271: John Carpenter's The Thing

First off, this episode was recorded before the passing of George Romero, and we both want to express our condolences to his family and friends and all the fans. Let's face it, Romero is the reason any of this is happening. TWD would not exist without him. We're so sad to hear of his passing, and we're thankful for his work.  We also want to give condolences to family, friends, and co-workers of Walking Dead stunt man John Bernecker who died in an accident on set last week. Our heart goes out to all you guys.  Now, The Thing. Neither Karen or Jason had seen this horror classic, and since so many of you excitedly suggested we cover it, we both hoped we'd like it. Listen in to find out if we did.
