Why not join Ian and Eric as they look at each character from the classic film. Starting off with a talk on their background to both films and the book, along with a brief overview of the creation of all three films.
Lovely stuff as usual, gents! Thought I’d comment on Nauls as I feel he’s almost the audience proxy for the film. Especially as he survives almost to the end. When I first saw The Thing as a 12-year-old, Nauls being the youngest meant I identified with him the most, and his reactions as a bystander character mirrored mine. Especially the fear and paranoia. It’s a toss-up between Nauls and Windows for who soiled the most underwear, but I think T.K. Carter did an incredible job in emoting the escalating wtf-ness and spiralling horror. Him being the youngest also explains the rollerskating and loud music, tbh. He’s closer to a teenager in that respect.
