Starting point is 00:02:24 Let's go. Get it. All right. We have to talk about this. We definitely do. We had to talk about this. So we were predicting early on, are we going to see Pennywise in this episode? Are we going to be okay with the fact that we killed off the kids that we really liked in the first episode?

Starting point is 00:02:42 And now we're finally three episodes in. We seem to have our gang formed. We seem to know more about the direction that this show is going in this season. How is it working for you, Tara? I actually like it. I do still miss the kids from the very first episode. I mean, they got to come back here as ghosts, cool. But I think that the personalities for the kids are actually,

Starting point is 00:03:06 they're written really well and it keeps me engaged. I do like how many little eggs they're giving us of Pennywise and yet we still haven't seen him. I don't like it, but I'm also like I feel like they're doing it right. Like we just saw the eyes, it's darkness, like really keeping us on our toes of like when in the actual F. Are we actually going to see him for freaking real? And not just his eyes. I don't know. I don't know. I mean, we saw him in the picture. That's cool. But yeah, I'm having fun with it. I think it's entertaining and cool. How about you? We're not going to see Pennywise ever on the show other than pictures.

Starting point is 00:03:47 That's my prediction now. I'm really enjoying the show. Was that a joke or a reason? It's definitely a joke because he said that we were going to see him this episode and he was very wrong. Definitely, and I was also wrong about Francis, but also, yeah, good call, Tara. I do like the direction of this show so far, and I'm with Roxy as well as Tara and saying I was very unsure how I felt in regards to, like I really like these kids in the first episode, our Losers Club, if you will call it, that they established. I thought I liked the different personalities, and I liked all the actors that they gave us. and when they did that, I was like, wow, that is quite a twist. But also at the same point, I think it added a, it really ramped up the tension and the suspense and as well as the stakes. Like, nobody is safe.

Starting point is 00:04:39 Granted, we know what happens in It Chapter 2 where that's when Pennywise is finally defeated. So I think it really does put a stamp on what I just mentioned, that really no one is safe. So now that they've done a great job of establishing this new core group of these four, We already had Lily and Veronica, but now with Rich and Will, I think they all have such incredible chemistry. They're all so different in their personalities, and I think they just really mesh well together. I really love seeing, I know we've only got very limited amount of time together, but we've spent enough time with them where they've had their own scenes as well that I think together

Starting point is 00:05:13 they work for me really well. And it was a good, not going to call it substitution, but a good, like, they had an idea that, hey, we're going to get the audience really invested in this. first core group of kids we already know that we're going to kill them off and then we've got this second core this is going to be our main group of kids and this is going to work for us but i really like what they're doing though as well with some of the stuff that we're getting ready as well and i know this season has to be successful first in order to get to season two and get to season three but i like some of the season three establishing shit too i i don't know if francis is going to be a prevalent

Starting point is 00:05:46 character in season three we'll have to just wait and see but i thought that was a fascinating way to tie things in with why he's doing what he's doing on top in terms of just the military is always looking for a weapon anyways and something they can control for power and all that so it's a lot of different fascinating angles and some of my favorite dialogue even though it was really quick and simple was between francis and rose there's so much subtext and nuance and and line going on in the interaction between them too even though there's still a lot of love between the two of them so I found that really fascinating, but I got more to say. What did you think so far of this episode and the show itself?

Starting point is 00:06:24 I think that it's really cool that Andy Machete seems to very much have this entire timeline, at least from 1908 on mapped out. We have a brief reference in this about hundreds of years ago that this was buried. So I'm sure that the lore extends even earlier than 1908. but I feel like he really has done the work to lay the groundwork of what actually was down there it doesn't feel like a lost situation where they're going to get to the end

Starting point is 00:06:58 and feel like they have to give us answers for questions that they never fully fleshed out even though I love lost there you know there's a lot of stuff that never they've talked about they didn't know the ending before they got into it and I feel like he has said very clearly three seasons starting in 1962, working our way back every season by 27 years,

Starting point is 00:07:20 and the fact that we got that season three reveal in this one, at least we got the Francis moment, and then we have references to 35 as well. That was really, really cool. In regards to the kids, I think that they really, we put that on them, that they were our Losers Club in episode one, but they never were the Losers Club. so they didn't really kill off the losers club we just felt like that's where the direction it was going in and in episode two i was still grieving their loss so much but by episode three i have to say we really we always had Ronnie and lily so we didn't kill either of them off and they've been with us from the beginning yeah and these two new guys they've really stepped up in my book like i just think that their chemistry uh the two of them i love that scene where they're walking with their bikes and they're talking about who they have crushes on basically and they're talking about who they have crushes on basically and

Starting point is 00:08:12 I just, I really, really like their dynamic. And I also think we're going to bring in March because we've got a fat crush on Marge. And four is a little small of a number for us to keep moving forward with in the Losers Club. So I think that she will, she will merge with the group as well. Yeah, and he loves her Tatas. No, he loves her face, dude. Oh, yeah, he said Marge had the best face, but the better Tatas was blondie.

Starting point is 00:08:36 Well, exactly. Blondy. But, you know, to love somebody's Tatas is one thing. To love their face is a whole other face. Face card doesn't decline with March. No, it doesn't decline really ever in my book. That's a big deal. Do you guys remember the name of the girl who was friends with Lily and wanted her to be part of that popular friends group?

Starting point is 00:08:54 March. Is that March? Yes. Okay. That's what I thought that was March. I just wanted to confirm it. Yeah, that's March. So I'm really, really into them.

Starting point is 00:09:02 And my favorite storyline, I love the kid storyline, but the adults. I agree. I think that sometimes shows have a really hard time of staff. that you like both what's going on with the adults and the kids. Yeah. And when I'm with the adults, I love being with them and I'm going with the kids. I love being with them. So they're doing such a great job here of making us care about both things.

Starting point is 00:09:24 So for all those reasons, by episode three, I'm fully hooked on this show. And I actually think it was really smart to not show us Pennywise because what are we going to do with Penny Wise in eight episodes? It would get tedious, honestly, with that many episodes. This episode is the one that, like, really. put the nail in the coffin yeah but what's the positive version of that because isn't that usually bad it may a spooky season we'll go with yeah just put the nail on the coffin baby it's a good way you nail that coffin it expedited your enthusiasm for it yeah so we are we all on the same page that's

Starting point is 00:10:01 kind of cool that we've held back on penny wise or do you guys feel like you wish that we had seen him at least in person at one point at this point i think with the points you just mentioned it really would get tedious seeing him all eight episodes not that I mind because I love the character so much, but I think it builds up more suspense, taking their time with it. I think every good horror film should have great characters, first and foremost, and a very immersive storyline, but really taking your time on not showing the villain too often, because that really takes away suspense. So I think for the points you made, yeah, I'm with what they're doing. How about you, too? Yeah, I like it.

Starting point is 00:10:35 I mean, as I mentioned before, they're giving us the little Easter eggs. Like, we get to see the Pennywise cart thing, and then it opens, and you see his eyes. eyes. And you're like, that's kind of enough to hear his voice, whatever he said with his eyes and go, oh, but they're going to keep us waiting. That's a plus. It's like, all right, let's make it more of a suspense slash thriller because we are still dealing with children who are going to be children dealing with ghost chasing after them. Right. So there has to be a way that we keep it elevated. And I think not showing us Pennywise while also keeping the adult conversations and how they're moving very engaging, especially when Hanlon's

Starting point is 00:11:14 like, I never told you I had a son, you're like, oh shike. Do you make of that that he had well researched him, or did you make of that that he, that Pennywise had delivered that message to him? I don't, you know, because Andrew was like, oh, he's got Pennywise

Starting point is 00:11:30 in him like after he said that. And I was like, oh yeah, that definitely could be it. But then I was like, he was already given him weird looks. Day one, looking at him all weird and I'm like I think he knew all along but I'm not quite sure if it is because Pennywise he's got a little bit of that juice in there or if that he just has all the information

Starting point is 00:11:53 ideally from the second Hanlon arrived I have a theory so we drum roll everyone very theory theory so I believe because these are both Stephen King things right this is written by Stephen King right the whole what are both when you say both the shining and this So we, Tara and I just react. This is going to be a real theory or you're making a joke theory? I'm making a real theory, I promise. So Stephen King wrote The Shining and also wrote It. And the character of Dick Holleran, which Tara and I just saw in both It, excuse me, both The Shining and both Doctor Strange had the shine.

Starting point is 00:12:28 And he knew that Danny also was called Doc, I think, was his nickname, right, Tara? And he had the shine. So I don't know if both worlds interconnect with each other, but this character's name is Hollering. I don't know if they said his name was Dick. But that'd be fascinating. So what would that mean? Because I don't know that one. Because, like, he can connect with spirits and ghosts and shit like that.

Starting point is 00:12:50 So, I've been, I, if they are doing. I like that theory. If they are doing that, that'd be wild as hell. That'd be gnarly, as Tara would say. But timeline-wise, that match up? I mean, that movie took place in 1980, and this is 62. So 18 years and he was the chef in 19-7. But none of that matters when we're talking about whether someone has a shine or not.

Starting point is 00:13:09 It doesn't depend on the year. So it's like he definitely. And Haurin could definitely have the shine and just know that he had a son and everything else about him just due to the shine, no matter what time. And he can get inside people's minds and read them, right? Isn't that what Dick Holrin could also do, right? That's how he heard Doc, right? Or is it only with people who have the shine? With people who shine. Yeah, okay. Well, either way. His last name is Horan, so that's why I made that. That can end Stephen King properties. That's a great, great theory. I really like that. I'm very excited for next week to see what comes from here. and I want your predictions now. Tell us. Do you think we are getting Pennywise episode four? I'm not even answering it. No? No?

Starting point is 00:13:52 No. You're refusing? No, I'll just say no. He was going to say yes. I'll just say no. I think at the end of episode four is going to be our first because that's our halfway point. A halfway point, yeah. Can I ask you guys a really stupid question before we get out of here? Sure. That I should wait to ask you until we get off air, but I'm going to ask you now.

Starting point is 00:14:09 Why did it look like he had a sombrero on? in that photo. Pennywise? Yeah. Yeah, like he was wearing a hat, like a big old hat. What was that about? He was at the carnival.

Starting point is 00:14:20 We saw a carnival. He's partying down, partying hard. I mean, we don't know the date. It could have been May 5th. I don't know. Did it look like that? Do you guys know?

Starting point is 00:14:28 It was like, whenever he was like, yeah, it's on his head. He was hanging around with Javier Bardem. Oh, no. Because his hair is FFF. So it wasn't a hat. It was his weird hair.

Starting point is 00:14:43 It really looked like that. Also, I got to say this too. I think rocks, last thing, and then we'll call it a day here, or go move on to whatever is next. I think that the, uh, Roxie made a great point when she said, I love when we spend the time with the adults. It's like an infusion of both the first and the second movie. Yeah. Because we were with the children in the first movie. Then they were adults in the second.

Starting point is 00:15:05 So to have both flavors and to really be invested in both things is not an easy thing to do. and I'm so immersed and so invested when we're watching both sets of storylines as well as even the France I was shocked how much I was into the France's thing too yeah with Rose like just that love story line

Starting point is 00:15:23 and also why he is so besides the thing that yeah we need this for power for the military and all that's like no he's got a past year and like this I feel like possibly took away his innocence and like he needs to find out

Starting point is 00:15:35 what the hell exactly this is and all that so I don't know if I trust him but I don't want to make out. And that is where I stand on that. All right, where do you guys stand? We love hearing from you. So write your thoughts in the comments and let us know and join us again next week for it. Welcome to Dairy episode four. Later, Rejects.
