Ep. 06-24: The Thing (1982) REDUX ~ 200th EPISODE!

Listen Later

THE THING (1982) In Antarctica, a U.S. research team is thrust into a horrible situation when a helicopter targets a sled dog. Adopted by the scientists, the dog, a shape-shifting alien, transforms, savagely attacking humans and canines, revealing its ability to mimic victims. Helicopter pilot Macready (Kurt Russell), and the camp doctor (Richard Dysart) spearhead a desperate, gory fight for survival as the creature systematically picks off the team. Trust crumbles, alliances fracture, and the unforgiving Antarctic terrain becomes a grisly battlefield for their struggle against an adversary that morphs into the very faces they once knew.
