It by Stephen King

from Offscript Hosted by Offscript

Welcome to Offscript, the podcast where literature meets cinema. Each week, hosts Bri & Alli compare books to their movie adaptations — exploring what worked, what didn’t, and whether the book really was better than the movie. From timeless classics to today’s bestsellers, we break down characters, themes, and the creative choices that shape stories on page and screen. 🎬 This Week’s Episode: It vs It — Movie vs Movie (90's vs 2017/19) Seven young outcasts in Derry, Maine, are about to face their worst nightmare -- an ancient, shape-shifting evil that emerges from the sewer every 27 years to prey on the town's children. Banding together over the course of one horrifying summer, the friends must overcome their own personal fears to battle the murderous, bloodthirsty clown known as Pennywise. Book Author: Stephen King We dive into the differences between Stephen King’s original remake and the 2017/2019 horror film remake, asking: Did the remake capture the same fear as the original? Or did it take too many liberties? 📚 Next Week’s Episode: Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton— streaming now on Netflix.
