Summary
In The Calm [04:26], they discuss how the film was developed by Cary Fukunaga before ultimately landing in the hands of Andy Muschietti. They explore the adaptation choices that led to more of Bill Skarsgård's Pennywise ending up on screen, chart the timeline of the Derry's horrific history, and highlight what elements of the book were left out.
Then in The Storm [01:15:38], Da7e breaks down the red band trailer for Welcome to Derry.
Next week, the pod heads back to Derry for 2019's It: Chapter Two and a final preview of everything we know about Welcome to Derry prior to its debut.
