Episode 480: Jason is Not Trying to Scare You

Listen Later

Matthew Belinkie and Matthew Wrather haven’t been on the podcast one-on-one in a minute, and they have a lot to catch up on. The meta-theme of the podcast, winding through children’s books, TV Commercials, and the adult pursuit of Waldo, is what it means to be a child and what it means to be an adult, which makes it appropriate that the topic this week is the surprise smash-hit film adaptation of Stephen King’s novel It.

One thing being an adult means is supporting Overthinking It. If you’re not a member, please help us out: Join now!
