"I dunno what the hell's in there, but it's weird and pissed off, whatever it is."
-- Clark, The Thing (1982)
Hello again, movie fans! My wonderful co-host Xan Sprouse and I are back with a new episode of Drunk Cinema! This time, we watch The Thing, the 1982 science fiction horror film directed by John Carpenter, featuring Kurt Russell as R.J. MacReady, Wilford Brimley as Blair, Keith David as Childs, and Richard Dysart as Dr. Copper!
This time, Xan and I discuss things like Earth shifting its orbit, The Thing being our fourth John Carpenter film, the original 1938 novella Who Goes There? John W. Campbell Jr., James Arness as The Thing in The Thing from Another World, Kurt Russell as Snake Plissken, my love of Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins, Keith David as Spawn in the Spawn animated series, Ennio Morricone making the score sound like a John Carpenter score, the Antarctica Radio Shack, Adrienne Barbeau as the voice of MacReady's chess computer program, the Norwegian repeatedly failing to kill The Thing disguised as a dog, Richard Dysart rocking a nose ring in 1984, Blair having the "diabeetus", Xan preferring two-eyed Kurt Russell, the Norwegians digging up The Thing from being buried in the ice, Garry forgetting to use Grecian Formula on his eyebrows, Opus from Bloom County finding his mom, MacReady's love of dynamite, bonus monsters inside monsters, new Drunk Mail from Christine Peruski and Dave Proctor, our first John Saxon movie, and more!

Don Thompson!
