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.

The In-Laws (1979)
Izzi's decides to pick a family favorite this week. The In-Laws, directed by Arthur Hiller and starring Alan Arkin and Peter Falk, is not only a good caper film but part of the screwball comedy resurgence in the 1970s. David and Izzi have fun discussing whether the comedy holds up or if this film is better left in the past.

Customer Reviews
A surprising mix of films
I enjoy the back & forth that the daughter/father duo have, although the commentary can get a little bogged down at times.
As a cinephile, I think it’s great that the films they discuss cover a large swath of genres & decades. Not all films are meant to become classics, some are just mindless popcorn fests, & it’s nice that they don’t have an agenda for the films they feature.
I enjoy the one-off “B roll” episodes & I’m looking forward to their next season.
