The Thing

The Thing Review CFIR

This week on Cult Film in Review, the crew is reviewing another John Carpenter classic – so you know what that means – it’s another Kyle Smith pick, just in time for The Halloween season! The guys review The Thing…. finally. In this episode, Cody asks if this is John Carpenter’s most famous film. More than They Live? Or Halloween? Yeah, maybe. Also, the guys struggle to piece together the series of events that lead to almost everyone being taken over by a shapeshifting doppelgänger. Later, Mike talks about the subtle scenes that really paint a picture as to what Macready stands for. And finally, the guys discuss the ending that people are still talking about. Was Macready an alien? Was he about to be? Tune in to find out what the crew thinks!
