This week we'll of course be continuing our way through Seinfeld and Trek DS9 + TNG! As well, I got SOOOO many requests on YouTube to watch The Thing From Another World and I am SUPER curious how or if it is related to The Thing from the 80's so we'll give that one a whirl. Also we'll check out Tommy Boy cause a friend was talking about David Spade and I realized I haven't seen anything of his yet!

I also got a ton of requests on YT for Them! Anyone want to watch that one? I do love a monster movie and curious to see an older classic one!

It's a holiday in Canada today! I did a bit of work but then I planted some flowers, played with my animals, went out for sushi - all in all a great day! 🌞

Seems like there are lots of good movies coming out soon or this summer. What are you guys excited for?

THANK YOU for being here - I couldn't keep this all going without you and I love being here and chilling with you β™‘

Hope everyone has a great week! β™‘β™‘β™‘

xoxo

Jen β™‘

The Thing! Yass! Thank you, you're gonna love it. Rest of the week looks great too. Them! is another good one. 100k so close.

Top tier Trek week. Obvs we get the continuation of the continuation of the DS9 opener but Gambit fucking slaps also. It's low-key one I've been waiting for us to get to. I, for one, am hyped.

Danny Steele

The Thing from Another World was remade and reimagined as the Thing. They are based on the same novella β€œWho Goes There”. The Thing is closer to the novella than its predecessor. Definitely watch Them!

Starpartyguy

Looking forward to Cool Hand Luke. One of Paul Newman’s greatest performances

Drew

I'm a long-time fan of David Spade going back to his SNL days and especially from the sitcom "Just Shoot Me." "Tommy Boy" is a good starting point to see if you'll like him. Hope you enjoy it, Jen!

Love The Thing From Another World, which I enjoy every bit as much as the Carpenter version.

Banes

Never seen The Thing From Another World - that'll be fun. Tommy Boy! Absolute classic!

Geoff S.

Them is a classic monster movie that you'll enjoy and Just Shoot Me with Spade is one of my all time favorite sitcoms. Very clever and goofy at the same time. You would like Creature From the Black Lagoon too I believe. No spoilers but there is a creature in it! I'm so curious. What does a vegetarian order at a sushi restaurant?

πŸ‘€The Thing?!!!!πŸ₯°πŸ€― I just may cry in happiness...πŸ₯Ί πŸ₯³πŸŽŠπŸŽ‰πŸŽ―πŸ†πŸ’― THANK YOU for such a great gift!!!🎁 Now I'll have to check the site next to catch up and see if you've seen "Them" yet...or the classic "It The Terror From Beyond Space" the direct source of Ridley Scott's "Alien" movie. THANK YOU...for your effort to watch classic sci fi movies that some of us watched as kids on a Saturday morning after cartoons growing up.πŸ‘΄πŸΎπŸ₯°πŸ‘πŸΎ The Thing (1951) is such an iconic classic for me. As a 54 year old cinephile geekπŸ€“ I'm so happy right now.πŸ₯°πŸ˜Œ it's been such a pleasure to watch your reactions while trying to restrain myself from comments that might ruin things.πŸ€¦πŸΎβ€β™‚οΈ I'm so looking forward to the week!!!πŸ˜˜πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘πŸΎ

Jen, not only are you THE Seinfeld reactor, you have emerged as THE 50s sci-fi reactor! Love that you're literally hitting every classic 50s sci fi classic! I see people mentioning "Them", that's certainly another one in The Thing/Body Snatchers batch of 50s horror/sci-fis. Looking forward to The Thing!!! (No one called it The Thing From Another World. It wouldn't even be listed in the TV Guide like that! It would just be listed as "The Thing". That's why Carpenter called his movie "The Thing" and not "Who Goes There" (the source material's title) or something else. He even kept the font the same for the credits and the poster. I had a monster movie book someone gave me when I was, like, 6....and THAT listed it as "The Thing". Probably came from theatre owners shortening the title for the marquees, that's my guess. Love both Things.....they're so different as to be almost unrelated!

Jen Murray

Veggie tempura, spring rolls, edamame, avocado-cucumber-carrot maki, stir fry, rice, lots of stuff!

zynjams

the BLOB is a must see 1950s horror classic

Geoff S.

I would love that right now as a late night snack! 🍣 β™₯️

Geoff S.

I think Day of the Triffids would be a great watch too. Not to be confused with The Return of the Giant Hogweed however.

Toc

(Ha! Love the version from "Genesis Live" (1973) (love all those songs better on that live album, actually! One of the few instances!). I want to see Village Of The Damned!!!!!!

Toc

Hey, now you've got me thinking of other titles. Even just scanning down the page, I saw someone mention The Blob (1959) and Them. Both essential titles. Also: from early 60s: Village Of The Damned! Now THAT'S a great one! Goosebumps inducing! Village Of The Damned fans, speak up! lol. That's one that slips everyone's mind (including mine! Just thought of it!). I'll bet people say...."oh yeah, Village Of The Damned! Absolutely! " :D

DrJonasVenture

Good call on The Thing. It’s got that crackling Howard Hawks dialogue.

Noremac

Them! is an archetypical fifties monster movie. I enjoyed it a lot when I watched it. It is similar to War of the Worlds, except even more fun and campy. Tommy Boy is funny. Though after that you can pretty much close the door on David Spade and Chris Farley's careers! I haven't watch Thing from Another World yet. I tried once but I got annoyed everyone talked over each other. It's supposed to be quite good though, so I'll look forward to watching it with you.

Noremac

I just watch Village of the Damned! It is pretty good, I wouldn't mind seeing it again.

Toc

Right on! :D

Jackson Bross

Them is iconic but in the category of dumb, cheesy fun. The all time stupidest β€œbig animals” movie is Night of the Lepus. Giant bunnies are not, as it turns out, scary.

David Calvin

Them! really scared me as a kid and I've never forgotten it. I'd love to see that reaction.

Major Peril

Yes!! The Thing From Another World (1951) πŸ‘½, the OG of "The Thing” films. Looking forward to it! Once you finish this one, you might want to see The Thing (2011). Not a remake of Carpenter’s The Thing, but a prequel. Find out what happened to the Norwegians and what they found in that block of ice they recovered. πŸ‘€ Count me in for Them! (1954) 😁 One of the best of all the creature features of the time. Yes, cheesy in some parts, but far far better than the usual fare. It won the Golden Reel Award (Motion Picture Sound Editors) for Sound Editing that year and got an Oscar Nominee for Best Special Effects.

Arthur 'Two Sheds' Jackson

Love Tommy Boy, although i do prefer it's "unofficial" sequel, Black Sheep. The end credits song has been stuck in my head ever since I watched it back in 1996 πŸ˜†. Oh "The Couch" and "The Gymnast", good times, excited for Seinfeld NEXT week, I'm hoping it'll nudge you to watch certain movie πŸ˜‚

TigerMyth

I'm really enjoying the old sci-fi. I've never seen the original The Thing and I hadn't seen the original Invasion. Thanks for watching older movies.

Eric Janssen

Spoiler: No spider heads or multiheaded dogs in the 50’s Thing. Geez, grow up, horrorheads. We HATED the β€˜82 version when it came out. Once, and I mean IF, you can appreciate the 50’s Thing for what it is, it’s a dandy little piece of unironic 50’s scifi that tried for a little suspense.

Jason Scade

It looks like you'll reach 100K SUBS by this weekend, ma'am. Surely an event to celebrate? 🍻 πŸ’― 🎈🎈πŸ₯³πŸŽ‰ πŸ’― πŸ––πŸŽˆπŸŽˆ πŸ’― πŸ₯‚ Huge congratulations to you and much thanks and respect to your fab team of editors for all their *amazing* work. πŸ₯‚ 🍻 πŸ† And of course all the graft, grind, grift and mega effort you have put into the channels over the years. No doubt sacrificing lots and lots of you-time in the process. πŸ† 🌻 πŸ’œ πŸ€— Your baby is going to arrive to a 100K+ movie mom powerhouse. It's been as thrilling as a Bond journey. I'm very grateful to have been here for the ride. πŸ₯‚ Next stop 110K. πŸ˜„ Tout Prest. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaaXjHCNthI

Rob Nichols

I swear she was just one away a few minutes ago. But occasionally it'll just drop by 20-30, I guess the algorithm does a purge every now and then. I heard of someone who got unsubbed from his own channel, gotta be frustrating.

Jason Scade

Surreal! The Man Who Wasn't There. (except he was, it was his channel)

Rob Nichols

That made me think of The Man Who Never Was (1956), another great classic for Jen to check out.

Mike Hart

CONGRATS ON 100K! πŸŽ‰πŸ’―πŸ₯‚

John Armbruster

The Thing is my sci-fi Casablanca. Enjoy it for the rapid fire 40s style dialog and oddly on point use of rope.

Joe M

You realize you still haven’t seen the last Mission Impossible movie right??? And the new one hits theaters this week. Also you have not finished the John Wick story (John Wick 4). You have some catching up to do young lady πŸ˜‰. And also congratulations on the blessed event soon πŸΌπŸ’™

Harry S

Congrats on 100k! Yes watch Them! and The Thing. Any chance of watching a fantasy like The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad 1958?

Major Peril

Ooh, I like that idea. Maybe double billing with Jason and the Argonauts (1963). A Ray Harryhausen double-feature! 😁
