Join hosts Nick and Derral on the Seasoned Skeptics Podcast as we dive deep into the explosive season finale of HBO's IT: Welcome to Derry – Episode 8, "Winter Fire"! In this spoiler-filled discussion, we recap the chaos: A deadly fog engulfs Derry after the military disrupts one of the ancient pillars, awakening Pennywise (Bill Skarsgård) early and unleashing his most terrifying rampage yet. The young Losers – including Marge, Lilly, Ronnie, and Will – team up with Dick Hallorann and the Hanlons in a desperate battle to contain the evil entity before it escapes the town's borders and spreads fear across America. We break down the epic showdown on the frozen river, shocking deaths, connections to Stephen King's broader universe (including ties to The Shining and the original IT films), the heartbreaking funeral scenes, and that chilling 1988 epilogue cameo tying directly into the Losers' Club we know and love .Is this the best episode of the season? How does it set up potential future cycles? And what does Pennywise's time-bending revelation mean for the lore?
