This week on New Release … thingamabobbers Ashley and Drew (Derrick’s gone fishin’) thaw out a John Carpenter masterwork of gore and suspense. The Thing dives headlong into human psyche and inhuman anatomy in equal measures. What it leaves to your imagination on one hand, it doubles down on in dog heads with the other. Who says you can’t split the baby. Kurt Russel goes all in on hair, beard, and gruff, all while donning a flamethrower like he’s born to be styled and hog wild. This motley crew of apparent researchers is about to make the discovery of a lifetime, and all that’s left to show for it is this godforsaken podcast. Pour yourself a tall glass of whiskey and search ‘New Release’ on Spotify or Apple to subscribe.
