Today, we tackle the 3rd and final film recommendation from Dan Erickson. To complete the trilogy of Dan's Sci-Fi Recs, we recap the 1982 classic... THE THING!
Starring two 1980s HOTTIES - Jurt Russell and Keith David! But we're not here to talk about how these studs took our breath away... ok, a little bit we do. But MOSTLY we're here to discuss what a landmark this film is to both Sci-Fi and horror.
We also come to realize by the end that all 3 of Dan's Sci-Fi recs have one thing in common: Aliens coming to earth to do sneaky stuff. Each is doing some form of body snatching, be it literal, metaphysical or biological. (Not appreciated.)
One can only wonder how these monumental films might impact the world of Severance in future seasons. (Please no ACTUAL aliens...please.)
Grab your warmest parka, put on your sturdiest snow boots, and let's get cozy by the fire. It's the safest place to be when The Thing has been set free!
Got a Question? Recommendation?! Theory!?!
