Episode 5.42 – Snowcat: This week, the guys dive into the swirling Arctic-cold rumor mill of a potential sequel to John Carpenter’s The Thing (1982). Naturally, this leads to the shocking revelation that Garrick somehow forgot there was already a prequel. Yes. A whole movie. That he has seen. And forgot existed. We take a moment.
From there, we dig into our favorite practical effects legends — the wizards who made monsters feel wet, sticky, unsettlingly real, and absolutely unforgettable. This, of course, spirals into a half-dozen nerd tangents. Because of course it does.
Then it's time for Trick-or-Treating Rules & Etiquette, including; Age limits (or lack thereof), Why porch light law is sacred and stay to 1 side at a time or zig zap.
In reality, are this close to becoming the neighborhood “Get Off My Lawn” guys. (Spoiler: It’s closer than we want to admit.)
Practical effects. Horror rumors. Aging disgracefully.
Just another week at Rum & Nerdy.
Two rambling idiots—Greg and Garrick—bring you the *Rum & Nerdy Podcast*, a weekly dive into the world of nerd culture through the eyes of late 40s/early 50s dads who still can't get enough of their favorite movies, TV shows, and theme parks. With a deep love of all things nerdy and a shared passion for good rum, these two buddies mix laid-back humor, nostalgic memories, and plenty of laughs as they discuss everything from classic sci-fi to the latest pop culture trends.
