The Thing with Two Heads
MP3December 10, 2014
This week we’re watching the uncomfortable 1972 film, The Thing with Two Heads, Heads? Steve Carlson joins Paul & Chris to review this film labeled incorrectly as comedy, scifi and horror. Spoiler alert: it should just be labeled bad.
- This film is produced by Samuel Z. Arkoff who Chris confuses with Dr. Zarkov from Flash Gordon.
- Steve shares that 7 time, Oscar winning make up artist, Rick Baker was the man in the 2-headed gorilla costume.
- Paul is reminded of Tropic Thunder when he hears the racist doctor in the film say, “you people.”
- They need a brain dead patient in the film. Too bad they couldn’t break the 4th wall and choose one of us audience members.
- Rosie Grier gets his own death march disco.
- One of the prisoners makes Chris think of his favorite Dolemite character, the creeper.
- We all agree the best line in the film, “Do you have two of anything else?”
- Paul, Chris and Steve recast the film for a remake. Will Smith & Mark Walberg, Chris Rock & Phil Robertson, Jamie Foxx & Jon Lovitz and a few others.
- Scroll down the Wikipedia page and learn The Arkoff formula for successful films.
- Suggested films Critters and Planet of the Apes.
Thanks again to Steve for joining us!
