Rocky is currently seeing his corner man before we dive into the Creed trilogy. Thankfully, it’s almost Halloween and we have a new “mini” retrospective to tide you all over. Listeners of ours know that we have made it our intent to tackle everything associated with Stephen King. We’ve slowly but surely been working our way through piece by piece during the years. However, if you’re knowledgeable of how we are breaking our order down, you are scratching your head is to how we arrived here. Rest assured that there are circumstances we divulge in this recording to explain why we jumped a bit further ahead than expected.
That brings us to this three-week chunk exploring one of King’s most well-known properties. It’s a story of friendship, changing chronologies, killer interdimensional beings and more red balloons than a county fair! In 1986, King released a 1200-page behomoth to the masses and development on an adaptation began immediately. IT (no pun intended) arrived on ABC over two nights to massive viewership and memorable recollections all these years later.
With a big budget adaptation set across two films, how does the miniseries work as an adaptation of such a colossal novel? Is it worth dusting off your copy or going on streaming to revisit? Take the trip back to Derry with us as we discuss all things Pennywise for the next three weeks! Be sure to float with us to 2017’s IT next week and we really hope you enjoy the discussion as much as we did recording it.
