About this listen

The Film Jury heads back to Derry, Maine, to revisit the iconic 1990 miniseries adaptation of Stephen King's IT. Directed by Tommy Lee Wallace and starring Tim Curry, Jonathan Brandis, Richard Thomas, Seth Green, and Annette O'Toole, this TV classic terrified a generation — but how well does it hold up over three decades later?

Hosts James Patrick, Kristina Patrick, and Heidi Romans dive deep into the two-part structure, the limitations of network television horror in the early '90s, and the enduring legacy of Curry's legendary performance as Pennywise the Dancing Clown. The panel debates the film's pacing, character dynamics, special effects, and how it compares to modern horror standards and the later cinematic remakes.

The Verdict — 8/15 Gavels

  • James Patrick — 2/5 Gavels

  • Kristina Patrick — 3/5 Gavels

  • Heidi Romans — 3/5 Gavels

Does IT (1990) still float… or is nostalgia the only thing keeping it above water?
