Reeled In: “It”
Episode 70.5
In this week’s mini-episode, Noah and Chance review and rate the new, smash-hit adaptation of Stephen King’s It. While Noah is almost finished with King’s dictionary-sized 1986 novel, Chance came completely cold to this story about an evil force terrorizing small-town kids in the form of a killer clown.
While Noah fills Chance in on the issues director Andrés Muschietti’s adaptation doesn’t touch from the original novel, your hosts also grapple with how to judge horror movies with their rating system. Is it pleasurable to watch Pennywise the Dancing Clown torment the adolescent outcasts who call themselves The Losers’ Club? Let’s dive on in; you’ll float too.

Movie Reviews & Reappraisals
Be Reel is a movie reviewing & reappraising podcast hosted by Chance Solem-Pfeifer and Noah Ballard.
Each time out, we select three movies based around a genre and call up guests ranging from submarine captains to Oscar winners. Then, we rate the movies, weighing both technical quality and entertainment.
Noah and Chance are old friends who mostly respect each other’s opinions. Even though Chance is a fool and a traitor. Find their show presented at ThePlaylist.Net and follow them on Twitter for the latest on Noah’s literary agenting and Chance’s work in the Portland arts scene.
