band trailer for Welcome to Derry.

Next week, the pod heads back to Derry for 2019's It: Chapter Two and a final preview of everything we know about Welcome to Derry prior to its debut.
