It seems like they kept comparing it to the miniseries instead of the book. The guy on the right admits to forgetting major details of the novel. I'm excited, too.
they weren't even particularly getting the mini series details right lol. he called richie as having encountered the werewolf in the house which never really appeared in the mini series, when he was just in the school basement. they should have lined up an expert haha. but they did better than a casual observer
