Escape From New York

Just The Thing

Aug 22 2023 • 1 hr 13 mins

Chris and Joel start Season 3's Kurt Russell odyssey by discussing Escape From New York! And then putting The Thing into it.
A cult classic, and the first non-Thing John Carpenter film they've covered, featuring Russell's star-making performance as Snake Plissken,  not to forget Van Cleef, Borgnine, Pleasence, and Mr. Harry Dean Stanton!
Joel goes highbrow with some Greek mythology,  Chris adores Romero (the character, not the director), and they're both fascinated by the cultural significance of  'Chock Full o' Nuts'.
(Chris also likes Romero the director.)
