    hello ladies and gentlemen welcome to the concession stand here on the kb radio network i am your host kevin reed and this is the review of it welcome to dairy Episode 7, entitled The Black Spot. This is the penultimate episode to Season 1 of the HBO series that is based on Stephen King's novel, It, as well as the movies. This is the episode that me personally, I've been waiting on because we got a true origin to Pennywise the Clown. We found out why. the entity takes the form of the dancing clown pennywise and this was probably in my estimation the most disturbing episode of the series uh so far i was just deeply disturbed not only because we got pennywise doing pennywise things here but we got to see humanity do be at their worst as well so it was it was twofold and it was devastating to watch all this entire episode was like oh my god man you can't run from the evil in this world whether it's an alien entity or just racist people humanity it's it's all around you know you can't escape evil and that's the feeling i got while watching this episode of the show and it look that's what it was supposed to do uh this played out pretty much how i pictured it in my mind but more terrifying than i thought you know because in the novel in the book that quite honestly i didn't read but i read some portions of it you know throughout time and i do remember when the black spot was mentioned it was only mentioned it wasn't really flushed out you know in the books because it was more it was told more in flashback and whatnot so to get a visual of what took place at the black spot was super disturbing and we were left off last episode with the little cliffhanger you know with the racist mob showing up at the black stop uh black spot we knew that it was about to go down but it went down in a major way this episode begins in eat Well, 1908 to be exact, where we got to see Pennywise, the real Pennywise, the dancing clown at this carnival, entertaining young children. And, you know, very, very interesting start to the show. I was they could have did the whole show, at least this whole episode in 1908, you know, because I was so engaged in this story with this. a carnival act with penny wise and his daughter and all this here. And, you know, it kind of made you feel sympathy for penny, penny wise, even though the penny wise that we know now, isn't that penny wise that he's just took it, taking the form of that, uh, performer in order to draw in children, you know, something like the pie Piper, if you will, you know, just something that grabs the children's attention because, The real entity was watching from afar as Pennywise was performing and saw how the children were completely engaged in his performance and how they loved him and were were mobbing him and whatnot. So the entity got the bright idea. That's one way to get children. This would be the perfect disguise. And sure enough, that's how we got the entity, which took over Pennywise, ate him, and became Pennywise. So, good opening, and then we jump into the black spot. And this is where it was completely devastating. You know, this episode was directed by... I am. Andy Musciati, who directed the films and a couple of I think the first two episodes of the show. So he he knows this world and he knows how to direct horror. That's his roots. And man, he really shot this in a very, very haunting way. You know, being inside of this club, this ballroom while is burning from the inside out. It was It was the most claustrophobic, horrifying places you can imagine being, man. And, bruh, the devastation. While the place is burning and you're still getting gunshots from the outside. And how the military, the black military men trying to defend themselves. And trying to get out of there and they can't get out. and All of a sudden, just when you think it couldn't get any worse than being burnt alive in a building, Pennywise shows up. And, bro, this scene, when Pennywise arrives at the black spot, was, I mean, chef's kiss, bro. I mean, he was full on Pennywise. The line that he gave Ronnie. When Pennywise took the woman, he acted like, oh, I can get us out of here, you know. And all of a sudden, Ronnie runs up and he sees Pennywise feeding on the woman and he's eaten half of her face off. And the line that he delivers, Bill Skarsgård is a beast. The line that he delivers was so funny, yet cold blooded while blood is dripping around his. face he turns to ronnie and says uh uh what's wrong do i have face on my face it is like what's going on right now it was it was oh my god it was brutal bad it was brutal they did not they did not skimp on the gore in this episode uh pennywise chopping um mr kirch head in half while his daughter shows up and she shows up thinking that her dad that that's her dad you know she's still under the belief that that's her father you know that she can break the curse if he sees her in her uh oh man what's the name of the clown that she is oh anyway in her makeup and whatnot and penny was just like look i'm going to sleep i've got my feel this is what i came for i'm good i'm going i'm going to bed it's nap time and and she wasn't having it and he's like look your dad's not here i ate him that's this this is just a this is just a disguise man you know and the deadites he opens his mouth to reveal the deadites uh i think they call deadites i could be off on that could be thinking of a different franchise of the evil day i can't what they call the lights anyway and she's uh uh comatose after that so she's done for and pennywise goes to have his slumber for 27 years and so at this point the military shows up the general shows up and talks to dick and he's like well i know where the pillars are that i know where at least one of them is and so he leads them to one of the pillars and they they abstracted and i'm sitting there like this is this isn't gonna go well this isn't gonna go well at all and so the military they take it uh to be examined and whatnot uh at least that's what they tell leroy to go be examined and all this here um i'm gonna go back to the black spot i will i wanted to skip over it i really did but i can't uh did The most devastating part of this episode, of course, was the death of Rich. And, man... not only his death but how he died the the ultimate sacrifice for marge hiding her in that freezer and talking to her while he basically suffocates you know um i'm glad he didn't burn alive but either way i mean death death is death but i didn't want him to get burnt up you know but he hadn't still suffering as he still suffered it it was devastating but he went out he went out like a soldier he went out like a knight you know that's the story he was telling her that you know knights don't just pee in uh uh bottles or whatever on side of their bed they also protect their meat and man at that moment bro i just i almost broke i almost broke i was like man i'm not supposed to i'm not supposed to i'm a grown man i'm not supposed to cry in this moment, but I almost broke because he went out like a grown man that is a grown man move uh uh rip to a soldier brother he will be missed one of my favorite characters on this show this season i love rich really did i i i'm gonna miss him the show is gonna suffer for that even though we only have one episode left but i'm gonna miss him um he he sacrificed himself for march so anyways We we Hank gets out with the kids and they hide him out at Leroy's house. And so they find a way. But the police, the police and everybody around searching for him believe that he was burnt up in the black spot. So he's pretty much home free, but he has to get out of Derry. And so Charlotte is trying to devise a plan to get her get him out of. dairy she takes him to rose to see if she can help um get him out and as far as the military is concerned they did they lied to leroy they weren't going to do any research they were going to destroy the pillar they had put it in an incinerator at least the the uh 1960s equivalent to an accelerator. And... Leroy tries to stop it. He talks to the general and the general tells him like this was never about Russia. This is about this country, how this country is tearing itself up from the inside out. Boy, the more things change, the more they stay the same. I mean, that was that was well, what, 60, 70 years ago. And we're still being tearing ourselves out, tearing ourselves up from the inside out, I should say. But, uh... The only thing that can control this is fear. The only thing that can stop this civil war that he believes is coming is fear. And so it wasn't about capturing the entity and unleashing it on our enemies. It was about unleashing it on us because he he pointed out that, yes, look at the devastation that took place at the black spot. But look at Derry today. date nothing is happening because everybody has the fear that this thing brings and that's what he he wants to do this to stop it it's like breaking uh eggs to make anomaly that's that's the way he's looking at it it's so uh leroy tries to defend you know what's right you know we can't let this thing out but ultimately of course uh it doesn't go that way they burn up the pillar and as they burnt it up pennywise who was in his slumber in a pool of blood and bones and guts and stuff awakes and we flash to will who was at home the phone rings and he answers it and it's ronnie and they're talking about rich and how he died you know will is trying to comfort is gonna be okay and ronnie's like no I can just imagine how he died, how his lungs burst open like popcorn and blah, blah, blah. And all of a sudden the voice starts modulating and we hear Pennywise. There's a back and forth. He's screaming. I know who you are. I'm not scared. I'm not scared. You know, putting on the front. I'm not scared. And he turns around and Pennywise is on top of the refrigerator, completely covered in blood from from his little. bloodbath i guess you could call it and leaps out at will will is frightened to death and all of a sudden he opens his mouth to show the lights and will begins to go into the trance and the episode ends um this has been a season man i i don't know what's gonna happen for the season finale but man if they would have stopped it right here i would have been cool i would have been all right because this was as close to perfect as you can get this this season as far as what i was looking for out of this season. Was it you know the best thing i've seen on television ever no it wasn't that but you know i like it i like the miniseries from the 90s you know i grew up watching that and then the movies were were really good the first one was great the second one it was good you know the second one was good i wish it was great but it was good and i just i'm just a fan and i'm a fan of stephen king and so going into this series and getting some backstory expounding more on the lore of dairy and of the entity and of these characters it has been a outstanding an outstanding experience man this has been sunday night viewing that uh hbo is known to give us just great great television uh Yeah, next week is the season finale. I hope that they can land the plane. Going by the trailer for next week's episode, it looks like, hey, all hell's about to break loose. So I'm confident that it's going to be just as good as the rest of this season. I can't think of one bad episode so far. Honestly, I know they had one slow burner, maybe two slow burners. but nothing i would categorize as ah they could have kept that episode no they were all good all of them are good this is the best one to me so far it's probably recency biased i don't know i'll have to wait and see uh give it a couple of days let it settle but i i deeply deeply enjoyed episode seven of it welcome to dairy i would like to know what did you think of the penultimate episode we only have one episode left ladies and gentlemen what did you think of this episode are you excited for the season finale are you thirsty for more do you hope and pray for season two if you do let me know email the show kbradiopodcast at gmail.com you can also search for the show on all social media platforms just search for the kb radio network also don't forget about YouTube, subscribe to the KB Radio Network channel. and like this video if you don't mind.

And, man... not only his death but how he died the the ultimate sacrifice for marge hiding her in that freezer and talking to her while he basically suffocates you know um i'm glad he didn't burn alive but either way i mean death death is death but i didn't want him to get burnt up you know but he hadn't still suffering as he still suffered it it was devastating but he went out he went out like a soldier he went out like a knight you know that's the story he was telling her that you know knights don't just pee in uh uh bottles or whatever on side of their bed they also protect their meat and man at that moment bro i just i almost broke i almost broke i was like man i'm not supposed to i'm not supposed to i'm a grown man i'm not supposed to cry in this moment, but I almost broke because he went out like a grown man that is a grown man move uh uh rip to a soldier brother he will be missed one of my favorite characters on this show this season i love rich really did i i i'm gonna miss him the show is gonna suffer for that even though we only have one episode left but i'm gonna miss him um he he sacrificed himself for march so anyways We we Hank gets out with the kids and they hide him out at Leroy's house. And so they find a way. But the police, the police and everybody around searching for him believe that he was burnt up in the black spot. So he's pretty much home free, but he has to get out of Derry. And so Charlotte is trying to devise a plan to get her get him out of. dairy she takes him to rose to see if she can help um get him out and as far as the military is concerned they did they lied to leroy they weren't going to do any research they were going to destroy the pillar they had put it in an incinerator at least the the uh 1960s equivalent to an accelerator. And... Leroy tries to stop it. He talks to the general and the general tells him like this was never about Russia. This is about this country, how this country is tearing itself up from the inside out. Boy, the more things change, the more they stay the same. I mean, that was that was well, what, 60, 70 years ago. And we're still being tearing ourselves out, tearing ourselves up from the inside out, I should say. But, uh... The only thing that can control this is fear. The only thing that can stop this civil war that he believes is coming is fear. And so it wasn't about capturing the entity and unleashing it on our enemies. It was about unleashing it on us because he he pointed out that, yes, look at the devastation that took place at the black spot. But look at Derry today. date nothing is happening because everybody has the fear that this thing brings and that's what he he wants to do this to stop it it's like breaking uh eggs to make anomaly that's that's the way he's looking at it it's so uh leroy tries to defend you know what's right you know we can't let this thing out but ultimately of course uh it doesn't go that way they burn up the pillar and as they burnt it up pennywise who was in his slumber in a pool of blood and bones and guts and stuff awakes and we flash to will who was at home the phone rings and he answers it and it's ronnie and they're talking about rich and how he died you know will is trying to comfort is gonna be okay and ronnie's like no I can just imagine how he died, how his lungs burst open like popcorn and blah, blah, blah. And all of a sudden the voice starts modulating and we hear Pennywise. There's a back and forth. He's screaming. I know who you are. I'm not scared. I'm not scared. You know, putting on the front. I'm not scared. And he turns around and Pennywise is on top of the refrigerator, completely covered in blood from from his little. bloodbath i guess you could call it and leaps out at will will is frightened to death and all of a sudden he opens his mouth to show the lights and will begins to go into the trance and the episode ends um this has been a season man i i don't know what's gonna happen for the season finale but man if they would have stopped it right here i would have been cool i would have been all right because this was as close to perfect as you can get this this season as far as what i was looking for out of this season.

    hello ladies and gentlemen welcome to the concession stand here on the kb radio network i am your host kevin reed and this is the review of it welcome to dairy Episode 7, entitled The Black Spot. This is the penultimate episode to Season 1 of the HBO series that is based on Stephen King's novel, It, as well as the movies. This is the episode that me personally, I've been waiting on because we got a true origin to Pennywise the Clown. We found out why. the entity takes the form of the dancing clown pennywise and this was probably in my estimation the most disturbing episode of the series uh so far i was just deeply disturbed not only because we got pennywise doing pennywise things here but we got to see humanity do be at their worst as well so it was it was twofold and it was devastating to watch all this entire episode was like oh my god man you can't run from the evil in this world whether it's an alien entity or just racist people humanity it's it's all around you know you can't escape evil and that's the feeling i got while watching this episode of the show and it look that's what it was supposed to do uh this played out pretty much how i pictured it in my mind but more terrifying than i thought you know because in the novel in the book that quite honestly i didn't read but i read some portions of it you know throughout time and i do remember when the black spot was mentioned it was only mentioned it wasn't really flushed out you know in the books because it was more it was told more in flashback and whatnot so to get a visual of what took place at the black spot was super disturbing and we were left off last episode with the little cliffhanger you know with the racist mob showing up at the black stop uh black spot we knew that it was about to go down but it went down in a major way this episode begins in eat Well, 1908 to be exact, where we got to see Pennywise, the real Pennywise, the dancing clown at this carnival, entertaining young children. And, you know, very, very interesting start to the show. I was they could have did the whole show, at least this whole episode in 1908, you know, because I was so engaged in this story with this. a carnival act with penny wise and his daughter and all this here. And, you know, it kind of made you feel sympathy for penny, penny wise, even though the penny wise that we know now, isn't that penny wise that he's just took it, taking the form of that, uh, performer in order to draw in children, you know, something like the pie Piper, if you will, you know, just something that grabs the children's attention because, The real entity was watching from afar as Pennywise was performing and saw how the children were completely engaged in his performance and how they loved him and were were mobbing him and whatnot. So the entity got the bright idea. That's one way to get children. This would be the perfect disguise. And sure enough, that's how we got the entity, which took over Pennywise, ate him, and became Pennywise. So, good opening, and then we jump into the black spot. And this is where it was completely devastating. You know, this episode was directed by... I am. Andy Musciati, who directed the films and a couple of I think the first two episodes of the show. So he he knows this world and he knows how to direct horror. That's his roots. And man, he really shot this in a very, very haunting way. You know, being inside of this club, this ballroom while is burning from the inside out. It was It was the most claustrophobic, horrifying places you can imagine being, man. And, bruh, the devastation. While the place is burning and you're still getting gunshots from the outside. And how the military, the black military men trying to defend themselves. And trying to get out of there and they can't get out. and All of a sudden, just when you think it couldn't get any worse than being burnt alive in a building, Pennywise shows up. And, bro, this scene, when Pennywise arrives at the black spot, was, I mean, chef's kiss, bro. I mean, he was full on Pennywise. The line that he gave Ronnie. When Pennywise took the woman, he acted like, oh, I can get us out of here, you know. And all of a sudden, Ronnie runs up and he sees Pennywise feeding on the woman and he's eaten half of her face off. And the line that he delivers, Bill Skarsgård is a beast. The line that he delivers was so funny, yet cold blooded while blood is dripping around his. face he turns to ronnie and says uh uh what's wrong do i have face on my face it is like what's going on right now it was it was oh my god it was brutal bad it was brutal they did not they did not skimp on the gore in this episode uh pennywise chopping um mr kirch head in half while his daughter shows up and she shows up thinking that her dad that that's her dad you know she's still under the belief that that's her father you know that she can break the curse if he sees her in her uh oh man what's the name of the clown that she is oh anyway in her makeup and whatnot and penny was just like look i'm going to sleep i've got my feel this is what i came for i'm good i'm going i'm going to bed it's nap time and and she wasn't having it and he's like look your dad's not here i ate him that's this this is just a this is just a disguise man you know and the deadites he opens his mouth to reveal the deadites uh i think they call deadites i could be off on that could be thinking of a different franchise of the evil day i can't what they call the lights anyway and she's uh uh comatose after that so she's done for and pennywise goes to have his slumber for 27 years and so at this point the military shows up the general shows up and talks to dick and he's like well i know where the pillars are that i know where at least one of them is and so he leads them to one of the pillars and they they abstracted and i'm sitting there like this is this isn't gonna go well this isn't gonna go well at all and so the military they take it uh to be examined and whatnot uh at least that's what they tell leroy to go be examined and all this here um i'm gonna go back to the black spot i will i wanted to skip over it i really did but i can't uh did The most devastating part of this episode, of course, was the death of Rich. And, man... not only his death but how he died the the ultimate sacrifice for marge hiding her in that freezer and talking to her while he basically suffocates you know um i'm glad he didn't burn alive but either way i mean death death is death but i didn't want him to get burnt up you know but he hadn't still suffering as he still suffered it it was devastating but he went out he went out like a soldier he went out like a knight you know that's the story he was telling her that you know knights don't just pee in uh uh bottles or whatever on side of their bed they also protect their meat and man at that moment bro i just i almost broke i almost broke i was like man i'm not supposed to i'm not supposed to i'm a grown man i'm not supposed to cry in this moment, but I almost broke because he went out like a grown man that is a grown man move uh uh rip to a soldier brother he will be missed one of my favorite characters on this show this season i love rich really did i i i'm gonna miss him the show is gonna suffer for that even though we only have one episode left but i'm gonna miss him um he he sacrificed himself for march so anyways We we Hank gets out with the kids and they hide him out at Leroy's house. And so they find a way. But the police, the police and everybody around searching for him believe that he was burnt up in the black spot. So he's pretty much home free, but he has to get out of Derry. And so Charlotte is trying to devise a plan to get her get him out of. dairy she takes him to rose to see if she can help um get him out and as far as the military is concerned they did they lied to leroy they weren't going to do any research they were going to destroy the pillar they had put it in an incinerator at least the the uh 1960s equivalent to an accelerator. And... Leroy tries to stop it. He talks to the general and the general tells him like this was never about Russia. This is about this country, how this country is tearing itself up from the inside out. Boy, the more things change, the more they stay the same.
