IT Chapter Two: It's a Lot

<p>This week, the Brides are back in Derry and recapping the crushing disappointment that is <em>It: Chapter Two</em>! Man. This is one of the most woefully messy films we'll ever cover on the show, specifically because everything that <em>does </em>work gets swallowed up by over-zealous directing, a script stuffed full of bloat, and characters that didn't need to be here (seriously, why is Henry Bowers in this movie?!). Along the way, we cover the absolute pointlessness of the opening violence, the sheer majesty of Bill Hader and Jessica Chastain, and the Uncanny Valley effects used to de-age the younger Losers. Also - seriously, Mike? Stealing from Indigenous people? Come on.&nbsp;</p> <p>Quick side note: Alysa has no idea how to work her new microphone. Apologies if your ears bleed.</p> <p>Side note, THE SECOND: No palate cleansers this week because this episode is already 100 minutes long and we didn't want to do that to you, but safe to say, Lindsay is still into Magnus Archives and Alysa is still rewatching spicy scenes from Bridgerton.&nbsp;</p>
