Bonus: IT: WELCOME TO DERRY Trailer Reactions w/ Kim C. May 23, 2025

Show notes

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.
