586: Clowning Around With It: Welcome To Derry

TV returns to the King-verse with HBO's It: Welcome To Derry, a prequel (or side...show?) of sorts for various characters from Stephen King's It -- and Josh Gondelman also returns to accept our apologies before talking about doing gory bits, using your best actors wisely, and the different kinds of tension. We're going Around The Dial with the nineteenth seasons of Married At First Sight and Taskmaster, plus Nightmares & Dreamscapes and The Lowdown, and Tara hopes we have Great News about her Canon pitch. The Pitt wins, various Nobody Wants This actors lose, and we're filling our pillowcases with points in a candy-based Non-Regulation Game Time. Grab a jar of pickles and join us!GUESTS👤 Josh GondelmanTOPICSLead Topic: 🤡 It: Welcome To DerryAround The Dial: 💍 Married At First SightAround The Dial: 🤠 The LowdownAround The Dial: 💌 TaskmasterAround The Dial: 😴 Nightmares & DreamscapesThe Canon: 📰 Great News S02.E05: Night Of The Living ScreenWinner & Loser: 🕳️ The PittWinner & Loser: 😑 Nobody Wants ThisGame Time: 🍫 Trick Or Treat WilliamsSUPPORT THE SHOW🔥 Join the EHG Club for bonus episodes, no ads, community Discord and more!🎧 Subscribe to EHG on Apple Podcasts for bonus episodes and no ads!🛍️ Shop our merch store!NOTES🗒 Full episode notes can be found on this episode's page on our site👍 Josh Gondelman's comedy special, Positive Reinforcement🙌 Josh's newsletter, That's Marvelous!🥱 Nightmares & Dreamscapes E05🧭 The text of "The Road Virus Heads North"🔥 The Extra Hot Great Club page🌀 Hurricane Melissa resource and donation links📷 Photo: Brooke Palmer / HBO
