Scott and Kim C are back this week to chat about the second episode of HBO's Welcome to Derry: "The Thing in the Dark." This episode has everything: Pickle Dads, MORE Childbirth horror, and quite possibly the dumbest plot line in the history of Television. Despite all of that Kim and Scott both felt this was a pretty massive step up from the first episode. Come check out why!

Hey everyone! So thrilled to officially launch our temporary return to this feed as we cover the newest HBO King adaptation: IT: Welcome to Derry an episode at a time. For this adventure Scott will be joined by good friend of the podcast Kim C. of The Year of Underrated Stephen King Podcast. Kim and Scott will be here every Wendesday breaking down the latest episode of the show and chatting about what we think is and isn't working. This week, we chat about "The Pilot," the surprising and often frustrating first episode. Folks, we got Trouble with a capital T, and that rhymes with P, and that stands for... poor writing.

Hey folks! Remember us! Matt and Scott watched the new trailer for HBO's IT: Welcome to Derry (see it here: https://youtu.be/6HG-wsRsg8s?si=UbPxJFy_WzKyrJUc), and we had some thoughts about it that we just had to get out. But we couldn't do it alone! We invited our good friend Kim C. to come on the show and chat with us a little bit about this trailer, this show and our thoughts on all the forthcoming King adaptations. It's like getting the band back together... to complain about TV. Check out Kim's podcast: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/tyousk/ Do you miss us? Have you joined us in Flanagan's Wake yet?
