Episode Transcript
This is now streaming with Jordan. Things happen here. If
we don't really talk about it, no one does. If
you're a Stephen King fan, then check out Welcome to
Derry on HBO, a prequel series to the two IT
movies featuring you guessed at penny Wise the Clown. This
(00:20):
one is set in the early nineteen sixties, with the
military searching through the woods of Derry, Maine for a
new weapon, one that instills panic and fear. Like the novel.
In the films, the victims of the evil and Derry
are primarily children, and thanks to some exposition by the
Native Americans in the area, we get to learn the
origin of penny Wise. We also meet up with other
Stephen King characters, including Dick hallerin Remember Him from the Shining.
(00:43):
The special effects are gory and over the top, and
word is that there'll be two additional seasons, one taking
place in nineteen thirty five, another in nineteen oh eight.
Scary and suspenseful Welcome to Derry and that's now streaming
with Jordan WZ Boston's news Radio

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
