It - Part I

When it comes to the 1990 miniseries based on Stephen King's IT, there are two types of people: those who maintain it's one of the scariest things they've ever seen... and those who insist a more objective viewing would reveal that it was never that great. With a new film adaptation on the horizon, the HDYR gang thought this was the perfect opportunity to find out where they stood on the matter. Topics include: ABC's original (and more ambitious) plans for the series, some of the key differences between this version and the source material, the unusual pattern with Mike's phone calls to his old friends, Chris' bad luck with love letters, one of the key reasons that the first half is more effective than the second, how completely Tim Curry disappears into this performance, why the limitations of network television instantly limited the impact these stories might have had, how a giant turtle is the key everything, and much much more! iTunes / Stitcher / RSS / Facebook / Twitter / Instagram About The Show
