It Chapter Two

Let’s go back to school with It Chapter Two. The Film Board made a pact last month that we’d return to Derry with the other losers if It came back. Well It’s here and in this one, the kids are all grown up with Jessica Chastain, Bill Hader, and James McAvoy playing our heroes. Will the sequel have the record-setting legs of its predecessor? Is It the greatest Stephen King thriller of all time? There’s a lot to talk about here as long as we’ve got the courage to fight the fear.Join Tommy Metz III, Steve Sarmento, Pete Wright, and Justin "JJ" Jaeger as they rifle through all the scary memories of It.
