Going forward, since I’m writing about both movies and television, and possibly even more (want a Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild or Final Fantasy VII Remake review?), these articles are now going by Mario’s Musings. It’s short and sweet and rolls off the tongue easier. I won’t be doing music reviews though, because honestly, no one wants to read about my thoughts on the Beastie Boys, Weird Al or Oasis. Unless you do, then maybe we can negotiate something where I pretend to know what I’m talking about when it comes to music.

“Guys, where are we?”

The big question asked by Dominic Monaghan’s Charlie during the second episode, one that would hover over the entire series.

I’ll be honest; I’m a sucker for lawyer shows, even though I always cross my fingers so I don’t get picked for jury duty. I genuinely enjoyed watching Suits even though every season repeated itself. Angel’s main adversaries during his five-season adventure in Los Angeles were lawyers (until taking over the law firm itself in season five). Franklin & Bash was a fun ride until Heather Locklear put her death hooks into the show. And last but certainly not least, Better Call Saul is a calculating look at the evolution of Jimmy McGill into Saul Goodman. So of course, when a friend asked if I wanted to go to the sneak premiere of Bluff City Law, I figured it was worth a shot.

Well, this review doesn’t really need any introduction, does it? We all know story of IT, it’s arguably Stephen King’s most famous novel. We all know the imagery of IT, the paper boat, the red balloon, the sewer grate, and the sharp teeth. We all know Bill, Ben, Bev, Eddie, Richie, Mike, and Stan. I’m sure many people my age are terrified of clowns thanks to Tim Curry’s iconic portrayal of Pennywise the Clown from the 1990 television miniseries.
