345- THE THING with Peyson Rock

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but those people haven't met THE THING! Directed by the master of horror John Carpenter and starring Kurt Russell, Wilfred Brimley, Richard Masur, some dudes, a dog and a thing, the reception to this film was initially as warm as the Antarctic winds in January. Since, however, it has become one of Carpenters most iconic and beloved films. But how does it hold up in today's cold harsh light?Actor and self-described "Thingiac" Peyson Rock joins us to give it the old blood test! Listen here or subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or Stitcher.

Rewatchability is a comedic pop-culture nostalgia podcast hosted by J.M. McNab, Rob LaRonde, and Blain Watters. It is produced independently in Toronto, ON.The show began in the summer of 2011. In 2012 it was profiled by The A.V. Club and in 2015 our podcast appeared on CBC Radio’s Podcast Playlist. The aim of the show is to re-watch movies and television shows from when we were younger, and review them in an interesting and hopefully humourous way. Hopefully.Rewatchability contains coarse language and immature subject matter; our main goal is to be funny, so please don’t take anything too seriously… especially you Ghost Dad. Hosted on Acast.
