Will You Survive "The Thing": 1982

Can practical effects from the 1980s outshine today's CGI? Journey with us through the eerie, frost-bitten landscape of John Carpenter's 1982 cult classic "The Thing." We break down the gripping plot and the visceral impact of the film's special effects, which resonate more deeply than the computer-generated imagery of the 2011 prequel. Join us as we explore some amusing moments like the infamous shared knife during the blood test scene and address various continuity issues between the two movies. We'll give you a dramatic synopsis and engage in a heated debate about which version had better survival strategies.

Hello everybody and welcome back to another episode of Will you Survive.

Speaker 2 0:28

The podcast.

Speaker 1 0:30

The podcast. Today, I'm joined by my beautiful host. As always, we've got Eric.

Speaker 3 0:38

And Alex.

Speaker 1 0:41

They're actually not Eric and Alex. I picked these two homeless guys up off of a in front of a home depot. Uh, they kind of we kind of brought them in. We needed the uh, the slight uh accent from both of them um, my name is juan.

Speaker 2 0:56

When do I get my 20? Get it after, okay, okay.

Speaker 3 1:01

I want 100.

Speaker 2 1:03

I taco is sandwich.

Speaker 1 1:06

Y'all aren't acting like Alex and Eric, okay, god.

Speaker 2 1:12

I don't know who. Eric is.

Speaker 4 1:14

At least he's my brother.

Speaker 2 1:17

That was a horrible bit, I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 1 1:19

Today, we're talking about the Thing, not the Thing, from 2011. We are talking about the Thing from 1987? 82., 82. Is that what I can? 82. Not gonna lie Thing 1982.

Speaker 2 1:35

This is the first older movie that I don't fully hate. I actually really enjoyed it. It is.

Speaker 1 1:41

It's a great movie. It is really good, great practical effects and there was no cgi in it.

Speaker 2 1:47

oh, okay, I want that's. That's like one of the main things I wanted to talk about the cgi in 2011. The cgi was wonderful. It was really good. They did really well with that. Something about the 1982 the fact that it was all practical effects it was so much grosser, grosser yeah like when they were digging in the, in the guts, in the body. I actually like, I almost like gagged a little bit I it holds up I didn't do that in the 2011, which is way more graphic.

Speaker 2 2:22

I don't know what it was about the 82 movie, that's but oh my god, it made me want to vomit, like some of the ah when they were cutting for blood. Why such big long?

Speaker 3 2:33

cuts okay okay, can I say something funny about that? So one of the things that made me laugh the most was they were talking about how you got to be so careful. You can't do anything. You mix anything up with anybody, because all it takes is one little bit for the organism to grow. But let's all share the same knife while we cut ourselves to test the blood.

Speaker 4 2:55

He just wiped it off a little bit.

Speaker 1 2:59

That's the most 80s, just wiped it on his jeans.

Speaker 2 3:01

That's the most 80s thing I've ever seen. Just give it a little wipe down. That'll be okay If y'all haven't watched the Thing 1982.

Speaker 1 3:08

1982. Do you want to do the synopsis, Alex?

Speaker 3 3:13

Oh, absolutely. You know, I love doing the synopsis. Are you ready? Oh shit, yep.

Speaker 2 3:19

He pulled out the glasses. It's getting real.

Speaker 3 3:21

Go out the glasses, it's getting real, go with the glasses here, say it in the most dramatic voice you can.

Speaker 3 3:28

A US research station, antarctica, early winter 1982. The base is suddenly buzzed by a helicopter from the nearby Norwegian research station. They are trying to kill a dog that has escaped from their base. After the destruction of the Norwegian chopper, the members of the US team fly to the Norwegian base, only to discover them all dead or missing. They do find the remains of a strange creature, norwegians burned. The Americans take it to their base and deduce that it is an alien life form. After a while it is apparent that the alien can take over and assimilate into other life forms, including humans, and can spread like a virus. This means that anyone at the base could be inhabited by the thing, and tensions escalate.

Speaker 2 4:23

So, mr Host, do you have anywhere in particular you want to go with this episode, or do you just want us to start going because I have something?

Speaker 1 4:31

we've been through this before. We watched the. You know the prequel. I think you know we should. Just, we should talk about you know which one's better, how they survive better. You know? Well, you know, actually, I think let me add okay, two people survived at the end and only one survived in the 2011. So yeah, oh, actually, no three survived in the 2011, two survived in this one, so I forgot about the.

Speaker 2 5:01

There was a few continuity issues that I feel like maybe I didn't understand, but I don't think so. I think they're just continuity issues, the first being that they were chasing the dog. No one was chasing the dog at the end of the 2011 movie.

Speaker 1 5:17

Just they were. Yep, you didn't watch the credits. The after credits oh shoot.

Speaker 3 5:23

It wasn't even after credits, it was in between the credits. Yeah, oh, shoot, it wasn't even after credits, it was in between the credits.

Speaker 1 5:25

yeah, yeah, it was during, I think we might have to have you pull that up so you could watch it, but it was pretty accurate to what it looked like okay, it was good in this.

Speaker 2 5:33

Okay, never mind, never mind.

Speaker 3 5:34

He first started shooting out of the window and then he ran out of the the station um sven. Was it sven? No, not sven, I'm sorry it was.

Speaker 2 5:44

It was the guy who went missing.

Speaker 3 5:45

It was the guy you guys, yeah, yeah, yeah, he went missing.

Speaker 2 5:47

He was a super cool guy who was like super on her side and was like I'm your muscle. I got the flamethrower.

Speaker 3 5:53

Let me find his name here. Let me find his name here.

Speaker 2 5:55

It was some.

Speaker 3 5:56

Russian name.

Speaker 1 5:57

He had to have been Pretty sure in the 82 one. It's just like norwegian one you know, what it is norwegian name.

Speaker 3 6:04

Yet but here's the wild thing. Do you know who? He was played by a russian guy, right, john carpenter, I don't know.

Speaker 1 6:11

That's the director, really what oh, or writer, I'm sorry, writer.

Speaker 2 6:15

And director john carpenter directed this um. Okay, so I I missed that.

Speaker 1 6:23

That's good um and he's just as shit at shooting in the 2011 that's right as he is in this one that is no dog, single shot.

Speaker 3 6:33

That's what he yelled out. That is no dog. And they got in the helicopter and he starts shooting at the dog oh, I, yeah, I totally missed that part.

Speaker 2 6:41

Okay, the other continuity issue that I had was who died from being frozen in the Norwegian facility. They cause Kurt Russell and his team.

Speaker 1 6:54

That was. That was let me look it up that happened in the 2011 one. It did.

Speaker 2 7:00

The guy died in the chair.

Speaker 3 7:02

So while he's looking that up, we have a funny comment. Your number one fan official says it's because he trained in the chair, uh-huh. So while he's looking that up, we have a funny comment your number one fan official says it's because he trained in the Stormtrooper Academy. True, that is a fantastic line, because the Stormtroopers, I think, are better at missing than hitting anything.

Speaker 2 7:18

Well, okay, I will say I would agree, except the only target he did hit was the human. He missed the dog every shot and then immediately nailed the guy in the leg and in such a hard spot, to hit the freaking leg he fucking nailed him right there. I don't know why I get it, but also like knowing what we know from the 2011 movie Colin froze. Colin was the English radio operator. I get it, but also knowing what we know from the 2011 movie Colin froze.

Speaker 1 7:47

Colin was the English radio operator at the station Okay, and he died by the wrists in the neck Gotcha, and that's why in this one you can see the blood froze which is kind of dope looking Okay. Well then, I have no problems.

Speaker 2 8:04

Froze which is kind of dope looking Okay, Well then I have no problems. Then, If all the continuity those are my only continuity issues If all those are in the 2011 movie, this was incredibly done.

Speaker 1 8:15

You know who else John Carpenter played. He played more In the 1982 one. He was the body of Colin.

Speaker 3 8:24

That's so funny, that's funny so I don't know where I saw this first, but I'm looking at this while we're, while we're recording goofs at around one hour and 20 minutes. Although fucks fuchs, I think fuchs fucks okay we'll say fucks. Although fucks has told them the alien organism is highly infective, they don't care about sharing the same knife to get their blood samples. Ha.

Speaker 4 8:49

I called that one out.

Speaker 2 8:50

Yeah, mm-hmm, I didn't even think about that because I was too busy going. Oh, from all the long, deep cuts that they were doing.

Speaker 3 9:01

I had a hard time figuring out what Wyatt Earpp was during doing in this movie, who you didn't know you got. Neither of you know this, huh no, you start using.

Speaker 2 9:10

These are from the 80s, bro.

Speaker 3 9:11

I've never kurt russell is wyatt erp in tombstone.

Speaker 2 9:15

That's like one of the greatest movies no, I've never really seen tombstone oh my god, how I didn't even know. I didn't even know kurt russell was whoa?

Speaker 3 9:23

that ain't no boomer thing, dude, that's just a popular freaking movie. No, not amongst our generation. Cap nonsense.

Speaker 2 9:31

Stop the cap.

Speaker 3 9:32

No, no, no, no, no no.

Speaker 2 9:33

That is still a popular movie. I've never seen Kurt Russell young.

Speaker 3 9:38

I got to poll the audience here, because I'm pretty sure Tombstone is popular even amongst what are you guys?

Speaker 1 9:47

gen z technically, oh you like to call yourself a zennial zillennial. Yeah, oh, you both call yourself a zennial, zennial zillennial. There's an actual study about it my little sister is gen Z and I don't understand what the hell she's talking about most of the time.

Speaker 2 10:08

We didn't eat Tide Pods. We are just below. That's the differentiation.

Speaker 1 10:12

We made the joke. We made the joke about eating Tide Pods. Their dumbasses actually went and ate them. We were calling them forbidden ravioli and they were like, oh bet, I'm going to actually eat it. Like who are you Be quiet? Exactly?

Speaker 2 10:28

I agree with him.

Speaker 1 10:29

Go eat some freaking Lunchables, you fucking child.

Speaker 3 10:31

That's still your generation.

Speaker 2 10:34

By technicality.

Speaker 3 10:36

yes, that's still your generation.

Speaker 2 10:37

However, there have been studies where people have thought about this and said that it is not completely wrong to consider Zillennials, a different generation, mostly because of the boom of the internet. That's a huge marker of a new era.

Speaker 1 10:55

I grew up without the internet until 2011,. I got the internet.

Speaker 2 10:59

We are like the last few years before the internet really just took over everything. So we're the only ones who could really remember those big box tvs being brought into classrooms. Gen z doesn't remember that because they never had that.

Speaker 1 11:13

I have one you have a big box tv up and I have one in my shed right now, but I had a box tv when I had a ps4, which is like I had one up until 2016, 2017 so then, you're old enough to remember that big giant tv in your grandparents oh yeah, living room.

Speaker 2 11:32

I played a lot of rock band on that, yeah okay, mine was a like one of the projector tvs that's what it was

Speaker 3 11:38

big box. Yeah, that's what it was three lights, three bulbs.

Speaker 1 11:42

Right, they had three colors on them I know what a freaking you know vhs tape is. I know, I know how to rewind. I know how to know what a floppy disk is I.

Speaker 2 11:53

I remember playing on a ps1 and using like an eight megabyte floppy disk and thinking like that shit was crazy my first game console was a Nintendo 64.

Speaker 1 12:05

Let's preface this whole conversation with Gen Z and us. We are different.

Speaker 2 12:11

They're not like us, they're not like us.

Speaker 3 12:15

Damn, your number one fan official.

Speaker 1 12:20

Once upon a time, all of us was in chains.

Speaker 3 12:23

He just blasted me. Just remember, if you were born before 1998, you're older than Google. You're older than Google. I'm definitely older than Google. I mean, I'm way older than the internet. Sliced bread.

Speaker 1 12:35

I'm three years away from you were born three years after the motor vehicle was made.

Speaker 2 12:41

Yeah, if you were born in the 20s, you are older than sliced bread. Wow, the motor vehicle was uh, yeah, if you're, if you're born in the 20s, you are older than sliced bread. Wow, I, when somebody said that about betty white and they're like, yeah, she's older than sliced bread, I was like there's literally no way and I looked it up and I was like that is she's older than sliced bread. That is crazy. You know who else was older than sliced bread? The queen oh yeah, but that girl, she lasted forever yep, yep.

Speaker 1 13:05

Her son is so old he's been wanting the freaking seat for so long.

Speaker 2 13:11

Did you guys see that portrait that that artist did of him? No, that, all red, oh pure evil, oh that whole his wife too that portrait is like oh man, and that apparently, that painter has done like the last. Uh, he's done like a few of their portraits, right?

Speaker 1 13:27

I think so damn, you look at it and you're like, oh man, warmonger yeah, it's like completely red all over and then just his face is like the right color.

Speaker 2 13:38

It's wild. It's a really good painting, but it's it's wild.

Speaker 3 13:41

I can't believe the king even let that be shown to be honest, I'm still doubting your guys's uh uh accuracy on gen z, not knowing the movie tombstone okay so everybody knows doc holiday we know how to use a rotary phone.

Speaker 2 13:55

I I'm fairly certain a gen z wouldn't even know what a rotary phone is you sure you know how to use a rotary phone?

Speaker 1 14:02

Yes, yeah, you put your finger where you want it you spin it, and then there's a little metal bit that, and then you just keep doing it until you get to the place you want. But you know, back in the day you didn't even need that, you just had to dial one for your number.

Speaker 2 14:19

When there was like two phone numbers, it was you and what was it? Edison.

Speaker 3 14:29

Messaging back phone numbers. It was you, and what was it, edison, messaging back and forth. You know, you know what? The more important, uh, the more important invention than the first telephone was electricity, the second telephone oh yeah, that's a good one.

Speaker 2 14:40

Damn, that's a stupid one. Damn, that's a stupid one. That shouldn't have got me. That was really funny.

Speaker 3 14:46

So, by the way, some of our survivors are telling you guys to stop bullying me. So knock it, the fuck off.

Speaker 2 14:52

Are you kidding me? If they knew what you were like off camera?

Speaker 4 14:56

I swear.

Speaker 1 14:58

He calls us slurs.

Speaker 3 15:01

So many times I call you slurs.

Speaker 2 15:04

Those aren't slurs.

Speaker 3 15:05

those are terms of endearment my goodness moon.

Speaker 1 15:10

Cricket is a term of endearment. What?

Speaker 4 15:24

what even is that?

Speaker 3 15:27

I have no idea what that was, but I mean I'll let you know after the podcast if I accidentally say that now it's as a term of endearment okay if he doesn't know what he needs to get back on topic all right all right let's get back on 1982.

Speaker 2 15:48

So when? Kurt russell said the n-word. That was crazy he's talking about the americans, they're just being really racist.

Speaker 1 16:03

The thing was actually a black man, it was just a guy in a black suit. They're just like get this thing out of here.

Speaker 3 16:12

Oh, my God, oh shit, I was wrong. I was wrong. Hush is not the episode that's going to get us canceled.

Speaker 4 16:20

This one is Thanks, tj.

Speaker 3 16:22

And the fact that we're not on camera is going to make it so much worse, because nobody knows that you're black.

Speaker 1 16:30

I'm black. My last name is a black name. I'm not going to tell you what it is. I'm going to clip that.

Speaker 2 16:37

I don't blame you for that, I'm going to clip that and put that in the beginning of the episode.

Speaker 1 16:41

Okay, I'm going to just Hi TJ here. Just a warning I am black, my father is black, my mom may be white, but I identify as black just a warning, like you're gonna rob them this episode, not a heads up, a warning that you're black.

Speaker 3 17:06

You guys are what the fuck you guys are unhinged.

Speaker 1 17:09

Warning tj is black.

Speaker 3 17:11

Please don't look at him weird so I'm wondering what you're saying is you would never survive in antarctica I probably wouldn't.

Speaker 1 17:20

I wouldn't, but then again I do got a lot of blub around me.

Speaker 2 17:25

So I would freeze an hour with full snow equipment.

Speaker 1 17:30

I'd mess around and eat a penguin. I could do it, that'd be so gamey, wouldn't it, I guess?

Speaker 2 17:37

Has anyone tried penguin before? Someone has to have. I'm sure somebody has, like Brazil has to have tried penguin or something. Yeah, penguin.

Speaker 3 17:44

Yeah, penguin.

Speaker 2 17:45

Yeah.

Speaker 3 17:46

I don't know they eat monkey brain.

Speaker 2 17:49

There's no way they haven't tried penguin. Today's special guest is actually a orca.

Speaker 1 17:55

He's going to tell us exactly what a penguin tastes like Orca.

Speaker 2 17:59

Tastes like chicken, I can tell we're all tired and hot.

Speaker 3 18:15

Yeah, this might be the most off-topic episode we've had in a while. Yeah, you guys are nuts okay, I got one.

Speaker 1 18:17

I got a question. Who do you think was the thing at the end? Oh, you think one of those carpenter do you think one of those was john carpenter said that one of the the last two people were the thing who were the last two kurt russell's character and, uh, keith david's character.

Speaker 2 18:38

I can't remember their names man, I think it was which that was like keith david's first movie, by the way that dope, I don't know who that is.

Speaker 1 18:46

You ever watched Princess and the Frog?

Speaker 2 18:49

Yeah.

Speaker 1 18:50

You know the hoodoo voodoo guy.

Speaker 2 18:52

Oh yeah.

Speaker 1 18:53

That's Keith David, the president from like Morty's Keith David.

Speaker 2 18:57

Okay, okay.

Speaker 1 18:58

You've heard his voice.

Speaker 2 18:59

Yeah.

Speaker 1 19:01

McCready and Childs are their names. They were the last two. It is confirmed that one of them is the thing. Who do you think it would be?

Speaker 2 19:09

I think it's childs no, I think it's mccready. First of all, childs had a good vibe. Childs was all vibes. Um, he was dope mccready, though. They found the fucking clothes that those two guys found the clothes in the snow, all ripped up. Mccready even did a voice note or a tape where he recorded that he believes the thing rips through clothing when it turns. We saw that exact thing in the snow, and then McCready shows up and is like oh, you don't think they would have taken my clothes and put it out in the snow?

Speaker 1 19:42

No, he had a different jacket on though.

Speaker 2 19:45

I don't think they would have done that. Yeah, I think it was McCready. I think he was turned a long time ago, but I think maybe the thing was smart and was like playing the long game.

Speaker 4 19:56

Hmm.

Speaker 1 19:57

Childs disappeared for a minute, though.

Speaker 2 20:01

Childs did disappear for a minute.

Speaker 1 20:03

And he was wearing a different coat at the end. Can't really tell because of the lighting, but he was but he also has an earring in, but that wasn't established until the 2011 movie but I don't know they did such a good job. I still think it's McCready this movie's been out for so long. Nobody's been able to figure it out. I think it's McCready.

Speaker 2 20:25

To be honest, this movie's been out for so long nobody's been able to figure it out. I think it's McCready, I think that's hands down. I don't really think there's a question about it.

Speaker 3 20:30

I think it was Childs, because he disappeared there at the end. Where'd you go?

Speaker 2 20:33

So did.

Speaker 1 20:33

McCready, though. Also, why did McCready laugh when he gave him the booze, when he gave Charles the booze and he took a swig? What if he put something in it?

Speaker 2 20:43

I don't.

Speaker 1 20:44

Hey, maybe you know the thing's trying to act normal. Let me put some gasoline in it or something.

Speaker 2 20:51

Potentially. I think he was just laughing because he said, like what if one of us is the monster? And then I think it was McCready who was like I don't think either of us really have the energy to fight that. If that's the case, and that's when they both laughed because they're like I mean, yeah, I think childs was the was the thing interesting I thought it was like hands down easy mccready, because he disappeared when they went up to the cabin.

Speaker 2 21:23

The other guy ran in and said it's MacReady. I found the clothes and then MacReady just shows up so weirdly after that and then he goes in and he was acting weird too when he was inside the facility. He was like I don't know, they did his makeup weird where he looked sickly and he was just acting weird. He was like I don't know they did his makeup weird where he looked sickly and he was just acting weird.

Speaker 1 21:45

He was very paranoid though the whole movie. Yeah, held them all at frickin' flame point the flamethrower.

Speaker 3 21:55

Well, but he couldn't have been turned when they did the blood test.

Speaker 1 21:58

No, because he tested his right.

Speaker 2 22:00

Right, unless he did get turned from the well no, then everybody would have gotten turned.

Speaker 1 22:04

It's been a real long time since I watched this movie, when he stuck it in the blood and it freaking, popped up. It made me jump.

Speaker 2 22:12

That made me jump. That scared the shit out of me.

Speaker 1 22:15

I wasn't ready.

Speaker 2 22:17

And then every time he did it after that I got really paranoid.

Speaker 1 22:20

Now, apparently in that scene you can tell who the thing is before they test it. Um, by looking at the glint in everybody's eye.

Speaker 3 22:29

Everybody has a glint, except for the thing so I do oh, that's cool I do have a little bit of a uh. Uh, we'll say I have a conundrum with the flamethrower, and the reason why I say conundrum is because the IMDB lists as a factual error Flamethrowers would be useless in Antarctica, especially outside. Gasoline, even in the form of napalm, has too high a freezing temperature to be forced out of a tank without solidifying. While there may be heating torches used, these would probably be natural liquid, liquefied natural gas, and not napalm. They also wouldn't shoot flames out as far as a flamethrower. Now, the problem I have with this is I was speaking with a mechanical engineer and he had said he calls bs on this quote-unquote factual error. And he said the crystallization point of napalm, which is essentially what is in a flamethrower, is, although it is extremely high, uh, it's not gonna. You're never gonna reach that point if a human being can survive what is it like?

Speaker 2 23:41

negative 100 or something?

Speaker 3 23:42

I think it's like negative 140 oh yeah, no, you wouldn't be alive so it's like, if I mean it's too low to really care, like the crystallization of napalm would be so, so cold that there wouldn't be a human to operate a flamethrower in the first place yeah, I think, uh, and I looked it up recently because right in the beginning there's a lot of fog and I was like that's interesting, is there fog in antarctica?

Speaker 2 24:08

and I looked it up, there is, uh, it said it gets down to like negative 70, negative 80, huh that's interesting but I'm sure with storms it gets colder, um, because it said near the coast, uh, there's a lot of arctic winds and it can get a lot colder and push some really powerful blizzards through. So I'm sure it gets colder than that during blizzards. But I think the average normal is like negative 70 around there. All right From my very quick Google search of it.

Speaker 3 24:40

Right.

Speaker 1 24:40

So I was looking it up. There were numerous endings that were filmed and edited, but, uh, the one that we've seen was the one that eventually made it through. There was one where uh mccready was rescued and given a blood test proving that he's human, um, and another one child was omitted completely, like just wasn't there, I guess, and then they eventually got that one that we've seen I kind of like this one the best, because the thing um, according to mccready, the thing was trying to get itself frozen because it it didn't want.

Speaker 3 25:17

It didn't want to be killed, of course, so it was trying to get itself frozen so that it would be discovered by somebody else.

Speaker 2 25:23

It knew someone else was going to come and and discover it and release it later, so that was its ultimate goal yeah, and that's kind of like what they were talking about at the end, when it was just mccready and childs, where they were saying, like the goal of the thing is to is to be frozen right now, like the, the camp is going to heat up for a while, but it's eventually going to die. And that's when one of them said, like what if one of us is the monster? And the other was like, well, I don't think either of us has the energy to fight, so so I have.

Speaker 3 25:55

I have a hard time with this movie in a couple of different ways. Talking survival because, number one, they didn't go into anything that they were doing in the base. What was their scientific function? What were they researching? What was everybody's expertise?

Speaker 3 26:12

they were just vibes I don't know what they were doing, I don't know who they were, I don't know, like, what did they know? How did they know it, all of that stuff. So in this one, it's really the hardest thing to say is um, you only survive if you're not there, clearly, because only mccready and childs were were alive at the end, right like well, what one dude's job was.

Speaker 1 26:35

He was trying to find that. Uh, he was trying to find and grow that antarctic kush. The whole movie was just smoking whole time I forget what his name was.

Speaker 2 26:42

I forget what his name was and he actually just disappeared which is kind of crazy like.

Speaker 3 26:48

So they never showed his death on screen. Did you notice that?

Speaker 4 26:52

I don't, I don't even remember, he just disappeared.

Speaker 3 26:55

You're talking about the cook, right, he was like well, there was the cook, he was the one who yelled the other guy, the guy.

Speaker 1 27:02

Oh, I now I know who you're talking about.

Speaker 3 27:03

Yes, yes, I think I kept the cook. He was the one who yelled the other guy, the guy. Oh, I, now I know who you're talking about. Yes, yes, I think I kept the cook, smoking out the cook.

Speaker 1 27:08

So the cook, he actually when they're down and like that underground area setting up the dynamite, he just like walks off camera and they actually filmed a scene for that but they didn't end up adding it in, right. But the scene was like when the thing eventually shows itself, like to main character guy McCready um, a part of it would be him Like you'd see his face and he'd be screaming like help me. Like his whole, like his whole torso would be sticking out, like he'd be like help me, help. But yeah, he did kind of just disappear near the end.

Speaker 1 27:47

But yeah, the one guy he had like the biker jacket, that guy he just high. Imagine how bad of a high that would be.

Speaker 2 27:57

Yeah, so that'd be well. I think you would sober up real quick from something like that.

Speaker 3 28:02

True, I think, yeah, up real quick from something like that, true, I think, yeah, the adrenaline alone.

Speaker 2 28:06

Yeah, it would sober you up in an instant. But I think the craziest part is that you can't just go to Antarctica. If you go to Antarctica, you're going there with a job, with a reason to go there, usually from the government because I don't think anybody else just goes to Antarctica just for the hell of it, except maybe like National Geographic and stuff like that.

Speaker 1 28:33

Well, they have a reason to be there.

Speaker 2 28:35

Yeah, but that's what I'm saying. It's weird to me that this guy could just go there and just get high.

Speaker 3 28:41

So Sam Probably had a job of some sort but, Sam just helped me out and says they were researching the dynamics of magnetics and magnetism in sub-zero conditions, which is, I mean, that's a pretty mechanical, that's a pretty mechanical experimentation there.

Speaker 2 29:00

Sounds believable to me.

Speaker 3 29:01

Ooh magnet.

Speaker 1 29:02

Get cold Magnet. Do something different. Put it in the freezer, like what do you?

Speaker 3 29:07

magnet not work like magnet? Now I know, considering we do have such a thing as sub-zero freezers here in restaurants, have them obviously I think they're.

Speaker 2 29:18

They're looking at specifically the magnetic poles and how those react.

Speaker 3 29:24

Oh, maybe South Pole.

Speaker 2 29:25

Yeah, I think that's more probably what they're experimenting with.

Speaker 3 29:28

Oh, we are going to piss off some flat earthers right now talking about the South Pole.

Speaker 2 29:33

You mean the?

Speaker 3 29:33

outer ring. The outer ring has no magnetism.

Speaker 1 29:37

That's why yeah the ice wall.

Speaker 3 29:38

It's only the north that has the magnetism.

Speaker 2 29:42

That's why, if you go to the South Pole, your compass starts pointing that way.

Speaker 3 29:45

I don't know that it does.

Speaker 2 29:49

Does it not? I think it stays north, but it doesn't point to the nearest pole.

Speaker 3 29:52

No, but one of the no. Not the nearest, definitely not, but one of the things that is oh well then, completely ignore me.

Speaker 2 29:59

I don't know what I'm talking. One of the things.

Speaker 3 30:00

That's completely interesting is, if you go down below the 66th uh parallel minus 66th parallel, um, allegedly the compass just spins because north is everywhere that's cool hmm, is that before or after you break through the firmament? Uh, no, that's before. You're not even close to the firmament before that though.

Speaker 1 30:21

Before that, though, the poles have to flip, but okay, and in this hypothetical situation, is the government coming after me because I know about the oh, yeah, the us okay, no, they're not coming after you for that.

Speaker 3 30:31

They're coming after you because of the freaking thing, man, they're gonna try to weaponize that bad boy okay, so this is what I was talking about in the first movie.

Speaker 2 30:39

My first instinct would be like, wow, call the military, that's fucking crazy. But also it's like, hmm, if I call the military, I feel like I'm just going to be experimented on, even though that's that's what I think too.

Speaker 3 30:51

I'll give you guys a little bit of a throwback to the mist, right? One of the things that I think of is that it's going to, basically, you're going to die no matter what. Yeah, because the military comes along. This was a dark theory of all of the people that you see, all the quote unquote survivors being carried away by the military. It's like, yeah, no, you're not going to get to tell this story to anybody. We're not going to let you tell this story. You're done, they're going to a camp to be experimented on the rest of their lives, however long that be.

Speaker 3 31:18

The other extremely dark theory I don't think we went over this in the, in the episode uh, but I read it afterwards was super, super dark theory. Uh, the, the actual human sacrifice did end the mist because as soon as the main character unalived his own son, it all ended. How creepy is that.

Speaker 2 31:42

That's a dark theory yeah, there's a theory there. I I don't think I think the military was already on its way, but okay.

Speaker 3 31:50

So, uh, the thing, 1982. A couple of the things that I guess I would I'm okay with, but I just will call them. Uh, they're not. Continuity, what's the word? What's the word? What's the word? Let me, I'll tell you what it is first, and then we can figure out what the name is. But when he's trying to fire the flamethrower and it's just like, and the other guy just stands there watching, okay, how do you survive? Something like this?

Speaker 3 32:17

you don't hesitate it's you know what the hell is going on by this point. This isn't a mystery. You didn't get caught by surprise and you're like, oh my God, what is this thing? I've never seen anything like this, like there's nothing close to that.

Speaker 2 32:32

It's a plot weapon.

Speaker 3 32:33

It definitely is.

Speaker 2 32:34

So here's my, here's another plot weapon. Why would you tie everybody together? Why would you not tie them each individually to different things in the room? Why would you tie them all together because you expect that one of them is going to be the thing and that the rest won't. Yep. So why would you tie them all together so that they could infect everybody at once? Yep, that's, that's just not us, because you can't flamethrower just one of them when they're all tied together. That's true. So it's just a really dumb strategy yeah yeah, that's a good.

Speaker 1 33:10

Also, the thing in the 2011 version is a lot more ruthless. It uses its tendrils to like shank you like, immediately, as soon as you see it. This one kind of just like flaps around for a minute yeah, the tendrils were very different.

Speaker 2 33:28

Oh okay, so we did this in the first episode, let's do this in this one. Which one was your guys's favorite monster?

Speaker 3 33:35

oh, that's a good one. This one didn't show it as prominent as 2011. They were more daring with showing it, but I think I think my favorite was in the room when they um, what was the scene where it looked like a little spider running around on the?

Speaker 2 33:52

ground.

Speaker 3 33:53

Yeah the head and oh my god, that was awful I think that's the one where they were testing the blood, wasn't it?

Speaker 1 33:59

no, the head that was when it was on the table.

Speaker 2 34:04

Yeah, it like so that was the one where it like it. It sprouted up out of his chest and it attached to the ceiling and like, created like tendrils that. That one was my favorite cause. It was so unique and cool. Um, but then his head separated and the head became like the little crawly thing.

Speaker 3 34:22

That's what it was. Yeah yeah, yeah, he was like his head was leaning back on the table.

Speaker 2 34:27

That one was cool, but that's like close tied to the dog one because the dog one was. I kind of have a beef about the dog one too, but the I feel like the dogs would have known that that wasn't one of their own.

Speaker 1 34:40

I mean, it can mimic, like everything about whatever it's mimicking, yeah, but it's a dog. So it took them a second, but they ended up realizing no, they only knew when it started changing, when it started going like. This is my favorite, because you can see, I sent it in the table chat you can see dude's face and then it's just oh, yeah, that's good.

Speaker 2 35:05

Yeah, that's good, right there that's very freaky I don't like how lubed up everything is yeah, maybe that's what I didn't like about it. Everything was just 90 percent lube.

Speaker 1 35:16

Yeah, just astro glide all over it I.

Speaker 2 35:19

I can feel it like I can. I can feel it on my skin right now. Why is it sweating so much? Yeah, I don't know the dog one. I feel like the dogs would have known right away. Because didn't they react in the 2011 movie? Didn't they react right away. It already knew it was like I don't like this guy.

Speaker 1 35:41

Oh, dude, right when it started changing and like it opened its face and then the skull of the dog falls out yeah, that was crazy.

Speaker 2 35:51

That was very okay. That one was like very 80s, uh kind of stunt work, but I really liked it. It was very well done for the time. But it it's also interesting because now movies have such a higher budget and it's it doesn't cost as much to do high production things like that. So, like cgi for the 2011 movie, I don't think it was cheap, but they were able to do cgi for every single monster.

Speaker 2 36:17

There's some that they skipped out on in this movie and they just let you imagine what happened. Some that they skipped out on in this movie and they just let you imagine what happened, because I assume they couldn't afford to make another monster. So they picked the ones they wanted to do and they picked the scenes they were going to put their CGI money into, like the big scene where they see the giant ship, which I loved that scene, and the scene where the thing had broken out of the ice block. When I saw both of those, I was like, oh, it's like the first movie, it's like the 2011 movie. Yeah, it was really close. It was very well done from the 2011 version.

Speaker 3 36:55

So I got a little trivia for you and I like it. Well, it's not really trivia, this is just information, but it's really cool. At around 14 minutes, john carpenter comments that one of the bush pilots used on the film offered to crash one of the helicopters for money. And then, when mccready and dr cooper go to visit the norwegian camp via helicopter, the bush pilot actually turned the controls over to kurt russell once the chopper was off the ground. If you watch the shot, you see the copter actually wobble. That's Russell taking the controls.

Speaker 2 37:28

That's pretty freaking wild. That's very wild. That's very 80s, because you could never get away with that nowadays. I know there would be so many lawsuits flying yeah unless you're like Tom Cruise, yeah, who has his pilot's license and can do it. Yeah, that guy's crazy he is.

Speaker 3 37:48

What else? What else can we say about this movie? I mean, it's it was same thing, only different, except for um, I think I I did actually learn. John Carpenter considers this to be the first of his apocalypse trilogy trilogy. John Carpenter considers this to be the first of his Apocalypse trilogy. So it's the Thing Prince of Darkness and In the Mouth of Madness. They're really not linked directly, but they're loosely linked. They say so. It's an interesting concept I've never seen the other two.

Speaker 3 38:22

Prince of Darkness is actually back when I was a kid. It was actually freaking terrifying. Uh, I want to watch it now because watching it as a kid and as a teenager pre-teen it was absolutely horrifying.

Speaker 3 38:32

So I really wonder what it would look like to me now if it holds up yeah, if I watch it and I actually get afraid, or am I going to be like what, what is? What is this nonsense? Like I used to be really afraid of the movie the Gate and I just watched it recently and it just made me laugh the entire way through. It was so silly. There was like claymation.

Speaker 4 38:52

It was hilarious.

Speaker 2 38:54

I felt that about some movies that I've gone back to that used to scare me and it's just like man, now that I can identify all the stunt work and all the makeup and everything, it's not as scary, and I don't know if this is just incredibly rational, but sometimes if I find myself getting scared of a movie, I will literally catch myself just going this is an actor and this is makeup and all of a sudden it is not scary at all, because I'm like now it's just cool that you're doing that yep, so I mean, but survival in in this situation, I, because I, I like the end.

Speaker 3 39:33

Let's just, um, if we play, pretend that you didn't ruin you, burst my bubble, and one of these two is the thing. Let's's pretend that they're not right, it doesn't matter. Like you're not surviving this. It's the winter. We were already told in the, in the prequel, that there was a storm coming and nobody was coming to these stations for weeks. Right, likely likely, it was going to be weeks, which I've heard. That's not, that's not abnormal in um in antarctica at that time. Right, I mean, you're basically in space.

Speaker 1 40:10

Like you are, nobody's there you're untouchable.

Speaker 3 40:13

They can't get to you when the storms hit. And in the winter the storms are freaking brutal. The winds are hurricane force winds. The snow is is is whiteout level, so you can't see anything.

Speaker 2 40:25

You're not going anywhere.

Speaker 3 40:26

Yeah, no, nobody's coming to get you.

Speaker 2 40:28

And they burned the whole facility.

Speaker 3 40:30

And so they're without shelter.

Speaker 2 40:32

They knew.

Speaker 1 40:33

Well, I think I would survive this, for the simple fact that it didn't take place in uh Antarctica.

Speaker 3 40:41

It took place on a sound stage in los angeles and they refrigerated the set to 40 degrees to make the appearance that it was cold, while it was 100 degrees outside oh man, the power I was gonna say the power the power bill I wonder how many blackouts they were solely uh responsible for in 82 a whole freaking sound stage, a refrigerator, that, bro.

Speaker 1 41:05

Oh my god, I don't know.

Speaker 2 41:06

Let me uh, maybe maybe I have an idealized version of what the 80s were like, but I feel like maybe our infrastructure was a little better yeah for its time than it is now well, while we're on a little uh, on a little um, horror, kick out of apocalypse scenarios.

Speaker 3 41:26

Sam DeWeerdo says children of the corn. Still freaks her out. Even the song at the beginning Nope, nope, nope.

Speaker 2 41:34

I've never seen children of the corn.

Speaker 1 41:36

I seen it once a long time ago. It was eh to me. My mom really loves it, though.

Speaker 3 41:43

I mean children of the corn. Terrified me before. You know which one holds up. Terrified me then.

Speaker 2 41:47

Terrifies me now texas chainsaw masker I don't really, I don't hold up ever actually watched that movie all the way through.

Speaker 3 41:54

I mean it's hard to scare me. I, when I say terrify, it's like it, I mean it in a good way, because I like to be scared, and if a movie can scare me, I'm really impressed. I will tell you guys, I've watched a few different movies that I was trying to find for us to review.

Speaker 2 42:13

So I saw you watching that one Netflix one. Was it Cargo, cargo?

Speaker 3 42:17

Was it good? It's really good, but as I was watching it, I realized I already knew this one. I think I've seen it because there's really good, but I, as I was watching it, I realized I already knew this one. I think I've seen it, uh, because there's a lot of scenes that were familiar and I know the ending that one gives me so much anxiety it is it.

Speaker 3 42:31

I'm at the point I'm at the point where the anxiety is the the harshest because he is going to turn, yeah, and he has a baby he gets bit and he has a baby and he has a baby.

Speaker 2 42:42

He gets bit and he has a baby, and he knows how long he has before he turns, and so he's trying to find somebody to take over the baby for him. And as somebody who has baby siblings, it just hit pretty hard and it makes me not want to watch that movie because it gives me so much anxiety.

Speaker 1 43:00

But I'm sure it's even amplified for you. The poster of it is kind of dope looking it's really dope.

Speaker 2 43:06

It's australian good movie. Australians, man, they do some good shit the other one I watched.

Speaker 3 43:11

It's getting like last of us type, you know like yep, it's kind of brutal it's it's very brutal, it's they don't hold back and the zombies are intense, like they turn rather quickly, and they are absolutely violent. Is it 72 hours? Don't hold back? And the zombies are intense, like they turn rather quickly and they are absolutely violent isn't it 72 hours?

Speaker 2 43:27

isn't that the thing? Like 48, oh 48. He has two days. Yeah, that's crazy. That's another thing like it's kind of. Also, it's a similar thing with radiation, where if you get bit you're dead dead. You're a dead man walking. It's like the guy who activated the demon core by accident. You guys know about that story.

Speaker 3 43:51

Which one?

Speaker 2 43:52

The doctor who was. It was his last time testing with the demon core and he dropped the plates, yes, and it set off the demon core and he told everybody to mark where they were standing, because then he could calculate how many years of their life were gone. Yep, but what's crazy is he's doing all of that knowing that he was just, uh, submitted to a lethal amount of radiation. He was a dead man walking he was right.

Speaker 1 44:18

I mean, bro was a fucking idiot.

Speaker 2 44:20

I'm sorry yeah, no holding together like what was it like a pencil and his hand driver? Oh, it's a screwdriver head screwdriver for scientific research.

Speaker 1 44:33

Sir, you could have made something a little bit more secure.

Speaker 2 44:37

No ppe no, nothing, some kind of vice grip. He wasn't even using gloves because he said they got in the way.

Speaker 4 44:44

Yep like it was a really that would even help, no, but it's a really stupid like.

Speaker 2 44:50

It just shows you the lack of care and he paid for it.

Speaker 1 44:53

So I mean just wear some like lead line stuff, you know, like do something, or just be a little safer with the.

Speaker 2 45:00

I I get I don't't know. Part of me is like I don't get it Cause I don't think you really need to test that kind of like. There's better ways to test that.

Speaker 1 45:08

You're literally playing with fire.

Speaker 2 45:10

You don't. Yeah, you don't have to be in the room.

Speaker 1 45:12

Might as well go lick the elephant's foot in Chernobyl. Like, exactly Like.

Speaker 2 45:17

I don't know what he was thinking. That was insanity. No, I mean so that thing claimed the lives of so many people. The fucking demon core.

Speaker 3 45:26

There's. What are the other ones I've watched? Just recently I went into a little bit of a werewolf kick, if you guys are into werewolves at all. I've watched Bad Moon. Oh God, we're enemies.

Speaker 2 45:43

That's Alex's favorite movie. Don't talk shit on. Twilight. I hate Twilight.

Speaker 1 45:48

I live a couple hours away from Forks. See, that's what you get Drooled your beer all over yourself for telling lies about me that is like plus one point to eric for making fun of alex, both with me, plus one to alex for taking all the hits. I've been, I've been giving y'all points behind the scenes, by the way. I just haven't been shouting them out.

Speaker 3 46:13

Oh nice. Something else I just watched recently I recommend for you guys Is Hell House LLC.

Speaker 2 46:23

You've recommended that like four times to me.

Speaker 1 46:26

It's pretty good I listened to a podcast on it, I think.

Speaker 3 46:30

It's pretty good. I was pleasantly surprised by that. I don't know, maybe because all of the hype was, you know, it was I don't know how to say it. It was like super hyped up at first and I let it die down and I started seeing, like I think, the true horror fans who were like no, it's okay, it's okay. And when I hear that like no, it's okay, it's a, it's a good movie, and I watched it and it had anxiety, like I was, I was anxious the whole way through. I wouldn't say that it's an overly terrifying movie, but it was. It had scary moments, it made me anxious, it made me uneasy, um so but some of the other werewolf movies I watched recently were um, ginger snaps, which was kind of a cutesy. It was a little dark but it was a cutesy um werewolf movie. It was not a good transformation scene. I still think that the best transformation scene comes from American werewolf in London from the eighties.

Speaker 2 47:33

It's I's when Jacob goes running and he's going to protect Bella and he just jumps over her and transforms dude. That shit was sick.

Speaker 1 47:43

So let me ask you guys Makes me all hot and bothered I'm wondering.

Speaker 2 47:51

I'm starting to feel some sort of way.

Speaker 3 47:52

How long have you liked dudes?

Speaker 2 47:55

Ever since Edward stopped that car.

Speaker 1 47:59

Ever since I've seen your forearms, they just do something for me. I don't know what to say. Okay well, you know.

Speaker 3 48:10

I'm way too egotistical to back that one off.

Speaker 2 48:13

I feel like we have to watch Twilight just to criticize it, because the fact that there's a scene where Edward stops a car they're supposed to be high school students and this car comes swerving towards Bella and Edward just slams it with his hand and creates a giant dent and stops the car and then he's like, oh no, I'm normal. As if he didn't just do that ultimate gas lighter bro like he straight up was just like no, you're crazy, anybody could do that.

Speaker 1 48:42

And then that sends her into a spiral. She and she freaking, finds out and she like goes with them into the woods, which is like not smart for a person. You don't know.

Speaker 2 48:51

And then he's not even a cool vampire he sparkles.

Speaker 3 48:55

I don't, and anything where they try to make a vampire. Have the feeling, have the capability of feeling something like love. You've lost me.

Speaker 2 49:09

Well, the fact that he could go in the sun, you lost me.

Speaker 3 49:12

Well, I mean mean, yeah, that that too blade. I think was pretty, what do you? Okay, so you guys know blade right so blade was. Blade was a day walker because he, his mom, was infected right before she went into labor with him so it wasn't fast enough for him to become a full-blown vampire, like he had all of the strengths, none of the weaknesses.

Speaker 3 49:34

That was the thing. Do you think that sets any kind of precedent for us in the zombie world where if a mom, a pregnant woman, is bit like right before she goes into labor, not like dawn of the dead where that woman was infected?

Speaker 4 49:49

for a long time, like the last of us. Yes, I was gonna say that do you think that would work?

Speaker 3 49:55

like is that? Is that a precedent? Are they setting a precedent with that?

Speaker 2 49:59

I could. I could totally see something in ellie's case where her mom was bit moments before being or before giving birth. I could see the virus potentially hitting the baby. But it was a fungus or well, yeah, the fungus hitting the baby but kind of integrating with her because it's it's. She's still growing, but I don't know. There's like a lot of science that I'm sure disagrees with that, but I don't know. I do.

Speaker 3 50:25

I do think that's very well, the science that agrees with it is mothers pass antibodies to their babies yeah, but you don't create antibodies for that.

Speaker 2 50:35

The fungus takes over you you do create antibodies.

Speaker 3 50:40

Even if your antibodies are not effective, your body still, if it can find the code and it says wait, I know what you are the problem in, like selenium or selenium from uh max brooks, is that your body finds the code right, gets the antibodies and then it changes. So it's changing way too fast. So but the antibody? Your body is creating antibodies, but it's not creating the right one in the right time and you will turn eventually because it's going to keep changing, your body's going to keep fighting and you're getting weaker, your immune system starting to break down, and then it stops maybe, ellie's case being that it was a fungus.

Speaker 2 51:24

Maybe that's why it was able to kind of work with her and and make her it kind of just froze in her brain. Yeah, like it. Just you get to see the brain scans and it's kind of just sitting there.

Speaker 3 51:36

It would, though, because in the way I like the way they did it in the Last of Us, and the reason why I liked it so much, is because a fungal transmission like that, a fungal growth in a human is Well in a mammal is super slow, so it would not go fast for any of these, any of these creatures, right?

Speaker 2 51:56

I think they later on they make them turn really quickly, but it's it's not the way it would happen they don't take like a week, but I think they take like maybe half a day a day yeah, that's way fast.

Speaker 1 52:08

Fungus is super slow bit and then it kind of it took her a minute yeah, change.

Speaker 2 52:15

You know well, she didn't even change before she blew herself up, right in the show oh wait, no test. What test was the one he shot in the garage right test was the one that um died via grenade?

Speaker 1 52:30

yeah, oh, okay, no yeah, in the show yeah, she was she was still good for a minute and then she wasn't even changing by the time that she blew all of them up yeah, and the and the game.

Speaker 2 52:43

It's pretty like slow, but like in the game she tried to shoot them right uh, it wasn't even in the game. It was people, military yeah.

Speaker 1 52:54

And then in the show it was the zombies.

Speaker 2 52:56

Yeah.

Speaker 3 52:58

Or infected Well so we've just completely diverted away from the thing. Sorry about that.

Speaker 1 53:03

I wanted to give you guys some we were talking about stuff that we'd like to you know do in future episodes. I would also like to point out that I did see um a quiet place day one what did you? Think great movie. Really I liked it okay. So what do you think?

Speaker 3 53:24

I heard one one uh reviewer tell me that it was um too much talking. Did you find that, or?

Speaker 1 53:33

I mean, the talking made sense. Plenty of action, though we're taught like, yeah, plenty of action. There's this one part in the movie spoiler warning everybody um, there's this one part in the movie where she drops a book and then thousands of them just right jumping out of buildings, freaking, running down the street and like so many of them running down the street at once, it like shakes all the buildings and everything. It's pretty crazy and you get to see like it's day one. You get to see where they came from. They came from space, they're aliens.

Speaker 1 54:14

Okay, so like you know, I think it was a good movie. I think it. I haven't seen the second one I need to watch the second one oh, it's really. I've seen the first one and then I've seen this one so I really like the first and second oh yeah, well and they're coming out with a game.

Speaker 2 54:30

It's fucking. Oh, are they oh?

Speaker 1 54:32

I'm so excited, quiet.

Speaker 2 54:33

Place.

Speaker 4 54:33

Game.

Speaker 2 54:34

John Krasinski fucking nailed it bro. I love that guy. Everything he does is really good, yeah, he's.

Speaker 1 54:43

What did he do, john Krasinski?

Speaker 2 54:46

is Jim from the Office. He was the dad in the first movie. He's also the director of the first and second movie.

Speaker 1 54:53

Director writer.

Speaker 2 54:54

I don't know if he's the director and writer of Day One.

Speaker 3 54:56

So that's why he looks familiar. Oh yeah, he's in a lot of shit now, dude.

Speaker 2 55:02

He's awesome. I fucking love John Christensen. Wow, cool dude.

Speaker 1 55:07

He's the director of the second one too.

Speaker 2 55:09

He has that joke where he said he went to Tsa and they, they were like, oh, what do you do? And he's like, oh, I'm an actor. And they're like, oh, yeah, do, are you? Would I know you from anything? And he goes oh, I, I don't know. Maybe he was like, oh, okay, he's like what. He's like where are you going? He's like I'm gonna go see my wife. They're like would I know her? Or what does she do? He's like, oh, she's an actor, an actress as well. And he goes what I know, emily blunt?

Speaker 3 55:35

he goes you it just means he's a successful uh movie, movie ear move it to your that guy's dope.

Speaker 2 55:50

He he made the a quiet place series and that shit is awesome.

Speaker 1 55:55

That is such a good apocalyptic world For day one. It's a different director.

Speaker 2 56:03

I can understand the more talking because you know that they're attracted to sound, but it's not like you're 100 days in, so it's still very new to you.

Speaker 1 56:14

It made sense with when they were talking. They were talking when it was raining really hard so they could whisper yeah, like the waterfall. From the first movie, you could be next to a waterfall and talk.

Speaker 2 56:29

Yeah. Eric, we didn't clap, we didn't clap, we didn't clap. Uh oh, let's clap now. We'll have to line it up at the end. 3, 2, 1. Beautiful, that'll be alright.

Speaker 1 56:46

I think the heat is making us delirious Because I am so hot and I know y'all are Stay alive, wait.

Speaker 2 56:52

No, sorry, tuer, because I am so hot, and I know y'all are Stay alive.

Speaker 1 56:57

Wait, no, sorry, tua, cut it right there.

Speaker 2 57:02

I kind of want to Okay.

Speaker 3 57:05

I gave my opinion. I'm not surviving this.

Speaker 2 57:09

Bro, I'm 100 pounds.

Speaker 3 57:11

I'm not surviving Antarctica.

Speaker 2 57:12

You're not surviving as soon as you get off the helicopter yeah, I'm not even going. I'm not surviving in Antarctica. You're not surviving. As soon as you get off the helicopter yeah, I'm not even going there. There's no way.

Speaker 1 57:16

I think that I am just crazy enough to I could survive the thing I feel like, but I will not survive once the station gets destroyed and whatever.

Speaker 4 57:30

Because what am?

Speaker 1 57:30

I going to do, unless I have knowledge and the ability to get to another outpost on in antarctica. You know, then what am I gonna do? So I think I can't survive the thing because I will be ruthless. I will, like I'll tie all you motherfuckers up in individual one by one.

Speaker 3 57:49

Yeah, we know you. Would you just tie us up and burn?

Speaker 2 57:53

us first. No, he'd shoot one of us in the leg to set an example. No, he wouldn't. Yeah, he would. That's what he would do in the mist.

Speaker 1 58:00

Hear me out. He's like don't listen to me I would shoot everybody in the big toe, Whoever turns into the thing. Then I'd burn them. That's one way to do it.

Speaker 3 58:11

You are horrific, you really are.
