On the heels of last episode, Donnie decides to pick a different kind of classic, one that creeps us out. John Carpenter’s The Thing is in a class all by itself.

Joining Don & Donnie is Co-Editor of Literate Ape and cinephile, David Himmel and we discuss the best decade for film as well as the greatest mishmash compilation of awesomeness in all of the eighties Big Trouble in Little China.

This week, Hall picks Ridley Scott’s Alien and it turns into a fanboy excuse as both hosts dig this science fiction horror hybrid and especially the creation of a female hero who eschews all the stereotypes of women in peril so popular in Hollywood up to this film.
