Summary

This week, Da7e and Neil continue the prep phase of their Derry era as they get closer to the premiere of Welcome to Derry on HBO at the end of the month. Which means it's time to talk about It: Chapter Two (2019).

In The Calm [04:14], they discuss the performances of the adult actors, the film's densely-packed and clunky plot, and highlight some deleted scenes from this movie that could prove to be important for the upcoming series. They also highlight the early work of one of the stars of Alien: Earth.

Then in The Storm [01:01:26], Da7e shares everything he knows about Welcome to Derry season one with six days to go before its premiere. Then Neil lays out a list of questions he expects the show to answer in its eight episode run.

Next week, Welcome to Derry begins airing on HBO and HBO Max on Sunday night. Then on Monday, your faithful hosts will be in your feeds with more Calm, more Storm, and plenty of other fun business.
