Episode Theme: Movies in Movies Wildcard: The Thing (1982)

The Fumblers are trapped in a world of paranoia and Antarctic temperatures. To keep themselves warm they fire up the tv and watch John Carpenter's The Thing from 1982. One of us reacts violently to fire and electrical shock and I think it might surprise you to find out who it is.
