IT: The Fear We Carry PT. 2

IT: The Fear We Carry PT. 2

2024-12-17

In this episode, we take a look into the IT universe, comparing the iconic 1990 miniseries to the 2017 and 2019 remakes. We kick things off with a recap of the original story, exploring Stephen King’s terrifying tale of Pennywise the Clown, the Losers’ Club, and their lifelong battle against fear.

We’ll break down the standout performances in both Chapter One and Chapter Two, discussing who shined brightest among the cast and whether Bill Skarsgård’s modern Pennywise holds a candle to Tim Curry’s legendary portrayal.

Then, we tackle the big question: What happened between Chapter One and Chapter Two? Why did the sequel fail to capture the magic of its predecessor? Was it tone, pacing, or something else entirely?

We’ll compare the original miniseries to the remakes and ask: Which version does it better, and do remakes like this add value or just mess with nostalgia?

Plus, stick around for fun movie facts, audience ratings, and horror movie recommendations that will keep you up at night. Whether you’re Team Curry or Team Skarsgård, there’s something here for every Stephen King fan!
