Description

🎙️ NEW EPISODE ALERT! 🎧
This week on The Popcorn Podcast, Tommy and Ryan descend into the storm drains of Derry, Maine, to explore the terrifying beginnings of HBO’s newest horror event series — Welcome to Derry!

We kick things off with Episodes 1–2, as the cursed town reveals its sinister roots. From unsettling new characters to chilling callbacks to IT, these opening chapters set the stage for a story soaked in fear, grief, and the lingering evil that refuses to die. Tommy and Ryan dig into how the series expands Stephen King’s horrifying mythology, the atmosphere of small-town dread, and how Pennywise’s legacy looms over every red balloon.

Episode Highlights:
🎈 Welcome to Derry Episodes 1–2:

  • The Shape of Fear: How the show builds on the nightmare of IT while carving its own identity.

  • Terror in the Details: Breaking down key moments, performances, and Easter eggs hidden in plain sight.

  • Echoes of the Past: How trauma and memory keep Derry trapped in an endless cycle of horror.
