Added 2024-01-30 17:00:11 +0000 UTCHi Folks! Buckle up, because we watched The Thing, and my oh my what a ride! Thank you to everyone that voted for us to watch this movie. It was the perfect Winter film to totally not make me terrified to go outside haha. We both thought it was an absolute masterpiece, so we hope you have fun watching along!

I hadn't considered The Thing could be more than one person at a time!! Also thank you for all the recommendations, we both want to see more Kurt Russell!

2024-08-31 18:45:49 +0000 UTCBit late on this one, but consider two things: 1) The thing can be more than one person at the same time (bloodbourne parasite/symbiote?) 2) What exactly are they drinking at the end as Mac and Childs laugh while the winter overtakes them? Is it liquor, or is it gasoline from them making the molotovs earlier? If it's the latter and the thing doesn't know the difference between the two, then of course Mac would laugh as he knows he's doomed and chose incorrectly the whole time or got outsmarted at the end. Kurt Russell flicks? Escape from NY/LA both have been mentioned and always do alongside his newer stuff (Hateful Eight/Klaus films, etc) but what about Used Cars and Stargate? Honorable mention to Soldier as a sweet 90s flick that really makes you appreciate how much of a story Russell can tell with just his face.

2024-03-07 02:40:23 +0000 UTCA lot of people knock "The Thing, 2011" based at the Norwegian camp, but i think it is a great fim, prequel. Great reaction guys

2024-03-06 19:55:25 +0000 UTCAh yes, we've had a few people recommend this movie! We'll definitely look into it! Thank you for the recommendation :)

2024-03-05 19:57:18 +0000 UTCMay I suggest seeing the 2011 prequel "The Thing". It tells the story of what happened at the Norwegian camp before that dog reached the American camp. The movie gets bad shade because during the making, they scraped the practical effects and went with CGI. Actually the CGI effects aren't bad. Please consider it for the channel. I'm dying to see someone react to it. đ

2024-02-08 03:54:17 +0000 UTCNot a lot! I think he was actually more grossed out by the monster effects than I was! Hahaha

2024-02-06 19:17:30 +0000 UTCOooo wow, thank you so much for all of these recommendations!! I really want to watch all of them! Haha

2024-02-06 19:15:35 +0000 UTCGreat reaction! One of Carpenter's best. Y'all's facials were priceless. So many WTF moments in this film. Some Russell film suggestions below, without giving away the plot. Overboard - Fantastic Rom Com with his real life partner Goldie Hawn. Big Trouble in Little China - Another Carpenter film, and one of Russell's most iconic and beloved roles. Unlawful Entry - Russell in one of his few non tough guy roles. An absolute electric performance from the late Ray Lioatta as well in this film. Tombstone - Arguably the best modern Western of all time with an all star cast. Kurt's great in it, but Val Kilmer is the main reason this should be seen. Christmas Chronicles - Kurt Russell as Santa. Need I say more?

2024-02-06 18:53:27 +0000 UTCOooo well that sounds terrifying Hahaha. Thanks for the recommendation!
Chandra
2024-02-05 22:09:38 +0000 UTCOh, another similarly excellent sci-fi horror remake is the 1978 Invasion Of The Body Snatchers, starring Donald Sutherland, Jeff Goldblum, and Leonard Nimoy!

2024-02-04 03:21:20 +0000 UTCHaha! You got me there! Entertaining watch nonetheless. This movies and it's visual effects hold up so well every time I see it.
Noah Vogt
2024-01-31 02:13:38 +0000 UTCYeah that movie just keeps surprising with the great effects. So horrifying and still a bit of a psychological thriller 'cause you really don't know who to trust. Great reaction! If y'all get snowed in up there, feel free to react to some more great classics like this one, Loved it!
