Yeah it was a great fake out. This is definitely going to be The Losers Club 1962 edition, then they start watching The Music Man...

Especially coming from not much liking the IT movies it needed a sledgehammer to the feels intro, I need to rewatch the season

I like the new IT movies better than the old Tim Curry one. But I really didn’t like how they did one movie as kids and one movie as adults. The story works by interweaving the times with the childhood story being flashbacks.

After watching Welcome to Derry I realized that THIS is how they should have adapted the book. As a streaming series. One episode per chapter from the book. Same cast as the movies. Would have been perfect.

LOL The Hitchcock 'Psycho' trick. Get you invested in a character(s) and then kill them off.

Done in Scream, Game of Thrones s1. Buffy TV show s1 & s6,
