- Thing in the Time of Corona | S2E18
Eric and Matt are back with some banter on the state of the Thing during these strange times. We catch on the phenomenon of comedy with no audience, have a live content roundup, and celebrate the ingenuity of some local artists and businesses.
Finally, we mention a few cinema classics that may help you bide your time, and for once and for all put a nail in the damn Tiger King! We hope you give us a listen, we would love to join your quarantine.
1 hr 1 min - Tiger King | S2E17
Matt and Eric are back from the bunker to give you the lowdown on a bunch of Things Just In. We talk about the boom in live content during the pandemic, a great 80’s Rewatchable, surprise content drops including a new Nine Inch Nails Double album Ghost 5 & 6 and a surprise premiere of the Josh Homme and Iggy Pop doc American Valhalla, and more.
This week's Thing of the Week is the essential Cringewatch™, Tiger King. We try our best to process the insanity of this documentary gumbo of Big Cat zoo management, polygamy, murder for hire, and egomania gone wild. It is really...something. Come on in and have listen, but don’t stick your hand in the cage1 hr 7 min - The Outsider | S2E16
Eric and Matt are back on the airwaves to bring you the ThingPod in this time of crisis. We talk about some Things Just In with fitting titles: Marc Maron’s new comedy special “End Times Fun”, Nathanial Rateliff’s new album “And It’s Still Alright”, and Nelson Demille’s pulpy new novel “The Deserter”. Sensing a theme?
Finally, we compare notes on the recent Steven King inspired HBO series, The Outsider. The Thing or not the Thing, that is the question. So wash your hands, and your phone, and sit back and have a listen.1 hr 1 min - My Dinner with Andre | S2E15
Throwback THING!
Matt is on vacation this week so Eric has a solo talk with himself about a number of topics that interest him, including the 1981 cult classic My Dinner with Andre, in which two men talk with each other about a number of topics that interest them.It’s a minimalist episode of TheTHINGpod dear listeners, meticulously crafted for your listening pleasure.1 hr - An Evening with Norm | S2E14
It’s a very special episode of TheTHINGpod as the boys sit down with real-life superhero Norman LeFlore. If you live in the Traverse City area, it’s likely you already know Norm. If not, you’ll soon feel like you do. We talk about everything from his challenging upbringing in Chicago to his breakthrough in sports, to what it is that keeps him going as a never-say-die fitness inspiration to many. Join us for this rowdy talk with a truly one of a kind human. Do it!
1 hr 45 min - Motherless Brooklyn | S2E13
This week Matt took his protein pills and put his helmet on for the first ThingPod solo spacewalk. He does a quick recap on all things Oscars, shares his reservations on the second coming of Jesus (Quintana), checks in on the lurking HBO leviathan The Outsider, and more Things Just In.
For this week's Thing of the Week, Matt breaks down the Ed Norton passion project Motherless Brooklyn and why the world is better for it. Have a listen, can you hear him, Major Tom...Can you hear him, Major Tom...
1 hr 7 min - Parasite | S2E12
The boys are back from space to bring you The Thing! Eric and Matt talk Radiohead Spotify surprises, check-in on HBO's horror drama hit The Outsider, and the new season of Curb Your Enthusiasm (according to Eric, just prettaaaay, prettaaaay, prettaaaay, good).
For the Thing of the Week, we keep the Oscar best picture theme rolling with a discussion on Bong Joon-ho directed phenomenon Parasite. It’s a great talk on an absolute roller coaster of a movie that blew our minds. So come out of the bunker and have a listen, it’s safe...we promise.1 hr 23 min - Flash Gordon | Watch Along Special
"Flaaaash...AAH-AAH!"
This week we hop into our escape rocket to watch along with the Dino Di Laurentis sci-fi, super camp classic Flash Gordon! Listen along as Eric and Matt discuss the impression this movie made on their childhood and react to what it is like to revisit it after 20+ years...it is quite a ride. Also, the Queen produced soundtrack alone is worth the price of admission..."He’ll save every one of us!"*guitar solo*(secret escape rocket)1 hr 58 min - 1917 | S2E11
We are back to Thing another day! This week, our Things Just In include the new HBO Stephen Kingian sensation The Outsiders, Matt finally gets to discuss the much anticipated Mandalorian finale joke, and Eric shares his disdain for a certain Oscar snub.
Speaking of the Oscars, this week’s Thing of the Week continues our Best Picture Nominee roll with a deep dive on Sam Mendes's phenomenal WWI visual experience 1917. Tune in, because just like 1917, we do this podcast in one take!
1 hr 22 min - The Lighthouse | S2E10
The ThingPod crew survived the No Retreat, No Surrender watch along and live to tell the tale! In this episode, we recap the Golden Globes shenanigans, discuss the genius of Dave Chappelle on the heels of his Mark Twain prize acceptance, and tend to a mixed bag of Things of the Week.
Finally, for the Thing of the Week (and maybe year?) we dive deep on the brilliant, Lovecraftian madness that is Robert Eggers instant classic “The Lighthouse”. How long have we been on this pod...Five weeks...Two days...Where are we? Tune in and help us to recollect, ya sea dogs!1 hr 25 min
