Jason Fuchs is the writer, co-creator, executive producer, and co-showrunner of HBO Max's IT: WELCOME TO DERRY. The series serves as a prequel to the successful IT films and explores the origins of the infamous killer clown Pennywise. Set in 1962, it follows a family that arrives in Derry, Maine, just as children begin to disappear. Jason made his feature writing debut with the box office hit ICE AGE: CONTINENTAL DRIFT, which at the time of its release was the highest-grossing animated film internationally and made Jason the youngest screenwriter to have a film gross over $250M. He then went on to co-write Warner Brothers' acclaimed 2017 film WONDER WOMAN starring Gal Gadot. He also wrote New Line's IT: CHAPTER 2. In this interview, we talk about his adaptation work and how he approaches each project, his involvement with the IT universe, collaborating with Stephen King, long-form storytelling in TV, balancing fan expectation and originality, and much more.

A weekly podcast discussing each episode of the HBO Max television series IT: WELCOME TO DERRY.

HUGE REVEALS THIS WEEK!! IT: Welcome to Derry Full Episode Reaction Watch Along: ⁠  / thereelrejects  ⁠ Roxy Striar, Tara Erickson, & Andrew Gordon dive into Episode 6 of IT: Welcome to Derry, the supernatural horror prequel set in 1962 Derry, Maine and developed by Andy Muschietti, Barbara Muschietti, and Jason Fuchs. After Episode 5's long-awaited Pennywise reveal, the back half of the season shifts into higher gear — escalating the town's paranoia, government interference, and the kids' desperate fight to understand what's living beneath Derry. Episode 6, “In the Name of the Father,” is officially confirmed as the next installment and continues the fallout from the Neibolt Street events. Public previews indicate a heavier focus on Dick Hallorann as he's forced to rely on his psychic “Shine” in the face of mounting evil, while the approaching tragedy of The Black Spot looms larger over Derry's future. Episode 6 leans into deeper IT-mythology — including hints toward Pennywise's unsettling human identity “Bob Gray” and new visions that blur the line between memory, fear, and manipulation. Key cast members driving the episode include: Bill Skarsgård (Barbarian, Hemlock Grove) as Pennywise / It, now emerging more openly as the town spirals; Jovan Adepo (Babylon, Creed II) as Leroy Hanlon; Taylour Paige (Zola, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom) as Charlotte Hanlon; Chris Chalk (Perry Mason, Gotham) as Dick Hallorann, whose connection to the Shine ties directly into Derry's evil, & More. With Pennywise's influence spreading, Derry's institutions fracturing, & the kids pushing closer to the truth at huge personal cost, Episode 6 promises more lore, bigger scares, and a nasty ramp-up toward the season's final catastrophe.

Un nuevo episodio de la serie IT: Welcome to Derry, nos acerca más al temible payaso Pennywise y su reino de terror en el pueblo de Derry.

The boys are back in town and back together. Na een epische trip naar Zuid-Korea en daarna een klein uitstapje naar Japan zijn Koos en Huey eindelijk weer herenigd met Jelle. In deze afleveringen bespreken de boys hun trip in het buitenland en alle films die ze die weken, in het vliegtuig, hebben gekeken.Stranger ThingsHet laatste seizoen van Stranger Things is eindelijk begonnen en Koos kon natuurlijk niet wachten om erin te duiken. In deze aflevering bespreken Koos, Huey en Jelle samen de eerste aflevering van het slotseizoen, met alle verwachtingen, verrassingen en theorieën die direct losbarsten na de opening van dit langverwachte finale hoofdstuk. Hoe voelt de sfeer? Werkt de toon? En zet dit een waardige afsluiter neer voor een van de grootste series van de afgelopen tien jaar? De mannen nemen je mee door hun eerste indrukken, sterke momenten en mogelijke hints naar wat komen gaat.IT: Welcome to DerryDaarnaast duiken we in IT: Welcome to Derry, de nieuwe HBO-horrorserie die dient als prequel op de moderne IT-films. De serie verkent de duistere geschiedenis van Derry in de jaren '60, waar een nieuw gezin merkt dat het kwaad al lang vóór Pennywise zijn greep had op de stad. In deze aflevering bespreken we hoe de toon, worldbuilding en scares uitpakken, en of dit een waardige uitbreiding is van het IT-universum.The Last SamuraiWe duiken ook in The Last Samurai (2003), Tom Cruise' epische historische film waarin hij kapitein Nathan Algren speelt: een Amerikaanse veteraan die worstelt met trauma, schuld en desillusie. Wanneer hij naar Japan wordt gestuurd om moderne troepen te trainen tegen de samurai, wordt hij gevangen genomen en geconfronteerd met een wereld die haaks staat op alles wat hij kent. In het dorp van de samurai leert Algren hun filosofie, discipline en eergevoel kennen, en ontstaat er een innerlijk conflict: steunt hij het opkomende Westerse militarisme of sluit hij zich aan bij een cultuur die juist wordt weggevaagd? We bespreken de film, de historische (on)nauwkeurigheid, waarom hij zo'n blijvende impact heeft én hoe de performances van Cruise en Ken Watanabe de film naar een hoger niveau tillen.

Welcome to Derry Episode 5 finally gives us what everyone's been begging for: Pennywise. In the sewer. In full nightmare mode. In this Thumb War recap, we break down everything from the genuinely awesome parts — Bill Skarsgård's terrifying Pennywise reveal, the triple-decker teeth, the contortions, the hallucinatory sewer sequences — to the parts that made us feel like we were taking crazy pills. Including: • The indigenous prophecy lore dump that explains why everyone in Derry acts insane • “There's something in the water — clown shit” (not our words, the episode's) • The soldiers making the absolute worst tactical decisions in TV history • A major character death that makes ZERO spatial sense • Whether Matty's emo sewer glow-up actually worked • Our ongoing fight with the YouTube algorithm thanks to… certain phrases • Why the acting and production design continue to be the saving grace of this series This is a spoiler-filled, chaotic, honest recap of Episode 5 — the good, the bad, and the “why is everyone in this show so dumb?” Full transcript moments include Pennywise illusions, failed plans, secret shards, hallucinations, and multiple “are you serious?” plot beats.

In this episode of Derry, the convergence of military and children's storylines reaches a pivotal moment at Neibolt Street. The episode explores character dynamics, unexpected twists, and the significance of supernatural elements, particularly Pennywise's transformation and the introduction of a glowing dagger shard. As the kids embark on a mission to save their friend Phil, the tension escalates, leading to a climactic confrontation in the sewers. The performances, especially from Marge, stand out, and the episode leaves viewers questioning the implications of the magical rock introduced in the narrative. In this engaging conversation, the hosts delve into the intricacies of storytelling, character development, and audience engagement in contemporary media. They explore the power of narration, the depth of character performances, and the comparative analysis of various shows, particularly focusing on their reactions to plot developments and critical reception. The discussion highlights the evolving expectations of audiences and the challenges faced by creators in delivering compelling narratives. Catch Jon Saks and Frank Bonacci here!SadisticDraft ClassChannel F  LINKS FOR MY DEBUT NOVEL, THE FORGOTTEN BOROUGHwww.hauntedamericanhistory.comBarnes and Noble -   https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-forgotten-borough-christopher-feinstein/1148274794?ean=9798319693334AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FQPQD68SEbookGOOGLE: https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=S5WCEQAAQBAJ&pli=1KOBO: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-forgotten-borough-2?sId=a10cf8af-5fbd-475e-97c4-76966ec87994&ssId=DX3jihH_5_2bUeP1xoje_SMASHWORD: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1853316 !!

This week on All Pop, No Culture, we dig into a wide spread of movies, musicals, podcasts, and horror TV—basically everything lighting up your feed (or should be). Kevin kicks things off with a review of One Battle After Another, a character-driven drama with sharp performances and a slow-burn emotional core. Andrew throws in director deep cuts, trivia, and a few wild personal stories to round out the discussion. We shift gears into true-crime meets Hollywood with a breakdown of Allison Mack's vulnerable, complicated interview on Michael Rosenbaum's podcast. The group looks at her time in the Nxivm cult, her prison experience, the contradictions in her public story, and the surprising relationship she formed after her release. Lauren brings the energy back up with her trip to see the Broadway musical Two Strangers Carry a Cake Across New York—a quirky, heartfelt rom-com on stage that sparks a full-scale debate on why musical adaptations either soar (Wicked, Hamilton) or crash spectacularly (Cats, West Side Story). Kevin then reviews the indie horror film Shelby Oaks, breaking down what works (atmosphere) and what really doesn't (genre chaos, FX overload). The crew compares it to classics like Blair Witch and Paranormal Activity while debating whether it's worth a rental or a “wait until streaming” kind of watch. We wrap with a deep dive into HBO's IT: Welcome to Derry, exploring its historical layers, lore, Pennywise reveals, character arcs, and how it all ties back to Stephen King's universe. With Stranger Things Season 5 on the horizon, the hype is already building for next week's episode. If you're into film analysis, musical theater takes, true-crime commentary, horror reviews, and unfiltered pop-culture conversations—you're in the right place.

After watching the series (so far), I'd like to say that I'm thoroughly enjoying it, and I am highly impressed with the acting. This fully embraces the fantastical scenes and effects for those horror and monster moments. However, one character really stands out, and that is Lilly Bainbridge – portrayed by the talented Clara Stack and her performance has been nothing short of paramount. If I said it was an honor and pleasure speaking with Clara, that would be an understatement. To sit down and get to know Clara and what it was like to play an exceptionally well-rounded character, these are the moments that are priceless.Getting to know Clara's character, Lilly, who we all see rides an emotional roller coaster throughout the season, tells us that there is more than what we expected. I am certain, if there is going to be a Season 2, that Lilly will be one of the few that gets to kick Pennywise's butt. However, with this being the prequel to the “It” movies, who knows what will happen during the inception. It: Welcome to Derry is still streaming on HBO Max (I realize that I said Netflix during the interview) and I am wrong, clearly, I got the streaming services mixed up. I highly recommend watching the series. It 100% grabs the essence of the era of the beginning.

Pennywise has officially graced our screens this week, and we discuss him, along with some listener feedback, Ingrid Kersh and Hank Grogan's entanglement, General Shaw 's Big Beautiful plan to entrap It in the sewers, a mysterious return along with a welcome addition to the kid group, Dick Hallorann's box problems, and everything else from this top tier episode of Welcome To Derry.A transcript of this episode can be found on Lindsey's website: https://www.1ofmystories.comIT: Welcome To Derry airs on HBOMax Sunday nights, and we will be dropping episodes of recaps, reviews, and discussions each following Thursday (or sooner!)Check out our main website for all info, videos, and episodes:https://www.sweetchildoftime.comPlease support the show athttps://patreon.com/mlmpod.comLindsey's writings, reviews, podcasts and music:https://www.1ofmystories.comJoin us at our Marsh Land Media Discord channel:https://discord.gg/aRdKmv9YbcOur podcast is brought to you by Zencastr!

Kevin Schaeffer and Andy Walsh dive into the latest happenings in pop culture with their signature blend of geekiness and faith in this "What's News" episode. They kick things off by exploring some exciting new shows and films, including Vince Gilligan's latest sci-fi venture, which offers a unique take on humanity's struggles in a post-apocalyptic landscape. The duo also chats about the fresh adaptation of Frankenstein by Guillermo Del Toro, a film that adds emotional depth to the classic tale, proving once again that Del Toro knows how to humanize even the most monstrous figures. They also touch on the upcoming series set in Stephen King's universe, “Welcome to Derry,” which promises to be a chilling exploration of fear and childhood trauma. With witty banter and insightful commentary, Kevin and Andy keep listeners engaged and informed about the best in geek culture while reflecting on how these narratives intersect with their shared faith.Kevin and Andy dive deep into the latest and greatest in geek culture, serving up a buffet of fresh news from the realms of movies and TV. With the latest buzz surrounding a new series from Vince Gilligan, the creative mind behind classics like Breaking Bad, they explore the intricacies of a dystopian world where a hive mind controls the remnants of humanity, leaving one cynical woman to navigate a sea of happiness that feels anything but real. They dissect the science—sometimes a little too far-fetched for Andy's taste—and the philosophical undertones about independence and societal connection, making it clear that this isn't just another sci-fi series but a thought-provoking journey that questions what it truly means to be human. And let's not forget the light-hearted banter and witty digs that make their discussions so enjoyable! It's an episode packed to the brim with insightful critique and playful exchanges, ensuring listeners are not only informed but entertained. Next on the docket, the guys tackle the new Frankenstein adaptation from Guillermo del Toro, a project that's been in the works for ages and certainly lives up to expectations. With del Toro's signature flair for the macabre and the beautifully tragic, Kevin and Andy discuss how this adaptation reinterprets the classic tale, emphasizing themes of parenthood and the profound connections we forge, even in the darkest of circumstances. They navigate through the performances, with Oscar Isaac and Jacob Elordi shining in their roles, and discuss how del Toro breathes new life into a story that's been told many times before, crafting a narrative that resonates deeply with contemporary audiences. Their enthusiasm for the film is palpable, making it clear that this isn't just a retelling but a heartfelt exploration of what it means to create and nurture life. Finally, the duo wraps up with a look at the latest adaptation of The Running Man, directed by the ever-stylish Edgar Wright. Kevin shares his thoughts on the film, highlighting how it strays from its action-heavy origins to deliver a more faithful interpretation of Stephen King's novel. He dishes on the character of Ben Richards, played by Glenn Powell, and how the film's societal critiques are just as relevant today as they were when the book was penned. Despite mixed reviews, Kevin finds the film to be an exhilarating ride, filled with action, humor, and just enough heart to keep the audience engaged. With Edgar Wright's signature visual style and clever dialogue, the film promises to be a thrilling experience, even if it doesn't quite reach the highs of Wright's earlier works. This episode is a delightful mix of pop culture exploration, genuine enthusiasm, and the kind of insightful commentary that keeps listeners coming back for more.Takeaways: In this episode, Kevin and Andy dive deep into the latest buzz in geek culture, covering new shows and films like 'Flibus' and 'Frankenstein', while blending humor and...

Man sollte meinen, die aktuelle Weltlage sei Horrortrip genug, warum sollten sich Leute einen gemütlichen Abend bei Stapelchips und Teufelsaustreibung machen, wenn parallel irgendwo eine Romcom mit Meg Ryan läuft? Aber es gibt sie ja, diese Menschen, die eine Jungfrauenhäutung jeder anderen Freizeitgestaltung vorziehen, oder 6 Euro investieren, um sich auf der Cranger Kirmes von einem kopflosen angestaubten Piraten erschrecken zu lassen. Was ist der Zauber dieses Grusels mit Ansage und kann man damit vielleicht noch mehr aus sich rausholen als Angstschweiß und Albträume? Die Antwort ist: Ja! Helge Branscheid ist einer von zwei Probanden, die beim „Peak Fear Experiment“ dabei sein durften. Er wurde unter 2000 Bewerber*innen ausgewählt, sich dem Abenteuer seines Lebens zu stellen. Wissenschaftler*innen der Uni Aarhus wollten herausbekommen, welche unterschiedlichen Angsttypen es gibt, und haben zu diesem Zweck den absoluten Horrortrip inszeniert. 90 Minuten maximaler Stress. Der tapfere Helge hat alles durchgestanden und ist mit einigen Erkenntnissen im Studio vorbeigekommen. Benjamin Moldenhauers Doktorarbeit trägt den Titel: „Ästhetik des Drastischen. Der Horrorfilm als Erfahrungsaggregat“. Warum sind Vampirgeschichten, dunkle Keller und abgeschlagene Gliedmaßen vor allen Dingen im Teenager-Alter der Filmgenuss der Wahl? Und inwiefern kann so eine deftige Schlachtung im Jugendzimmer aufs reale Leben vorbereiten? Antworten und ein paar ausgesuchte Filmempfehlungen bekommt ihr in dieser Folge.

After weeks of exploring what other forms the entity/the Galloo can conjure up in IT: Welcome to Derry, director Andy Muschietti's plan paid off, revealing Pennywise the Dancing Clown as a mid-season treat.Hosted by Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

Pennywise bassist Randy Bradbury never set out to start a new band. But one day, inspiration struck — hard — and a stream of songs began pouring out of him like they were meant to exist. What began as a personal creative outlet quickly evolved into 84 Days, a full-blown rock project fueled by instinct, collaboration, and pure musical chemistry. Joined by Grammy-winning producer Cameron Webb, the two shaped Randy's raw demos into a powerful, melodic, punk-driven record featuring contributions from Adrian Young of No Doubt, Warren Fitzgerald of The Vandals, and Erik “Smelly” Sandin of NOFX for the live lineup. In this episode of Caught on the Mike, Randy and Cameron break down the spark that started it all, the magic of the studio sessions, the themes behind their debut album, and what it means to create something for no other reason than the love of music itself. 84 Days' debut album is out now via Double Helix Records.www.84daysband.com

Some shows keep a tight lid on their mysteries. Not this one. Their thought process must be, "Let's flood them with so many answers, it'll only inspire far more questions." We see what The Shining looks like with Dick Hallorann. We have a better understanding of Pennywise's reach and limitations. And we may have even discovered some major easter eggs!

Thumb War is back and slightly annoyed for a new Welcome to Derry Episode 4 Review! We're forced to ask a serious question: Is this the worst episode yet? The Stephen King Universe lore is being dumped like it's an end-of-season yard sale, and frankly, we're tired of them explaining everything. On this episode of Thumb War, Jason, Rachel, and special guest Jeshua Kidd wade through the Derry, Maine mud to discuss the highly questionable writing and deeply confusing plot points. We break down the absolutely cringe-worthy dialogue, the heavy-handed Pennywise connections and whether the excessive Stephen King Easter Eggs are just fan service covering up a weak script. In this train wreck, we discuss: The truly unbelievable "How do you move a piano?" scene that made us question everything. Is the 'friendly one' from Juniper Hill trustworthy, or just another convenient plot device? Why the show is struggling to move beyond exposition and actually tell a story.

Reid Carter concludes the two-part John Wayne Gacy special timed with Peacock's "Devil in Disguise." After confessing to 33 murders, Gacy pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, claiming multiple personalities made him kill. The jury didn't buy it - guilty on all counts. February 1980: sentenced to death. Fourteen years on death row painting clowns, giving interviews, showing zero remorse. May 10, 1994: executed by lethal injection. Final words: "Kiss my ass." Gacy's legacy: He created the "killer clown" trope that defines American horror. Stephen King's Pennywise exists because of Pogo.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

A weekly podcast discussing each episode of the HBO Max television series IT: WELCOME TO DERRY.

Step right into the sewers with us as we dive deep into IT: Welcome to Derry Episodes 3 & 4!

In Derry, the past never stays buried. Set in 1962, "IT: Welcome to Derry" rewinds Stephen King's nightmare town to a moment of postcard innocence and slowly peels the veneer off to show the rot underneath. The new HBO series acts as a prequel to "IT" and "IT: Chapter Two", following the Hanlon family as they're pulled into another brutal cycle of disappearances, hauntings, and a certain grinning figure who feeds beneath the streets. Bill Skarsgård returns as Pennywise, joined by newcomers James Remar, Taylour Paige, Jovan Adepo, and Chris Chalk.Joining host Mike DeAngelo for the podcast are executive producers Andy Muschietti and Barbara Muschietti, along with co-showrunners Jason Fuchs and Brad Caleb Kane, who walk through how this new cycle came to life and why the Kingverse has far deeper corners than the films could ever reach.

We break down IT: Welcome to Derry episode 4, "The Great Swirling Apparatus of Our Planet's Function". We talk Pennywise's origin, the Galloo story, those creepy visions, and all the hidden clues you missed! Plus, our MVPs, LVPs, and top 5 best/worst moments. We cover the indigenous lore, racial tensions in Derry, and how fear feeds the monster. We chat about Shaw's plans, Hallorann's shine, and that wild eye horror scene with Marge.

Spoilers for Welcome to Derry Episode 3! Thumb War returns to Derry, Maine, where the sewers are wet, the ghost children look like Spirit Halloween interns, and the cemetery scene feels one jump scare away from a discount haunted house behind a Home Depot. After two strong episodes, Episode 3 might be our first real stumble of the season. We break down: Did the show blow its horror budget in Episodes 1 & 2? Are these ghost kid vibes spooky or just… sticky? Why does the community meeting scene feel like mid-season Canadian public access TV? Are we in Derry or at Canada's Wonderland Fright Night? Pennywise lore updates (even though he may be on PTO this week) We still love the show, but we also reserve the right to yell at it.

The proto Losers Club sees "IT", but is it as scary as it has been? Regardless, now they also "see" the proof they need to vindicate Lilly Bainbridge and Hank Grogan (for now). Dick Hallorann also stumbles into (peeling back) Pennywise's lair(/layers).

Welcome back to GEEKFLIX! Tonight we're diving deep into Episode 3 of IT: Welcome to Derry — the chilling HBO Max prequel expanding the terrifying world of Stephen King's IT. As the town's dark history tightens its grip, Episode 3 delivers major reveals, character turns, unsettling visions, and new Pennywise connections that push Derry further into the shadows. From disturbing discoveries beneath the surface to emotional trauma echoing through the town, this episode turns up the dread and ramps the story into full horror mode.

The terror continues in Episode 2 of HBO's IT: Welcome to Derry — titled "The Thing in the Dark." Following the shocking theatre massacre of Episode 1, Derry's secrets run deeper than ever as new horrors crawl out from beneath the surface. In this episode, the Geekz break down:

We're recapping Episodes 1 & 2 of Welcome To Derry, a show that proves Stephen King will never run out of nightmare fuel. In this episode, Jason and Rachel break down the pacifier trauma, the demon-baby joyride, the womb-from-hell sequence, the pickle-factory disaster, the theater bloodbath, and the government bros who genuinely think they can team-up with Pennywise like he's the sixth Avenger. Thankfully, Hazel drops in to provide the emotional support HBO clearly refuses to. If you love horror, chaos, or watching Derry do Derry things, this one's for you.

In new HBO prequel series IT: Welcome to Derry, we return to the clown who keeps on giving. Based on the Stephen King novel and a prequel to the films It (2017) and It Chapter Two (2019), the show finds a whole new crop of kids being terrorized by whatever lives underneath their little town in Maine. And at the nearby military base, some of the local adults are acting pretty sketchy, too. There is a lot going on and a lot of it is very bloody. Bill Skarsgård returns as Pennywise, but be patient since it takes a while to lay eyes on him.To access bonus episodes and sponsor-free listening for Pop Culture Happy Hour, subscribe to Pop Culture Happy Hour+ at plus.npr.org/happy.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
