Episode 21 - The Thing (1982)

February 03, 2021 • Parkway Theater

This week The Parkway Podcast team reviews the science fiction horror film classic ‘The Thing’ (1982), directed by John Carpenter. In remote Antarctica, a group of American research scientists, led by a resourceful helicopter pilot (Kurt Russell), are faced with a gory battle with an interplanetary visitor that can assume the shape of its victims. Tune in as the team raves over the pre-CGI practical effects and theorizes on which characters are actually ’the thing’ — and whether a mustache-less Wilford Brimley is technically still Wilford Brimley.
