I'm Salutations, welcome to Pod Mortem.

I'm Renee Hunter Vasquez, joined as always by my co-host, my husband, and my brother.

Hi, I'm John Paul Vasquez.

Hi, I'm Travis Hunter.

This week, we're recording live

from the Barrens discussing the 2017 supernatural horror film, Itchapter 1. This film is directed by

Andy Mushietti with a screenplay by Chase Palmer, Carrie Fukenaga, and Gary Dobberman,

based off of the classic 1986 Stephen King novel. With both the novel and the 1990 miniseries to build from,

It Chapter 1 retells the classic story with a modern twist.

This film takes risks with its 1980s backdrop and unique version of Pennywise

while still remaining faithful to its source material.

This film was recommended to us by friend of the show Deanna Chapman. For talk on all

things Stephen King, check out her podcast, Chat Cemetery. If you're a constant reader, you don't

want to miss it. So, what did you guys think about It Chapter 1 the first time you saw it?

I think we've seen this in the movie theaters, right? We did. All right. I do remember liking it. I'm not going to lie, we've seen it in the movie theaters, right? We did. All right. Um, I do remember liking it. I'm not gonna lie,

we seen it that one time, right? And then, yeah, that was it. So, yeah, uh, I, I, I, I don't enjoy a

lot of child like actors, like sometimes the kids can be annoying in movies but I feel like in this one they

did a really good job definitely they it was funny it was great you were like wanting to see what

they were going to do next and I do remember like in the movie and watching it this time I mean it was

it was you know it wasn't as good as watching it the first time.

I do still like it, but I, I've got some problems watching it.

No, I agree.
