The Marathon: Child’s Play, Wraiths, and Other THING(s)

Help NinetyForChill: The #Podcast get away from paywalls by subscribing to "Ninety For Chill: The Podcast with CatBusRuss".

Andrew "Couchman Bakes" Tiede⁠ returns to the podcast to discuss a third feature about THE actor of every kid who was babysat by a VHS tape deck, ⁠Kurt Russell⁠. The challenge being, Kurt's movies tend to be too long to be discussed on this show. But never to disappoint the audience, ⁠CatBusRuss⁠ will allow "⁠John Carpenter's The Thing⁠" to be the primary topic. All the ⁠Couchman⁠ needs to do is come up with a horror movie marathon.

These "quadruple" features are based on two themes that can be taken from what maybe ⁠Carpenter⁠'s most influential feature: Who can you trust? What is the killer?

⁠CatBus⁠'s Six-Raven Cinema House offers up 1956's "⁠Invasion of the Body Snatchers⁠" and 2011's ⁠prequel to 1982's classic⁠ to address the first theme. As for the second, he revisited the so rad its good flick, "⁠The Wraith⁠" starring ⁠Charlie Sheen⁠.

At Andrew's Sasquatch Cinema House, the "Who" is addressed with a nerdier Elijah Woods versus aliens in "The Faculty". As for the what, how about the origins of Charles Lee Ray's after death adventures with 1988's "⁠Child's Play⁠"

There is obviously a film missing from the Tiede showcase. Can he make up for it with the theater's new massaging chairs? Russ thinks that maybe too distracting. Perhaps you need to be the judge.
