The Thing (1982) - Nobody trusts anybody now... and we're all very tired. (ft. Nate Stephenson)

So here's the thing... literally! This week our special guest NATE STEPHENSON has brought us the 1982 cult classic, THE THING. Within the cold cold ice of this Antarctic set story, we uncovered more than just a mysterious, shape-shifting alien. We unearthed themes of trust vs skepticism, toxic masculinity, and the brutality of nature itself. If you want to go a little further beyond the typical, "who's a thing at the end," conversation, you said join us. Come on! You can trust us... or can you?!

Once again special thanks to NATE STEPHENSON for joining us in this epsiode! Show him some love by following him @lucentturtle or @grumpypoetry, or by purchasing your tickets for HALLOWEEN HORROR NIGHTS for the LA folks in the audience.
