Episode 106- The Thing (1982)

In remote Antarctica, a group of American research scientists are disturbed at their base camp by a helicopter shooting at a sled dog. When they take in the dog, it brutally attacks both human beings and canines in the camp and they discover that the beast can assume the shape of its victims. A resourceful helicopter pilot (Kurt Russell) and the camp doctor (Richard Dysart) lead the camp crew in a desperate, gory battle against the vicious creature before it picks them all off, one by one.

Host Jack hits a homerun with this childhood favorite and it still holds up to today!  1982's "The Thing" by John Carpenter is an amazing piece of storytelling, atmosphere creating and downright impressive compilation of puppet work / special fx.  Who cares what critics said in 1982 when it came out! This movie is amazing!  Listen to the boys discuss film history, trivia, and just reminisce over how much love they have for this film.  So grab your cold weather gear, a bottle of J&B and let the paranoia set in! 

We are the Reel Feels Podcast, every other Wednesday we'll bring you a new movie with all the feels you can handle.  We'll laugh, we'll cry and possibly restrain the frustrations to curse the heavens. But what you can count on is three guys sharing their love of cinema with you.  

Please leave us a review and share your "reel" feelings.
