In an episode that may not be what it seems, Vanessa gives Elijah the unenviable challenge of finding the perfect martial arts movie to pair with John Carpenter's The Thing. After talking about what a hunk MacReady is, Elijah counters with New Dragon Gate Inn. But what does a wuxia film about a power-crazed eunuch have in common with alien shapeshifters? Is Antarctica a desert? And why does Vanessa keep coughing? Hear the answers to all of these questions and more, in this week’s double-feature discussion!
The unofficial snack pairing of The Thing and New Dragon Gate Inn is xiaolong bao, a dumpling that hides a soupy secret.
This episode was brought to you by fans of John Carpenter's Starman.
