    The Thing (1982)

    This week we discuss one of David's favorite films from the 80's - THE THING - directed by John Carpenter and Starring Kurt Russell. The TML Duo discusses the movie's place in 80's films and among other Sci-fi Horror films. Looking back on the book and the classic film from the Fifties that this film is based on, David and Izzi discuss why the film was reviled when it came out and is now a beloved cult classic. As a note, there are times, in the beginning, when David refers to the film The Thing From Another World as The Thing From Another Planet. We do acknowledge that in the episode and are sorry for the error. Visit us at tmlajourneythroughcinema.com.
