It’s been five years since It hit theaters and conquered the box office, becoming the highest grossing horror film of all time and tipping off a new Stephen King renaissance across Hollywood. Today? The scene is dire: Blumhouse’s Firestarter failed to ignite, while ‘Salem’s Lot has completely been vanquished from Warner Bros’ schedule.
So, what the hell happened? Good question. The Losers dial back the clock to that eventful September in 2017 and chart the highs and lows over the last half decade. Together, they sort through all the features and television series that make up the entire run, debating their impact and cultural cache before giving the thumbs up or thumbs down.
Stream the episode below and return next week when the Losers talk to King historian Bev Vincent on his new ultimate companion for Constant Readers.
