Summary

You asked for it, so here it is - our thoughts on the brand new adaptation of Stephen King's It. Since this comes on the heels of our look back at the 1990 miniseries, certain comparisons were inevitable - but for the most part, we tried to tackle this one on its own terms. The film is obviously a massive success and a lot of its fans have already labeled it an instant classic, but does the HDYR gang agree?

Topics include: our thoughts on this interpretation of Pennywise, the amazing cast of child actors and which ones really stole our hearts, how successfully this version handles the lore surrounding It, how we feel about some of the deviations from the source material, theories about what those changes might mean for the sequel, our favorite and least favorite sequences, and much much more!

0:50.2	Well, before your It episode, I didn't realize it was a book.
0:55.1	Oh.
0:57.0	Learned a lot.
0:59.4	And I think your memory and mine differ here.
1:02.4	I definitely did not watch the web series.
1:06.2	The 1990 web series.
1:08.9	Only Al Gore saw it.
1:14.7	When other people find this, they're going to think it's downright spooky.
1:22.3	I definitely did not watch the miniseries growing up.
1:30.0	I've definitely heard of it. I knew that people were scared of clowns. It just, it was never on TV. My parents didn't rent it. So I just never entered
1:35.9	into my world until you and I had a discussion about it back when you first started dating.
1:40.2	And my memory is that you showed me clips from the first half.
1:44.5	Like you were fast-forwarding through the VHS tape.
