In this episode, I review the classic ABC TV mini series and begin by placing it within the context of the more recent interpretation of the material and character of Pennywise with the It: Chapter One and Chapter Two movies along with It: Welcome To Derry. At the original time of this recording, the movies had not yet been made and Bill Skarsgard had not put his stamp on the character. Now that we are nearly a decade out from that original Chapter One release, it's important to contextualize the legacy of the original ABC adaption its relationship to its successor. Enjoy!

In this episode, I talk about how Osgood Perkins' The Monkey was my favorite moviegoing experience of 2025 and how it successfully managed to become the best Stephen King content of the year, in a year that included The Long Walk, The Life of Chuck, Never Flinch, It: Welcome To Derry and The Running Man.

At long last, your greatly demanded requests for me to review Stephen King's The Golden Years has been granted! What? What do you mean you don't know what I'm talking about? What do you mean you've never heard of The Golden Years?

You mean you've never seen the the 1990 seven episode CBS television show about an elderly janitor bombarded by energy after a scientific experiment goes awry which causes him to begin to age backward? You don't remember cat and mouse espionage story of government officials trying to outsmart Shop operatives as the walls close in around the janitor, whose powers are stranger than we were led to believe?

Well, don't worry. You're not alone. The Golden Years is not one of Stephen King's most recognized, fondly remembered--or remembered at all--work, but it is worth discussing for its place in television history. Coming off the heels of the success of Twin Peaks, TV stations were rabid for their own quirky, speculative, genre-story. Enter: Stephen King's The Golden Years.

Tune into my thoughts on the Golden Years, how it ties into King's larger multiverse and whether or not Harlan, our main character, ever shows up in a little town called Derry. What am I talking about??? You'll just have to tune in!
