🎈🤡 It (2017)

In this episode, we float down to Derry to review this adaptation of one of Stephen King’s most popular novels! We discuss Pennywise, the Losers’ Club, and what scared us as kids. 😅

Thanks for the review. I’ve been burned out by basic biopics recently so it’s good to hear that they put some effort into this one.

My #LastFourWatched were mostly rewatches of films I remembered seeing once, but never scored. The highlight was Arachnophobia! I also watched Sting (2024), another spider themed horror film. Decent double header! #HappyLetterboxdFriday

This screenshot shows my recent Letterboxd activity, featuring four films I watched and rated recently. It’s laid out with each movie poster, title, and my personal star rating underneath.

From left to right:
1. I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025). I gave this one 2 stars. I like the cast but it doesn’t make up for the uneven tone and nonsensical ending.
2. Bright (2017). I rated it 2½ stars. The concept of a fantasy cop drama intrigued me, but the execution was clunky. Still, I appreciated the world-building.
3. R.I.P.D. (2013). Another 2½-star film. It’s a ghost-cop action comedy that has a solid cast but ultimately feels like it’s trying too hard to be Men in Black.
4. Arachnophobia (1990). I gave this one 3½ stars, easily my favorite of the bunch. It’s a fun mix of horror and humor. I love that they used so many real spiders! It’s creepy enough to make your skin crawl but still lighthearted.

I like hearing people say that Black Phone 2 isn’t very scary, because that means I will probably feel brave enough to watch it in the future at home. 😅

On a scale of 1-5, how scary is Black Phone and Black Phone 2? This latest one was certainly gross, we'll say that much!

Gretel & Hansel (2020)
Movie Review by @onehorrorplease

Pictured is a teenage girl in period clothing exploring the dark hallway of a candlelit house.

Plot:
A pair of siblings desperately looking for food and work stumble upon an ominous house in the woods.

Review:
Although this feminist horror reimagining of the classic fairytale has marvelous visuals, the story is entirely confused and unsatisfying.

Rating: 2.5/5

Very disappointed! I felt it had potential but it just didn’t work.

That’s a fun distribution! Full disclosure, I’m listening to the episode despite still never having watched or read it. 😅

🎬 Movie Postmortem: IT (2017) 🎈🤡

🎉 Celebration: creepy nightmare visuals, Skarsgard as Pennywise, child actor performances
💀 Death: doesn’t feel like the ‘80s, not scary enough, weak ending
🧵 Stitch-Up: cut the Bev damsel in distress moment and kiss, remove part 2

I had no idea what “hear me out” meant, so I had to look it up. I’ve been thoroughly enjoying videos about this! 😄

Also, the blood spatter badassery discussion about these final girls made me think it should be two separate scores!

Great discussion! I really liked these characters even though I felt the film wasn’t entirely successful in what it was trying to do. As you said, it can feel like a cringy “debate me about religion” internet discussion at times.

In a way, it feels like an article or essay turned into a movie.

I feel James Wan should be on the list.

In our episode on A Nightmare on Elm Street, I discuss being a fan of Freddy even though I was too young to watch the film! 😅

Here is the Freddy vs Jason pic I mentioned. This was probably 1985 or 1986. Such a fun time. 🥹

#Halloween #FreddyKrueger #Jason #HorrorSky #FilmSky #ANightmareOnElmStreet

This photo is one of my favorite Halloween memories from the 1980s. It is me and my younger sister staging our own Freddy vs. Jason showdown on the front porch.

My sister is dressed as Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th, wearing a flannel shirt, baggy jeans, and the classic white hockey mask. She’s mid-action, reaching out to grab me like she’s about to drag me into Crystal Lake herself.

As for me… well, I clearly couldn’t decide on just one costume. I’m wearing a Dracula mask, a Freddy Krueger glove, a Joe Cool jacket, and a random hat for good measure! Basically a mashup of every cool Halloween idea I had at once.

The caption says:

“Freddy vs Jason! My sis as Jason. What am I dressed as? A vampire wearing a ‘Joe Cool’ jacket, a hat, and a Freddy Krueger glove!”

It’s pure 1980s Halloween fun! Mostly homemade costumes, cobwebs strung across the porch, and that kid energy that makes it so fun!

Post a remake you love …

Both of these low budget, found footage horror films were solid additions to the horror genre.

We did an episode on Grave Encounters back in May.

This is a film that I think fell short of its potential to rival the visual intensity and style of Dracula (1992). I still enjoyed it, but it just doesn’t have as many memorable moments for me.

I thought about seeing this the other day then decided I wasn’t in the mood for something so serious. It’s on my list for a viewing in the future.

Those films are interesting to me (as a scientist) because they helped shape the perception of what a scientist is like for a lot of older people.

It’s one of the reasons I love your project. Discussing how even casual pop culture depictions of scientists influences people is so interesting!

I never saw the first one, but the trailer for Black Phone 2 reminded me of A Nightmare On Elm Street. Made me even less interested in seeing it.

I would go for the creative combo for both of these! I actually haven’t watched Gremlins 2 in decades, so it would be fun to revisit.

I don’t even feel I need to have a reason to watch Coming to America again! 😄
