Recovered
Welcome to Recovered, where Dan and Keith dig into all films remade, rebooted, and redone. They say there are no new stories under the sun, and Hollywood's been taking that as an excuse to tell the same stories over and over since the silent era, so we dig into which movies warranted a remake, which remakes improved on the original, and how very often neither of those things are true.

Episode 110: Stephen Kings ITs Chapter One (feat. Gina Stewart)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Dan and Keith head into the sewers of Derry, Maine to confront Stephen King's IT in all ITs current forms. Back in the 90s, IT became a very famous TV show, a two-part miniseries that tried to squeeze 1100+ pages of novel into three hours of movie with network TV standard to uphold, which meant some substantial cuts from the novel. Thankfully, guest Gina Stewart is here to walk Dan and Keith through all those cuts, and how much of it was weird sex stuff. We sort through what worked, which cast shone (and it isn't JUST Tim Curry), and what was never making it to television (including, yes, THAT scene). Join in for part one, before Pennywise is reborn for the big screen next episode!
