Summary

Welcome back, everyone!  This week I give my final thoughts on 1986's masterpiece, Stephen King's It! I analyze the characters, themes and trace the patterns of King's tropes through the years as they evolved into the novel I spent the last three weeks discussing. If you're a fan of The Dark Tower, make sure you also listen to the special bonus episode in which I explore the relationship between this novel and the events of The Dark Tower series.
