The Thing with comedian Jamie Allerton | The Pick of the Flicks Podcast #57

November 27, 2019 by Tom Beasley

On The Pick of the Flicks Podcast, a different guest drops in every week to chat about their favourite film. This week, comedian Jamie Allerton turns into a tentacle monster to discuss John Carpenter’s shape-shifting classic The Thing…

On this week’s episode of The Pick of the Flicks Podcast, stand-up comedian Jamie Allerton discusses his love for The Thing, in which Kurt Russell wears a silly hat and tries to decide which of his mates is actually a shape-shifting alien beastie. Just a normal day at the office. We chat about the ground-breaking practical effects, the lure of illicit horror viewing and the finer points of flamethrower safety.

SEE ALSO: Listen to last week’s episode in which comic Alexandra Haddow chats about Billy Elliot
