Listen Later

This week in the compost pile, hosts Hannah and Cameron dig up a creature that takes it's shape from the victims it devours! No, not Mitch McConnell. He is far too scary.  We are talking about THE THING! We discuss the 1982 horror masterpiece directed by John Carpenter as well as the remake/prequel from 2011.

Also, Stay tuned for our favorite picks of the week.  Hannah stays on the horror trend with the book The Bridge (2010)  and Cameron tackles the historical fiction novel, The Book Thief (2005). 

Be sure to be ready for next weeks episode by watching Pedro Almodovar's twisted take on a romantic comedy, Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down!  (1989).  Makes you wonder, is this how Hannah met her fiancé?
