IT: WELCOME TO DERRY - Episode 8: "Winter Fire" Dec 17, 2025

Show notes

At long last Scott and Kim reach the end of Season 1 of Welcome To Derry with episode 8: "Winter Fire." Does the show stick the landing? Does it set things up for future seasons? Does it make it worth all this time we've invested?

...sort of?

IT: WELCOME TO DERRY - Episode 7: "The Black Spot" Dec 10, 2025

Show notes

Scott and Kim continue their discussion of IT: Welcome to Derry with the incredible 7th episode: "The Black Spot." This is, without a doubt, the best episode of the show so far, and also perhaps it's most frustrating.

Show notes

Scott and Kim chat about episode 3 of Welcome to Derry, titled "Now You See It." And it, in this case, is... a good show! Finally after 3 episodes, Welcome to Derry really hits its stride. Well...except for that silly stuff at the end. But you can't win em all.

IT: WELCOME TO DERRY - Episode 2: "The Thing In the Dark" Nov 05, 2025

Show notes

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!

IT: WELCOME TO DERRY - Episode 1: "The Pilot" Oct 29, 2025

Show notes

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.
