Welcome to Derry: The Horror That Continues Giving and Connects to Real Life Scares

from Taking It Down

Without Adam and Donovan, what's Blaine to do (0:02)? He's in luck. He introduces one of the higher-ups at The Alabama Take (1:16), and Corey comes to the table to first recount 'Return of the Jedi' from years ago (2:01). From there, they briefly discuss this season of 'The Challenge: Vets and New Threats' (2:52) before getting into the meat of the show, which is HBO's 'IT: Welcome to Derry' and how the show successfully balances horror while remaining engaging for viewers in the nonspoiler section (4:56). For spoilers, it's about the plot of the series and if it can maintain its scares (18:35).
