On this week's show, the panel tackles It and whether or not Pennywise is scary. Ricky Carmona and Alonso Duralde (The Wrap) are joined in-studio with indie producer and LA Film Fest programmer Drea Clark. April Wolfe calls in from Canada to tell us about her favorite films from the Toronto International Film Festival so far. And even though we're only in September, she's already got an Oscar prediction.   Plus, Ricky, Alonso and Drea draft their favorite misfits from movies set in the1980s to each form a Loser's Club of their own.
