66. Possessed by Aliens - The Thing, or: Women Can Be Monsters Too

Hello!! We're back, officially kicking off our fortnightly cadence with John Carpenter's THE THING (1982), and folks, it's a classic for a reason. This movie is going to be relatable no matter when you watch it, or at least until Start Fleet figures out how to make the world socialist. Until then, join us as we get a bunch of white dudes confused for each other, try to decide of Kurt Russell is attractive, and reflect on how cursed this episode is

Join us in two weeks for INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS (1978)! The book is unbelievably sexist, fingers crossed the movie is more sensible!
