Hey, I just did a podcast on The Thing about a week before you guys did! You guys sound like your like it about as much as we did. It’s not terrible, but not great. Right?
But we’re both wrong. It’s a 4 star movie. It takes time to grow on you. I think that your podcast and my podcast, will probably make The Thing fans want to hunt us down and beat us up! I mean, there are some real deep issues here when you consider the 58 version (McCarthyism, racism, e.g.)–people write whole dissertations on this movie!
It’s funny that the chess scene stuck with you too! And yes, you must see Big Trouble in Little China. It’s K Russle’s best movie
That is TOO funny. I am glad I watched it, though I liked the 1950′s version a bit better. Still haven’t seen the 2011 version. And as for Big Trouble, Little China I will have to add it to my list. Hey, if you have an audio promo, we would love to pimp your podcast!
Cheers
Scott
In case any rabid fans of ‘The Thing’ get upset I’d just like it noted that I’m a big fan of the film! It’s Miles and Scott that they need to talk to.
