  • G! News 024 - SDCC 2019 Highlights (Part 1)
    Movies Editor David Crow joins us to talk about a couple of highlights from his first day at San Diego Comic Con this year including a couple of amazing panels. We start off discussing New Line's popular ScareDiego horror event, which this year was devoted entirely to IT: Chapter Two, directed by Andy Muschietti, who was in attendance. David breaks down some favorite anecdotal moments from the panel as well as what we learned from the trailer. We then move on to our magazine cover story, Terminator: Dark Fate, which David says earns its R-rating both with the highlights shared and the f-bombs dropped throughout the panel. A surprise guest made an appearance as well! Stay tuned from more from San Diego Comic Con 2019 in future episodes.
