The Thing (1982)

Scotty and Andrew Season 5 Episode 159

Hi there, friends! It's the third and final part of our "The Thing" series. And we're finally going back to 1982 to talk about the classic, John Carpenter's "The Thing", starring Kurt Russell. This one is a daunting movie to discuss, as we know there are a lot of huge fans of it, plus it's been talked about a ton on other podcasts. So we did our best to talk about it in the fun and loving way we try to talk about all the movies we watch. We also talk about a new horror store that recently opened in Burbank, Killer Fitness. And of course, stay tuned until the end to hear what Andrew chose for our next movie!

"The Thing" is the second adaptation of John W. Campbell's novella, "Who Goes There?" It's a closer adaptation than the 1951 movie, retaining the alien's ability to imitate any living thing it comes in contact with, and how the men at Outpost 51 deal with it.

Feel free to send us a message! What did you think of this movie? Of this episode?
