What BBN said about it
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorGood morning! BBN Culture, and the BBC says Stephen King's Carrie is back, this time exploring the horrors of social media.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe BBC reports the cast and creator argue why it needed remaking. I covered a prom once in Bucharest.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorNobody was asked to leave, which was unusual.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorWait, Gloria, is this the one with the bucket? I've never seen a movie, but I love a bucket. Favorite bucket state is Ohio.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorChip, the horror here is the group chat. Frankly, a group chat has more bloodshed than any embassy dinner I've survived.
