This is Emily, Henley, and Sammy, and you're listening to Too Scary, Didn't Watch. Hi, Scaredy Cats. Welcome to Too Scary, Didn't Watch, the horror movie recap podcast for those too scared to watch for themselves. I just put on a radio voice as I said that. We love it. I am Emily. I am too scared, as always, to watch scary movies. I'm Henley, and I'm way too scared to watch scary movies. I'm particularly scared of today's episode. I'm Sammy. I'm your resident brave person getting through all these scary movies. I'm particularly scared of today's episode. I'm Sammy. I'm your resident

brave person getting through all these scary movies. She's so brave. Extremely brave. I watch a horror movie a week now. I thought about that today. I was like, oh man, Sammy just keeps watching scary movies. This is not what I

used to do. But it's good. It's getting me more used to them. I mean, but it's good. It's getting me more used to them. And we're joined as always by Silent Jenna. Jenna on the headset. Jenna on the headset. And so, you know, it's a new week. Let's just check in with each other as if we don't talk, you know, all the time. But Penley, did anything scary happen to you this week? So I was really racking my brain thinking if anything scary happened. And the scariest dang thing I could think of was the fact that when I was coming home from my trip this weekend, I was on a road trip. I was very hungry. We stopped to eat pizza.

We had to wait a long time for this pizza to be ready. It was a mom and pop shop, you know. And it came out and it was steaming hot. And I just shoved the pizza directly into my mouth and truly like burnt off the entire top of my mouth. Oh no. It was like blistered. It was awful. I saw a movie this week called The Nightingale.

It's the director of The Babadook. It's her second movie. But it's not a horror. But it's the most I've ever cried in any movie ever. Oh, my God. Literally cried start to finish. Had to stay in the theater until the lights came on to, like, keep crying. Thought I would be maybe done crying by then.

I wasn't. Cried all the way to my car. Cried the whole drive home. It sounds like you needed that cry. And then cried. No, no. i think it was just the movie and then cried at home for like an additional three hours but it got to a point where i cried for so long that i was actually laughing while crying because i was like this is so crazy and so i'd be like petting my cat crying and then laughing and then like laughing at how insane I looked. And then re-remembering parts in the movie and crying again.

It was wild. Wow. Emily, what about you? Tell us about your week. I'm really shoehorning it in. Because I haven't done much this week. But what I did do is start watching Succession. And so I guess the scary thing is that it took me this long.

Do you see how i made that work um i have been obsessed with it oh my god it's like the best thing i've ever seen it's so good i texted my friend yesterday this show is astounding because i like truly it's so funny but it is also devastating and everyone is so good and i'm like I can't stop thinking about it. I have a big crush on Jeremy Strong which should come next. Which one is that one? He's Kendall Oh that checks out completely It should come as no surprise to anyone

I have a crush on literally everybody in anything ever We should get him on the pod I bet he's accessible Jeremy if you're listening to this we would love to have you on. This week's film. This week's film is It.

It came out in 2017, directed by Andy Muschietti. It's starring Bill Skarsgård, Sophia Lillis, Jaden Martell, Finn Wolfhard. From Stranger Things. From Stranger Things. From Stranger Things. That's right. Okay. I'm so excited to introduce our guest this week. It's William Hughes.

I went to high school with William Hughes. I went to college with William. And we lived together after college as well. So our stars are crossed. You know what I mean? I do, yeah. He's a comedy writer who's currently working on Slutty Teenage Bounty Hunters. To be clear, I'm a writer, but I'm not at this time writing for Slutty Teenage Bounty Hunters.

Well, he's working on it. I'm an assistant. He's a showrunner's assistant. It's great. Yeah. So I'm so happy you're here. Thank you for joining us. Thanks, guys.

It's great to be here. William, did anything serious happen to you this week um i had some scarily bad sex on saturday you guys this guy was so hot why was it so bad it was i mean basically like we started having sex and it was just like he just jackhammer fucked me for like a minute and a half. Oh no. It came. And then he was like, did you cum? I'm a guy. Like, you can know if I cum. Oh, you're pretty clear.

Like, you can know. It was the worst sex I've had in ages. And it was scary. Kept me up at night for a couple of days. That's, I think, scarier than my pizza story. I don't know about that. I mean, we're not comparing. We're not comparing. You're right, you're right. It's not a competition. It's not a

competition. William, what is your relationship to scary movies? In general, are you a fan? Are you a big watcher? I'm a huge fan of anything sort of genre within the fantasy sci-fi world. That is like my bread and butter, my cup of tea, you know, whatever. But it's a horror intersects with that a lot. If a movie is too

scary for you, what is in it if that's the the case what scares me more than jump scares is just that like sick to your stomach sense of dread and tension like hereditary like that kind of stuff that makes me like oh same uh i hate that this is it scary to you for you it is fun there's gore there's guts there's jump scares there's ridiculous it's ridiculous i love this movie well i want to see it i'm like very excited to do this podcast because i think it will tell me whether or not i can see it and when i looked it up it is very highly rated it's good it's well made it's super fun it's funny it's a fun story it's like a rick rolly kind of like adventure talking about it's a fun story it's fun no i i'm sorry i have to like disagree those are like the number one keywords

using is fun have you seen it no i haven't seen it but i have read the first 25 pages of the book as an eight-year-old and it scarred me i was gonna ask you because henley is a big reader. Do you read anything scary or no? No, not really. I mean, I would like to read more scary things, actually. But I don't know if it's okay to say. But I always thought Stephen King books were like generally pretty boring. They're so long, you know? They're thick books. They're all kind of the same in their weird ways.

Oh, my God. This podcast, look at us tearing Stephen King. That's no Stephen King. You know what, little break from bullying Stephen King and make ourselves a cocktail. This week's cocktail is a clown's cup, chosen for my favorite murderous clown, Pennywise. To make a clown's cup, you'll need two ounces of vodka, three quarters an ounce of fresh lime juice, a half an ounce of simple syrup, and four cucumber wheels. In a shaker, you will muddle the cucumber with the simple syrup. Add the remaining ingredients and shake with ice,

strain over ice into a tumbler, and garnish with your cucumber wheel. Mm-mm. I looked up some reviews, and this was from Esquire. By the end of the film's first scene, you know this is not a late 90s adaptation of It. This is a brutal, R-rated horror film,

one that begins with a shocking scene of violence committed against a child. The cutest child ever, too. Is that what makes it fun? Georgie? Honestly, yeah.

My first note, you guys, in bold is the violence against children in this film is great. I don't know. It's what makes it fun. The violence against children in this film is great. You typed up. It's what we did live. The violence against children. No, Pennywise is a comedic genius, I'm just gonna say it. He's so funny. Pennywise or Bill

Scars? Pennywise. I mean, it's like both. One and the same? You know how people say, like, Donald Trump is funny? Like, he's horrible, but he's funny? Like, it's true. He's kind of funny. Like, he's hilarious. He's got great comedic timing.. It's true. He's kind of funny. He's hilarious. He's got great community. He pushes the envelope. People go the distance. Comparison does

make me sort of understand what you mean. Yeah. Maybe. That's helpful, I guess. Disgusting in every way, but you're like, man, you love what you're doing. You know that he was having a lot of fun. You can tell. That's great.

I mean, we all should be so lucky as to love what we do. Self-care. A little fun fact that I did look up when I was looking at trivia about this film is that Bill Skarsgård was the fourth person to be offered this role. The first was Tim Curry to bring back the role.

He said no. That would not have worked. Yeah, he turned it down. Ben Mendelsohn also offered the role. He said no. That would not have worked. Yeah, he turned it down. Ben Mendelsohn also offered the role. Interesting. Interesting choice. He was interested, but then there were negotiations with the studio. Didn't work out. Then, and this one's interesting and relevant to our

podcast, Will Poulter. Who's that? He is in Midsommar. He's like the shitty friend that's... He loses his face, yes? Yes, he's the skin suit man that they wear his skin as a mask. The funny one who tucked his pants into his socks. I didn't notice that.

Because of the tics. Because of the tics. Oh, yeah. He was worried about Lyme disease. He was. He was very scared of bugs. It just goes to show why we do this podcast. You get a different take from every person who sees a film.

So yeah, he was offered the role. Interesting. I was going to say, I thought he actually was going to be it. He was going to be it, but scheduling conflicts forced him to drop out. And then it wasn't until after that that they even auditioned Bill Skarsgård. So he wasn't like he was the fourth runner up. This trivia really wanted to make it clear that he was not the fourth runner up. And the director himself is offered the role to Bill Skarsgård.

And he didn't offer the role to anybody else. He is absolutely perfect. He's fantastic. He should win an Oscar. Wow. Wow. It's kind of unbelievable what he does. All right.

Should we watch this trailer? I'm so excited. I love this trailer. I'm so excited. I don't know how to watch it. You have to watch it watch this trailer? I'm so excited. I love this trailer. I'm so excited. I don't know how it's going. You have to watch it, Henley. I'm going to watch it, I guess. What happens when another Georgie goes missing?

Or one of us? Are you just going to pretend it isn't happening like everyone else in this town? If we stick together holy shit i mean this movie like they pack it full of, like, every type of scares. Like, body horror, jump scares. Oh, my God. Let's do it. I'm ready. Okay. So, basically, it's set in June 1989, which is when I was born, in Derry, Maine.

And it focuses on a group of kids called the Losers Club. And the main one is Bill. And Bill's brother is Georgie. The little guy. The little guy. Pennywise is the clown. And then the other kids in the Losers Club are Beverly. She's the only girl. Mike is kind of an outlier. He is actually homeschooled. They team up later. And then Richie is Finn Wolfhard fromhard from stranger things he's kind of the like sassy one of the group ben is the chubby cute kid sweet little ben and eddie is i think maybe my favorite he's like a hypochondriac kid um but yeah they're they're the losers club and

they're kind of dorks and they get bullied a lot there's a lot of like crazy bullies in this movie that do some really fucked up shit let's get into it yeah let's get into it i want to know what happens you know with some exceptional violence against a child it shows um so it shows the the kid um georgie bill oh bill and george and georgie they're brothers bill's and while he has a stutter he's the older brother that's kind of his defining characteristic it's raining bill is sick georgie wants to go make this cute little paper boat um and float it down because it's raining and the rain is going down the side of the street into the gutter and he wants to race it down there so his older brother bill a really good older brother helps him fold the boat and he put georgie puts on this um iconic yellow iconic

we've all seen it we've all seen it and And he puts the little boat in a little gutter on the side of the street, runs with it as it goes downhill. There's some sort of construction sign he doesn't see. He hits it and falls over. And he's like, oh, no, the boat's getting away. And he watches as the boat goes down into a storm drain. Oh, no, no. And he goes there and he's like, oh, no, my boat's in there.

It goes down. All of a sudden, these two pairs of yellow eyes come into the darkness. And it is there, it being the clown, the clown the scary creepy clown just hanging out in the um storm drain and georgie's even like yo what are you doing down there and he's like uh the circus got washed away by the hurricane and he's like oh man and then they sort of kind of like chit chat and they chit chat and georgie's like well i'm not supposed to talk to strangers and he's like well i'm pennywise the dancing clown like now we're not strangers anymore and like georgie like giggles and laughs like as if it's not the

most terrifying situation he's like ha i guess you're right now we're friends yeah and it talks in this really sort of like really creepy but also sort of playful giggly terrifying way i'd say the scariest thing about it too is he'll be like giggling and laughing like obviously trying to like manipulate georgie and then he'll like kind of slip into this like little trance where he's like dead behind in the eyes and is like eww it's so scary it's amazing it being like the clown and so then

you know Georgie's kind of a little boat back and the clown's like here you go and he's like reach for it and so Georgie reaches his hand to the storm drain and then we see its mouth kind of open up really wide all these rows of teeth and he just bites Georgie's arm

and rips it off. And Georgie's like five years old maybe. And Georgie pulls out. His arm is completely ripped off. It's squirting blood everywhere. And then the clown. He's trying to like crawl away with his one arm.

And then you see the clown's arm reach out and Georgie's still probably like three feet away. But I mean the clown, he does like his limbs change every he's like shape he's a shapeshifter basically so his arm grows kind of long and just grabs georgie and yanks him down in the storm drain and so you're like yeah right away you're like okay like this film like they're gonna go in the tone oh they're gonna go there so if you're a new parent a bad day means you either ran out of coffee, diapers, patients, or all of the above.

I used to love back-to-school shopping so much that I would tell my mom that I wanted to work at Staples when I grew up because I just loved getting all the things that I needed that I would use every day in class. I still to this day have nightmares about showing up in class without notebooks or number two pencils. Really scary stuff. But luckily I wake up and I realize I

don't actually need notebooks or number two pencils anymore. But this fall there is something that I will be using every day and would be terrified to be caught without.

Buyraycon.com slash too scary by raycon dot com slash too scary uh next thing we see is that character we we go to june 1989 that's right um which is the present in the movie and we see uh mike works at the slaughterhouse and he has one of these um uh it's like a cattle killing gun but it's not a real gun it just shoots some sort of like it's like a metal killing gun, but it's not a real gun. It just shoots some sort of like metal. It's like a metal rod that it goes into your brain. It triggers and kills. It doesn't like, it doesn't expel.

It goes back into the gun and he can't fight. His uncle's like, you know, kill the sheep. And he's too afraid to do it. He's a kid. And his uncle's like, you got to toughen up.

And like, you know, that's going to come back. And then we go to the school and we see the losers club. There's the stranger things guy. There's Bill with the stutterer. There eddie with the hypochondriac and then the jewish boy what's his name oh stanley stanley and stanley is the the jewish one and then we see beverly in the bathroom and her first scene is that she's in the bathroom kind of hiding by herself everyone's kind of mean to her they there's a rumor going on that she's a slut and everyone's

mean the true monster in this movie is, say it with me, bullying. Patriarchy. Well. Okay. Yes. Sexual promiscuity. And then these mean girls in the bathroom, they take a trash bag and they fill it with water and they dump it over the bathroom stall onto Beverly.

That's so mean. Why would you do that? They're just mean. They're really mean. That's like the tamest bully. It's really. The bullying is really horrible. It's really crazy. Then Beverly goes outside and meets uh the new kid who's also is defining

characteristic is he's chubby um and his name is ben ben new kid ben uh there's something so cute he's really cute that he has a huge crush on beverly right off the bat and those are sort of and at the same time he likes new kids on the block he likes new kids on the block he was really cute and um and then we meet uh the the bully his name is like henry i think he's just like the classic like he's got a mullet he's got a mullet he drives like a cool car he's got daddy issues he wears like a white beater he's just like the bully and he's a jackass um then we see bill and this is a few months after his little brother disappeared bill goes goes to his garage, and he's all these hamster tubes sort of set up. And he does this experiment with a hose and water and a little action figure because he has this theory that Georgie was in the storm drain and that he's going to be somewhere. He's like recreating the underground sewage system.

It's really sad. He's trying to figure out where Georgie is because they never found a body. And I guess his dad works at the public works, so he stole some sort of map from his dad's office or something. His dad's like, Billy's gone. Don't do this to your family. Oh, sorry. Georgie's gone. Don't do this to your family.

It's really quite sad. All the dads in this suck. I'll say that. Are they hot? Bad dads. No hot dads. Just bad dads. Zero hot dads.

We have a bad mom, too. Not even worth the poll. And so basically, these are our main characters here. And then we see each of them start to have these. The clown is not hot. We'll do a poll about whether or not he would fuck Pennywise afterwards. Don't worry, guys. So it gets confusing because I can still see Bill Skarsgård a little bit there.

All I saw was it. There was no Bill. It was all it. I'm filling in the blanks, I guess. So then we kind of see each of the characters on their own. And they each have a scary vision, a scary thing happened to them first we see mike uh he's you know going to the butcher shop with a bass on his bike with a basket full of meat and um his vision is kind of weird it's like this big wooden door at the chain and all of a sudden the door starts rattling and there's like

fire and smoke come out you see all these black hands come out oh my god i think they're black because they're burned they're burned They're like charred skin. You find out later it's kind of his parents. And so basically- I thought that one was really scary. It was. It was like the first one we saw too. It's pretty early on.

And then the hands pull back and the door bursts open and you see Pennywise like in the meat locker, his like yellow eyes glowing. And I don't know if he's maybe like giggling or something. I think he's hanging on a hanging sheep too. He's hanging on a like meat hook. Oh. And he's swinging on it.

I don't know. Or like a dream or. No, so okay. Pennywise is like. Pennywise is a Boggart from Harry Potter basically. He basically appears as your biggest fear. Yeah, whatever your biggest fear is. He's a Boggart.

He's basically a Boggart. He shapeshifts into that, which is kind of revealing about the characters. I mean it comes up later so we kind of see each of these young characters mean but here's another example of how crazy the bullying is as he's like staring at pennywise in the meat locker the bullies hit that hit him with their car they're like drive he's on his bike he's just standing alleyway with their car. And they plow through him and hit him with the car. That's not bullying, Dad. That's like attempted murder.

I know. No, it gets... All the bullying is essentially attempted murder from here on out. And then the next we see Stanley at the synagogue, and there's this creepy painting on the wall. It's kind of like a Picasso-esque woman whose face is sort of warped. It's like a melty face. Yeah. Like a lopsided face. It's interesting because I found it really believable. esque woman whose face is sort of warped like a melty face yeah i thought it was kind of interesting

because i found it really believable i was like if i was a little kid and i saw a scary looking painting like that would scare me yeah um but it was kind of random oh that was his scary moment was the scary painting so then the painting essentially falls off the wall falls off the wall he turns around to go hang it back up and then the like lady is well the painting is missing he puts it on the wall the painting is missing she's out of the frame and then he turns around and she's like behind him in the room and like lunges at him and he runs downstairs or whatever and gets away um then eddie my favorite character they're they like meet up at his house and his mom is very creepy she's like did you remember your medication and aren't you forgetting something like come give me a kiss and all the friends are there

and they're like making fun of him kind of and yeah she's just weird and then okay so ben is next ben scary moment ben isn't friends with them the chubby kid he's new he's new and he's in the library because he's doesn't have friends i guess and he's just looking through dairy history books and he sees an image in the book that says what does it say easter day explosion explosion at an ironworks facility killed uh 88 children and 102 people in total right oh my god in 1988 children in iron it was in 1908 so i think there were like no child labor laws basically right um and then none of the adults like notice the weird things happening so basically he's in the library he's getting freaked out. The book's pages are turning quickly or whatever and

a red balloon starts floating past him in the library and he follows it down to the basement level and Oh god. Oh god. Here we go. Bad things always happen down low.

Don't get into the basement. Just don't go there. Don't stay on the ground floor or above. Yeah. And then he's down there and he hears someone coming. And down the steps, there's like these creepy footsteps. And this person is coming. It's like a child's body.

And you see that they're holding a bunch of Easter eggs. And then as they get down far enough, you see that it's a boy and he runs back into the librarian. And then everything goes back to normal. And so the adults like can't see what's happening. It's just the kids. Oh, interesting. Okay. So the next scene is that kid going home.

And then this is when the bullies come. And it's really bad. This is fucked up. I thought the most disturbing part of the movie was that he was on a covered bridge. And the bullies come up. And they basically, he demands the wall. and the main bully is like, he takes out a switchblade. He's like, I'm going to carve my name into your stomach.

And he does. He starts carving his name. Oh my God. He carves an H into his stomach. Holy shit. It's really fucked up. And he's like screaming, being like, please stop. It's so fucked up and crazy.

Oh my God. And so then he kind of throws himself backwards off this covered bridge to escape rolls down a hill what the bullies chase after him and in the fall the main bully what do you say his name is harold henry henry loses his switchblade he's like fuck it's my dad he's gonna kill me and then um the kid gets away and he runs to the creek where he runs into the scooby gang and the sc Scooby gang are all there checking out sorry they're not the Scooby gang. Losers club. The losers club. Let's call the Scooby gang. I like that better.

The loser club are at the entrance to this like in one of the sewer drain pipes sort of situation. They're looking for Georgie so they've gone into the place where Bill has kind of calculated that Georgie would be most likely to have come down to if he had just fallen into the sewer months ago. Yeah.

Months ago. It's true. I mean, it's not going to be good. You're finding a dead kid one way or the other. Yeah. So Ben runs up like behind them running away from the bullies and they're like, what's going on?

And they all, they like take him to go to the drugstore they leave they're not there but then the bully comes there and thinks that they must have gone and hid in the sewer and this is not henry this is another bully and he has like an aerosol can with a lighter and he's like doing like a flamethrower thing being like i'm gonna get you kids and going deeper and deeper into the sewer well meanwhile like kids are going missing all throughout the town like george is not the first the second one was a young woman and we see the

ghost of the young woman who's the most recent missing i think she i think they're kind of like waterlogged corpsey types yeah and then they think they they turn into it and they kill the guy they kill the bully they kill the most recent now he's the most recent. Now he's the new missing kid. Missing kid. Missing kid of the week, basically. And then, meanwhile, the Losers Club has taken Ben to a drugstore to get Band-Aids and stuff for his letter that was carved into his stomach. And they run into Beverly there, the girl.

And she's buying tampons. It's an important thing. As it is for all of us at that time yep and um they're all just kind of think she's like super cute they're all like nervously like oh hi hi and she's nervous because she's buying tampons and they kind of team up in this moment they're like we need to buy him supplies but we don't have money so she like creates a diversion she flirts with the pharmacist. They get the supplies. She goes home. She has her

tampons. She's trying to hide them. Her creepo dad immediately is like, hey, Bevy. He's like, what you got there? She's like, nothing. He opens it up, sees the tampons, and he's like, you're still my little girl, right, though? You're still my little girl. And he strokes her hair and touches her face and is really creepy. It's so sick her dad is

off i mean you get the impression and very quick that he's like molesting her for sure oh no i don't like that one little bit no it's not good and and and then this is where she has like in her like rebellion right she cuts her hair off goes to the bathroom cuts it all off and the hair goes down the kitchen sink the bathroom sink drain drain. Right, right, right, right. And then next we see the boys at a quarry, which like, I don't know why kids are always fucking hanging on quarries in movies. Have you guys ever hung out in a water-filled quarry like in the summer with your friends in your small town?

Like, they always fucking do it. I've never seen that before. I can't say that I have. So all the boys are there in their tighty-whities. They're going to jump off the edge of the quarry and they're like, I'm too scared. I'm too scared. I'm too scared. And then Beverly appears. And she's like, hey, boys.

Takes off her clothes. And she's like, I'll go first. Good for her. And runs and jumps off. And they're all like, you got showed up by a girl. Yeah. Oh, wow. OK.

That's great. Beverly's cool. Beverly's so cool. And I feel like then there's like a little exposition scene where they're all kind of. And on her period, she goes swimming in the quarry. My gosh. I can't believe. And she had a brief. Her underwear the quarry. I cannot believe.

Her underwear was white too, I think. She's got tampons so she feels pretty confident. Pale blue. Just, I can't remember the whole conversation, but there's some like exposition scene here where Ben is telling them basically what he read in the library and he says kids disappear

six times the national average here. He says kids disappear six times the national average. He says adults disappear six times the national average. That's right. Kids are much worse. Kids are worse. Much, much worse. Wow. And then they go to his house and it's like his whole bedroom is a conspiracy wall.

Photos of all newspapers everywhere, like missing children, like everything. And he says that it was originally, he tells him the history of Derry. It was originally a beaver trapping town and the little Stranger Things kid is like, still is. It was a good line. So I guess there's a beaver trapping town and all these beaver trappers disappeared mysteriously.

They think it was Indians, but they found nothing except a bunch of bloody clothes leading to the well house. Somebody goes, where's the well house? Also, what is a well house? Yeah,, where's the well house? Uh-oh. Also, what is a well house? Yeah, well, I was going to ask. Nobody was going to ask.

Oh, is that the rundown house that they go to? Then they see a haunted house, and it's like. It's like this rundown, like dilapidated place. Like really creepy. I mean, it could not be scarier, which is the site of the well house. But we see Eddie walking by himself. Eddie's walking, the hypochondriac he's walking by himself past it and drops his medication or something and then as he's like leaning down

to grab it a like very gross hand comes to also grab it and he looks up and it's like the sickest most disgusting man no he's a leper i guess he looks like a zombie his nose is more like a zombie his face is all messed up his face is melting so his biggest fear because yes exactly so he's hypochondriac so this this man is like disease and like death personified okay wait i want to tell um i want to say this next part so the next is beverly's scare so beverly goes home and um she's in her bathroom looking at herself in the mirror you know like tortured ever and she hears these whispers being like help us help us you'll float too coming from whatever. And she hears these whispers being like, help us, help us. You'll float too, coming from the drain.

And she's like, what are those? Kind of listening. And then she takes a tape measurer and she puts it down the drain a couple inches. And it just keeps going and going and going deeper than it ever should. And then she pulls it up. And at the bottom you see it's bloodstained. And she pulls up this, like all of her hair matted with blood in this long tendril. And then all the tendrils like shoot out like vines and they whip around her head and her arms and they pull her forward.

It's like really disturbing, like pulling her down over the sink. And then up from this drain comes this huge gush of blood like shooting up right in her face. It like covers the whole bathroom. It's like a fire hydrant amount of blood like blowing up. It's insane. It's really crazy. And she, I think. And as we know, she's on her period.

So like blood shooting all out of like pipes. Wow. Okay. So she, I think breaks away from the hair that's holding her down into the sink and is like screaming and like throws herself into the corner of the bathroom. Her dad comes in hearing the commotion and she's like, the corner of the bathroom her dad comes in hearing the commotion and she's like look at all the blood like can you see all the blood and he's like what blood like i i don't so it's still covering the bathroom it's covering the bathroom every single surface is red it's like the whole bathroom she's covered in blood and he can't see

anything um so then we cut to bill in his room or he like hears something coming from Georgie's room and goes to check that out and sees Georgie in his little raincoat running across like the hallway down to the basement. Once again, don't go into the basement. And he goes into the basement. The basement's flooded. It's flooded too. Why is it flooded?

I don't know. He's so chill about it too. Maybe it's like in his mind, I guess. It's flooded, too. Why is it flooded? I don't know. He's so chill about it, too. Maybe it's like in his mind, I guess. It's probably not actually flooded. Yeah, like because of the rain associated with Georgie. Oh, the storm's rain. Emily, putting things together left and right. Wow.

I'm kind of an expert. So he follows him down into the basement and Georgie's like hiding in this little corner saying, we're all floating down here, Bill. And if you join us, you'll float too. You'll float too. Wait, that's what they were saying out of the storm drain too, right? Or not the storm drain, but Beverly's bathroom drain was saying, you'll float.

So you hear these, it happens a lot where you hear like little whispers of you'll float too. And you don't really know, we don't know what it means yet. So as he's saying, you'll float too, you see pennywise's head like come out of the water and then he basically like lunges at who runs up the stairs and then pennywise like falls over and he doesn't really pursue people past like one small defeat so he like gets out of the basement and then pennywise leaves him alone so georgie and pennywise were both there well pennywise like was georgie so pennywise is basically making bill see georgie pennywise is the headless ghost pennywise is the black right it's all he's like in their heads it's basically like making you see this thing

and then so next we see um the losers are just going by and then they see a bike on the side of the road, Mike's bike, and also the bully's car on the side of the road. And they're like, oh no, these bullies are clearly terrorizing Mike. Let's go save him. So then we see Mike and he's getting beat up by the bullies. They're shoving his face in the ground, making him eat dirt. So are these the same bullies that carves? The same bullies.

They're horrible. And then while they're doing this to Mike, Mike looks over by the side in the ground, making him eat dirt. So are these the same bullies that carved? The same bullies. They're horrible. And then, and then, while they're doing this to Mike, Mike looks over, they're by the side of the creek, looks over to the reeds and sees Pennywise in the reeds

and he is shaking a child-severed limb at him. Like waving. Okay, so now we get the comedy. Waving, holding, it's my favorite part of the whole movie. It's so funny and disgusting.

Oh my God. Like a little boy's arm. He's like, ew. It's so funny and disgusting. Like a little boy's arm. I think it's supposed to be Georgie's arm. Pennywise's face is like covered in blood. He takes a bite of it. Because he also eats little kids. This is awful. I hate it so much. So then the Losers Club arrive.

The bully picks up a rock. He's about to smash Mike's head in like this murderous fucking bully. And then the Losers arrive. They start hurling rocks and they basically save Mike. And just like that, Mike is part of the losers club. Then there's another little quick Ben revealing another piece of information where he says, it seems that this happens every 27 years. Like people disappear in higher numbers every 27 years.

And then it kind of lays low for a bit. And then Ben is giving a presentation about every 27 years all about the murder. And that's a slideshow, basically. He does a slideshow. And as we're showing this, all of a sudden it starts clicking on its own and moving really fast. And it's family photos of Billy. And then each one, it goes click, click, click. And it keeps zooming into Georgie's face.

Oh, God. And they're like, make it stop, make it stop. And then we see a red-haired woman. It's the mom, I think. With her hair. Oh, yeah. And they're like, make it stop, make it stop. And then we see a red-haired woman. It's the mom, I think. And it's like the hair, like, moves out into her face and then out of her face and she becomes Pennywise and they're, like, screaming, like, turn it off, turn it off.

And I think they've, like, unplugged it at this point and it doesn't matter, like, it's still going. And then it finally, like, goes black. Oh, God. And then, like, all the lights come on and Pennywise is there and no like huge he's the size of the projection so is he's i mean he's on his hands and knees in the garage his head is probably like 10 feet tall yeah he's enormous i thought this was the scariest jump scare i saw

um so they go to the dilapidated house because they kind of figure out that's where he is i guess that's the well house that's where the well everything is connected and there's a point earlier where richie finn wolfhard stranger things kid was he hasn't had like a run-in yet like all of them have had visions at this point oh yeah and he's like do only virgins get this or what they drew they draw sticks for who's gonna wait outside and called like uh be guarded he's like well if you're measuring dicks like i'm struggling to imagine this actor inhabiting that role honestly he's good i thought he was good so they go into the creepy house and they basically it it just creeps them all and tries to separate them it's trying to separate them it gets eddie

first and he like falls through the house and like oh breaks his arm breaks his arm real crazy it like 45 degree angle it's like gross and then as so it's bill and richie and then another door opens that's the room full of clowns, like doll clowns. And Richie goes in there. But OK, so then Richie finally has his scary moment. And they're like, well, if you haven't had one yet, like, what's your biggest fear? And he's like, clowns. Oh, no.

And so now he's. Do you know that Pennywise is a clown at this point? Yeah, because they've all seen him as a clown. They've all seen him in some respect. Has anybody seen like a really creepy clown recently? And they're like, oh my god, I thought I was the only one. And his name is Pennywise the Dancing Clown.

The Dancing Clown. You sound like Conan O'Brien when he does his podcast. He does that voice all the time. That's such a compliment. Another person that i have a big crush on add him to the list oh my god come on the pod yeah conan come on the pod we know you're listening um oh my god so his biggest fear is clowns not great biggest fear is clowns and he's locked in a room with a bunch of clowns and there's like a coffin in the middle of the room that he opens. Of course, as you do. And it's him in the coffin.

Well, it's like a creepy marionette version of him, but like a corpse with maggot versions. And then he closes it. And then as he's walking away, like outbursts Pennywise and lunges at him. Oh, no. And I don't really remember how he gets out of the room. Well, there's one part, too, is that

when we see um eddie with his broken arm by himself because he fell to the floor pennywise is like toying with him like he takes his like broken arm and he goes like pretends to eat it oh my god it's it's really it's really funny it is funny and then he says he's a funny guy he goes I mean he's having a good time he's a comedic genius of our time he goes your fear your tasty tasty fear and so you get the sense that he is some sort of like energy vampire

feeding off their fear which goes along with the whole deepest fear stuff so basically I'm not really sure what happens they all get out of the house they re-break Eddie's arm one more thing in the house that I want to say because I think it's funny is basically Richie gets away from the clown room and joins back up with Bill. And then one of the rooms has three doors and it's written in blood on each of the doors. One is scary.

One is very scary. And one is not scary at all. Okay. So they open up the not scary at all one and it's like a dumb move but it's also like hey they're all gonna be scary maybe he's telling the truth i feel like i would go straight into it i think i would split the difference i would go into scary if it were me i would go in the middle one yeah um. So they go not scary at all. And it is scary. But then Bill kind of realizes.

It is scary. It is like a corpse hanging. With severed in half. Severed in half. Oh, look where her legs. Bill kind of realizes at this point that their fear is what's making it real. So he's like, just believe that it's not scary. Oh.

And then that works. And they get downstairs to save Eddie. Genius. And Pennywise kind of withers away, like, because they're saying, we're not scared of you. Whoa. I think you go. No, it's all of them kind of group up. The other three come in at the same time.

And they kind of realize that when they're all together and they're all like we're not scared like fuck off that's when they have power and then he shrinks away and he's like i think he goes down the well in the basement doesn't he probably but they leave and they're like okay the reason we survived that is because we were all together and we like confronted him and we weren't scared and we stuck together so we need to stick together but everyone's like most of them are like really freaked out at this point. So I feel like Eddie's like, no, like I'm going home. Like I'm I don't want to do this shit. Like, fuck this.

And they all split up and they have a little montage of all being so on their own. Then it goes to August 1989, which is when I was born. Oh, my God. I can't wait was born. Oh my God. I can't wait till we get to my birthday. There was a few quick images kind of in the time jump. One of which is a painting, which I think is in the library, an old and timey painting showing a woman holding a baby over a well. Did you notice that?

No, I didn't. It was a really quick image. And that kind of, it's like, you get the sense that there's some sort of ancient evil, ancient God in this town who they were sacrificing babies to it's like a quick image but it sort of explains that interesting and so then it goes to august um you know cut to the end of the summer and we see the bully doing bully things at his house like shooting cats or some shit and there's a red a red balloon in his mailbox and a gift and he opens it up and it's the switchblade that he lost from his dad and then he goes inside his dad's like his dad's an asshole you know like an abusive asshole

and his dad's asleep on the couch and there's like some children show on tv playing but then the host and the children show start speaking like um to henry you'll float to henry like kill him kill him you'll float to henry kill him and then like all the kids start like chanting kill him kill him and he's like the kids start like chanting kill him kill him and he's like his dad's like sleeping in front of the TV and he puts the switchblade

like against his neck it's one of the ones where you press the button and then the blade like whips out oh my god and then he presses it and he kills his dad

oh my god he kills his dad and then on the TV it's like kill them all kill them all kill them all kill them all Emily has a

sorry my mouth is wide it's pretty crazy there's a lot of blood he pulls a knife out and the blood squirts all over his face and he stays like that for the rest of the film yeah i mean well did we mention that henry's like lost it before we get to beverly's house did we mention that the the chubby kid the new kid wrote her a love letter no we didn't mention he's in love with her and he wrote her a love poem that she got anonymously she thinks it's from bill there's a love triangle classic so yeah takes us to beverly's house uh so crazy she doesn't want to fuck richie the sex god yeah crazy crazy he sounds pretty sexy to me i think so. Sounds... Too far. Pennywise is sexy, but this is too far.

No, one's a kid. Yeah, I get it. Ours is wrong. There's only room for one sexy person in this movie, and it's Pennywise. Fair enough. So they're at Beverly's house, and I think she fights back with her dad. Her dad's being creepy as hell. Her dad is like, why is there a love letter hidden in your underwear drawer?

Oh, okay, okay. Oh, my. Why are you in my underwear drawer, creepy dad? And he says, I've been hearing rumors. Are you doing womanly things with all those boys you're doing hanging out in the woods? Are you still my little girl, Bevy? Oh, no. Oh, my God.

And she says, no, no, I'm not. And like kicks him and runs into the bathroom. Oh, my God. And she says, no, no, I'm not. And like kicks him and runs into the bathroom. Oh, God. And he chases her. And when he comes into the bathroom, the shower curtain is closed. So she's like hiding in the shower. Oh, no. And he pulls the curtain back and she has the like toilet bowl lid and smacks him.

Wow. Like, smashes the toilet lid over his head. And he's out. And there's a lot of blood there, too. Oh, God. I kind of think she kills him, too, right? It's kind of crazy because it seems like there's two dad murdering scenes right after each other. Oh, my God.

But, like, they both kind of deserved it. Yeah, bad dads. A lot of bad dads, I told you. Bad dads. not good dads oh god well good for her for doing that Blamo Pennywise appears grabs her by the neck

that was the biggest jump scare for me where she like turns to leave and he's there yeah very scary and then there's the reveal that oh I guess it has all the like parent scenes back to back so then it cuts to eddie the hypochondriac who like this whole time has been like my pills my pills i need to take all my pills and it like is it munchausen by proxy and so it goes i knew

i couldn't say that because i didn't know how to pronounce the word but i was like i know henley's gonna know it and so i thought that when the mom asked him for it because like if your kid's a hypochondriac you're not gonna facilitate that unless right so it becomes clear that someone shouts in my proxy situation and he runs out I think but so that happens Beverly uh wakes up and basically um it lands Pennywisewise's little watery underground nest in the basement of the sewers. And it's this creepy place where it's full of children's belongings.

Bicycles, toys, skateboards, and they're stacked up on this sort of physics-defying, like, long twisty needle reaching up to the sky and there are children, corpses of children floating in the air. Dozens of them circling around this needle of children's

toys, all just dead floating. This is where the you'll float to is from. So you realize that's what they've been saying to them all the time. And then we get to see Pennywise the dancing clown. Pennywise the dancing clown. Does he do a dance? He does a dance and it's, I mean,

would you believe it? It's perfect. It's like a jig. It's i mean would you believe it it's perfect it's like it's like it's like a jig it's like it's so good um so bev's down there and pennywise does his dance for her and then like grabs her by the throat or something and opens his mouth and has like a thousand teeth it's because we've seen all his mouth before but this is like this is more than usual parts and there's probably like 50 like a rattlesnake unhinging the jaw but also mixed with a great white having like all these rosenthal and there's like a light in the bottom of his throat and she gets like hypnotized hypnotized and her eyes like turn milky and she floats up into the thing peverly um and meanwhile the rest of the losers club are like coming to try to

save her. And they're rappelling down the well. And then the bully appears. And then the bully appears. With his face still covered in his dad's blood. I think he cuts the rope, right? He cuts the rope so they can't get out. What? Oh my god. Mike. Yeah, Mike is keeping guard.

And Mike has that little cattle gun thing. Oh, the cattle gun coming back. But he's not in this moment able to use it, right? No, he doesn't. But he pushes Henry down the well. He shoves him down and he hits the sides. He kills him. He's dead.

Oh, my God. He must be. Wow. Okay. And then they're sort of like down the well on their way to Pennywise's little hangout. And the creepy painting lady appears. And she attacks, what's his name, Stanley? She attacks Stanley.

And this is a really weird moment because her mouth sort of opens up, but it's not like Pennywise's for its teeth. It's almost like her mouth like prolapsed. It came out on this disgusting like pink meaty thing covered in teeth that then mushed against his face and kind of pierced his face skin. It's really weird. Yeah, they come down to see this happening. So the rest of them arrive to see Stanley's face being eaten.

But they got there in time and he's not dead. Wait. So he pulls away. Just to clarify, Stanley's biggest fear is this painting that's in the synagogue. Yeah, which is like a little weird. I think just as a little kid he saw it, it really freaked him out and it just like stuck with him forever. I get that. You know how that happens?

I get that. What they're telling us is that he's had a very blessed life. Yeah, I was going to say these other kids have really gone through some serious hard course. They're facing like trauma. Stanley burned to death. And sometimes you see a painting and it scares you. That's literally what it feels like. I just wanted to point

that out. Yeah, no, it is. It is a minor fear to have compared to all the rest of them. Okay, so then... But so does his face get like bloody and messed up? It has like puncture wounds on the side because it didn't bite him. It just kind of like pushed its toothy fleshness against him. Okay.

We've all been there. Toothy fleshness. Toothy fleshness. Pushed its toothy fleshness. So then they get Bev. They like, I don't know, grab her by the ankle because she's floating above them. So Pennywise never ate her for real. He just hypnotized her. No. He hypnotized her

and sent her up with the rest of the floating bodies and Ben kisses her. No, he hypnotized her and sent her up with the rest of the floating bodies and Ben kisses her. Wow. He's like a Prince Charming type thing. It was really stupid. It's really stupid. I did not like that. And you're like, well that was dumb and then it fucking works.

Yeah, she wakes up and then she says the line of the poem of the post the like love letter that he wrote because she previously thought it was Bill and then after he kissed her she's like oh it was you you wrote it and he's like yeah I wrote it

which is sweet but they like let's sneak in a little romance plotline um okay so then I like this part it's Georgie crying this part's really good walks up to Bill and is like And I like this part. It's Georgie crying. This part's really good. Walks up to Bill and is like, why did it take you so long to find me, Bill?

Play with me. And so he knows that it's not really Georgie. No, he doesn't at first. So Georgie says something. No, that's heartbreaking. That like gives it away. So in the beginning, when they are floating the boat, Bill says all boats are referred to as she. So it's like, take care of her.

And Georgie says something in the scene that's like, my boat, he got lost. And that's when Bill is like, she Georgie. Like, we call it she. Oh, I did not pick up on that. And he realizes that it's not Georgie. I like stuff like that and that it's Pennywise and he fucking sheep guns him in the head his own little brother

and he's like he's like I love you so much and I miss you so much but this isn't you and he shoots him it's a really great scene I got a little bit of chills oh my god I love you so much I I miss you so much. And this isn't you.

I know this isn't you. Oh, I just got chills repeating it. I'm so happy. It's a really good one. Little dead baby Georgie falls over. And this now returns to form where his arm is ripped off. And this part is so fucking cool. So he's lying there with this arm ripped off.

And then he starts going. He starts shaking and twitching. And then out of his like ripped off arm a little baby hand sort of grows out and then it grows really long and it's pennywise his arm and he's like shaking and twitching and then it's like each limb sort of pops well he turns he does turn into each of their fears one but like kind of quickly he kind of goes through the crazy lady face beverly's dad beverly's dad the leper he kind of does each thing and they're not running away they're they're facing their fears and they grab like baseball bats yeah you know stuff and

they're like we're not afraid of you we're not afraid of you like you can't have you can't feast on our fear yeah and so he's like shrinking away and his last he says he says like fear and then he completely disintegrates basically. Whoa. Wait so that's the climax? And then all the children corpses slowly float down. Wow.

But I think they are still dead right? They're dead. They're all still dead. It's like they're actual corpses. Yeah. Okay. So then

the last scene is them kind of in the field by the ravine I don't know discussing what just happened. Is this the next day or something? No, it's right after. It's because she's still covered in blood.

And they say, like, what do you remember from when you were out? And Bev's like, all I remember is I had a vision of us. We're all older. Like, 27 years from now older. She didn't say that. But she's like, I don't know what we were doing, but we were all in the cistern and we were facing something. Right. So Pennywise is not dead.

He's in a like hibernating stage. He comes every 27 years. You can't. They can't kill him by shooting him, right? Because that didn't. Well, Billy says he's like, if he ever comes back, let's swear right now that we'll kill him. And they do a nice little blood oath. They all cut their hands open and hold hands in a circle.

Wow. Okay. That's the end. How will they kill him, though? I guess we might find out. Hopefully we'll find out. Yes. So spoiler alert for ourselves and our listeners is that next episode will be at Chapter 2,

which I'm very excited about. I had originally thought in approaching this episode tonight that perhaps I would go with you, Sammy, to see Yes! It Chapter 2. And now I will say absolutely not. I don't think I can handle it. No, Emily, you can't handle this. I do not believe that I can. No, you're correct. I can't do it.

I definitely can't do it. But it does look amazing and the cast is really good. I think it's going to be really good. I'll be excited to hear do it. I can't. Definitely can't do it. But it does look amazing. And the cast is really good. I think it's going to be really good. I'll be excited to hear about it. I'm really curious to know how they're going to kill it. I hope they kill it. We should say. I don't know if that's even going to happen.

The scene that's in the book. Okay. Yes. So there's a very controversial scene in the book. I would know basically as the child orgy scene. Oh, I remember reading about this. I am not. Okay. So what happens is they go. This is supposed to be the child orgy scene. Oh, I remember reading about this. I have not. Okay.

So what happens is they go down into the sewers, and what they realize is that only together can they be brave enough to stop Pennywise. Oh, I forgot about this. And it's their connectedness. But at this point, they're so disconnected that they don't have that cohesion between them. And so Beverly is like, I know. I'll just have sex with each and every one of you oh my god i forgot to bring us together a real thing that stephen king wrote in a book

supposedly last when stephen king straight up coked out when he wrote this yeah he was like i mean he was so coked out because he had a strong coke phase no he was like he said he would like be writing with like toilet paper shoved up both nostrils because they're bleeding so badly. Does he regret writing that? So, he writes 10 pages

describing it. 10 pages? Wow. He describes saying that Beverly doesn't know if she can take Stranger Things' penis because it's so big

is one of her concerns. Stranger Things' Oh my God. It also says that there's a line because it's so big as one of her concerns. Stranger Things is... Oh my God. It also says that there's a line where it's like, she received no physical pleasure from any of these acts. It was more of a mental ecstasy. What? And so...

She fucked five teens in a row? Yes. Yeah. Mental ecstasy doesn't exist. Sorry, y'all. That was... That's not a real thing. Oh, my God.

For our listeners who might be curious, the physical part's important. Really important. Yeah. Wow. So Stephen King released a statement a couple of years ago through his fan site, StephenKing.com, where he wrote, I wasn't really thinking of the sexual aspect of it. Intuitively, the losers know they had to be together again. The sexual act connected childhood and adulthood

okay that is not an apology Stephen King no that's not I regret this scene nope oh poor Beverly guys you don't get it the sex mattered I had to do it like she didn't have to fuck all of them

yeah why did they have to be connected to her some of them could have fucked each other. Yeah, exactly. Or they could have just been like, yeah, they're best friends for life. They could just like, put our differences aside, let's reconnect. Just pair up in groups of two and fuck. Just pair up and fuck. So, Sammy, I have a question.

What do you hope to see in the sequel? Ooh, good question. I love it when the guests pose questions. Well, you know, I read today that Pennywise only actually has four minutes of dialogue in this one, in the first one. And so I'm hoping for more Pennywise. I think it's triple that. Triple! Give me 12 minutes, baby!

I'm hoping for a lot of Pennywise. I think it's a Pennywise origin story. Hell yeah, that's what I want. That's exactly what I want. Oh, that's fascinating. I would love to know. I think in the trailer I saw it's like the history of the circus and stuff. Well, it has his like, ooh, fuck yeah.

It has his like creepy, there are shots in the trailer where he has a more human face. Oh yeah, we see like his like grandma or something, right? Ooh, do we think he got like possessed by a demon or something to make him this way? Something like that. Like he was once a person? Fascinating. I can't wait to find out. I get to find out without having to watch it.

Thank God. I'm so excited. There's no way I'm watching it. I guess this is a major trope, but since we're doing a flash forward of kids all grown up, I would like Ben the Chubby Kid to be the hottest adult. Hell yeah. Yes, I love that! That's what I'm saying. In the trailer. I don't know

the actor, but he's hot. Don't worry. Get you some, Ben! Amen. Henley, what is going to haunt you the most from this film? I'm pretty sure it's the same thing that's been haunting me for 20 plus years, which is the image

of Georgie getting his arm broken. Oh, because you read it. Yeah. Slash eaten off by Pennywise. Sweet little Georgie. Just because he's so cute and trusting. And I think it's that that's so upsetting. It's the fact that he's so deeply innocent and not suspecting at all.

Oh, I can't believe the movie actually went there though. I'm pretty surprised. Oh yeah, straight out the gate. Yeah. I mean, I guess. What's going to haunt you, Emily? Yeah, I really, even reading the movie starts with an extreme violence against a child.

I did not see that coming. And as previously Discussed in the podcast I You have a limb problem I don't like limbs Being removed Something about that in particular I have a big fear of sharks

And a lot of things something that often happens With the shark attack is a limb A limb gets removed and I Gator attacks too yeah it's deeply Unsettling to me So the fact that I think I would have Done better if like his head had been Cut off or like he had just been like

Brutally murdered but like the fact that he Rips oh man I don't know I'm thinking about it that's the That's it that's really bad that's really bad for me That's when I decided I'll never See this movie mine's Bev's dad It's not even a Really bad not even a Pennywise related thing. It's just Bev's fucking rapist molester dad.

That's fucking scary. Saying, you're still my little girl, right? Ew. That's so sick. Ew. It's the scariest thing of all. It's real life humans. Well, and real.

Yeah. Real life horror. William, do you have a scariest part? Honestly, I thought like when the bullies were carving his name into that kid's stomach, it was just so messed up. Yeah. But I thought the scariest like jump part was probably the giant it in the garage. Oh, yeah.

That part was scary. He's on his hands and he's crawling towards him. So he was kind of like this giant scary baby. Oh, my God. Wow. Well, William, closing thoughts about this film. It could be a thought. It could be a quote.

It could be a Pennywise impression. It could be a Pennywise voice. It could be whatever you want. I'm just passing the buck, baby. That's hard because Pennywise only spoke for four minutes, but he's so funny. I think the sequel is going to be a lot of fun. I hope that there are some viewers out there who were too afraid to see the first one, but will now watch the second one after hearing beat by beat what happened on this podcast

in the first one. Thought it might be me. It will not be. Why not? Why not? What changed your mind? Because you were going to earlier. The limb removal.

The limb removal, baby. I mean, Pennywise shaking the limb. That sounds funny. I'm going to show you that clip it's my favorite part probably favorite part of the movie we'll put it up on the the socials yeah
