I really hate critics. They’ve killed the earnings of way too many films.

Critics are basically disabled citizens anyone could do what they do and likely audiences would appreciate a laymens experience rather than a high filutent critic.
Basically journalists and critics take themselves way too seriously because 100 years ago when literacy was low you were actually seen as quite comendable and intelligent if you could write, now, not so much so these people are just trying to gain respect without doing anything to earn it.
Basically the reason nobody reads news or video game news media.

The Thing would not have succeeded financially even if critics didn't hate it.


Which futurama thing looking episode was that?! Bender eating Amy lmfao


this video was up for less time the the thing movie runtime


WOW those inital reviews of The Thing were complete horse shit!! Did we even watch the same movie?


I had two main issues with that movie: the dialogs which sound like characters are shouting accross a footbal field even when they are inside and a few meters apart, and the fact that the contamination followed no rule nor logic. I would have loved a movie where you try to piece out together who got it and who doesn't, and then sometimes you guessed wrong but every contamination can be explained by what you see on screen. In the Thing, it felt like people would just get it at random, which didn't feel like it made sense.


Dude, stop trend hopping. Eeeeveerrrryoone's talking about The Thing now. We don't need you on the bandwagon too.

Request: review why Klayworld is a gem of youtube


What song is playing at around 15:48 ? I've been struggling to find it after looking in the EmpLemon OST and coming up empty handed.

@Coob it’s called “something wicked” by ross bugden


manscaped tries way too hard to be vulgar. It was cute at first but now it's just a transparent marketing ploy.


god that serious review of the thing's tones was ruined by a fucking among us reference to the point of me skipping 10 seconds ahead and saying "Fuck off."

@UB I hate it because it shows how you can rip the concept from something that's already been done and completely overshadow it (aka ss13)

I'm pretty sure Among Us was inspired by The Thing, it kinda sounds like you just hate it because it's super popular right now.


7:19 auto-subtitles really thought he said "donut"??


Here to support the vid and give a middle finger to GoogleTube


What happened to this video? Was it DMCA'd or something?


damn can't watch now. i'm 30 years old and still haven't seen it. i'll be back in 3 hours or so.


OMG the fucking video was about Among Us the whole time!


So, I could've sworn I saw this video say it was taken down earlier. Either from copyright infringement or violating TOS.


I could watch it the first time when it was removed

Seeing some of the issues that happened in the 80s is not very unlike right now

Since we're struggling with a pandemic, political unrest, and other issues surrounding social justice, it does bother me to see just how a generation can glorify a generation and mask the heinous faults.

I admit that I've had that same mentality, so I'm not cutting myself slack over this

Never had a bell notif fail me. Had to go to your channel to watch this.


I refuse to belive this was published 8 months ago


I was in the middle of watching this Tuesday night when the video went black and said it violated yt terms of service, wth happened


some of the shots of the aliens give me nausea


You said a lot of buzzwords that YouTube usually censors. Sad that more people won’t be able to see this video


Whatever the thumbnail preview is called,<br>Bravo!

We must comment spam to the developers of Dead by Daylight on YT to make The Thing another addition to the killer selection! 🙏


Sorry that YouTube decided to take this video down the first hour it was genuinely out


Was this removed from YouTube and then restored? I swear it was.


Is it me or was thing video taken down for violation of terms of service the same day it was uploaded?


Kinda gassed I never got a notification for this tbh


10:55 I legit got a monster ad after you said monster
Nice


aye yo it's back! I knew YouTubers wasn't that much dumb. oh wait.           demonitization impacting YouTubers and destroying their careers: me: never mind they might be still dumb.


the hell happened getting it down then back up?


Windows sus, I think I saw him sabotage blood bags...


Who else was watching anime and then this thing popped up


I figured the video would be taken down by Universal


Not to be an asshole or anything, but the film critics who panned the film.... have something in common.


Is it just me or did YT algorithem rape this video again?


Yo I was watching on the toilet, then paused to wipe my ass. After I was done the video was gone! Good to see it's back up.


cant believe this got taken down youtube is trash


what is this doing in an MF doom rip playlist


7:12 , the concept of self defence, more alien than The Thing.


WHEN WILL DOWNWARD SPIRAL BRING US FRYING DORY???

jk


Curses, all these people mentioning Trouble in Terrorist Town and Among Us, my boy Unfortunate Spacemen getting no love despite being a first person Among Us sort of.


For me there is no age limitation poping up


Thank god it's back. Is it caused by bots?


Youtube done fucking with this video? Finally found it


Did this video just become available again?!?

Nope your watching a mental manifestation of what the video was in your dreams and the comments from several months ago aren't real


A scruffy said in his Five Nights at Freddy's video. The absence of action and information can really help drive someone to the edge.


If you’re intressted you should make a video on group b rally


could you tell who to vote vote for the next years?


Please pleasssse someone tell me the music on 15:47
Thank you :3


fucking hell macready killed clark in self defense


It is age restricted for mentioning coronovirus


This wasn't in my sub feed. First time this has ever happened to me.


Oh my GOD which MF DOOM song is this its on the tip of my fucking tongue @20:17
EDIT: Rap Stitch Kniches off Mm Food


Sorry Emp, this is probably one of your worst video yet. Feels like you don't have a grasp on the source that well and circles around the point a lot.

You can do better though, it's fine.


My man i thiught you were about to bust out a poem at the start, what a dissapointment.


Weird I never got a notification for this and it's not in my subscription section on youtube


I tried to change my name but It didn't Work


Blaire just didn't want to succumb to his diabetes.


youtube got afraid that the thing was this video


Hey it's back! But the video doesn't feel the same(?)


0:06 I never revisit or watch those type of movies, i find the boring as shit.


No offense but are you really making a video essay on The Thing and you just called it a "virus" in the first 20 seconds? Nope.

Pretty sure he wasnt speaking literally and only in to force the comparison to covid.


Idk about the AIDS themes, the source material is from the 30's...


I assume this is the same video that didn't upload the other day?


15:45
 Be me in a yt comment thread
 Hear this music and smile to myself while holding my moist nugget innawoods....


Dude, I didn't get this in my sub box. wtf


It got flagged because you said virus so many times


I thought the thumbnail was homeless forsen


hmm... I guess eating this spaghetti will wait.


This video was actually taken down for "violating YouTube's Community Guidelines." a few hours after it was uploaded, but now it's back up, and Age-restricted.


11:46 jfc it's 2020 and people still say this is the worst thing to ever happen lmao okay


9:45 Как забавно видеть русские надписи в западных роликах...

omg i love kino kino daddy kino sexy so smart so handsome so kiiinnnoooo oh my gosh my kino


F you Youtube for flagging this video for inappropriate .


Self defense is not murder dummy. Clark was going to stab him.


That also caused the video game fall of 1985


I think you are a Michael Jackson fan... 🤔❣👁👁


Try not to make Among Us jokes challenge


is emp a breadtuber or something wheres he going with this


Yo, Empie, when I click on an EmpLemon video is because I want to watch Emp Lemon, not whoever the fuck "The Kino Corner" is.

Movie was more good idea than good execution, sans the effects. I couldn't care less who died because I couldn't care less about the characters. Ultimately I agree with Ebert.

It just was packaged in a "cooler" way.<br>And emp's excuse for the lack of characters is just that, an excuse. You can do an allegory WHILE having good characters.

Great video (but where's the Star_ video)


he goes and picks up the video games protagonist in a chopper


this movie predicted social distancing and among us

He didn't murder him, though. The guy was about to literally stab him in the back. That's about as definitive a case of self defense as you can get.


At 15:00, I feel like it should be mentioned that the framing of this shot mirrors exactly what you say about the uncertainty. The flare being held provides a second source of light apart from the ambient lighting. Encompassing the noose is a cool, blue shade that shows that something was going on that only a human could experience. It also makes the noose appear even more sad in the position it lies at. There was genuine sorrow when it was tied and set up. But Blair is in a more aggressive red. It feels less somber, and it makes sense since he's acting completely inconspicuous. Eating, asking to be let back out. But there's something off about that behavior. The contrast in frame between the ignorance of the noose and the clashing between a cold blue and a harsh red. It's absolutely masterful if not unintentional.


Love you Lemon, you are truly a diamond in the mess that is current youtube, wish more channels were like you


i never get tired of emplemon's content<br>he just has something about him that makes everything interesting

Bruh, last week this movie was on TV, then I watched with a streamer in a watch-along, and now I'm obsessed with it and now emp is talking about it. I love it.


One of the best channels out there. It's refreshing to see a variety channel in 2020 that isn't utter trash.


I'm glad someone acknowledges the greatness of this masterpiece and is able to enlighten other people about how this is the pinnacle of a psychological horror film.


The Thing taught me that the only person I can truly trust is Kurt Russell. <br>Emp your channel continues to amaze me with the sheer variety of topics you give the attention they deserve.

EmpLemon you're one of the few youtubers left that I feel still has soul, good on you for pursuing what you wanted to do with your life instead of playing it safe.


Oh my God I can't believe you actually did a video on my favorite horror movie. You just know what I like to watch, Emplemon.


Hey Emp, good to see you're still kicking after all the nonsense bs of YouTube and Covid. Great video as always. 👍


This video really made me understand what people see in the thing, unfortunately I was never able to watch it<br>Thank you for making this video, this is by far my favourite in your entire channel

I never expected EmpLemon to cover a horror film, but man, am I glad he did.


I just watched this two days ago and loved it. You cant believe how weird it is that you just made this video. <3


The absolute Zenith of my day. Thanks Emp!


Even the creator of the 1950's version of The Thing hated this movie. Little did he realize that years later, John Carpenter's version would overshadow his to the point that not many people are aware of the 1950's version.


After last episode being a miss off of title alone, it's glad to see Emp back to hitting the marks.


Just what I needed before I go to bed.  An existential crisis!

Great work on the vid, Emp!


There was a really interesting story written by Peter Watts from the perspective(s) of The Thing.  While it's by no means official, I thought it was such a unique personal interpretation.  I love how it ties into the ambiguity of the story.  http://clarkesworldmagazine.com/watts_01_10/


Also being paranoid of subversive ideology is perfectly reasonable, unless you are a fence sitter Emp who sees no reason to fight for good even if means doing harsh things.


My dad showed me this movie when I was 10. It’s been my favorite ever since. Any time me and the lads have a movie night, I always beg and plead we watch it since most of them haven’t. Whenever I convince one to watch it themself they always say the fuckin love it as well


The best documentary creator on youtube talking about my favorite Sc-Fi horror film. Awsome!


Just watched this movie for the first time a week ago It blew me away.


Wonderful video, but that darnedest manscaped add got me out the wonderful groove EmpLemon got me into! Love the vod regardless. Make more shiz like this, i love your work even if what you make is controversial. Keep subverting the world we live in!


My favorite YouTuber covering my favorite horror movie? Hell yeah


Holy shit, you could take this commentary and apply it to almost any game of among us and it works. Its almost amazing.


Currently hyperfixating on this film. Thanks, Emp :]


So there was an old Starcraft 1 custom game called "The Thing" that had identical mechanics to Among Us. I  wonder if the creators of Among Us got inspiration from that map, in turn being indirectly inspired by the movie


EMP nice attention to detail by having the text use John Carpenter’s signature font Albertus. Love your stuff man you’re an inspiration for content creators and I love watching your videos brother. Keep up the great work


Watching one of my fav youtuber cover my fav film of all time, what a wonderful day!


Lets say this, you and another fellow are the only survivors of the thing´s carnage partially caused by your distrust. and to check you think to scare the crewmate to see if it will react in an animalistic way, but if you do the crewmate will think you are infected and will shoot you with no remorse, so either way you are doomed to never know if he really is the thing or if you are.


I just rewatched this with my brother! Incredible timing lol.


The Thing has had a tiny surge in popularity due to it being both Halloween and the popularity of Among Us. Glad to see it get the recognition it deserves.


A film so disgusting only Wilfred Brimley could actually stomach the special effects on set. "Look it up it's true, only he could actually be near it's gory special effects and not retch." Giving birth to animals in his youth gave that man a constitution of steel. RIP you legend.


The thing is literally the best movie ever


Watching this before I go to bed, I really love it so far.


Watched it for the first time a week ago, and had to watch it again the other day because i loved it so much and needed to rewatch the imposters were.


The initial wave of negative feedback from critics is yet another in a long list of examples of critics not knowing what the fuck they’re talking about.


Congratulations on being among the 2% of YouTubers that pronounced Rob Bottin's name correctly.


I have never seen The Thing because it is so hard to even have a chance to see it where i live, but this video really got me curious...


Everytime you throw a Klay World clip into a video it reminds me of being in elementary school and finding that show to be the funniest thing ever.


Goddamnit, now you got me wondering what The Thing would be like with that Goosebumps theme played throughout


Never thought I’d want to see this, but I love this


And when the world needed him most, he returned


It’s a good day when emp posts a new video


I was pretty meh about ET. Saw The Thing later on VHS and liked it a lot. There was a sequel and a video game too.


Best commentary on this movie I've seen since Red Letter Media.


emp lemon movie reviews is what ive been waiting for


Finally some good fucking content. Thank you Emp.


Hey! It's a review of my favorite horror movie by my favorite directionally downspiralling individual!


They live, as well as another great John Carpenter movie. If you want to talk about prophetic too, that shit was way ahead of its time in depicting how humans can be manipulated by mass media and institutions of power.


I watched this movie when I was like 11 and I couldn't sleep for like a month, one night I could've sworn that my cats were going to kill me.


I know you gentlemen have been through a lot... but when you find the time, I'd rather not spend the rest of this winter-

TIED TO THIS FUCKING COUCH!

I know you gentlemen have been through a lot... but when you find the time, I'd rather not spend the rest of this winter-

So, you're saying that critics can be incredibly wrong? Who woulda thunk it?


Quarantine and among us becoming popular, this year is just The Thing themed.


I swear I literally will just think about something I haven't thought about in years and someone I follow will post a video on it the next day.


Well shit I never expected to see this wonderful thing.


Ah, The thing. The first ever among us match.


You're like the pop culture detective now


This channel is one the best things on YT rn


I knew what I would hear but I am here watching it anyway because I like his voice.


It amazes me how many Simpsons clips you can find that directly relate to what you’re talking about.


Could've gone with Alien Isolation but this good too


Well this video certainly explains Twitter over the past 3 years


Any other looks at Carpenter's works down the line? I mean, one of them kind of fits the spirit of Halloween since it was really spooky, but, mmm, now I can't think of the title...hmmmmm...


Jerma releases his thing edit and emp releases this in one week? Yeah right buddy get in the chair.


The Thing, where everyone is actually smart and not stupidly split their group so the monster can maul them to death.


15:19 never thought the downward spiral would make a cameo here


Glad this is back. Will watch again later.


Dude that Simpsons flip of Madlibs song is amazing XD


YouTube being in a downward spiral™ once again. I'm just glad that this video is back so that I may watch it as much as I like.


I fucking love that you made a vid on this movie I fucking love this movie


I'm starting to think that SMT Strange Journey took inspiration from this movie.


I'm glad boobtoob put this been up, I was pissed when it was pulled right when I wanted to sit down to watch it


This didn't show up in my sub feed and then had a warning before I opened it. Unreal shadow banning, I don't even get those notifications on channels that  cover horror movies (like Dead Meat).


Nah man The Thing wins in the end. There was an imposter remaining


Life is unfair, but lgbt has way lot more chances of being REDACTED with REDACTED, it wasnt unfair.


Was just about to rewatch this movie in the next few minutes.


This movie is trully ahead of it's time. Now people are playing Among us in the middle of a pandemic.


A fair comparison to make in a world which has embraced division and paranoia.....


Paranoid about the aftermath of the election is getting to you eh? JK! Great video Emp!

(reference to the Trash Rat podcast)


Gotta like that Klay World clip at the end lmao


Damn, youtube had to confirm with me I actually wanted to see this video


Oooh i was gonna stream this, this halloween with boys


Glad the vid is back! Now I can watch it


YES! Youtube didn't completely kill the video 😃


18:30 IT'S BEEN SO LONG SINCE I'VE SEEN CLAYWORLD. THAT WAS MY JAM IN 3RD GRADE


Sorry for all the hooha with Tube, but I'd love more movie reviews


For the record Blade Runner's Box office was 41 million


Okay, I literally just watched this movie like 2 days ago or so. What the fuck? I keep seeing people talk about this movie out of fucking NOWHERE.


And to think this channel use to be YTPs.


6:59 What is this picture from? Another movie? I'm interested.

It's Plato's Allegory of the Cave. Literally the single most ancient and iconic thought experiment in history.


James A. Janice would be so proud right about now


Susan censoring another great channel like usual.


Bruh I just watched this for the first time and finished 5 minutes ago.<br>Niceu on the video upload speed.

do people really find jaws a horror movie?


Glad you got your appeal approved to get this backup. Stupid shit from YT


You made some big statements about Trump my dude, and I'm here for it <3


what the... I can't even watch it after I confirm that I WANT TO WATCH the video, looks like demontizon is back at work again


Apparently this video is age restricted.


what was the song that simpson was screaming?


All the real early birds watched it before it got removed than age restricted


Wasn't there a version of this vid that got taken down for ToS?


Any time The Thing is brought up I gotta tell people to check out Unfortunate Spacemen at NotAmong.us


How many clips from The Wall are you going to use before you just make there will Never Ever be another band like Pink Floyd


What about this was against terms and conditions? Copyright strikes?


OH YAH A NEW VIDEO YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS


Yeah YouTube didn't like this video because it's not about politics, lootboxes, a famous youtuber, or a cartoon about spiderman jumping off a toilet to rape Elsa


Why is the l4d1 song so oddly fitting...


So can you upload that homer ytpmv towards the end?


So... is Donald Trump or Joe Biden the impostor? I thought you’d follow up with political videos from 2016 in the election videos description.


Striked legitimately within 10 minutes of uploading


If you guys want a game like among us but better and even more like the thing go check out out Unfortunate Space on steam for Free


This video still isn't in my notifications wtf


aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, thank you emp


the guy emp had on in the beginning has really annoying inflections


Why is quinton reviews in your thumbnail


Commenting to improve video engagement lmao

@*FlowThruInstrumentalZ* yeah unfortunately. I didn't notice it was age-restricter until I commented lol

Some people love fortnight so what do people know wassgood anymore


I love this movie. One of my absolute favorites for the practical effects and the mystery.

And I love you for posting this for Halloween. You certainly appeal to many niches, Emp.

And I fucking knew Among us would be swiftly mentioned 😂


I've been so into The Thing over the last couple of weeks, this upload couldn't have been timed any better for me personally.

Can't wait to get through this.

Same. The Thing is literally my favorite horror movie


I have to say I’ve been a sub for a while and I love where you’ve come to as a channel, every passion project of yours is very well written and the editing, analysis, and humor are even better. Thanks for making such awesome congent


Dude this is too good of a matchup: this channel and this movie is a killer combo!


Dude, your content always fascinated me, it made me think about and find interest in topics I had literally 0 concept of or interest prior. But, the The Thing is one of my favorite horror movies of all time, so I nearly fell over when I saw this in my subscription list.


You're one of the best Youtubers I know. Your documentaries could easily be put on Netflix and paid for. I love it


Great video, its good how you are expanding to other topics while still making quality content.


Amazing movie and not enough good things can be said about John Carpenter's The Thing. My favorite movie and excellent video Mr. EmpLemon


The real enemy in the movie isnt the thing itself but the paranoia among the group that one of them could be a thing but they dont know who, one of my favorite movies all time 10/10 - a masterpiece


You know it’s gonna be a good day when Emp drops something new.


Easily my favorite horror movie ever, no question about it.


This movie has a special place in my heart. I absolutely hated horror movies as a kid, but one day when I was like 13, my dad basically went, “Son, it’s time to show you The Ways,” and he used this and Alien as my official introduction to horror.

Obviously, I hated it. That shit gave me nightmares for like a week.
But as I got used to scares, and saw how cheap and stupid most horror movies are, I realized just how good this one is. It's one of the very few that's not only genuinely frightening, but smart as well. There’s no cheap jump scares, no brain-dead chicks, no catering to angsty teens with shitty edgelord music or teen drama; and most importantly, there's not a single moment that makes you go, "Wtf are you doing!?!? Run that way!!!"
It's just a bunch of grown men doing their damndest to survive. Every action they make- even their mistakes- makes sense, and is is what any normal person would do. The threat of The Thing is constantly looming in the air, and the music is just so iconically good.
 Hearing the main theme makes me feel so nostalgic.
I absolutely love this movie; it’s so much fun to rewatch over and over, and it will always be my all-time favorite in horror.

The only creator whose shilling I'll watch on every single rewatch. Thanks for the great content, Emp.


I can watch this movie with my eyes closed and go to sleeep.... the narration and acting is on point all the way through, painting the perfect picture in my mind as I lay with my eyes closed... perfection.


Honestly, you sound far more happy with types of content like this.


This is one of those channels that deserves way more subscribers than what it currently has. And I think all of us here know that.


The Thing was possibly the inspiration for Among us. the Imposter (or imposters) killing the regular crewmates through differing methods, one being the stomach mouth shooting a spike like tongue through the head of the crewmates.

I know it's speculation however, it would be extremely cool to find out it's true.


I just watched this movie for the first time a week ago, it holds up so damn well.


7:32 - 7:54

I feel that's pretty exaggerated*. Sure, you can find a lot of historical examples of people turning on one another during a panic. But you could also find a lot of examples of people cooperating and being civil during times of distress. It entirely depends on the situation at hand. In the movie, the threat is new and not understood. This leads to the group turning on one another and developing mistrust. Drawing parallels to 2020, sure there were people punching one another for toilet paper and dumbasses not wearing masks. But there are also a lot of sane, rational, level-headed individuals who don't endanger people's lives. Negativity bias is a really strong thing when left unchecked.

Aside from that, great video. The movie is really good and it's a shame it didn't get the reception it deserved back then.


Crazy I just watched this movie a week ago and now I see a ton of new The Thing vids from a lot of creators I like. Seems Covid and the riots got everyone thinking about the same Thing.


I like this side of emp lemon. The whining about how things were better in the past gets old, and it's refreshing to see him do a deep dive into the subtext of things and find his own meaning of media from that.


I've been here since the YTP days and I love the way your channel is going <br>Keep it up brother🗿

I've been here since the YTP days and I love the way your channel is going

This has to be my second favorite breakdown of the Thing right behind Ryan Hollinger’s video


Haven't watched yet but gonna say this is one of the best and most rewatchable movies of all time.


Just watched the Thing for the first time and loved it, then you drop this days later. Perfect timing.


This is one of my favorite movies. Thank you for making this


Ahhh yesss, The Thing needs so much more appreciation thank you for this vid


I love this channel because I have no Idea what you're gonna upload next but I always know it's gonna be well worth my time.


Emplemon could make a video about literally anything and i would watch it.😁


Now that emp has talked about a movie and videogames in his previous video, I would like to see him talk about anything having to do with music such as the analysis of a music album or a song in specific.


Yo why the heck is this age restricted? Also props to you for covering one of my favorite horror movies


Holy cow, I love your normal content regardless of what it's about but when my fav people cover topics I adore it's  just <b>chefs kiss</b> "perfecto"

Holy cow, I love your normal content regardless of what it's about but when my fav people cover topics I adore it's  just *chefs kiss* "perfecto"


The video is a banger. I have to admit that when I saw the thumbnail, I postponed watching the video and really I just watched it because I know that empLemon gives quality content


I watched this movie for the first time a month and half ago. Yep, it's time for a rewatch. Now on to the video


Yay it's back up! I thought Emp had to completely scrap it within an hour of release.


I was marathoning your content when you uploaded this. Now I gotta start all over


Been binging The Thing videos for the past two days, only for you to go and upload a Thing video. This is a sign for SOMETHING.


Oh hell yes this movie can never get enough praise


I don't know how it's possible that a youtuber changes this much and still manage to be this kino.


I love this movie and your style of video is perfect together


God, i love this movie! Most badass fade to black ending.


The best common aspect across all the best works of horror is horror we cannot escape from and is something intrinsically human for us. A lot of early horror films, like Frankenstein, showcases man's making of monsters, in some form of benevolent scientific pursuit. Invasion of the Body Snatchers and The Thing all showcase human fear of those they need to be faith in. Its something you can't be certain of, because there is a risk of being betrayed, leaving you dead. Its a paradox of something where there is no answer for.


This is amazing, because I watched the Thing for the first time two days ago 😆


Bro, why is The Thing suddenly blowing up. Just last month, i binge watched a bunch of thing theory videos. And now, it seems The Thing is suddenly getting the spotlight

I have a far fetched theory. When I first saw Among Us I saw the monster looking kill animation and thought "Oh it's like The Thing". I could imagine some other people thought the same and started some conversations where someone has to explain what that is, and as result cause more people to talk about it.


This is the movie that got me into psychological thrillers


Even with the thing you still managed to sneak in a simpsons clip


This is on my Halloween list for a reason.


Nobody knew how good they've had it been, until they no longer scared of horror movies.


This is a good thing to watch on the roof of my house at night


I am a simple man, I see The Thing, I click. By the way...when will they give us a GOOD GAME of this franchise ? Like an Among Us on steroid, or an Alien Isolation. I start to think that people dislike easy money.


I literally watched this yesterday for the first wtf you’re such a chad 🥰


ET, The Thing and Xtro all were great alien movies that came around the same time <br>Sadly, only ET is remembered since it’s family friendly.  Only true men know about the Thing and Xtro

Sadly, only ET is remembered since it’s family friendly.  Only true men know about the Thing and Xtro


Can I take a moment to say that fucking dog is incredible in the movie. I have never seen a dog act that way, the way it pauses at the doorways walking down the hall. It's so unnatural and unsettling and is perfect at building the tension. You know something's up with it, but at that point in the movie, you're not sure what... I'm convinced the dog was an actual alien.


This is all so great the comments are so positive! I'll leave another after watching. I was excited to see since it was taken down before.


Life may be bad, but it can always be a little better with an Emplemon upload


Can't believe they made a movie based on "Among Us," that's so cool


I have never found your channel till today, Love this video, and def subbing!


I just watched The Thing last night you have perfect timing


Definitely was NOT expecting Klay World. This is truly the best channel on this website.


Carpenter's In the Mouth of Madness is his last great film. I would like to see some sort of review idk.


I legit just watched this movie for the first time this Saturday haha


YESSSSS!!!! THIS IS MY FAVORITE MOVIE EVER!!!!!!


My favorite channel, talking about my favorite movie. What a day


Can we expect an  ''there will Never Ever be another streamer like Jerma985'' soon?<br>Jokes aside, excelente video as always

Can we expect an  ''there will Never Ever be another streamer like Jerma985'' soon?
Jokes aside, excelente video as always


It's back! I pulled this up to watch earlier and saw it was taken down for a Terms of Service violation. Glad it got fixed!


Still waiting for Emp to do another documentary video on Team Fortress 2


Watching this while high is one hell of an experience


Favorite YouTuber talkin about my all time favorite alien flick?! Today is gonna be a good day


Boy am I glad i saw this movie this year


Today is a good day, Emplemon blessed us with a video today


Rob Bottin has an interesting story himself, he just disappeared. To this day his whereabouts are still unknown.

@LegendaryMarston i just did some searching. There are persistent rumours he’s a real estate agent nowadays but there is nothing solid on that. He’s been retired from the movie business since the late 90s, but his last confirmed credit was for a short movie called Cindy’s Boyfriend in 2013 (which he did as a favor to the director). Theres also claims he worked on a Game of Thrones episode in 2014, but no confirmation. He lives in Covina, CA on the outskirts of Los Angeles. He evidently values his privacy a lot and has zero media presence.

@omegastar19 Oh thank god, I thought he might of been killed or something.

@LegendaryMarston that is incorrect. While it is true that he is very reclusive, I am pretty sure he simply retired, moved on to a different field of work, and refused to stay in contact with any form of media.


Why on earth was this taken down for a short time by YouTube? There's absolutely nothing wrong with this video as far as I can tell

pictures of nazi’s. it’s stupid, but i’m almost positive that’s why.


Happened to watch this movie for the 4th time just yesterday


Moral of the story: E.T. was pretty good in 1982


This movie kind of reminds me of among us


my favorite movie with (one of) my favorite YouTubers?? hell yeah


I'm not afraid of any man... but... that <b>Thing 1982 HD Blu-Ray release</b> ... it scares me

I'm not afraid of any man... but... that *Thing 1982 HD Blu-Ray release* ... it scares me


I'm glad this video is back so I can now view it, but the age restriction perplexes me.


i dont think ive ever seen an analysis be so utterly wrong on its way to reaching the right conclusion lmao. you almost sound like youre rooting for the thing at some points dude


What if 'The Thing' came out today:<br>"Palmer was a Thing. (1 Thing remains)"

What if 'The Thing' came out today:
"Palmer was a Thing. (1 Thing remains)"


I’m shocked that this actually showed up in my sub box. Normally I have to search for your vids. Pleasant surprise for sure


Turns out we're the thing in isolation all belong


Wtf, I saw this movie just 2 weeks ago. I swear you must follow me around or something because you uploaded that video about Hungrybox just after I got into Smash and now you upload a video about a pretty specific cheesy movie that I had just watched recently.

I can't complain though, I would be watching this video even if I hadn't seen the movie and this way I won't have it spoiled


Cosmic Coincidence or just timing? I just watched the movie today and Youtube just put this video on my recommendations lol(also I just subscribed, good stuff)


I SWEAR TO GOD EMP IT HAD A HOLD OF HIM!
ad revenue busts out window

I SWEAR TO GOD EMP IT HAD A HOLD OF HIM!
*ad revenue busts out window*


I recommend the Poz Button's discussion on this too.


And it's back but age-restricted. At least it's something for now =-/


tfw your favorite youtuber makes a video on your favorite horror movie, wholesomesauce!!


i love the little klay world bit at the end. you should do a video on klay world.


Glad this was back, was sad to see YouTube pull a YouTube and take it down earlier


10:00 that left 4 dead music hit me hard, man


Does anyone know where the clip at 12:25 is from? It turns up constantly in Emp's videos yet it's driving me mad as to where it came from.


ifyou want game where you play as the Thing . try Unfortuate spacemen .


yeah well this video was good and all,  but when you find the time, I'd rather not spend the rest of this winter TIED TO THIS FUCKING COUCH!


watching this in my downward spiral hoodie


Aaaaaand there's the video watched, now to go back into hibernation until he releases another video 6 months later


My favorite YouTube does a video on my favorite horror movie The Thing. Good day today.

Pine Glo Kitchen & Bathroom Disinfectant


I went vegan after seeing those grotesque props


Do an analysis video about "Mad Men" please.


And then the 2011 film came out and ruined everything with terrible effects and characters, because the studio high ups had to intervene at the last second..


You failed to mention the best part of this or any other Carpenter movie.  The music.<br>SAD

You failed to mention the best part of this or any other Carpenter movie.  The music.
SAD


I liked for the green text skinwalker youtube video music
Then I liked again for the Knox's Korner add in
Keep it up


i mean i may have online classes, but then again emplemon uploaded... dont tell my mom


I thought this violated YouTube terms of service?


EMP! Please stop posting videos about media right after i watch it, you're scaring me.


Ok, why is everyone talking about The Thing nowadays?


15:50 anybody know the name of this song?


KLAY WORLD LMAO the memories....Im the murderer lol


Ah another klay world reference we like that


9:10 That's the 2004 presidential election results map.


john carpenters music tho (carpenter brut)


among us

edit: dude do I heAR NEW SUPER MARIO BROS MUSIC?!


DUDE AS IF YOU COULDNT GET ANY BETTER WTF!!!!


Yo why was this video deleted for a few hours i came back to watch it again earlier today and found it was deleted now it’s back again what happened?!?!

He said on twitter it was Youtube who took it down. Thankfully he managed to contact them and get it back up quickly.


The thing is a great movie but I thought this was one of the weakest videos I've seen from you. The crossover with Kino Corner was especially grating, stale, and uninteresting. "The Making Of The Thing" is just a better use of time, and re watching The Thing itself is more entertaining. To date this is the first and only time I've not been able to watch one of your essays all the way through. Sorry dude, I normally like you too.


the ring shows up instead of ringu. Fucking hell google.


Anyone else first show up when the video was terminated?


The thing isn't a virus. It is a highly intelligent alien organism. "Can you even trust yourself." Yes, because if you are assimilated by the thing, you are dead, the thing devours its victim and grows the victim out of its own mass.

@Niko Also, calling it devalues the fact that it is a highly evolved, highly developed animal, that can mimic other animals so that it can survive in a verity of environments.

Yes calling it a virus would imply that it's non living but it is very much living even moreso than a normal cell is living


Hay this comment will probably go unoticed but I saw this in my recommended, after you said the video wasn’t being shown by YouTube


Dude, you showed Trump and Hitler in your vid and didn't said they are SUPET bad?? That is your 200% reason, why this vid has so much troubles.... I'm not kidding...


I'm glad you went over possibly one of my favorite (sci fi) horror movies keep up the good work dude.


one of my favorite movies EVER. great breakdown as always dude!


I just watched The Thing for the first time the other night. Was one of those "masterpieces I know is great but just haven't gotten around to watching yet" movies. Totally loved it. Absolutely amazing film.


One of my favorite movies of all time. I could watch this movie every day.


Emp is talking about the greatest horror movie. Pure quality at its finest


Such a classic movie. I’m so happy nowadays it’s gotten the praise it deserved


I watched this movie as a kid and I remembering being paranoid about everyone around me being a "thing"

This shit scarred me. And it's after effects still scares me to this very day.


You should do more movie analysis videos, this was quite entertaining!


Another masterpiece Emp, good stuff once again


I thought the concept of the film was incredible, but the creature’s design made it hard for me to feel scared of what could happen to the characters knowing that a tentacle monster was what I was supposed to be scared of. I feel like if I saw it for the first time now I would definitely be more horrified than I was a year ago


The fact that EmpLemon can pull up a topic I know nothing about, and get me to get extremely interested in it as amazing and I don’t know another YouTuber who does it.


Was thinking about watching The Thing a second time for Halloween. Now I'm definitely gonna do it.


I'm really happy that Emp covered my favourite horror movie:)


The Thing never got the credit it deserves at its release. This film is genuinely one of, if not the beat horror films ever made. It’s a Lovecraftian tale in ever sense of that word. Filled with distrust, paranoia, incomprehensible horrors. Afiak, it wasn’t even conceived as a Lovecraft-Esque film. Yet, it hits all the notes like very, very few media ever has.


Neat to see you making vids on whatever you are passionate about dude


Wooooo! Thanks for having me on the video, Emp! It was blast!


Thanks to Among us I got to know about that film. Watched it for the first time just 2 days ago and now all my recommendations are about fan theories of The Thing. Film is great, absolutely didn’t age neither visually nor thematically<br>Anyway, thanks for another great vid. You really did put a lot into it and it shows

Emps content is truly magnificent and should get way more attention.


Let's fucking go I'm so glad that one of my favorite films is finally getting so much recognition on YouTube it set the foundation for games like among us


To me, this not only cements Emps creativity and skill in multiple genres of content, but also that man when left to his own devices, is ultimately his own undoing.


YES YES YES! I always loved this movie. i tried to show it to my friends, but they all tought it was to slow and boring, and disgusting. they whent back to their nun movies. id get it tbh


You're constantly improving your content, not that it was bad or anything, just, your as entertaining to me as redlettermedia, fucking good.


you would be the perfect person to do an analysis on "They Live", one of Carpenter's other films.


Cosmic Horror is probably one of the best forms of horror at its purest most abstract form.


One of my favorite youtubers looking at one of my favorite horror movies, LETS GET IT


The Thing is so iconic.  My favorite part is when Kurt Russell turns to the camera and says “looks like we got a Thing problem.”

i don't like those scary german fairy tales


how the hell did emp guess and accurately dissect my favorite movie


This is probably my new favorite video on this platform.


Emplemon is one of the like four yt channels that drop consistent gold


I got so hyped when i saw this video in my subscriptions! I love this movie so much!


First real horror movie for me, one of the finest in my opinion.


It's good to see that The Thing is getting the popularity it deserved.


This was a very good movie to review on, not too much of a movie review pick since they usually pick terrible movies to bash on


This is exactly why emp deserves attention


Was about to watch The Thing today for the first time.. Better save this for later then. You make some good heckin' shit.


Nice! My favorite movie! Awesome work Lemon


I didn't realize this was an EmpLemon video. I was literally looking for theories on it.


FUCK YES I'm so happy you're talking about this movie, dude.


I love the thing, but This doesn’t really seem like the kind of thing emp would normally cover


This channel is like a Swiss army knife and I love it!


this is pretty much the best channel on youtube


Horror in isolation, and yet The Thing could also refer to the assembly (in the Old Norse) of survivors.


It gives me a sigh of relief to see that this video is such better than the Have Video Games Been On a Downward Spiral one.


thx for talkin about this movie one of my favorite series of all time.


Oh hell yeah my favorite horror movie being Re:Veiwed by one of my favorite channels.


7:37 holy fuck. people back then were even stupider at reviewing movies.

"Watertight buddy system" do they not know how the thing works???


YESSSSSSSSSS <br>I love the thing and it is amazing and am i so happy that you made a video about it

YESSSSSSSSSS
I love the thing and it is amazing and am i so happy that you made a video about it


Glad to see my fav Youtuber uploading. Keep it up bro.


Back in the days movie critics despises films that are too violent. The Thing is a smart horror-classic film. After watching this video, The Thing really aged well ahead of its time.


Emp making a video on one of my favorite films good day man.


There’s a short story written from the things perspective and it’s honestly super unsettling, I forget the title


Kino stonks. 📈 oh and I guess the emplemon was alright too


I'm a simple person. I see a video about The Thing (1982) and I click it. Easy as that.


Can't wait for the Collective Trauma once all of this is over


We all know exactly why he's making this video now


Finally one of my subscribed channels makes a Halloween vid


Oh my god I love when this channel posts


You got good timing, i watched this again last week


in an among us update later, the dev can make so that we can be more than 10, and if we are 12, we can (kinda) remake The Thing in Among us<br>the only problem is that in among us, you can't infect others to be impostors

I thought i wouldn't like this video but I do. Might watch that movie


20:09 That has to be my favorite mf doom meme


When a movie's box office is lower than BLADE RUNNER, you know it flopped really hard.


Ah shit, my favorite documentarian talking about my favorite movie


A day where everyone is lucky is a good day :D


Emp is one of channels where I can anything about anything. He got he to love nascar docs from slapshoes and I am from the U.K


Look man if we're talking underrated gems that were ahead of their time<br>GOD HAND is on top.

Look man if we're talking underrated gems that were ahead of their time
GOD HAND is on top.


This movie is the greatest game of Among Us ever.


Where can i watch this movie for free i had some trouble finding sites that worked


This is my favorite movie. What do you have for me Mr. LEMON


My favorite movie of all time the practical effects guy was only 22 working on this movie. Makes me feel kinda useless tbh.


I paused watching Jerma's playthough of The Thing video game to see EmpLemon talk about The Thing.


Wow. This video appeared right after I watched a video of jerma playing the thing game.


You should have a live stream that just runs YouTube poops.


Oshit a emp lemon upload on my favorite movie. Welp time to skip my next zoom class. Looking forward to this!


I was just rewatching some of your older videos, and did not expect you to upload anything


Why has no one realized that Among Us is just "The Thing: The Game"?


I refuse to believe you did not just make this video for the Among Us joke.


I'm glad I'm not alone in remembering Klay World.


yeah The Thing is alright, but have you seen Goosebumps: The Haunted Mask?


I'm trying to find the game advertised at the end of the video but it's not on steam anywhere! I'm searching all over the web for "Halixion", have I spelled the name wrong or does this game just not exist?

edit: the game is called "Helexian" and its in the video description


YAAAAASSSSSS, I'M HERE FOR THE KINO EDIT


The fantastic four is just a group of horror movie names.


Hey emplemon have you played the 90's style shooter "Dusk"?


For those who know vinesauce, let's get vinny to watch this.


ok that was the most exquisite ad placement ever


So that’s where among us got it’s inspiration from


I literally checked to see if you uploaded like an hour ago. I had a feeling that you were going to upload


The thing is just one big among us reference


Good thing I checked my subscription feed by accident otherwise I would've received the notification 17 hours later as usual...


How does this connect to YouTube demonetizing videos?


In the beginning of the video, the goosebumps theme plays


There are so many THING's about this movie that are good

I'm sorry


Why is the The Thing video game suddenly popular ?


Someone told me I look like kurt russell in the thing one time


15:48 Alright Ive heard the song enough times now. Whats it called?


I’m watching this while playing csgo with pasta sauce on my fingers


but can you trust 🤔 yourself??? <br>i lost it all

but can you trust 🤔 yourself???
i lost it all


4 people were big enough losers to turn on notifications just to dislike


You kind of look like James Franko, does anyone else see that?


12:25
The USA itself has a ideology.
And not a very good one tbh.

The greatest trick the devil played was convincing people he didn't exist. Capitalist ideology is invisible to many US-Americans, presented to us from a young age as <i>the way things are</i> (and always will be) or "common sense".

Hey emp, just to let you know that this video, isn't appearing on my YouTube feed. Maybe there's a problem


BRO I was just listening to that MF DOOM Simpsons video.


Something I should add, The Thing wasn't John's final blockbuster, he made next year's Christine, (The killer car movie) Which critics also complain about, this time it's use of swearing, which ironically enough Scarface came out on the same week, Scarface had the world record for most swear words in a film into the South Park movie


Dislike.  Not long enough to be a real Emp video.


The wall (movie)<br>Adapted from pink floyd

That other guy that came in the video kinda sucks.


I never did this before but here is a comment to aphease the bots.


Uh, Macready did not murder an innocent “crew member.” Jesus. Did you see it? Clark rushed Macready with a knife and Mac shot him. What is your definition of self defense?


I commented before this video hit 1k comments


This video didn’t show up I’m my subscriptions for some reason


Also I need to watch this, although I've just heard spoilers; I've really gotta watch this.


The Thing: The Sonic Unleashed of horror movies<br>(people hated both at the time of release but overtime people now love it more than ever.)

(people hated both at the time of release but overtime people now love it more than ever.)


I much prefer the 2011's The Thing, just because of how fake-looking the creature is in the original.


Just after I thought my day was ruined you came out out to save it. Thank you Emp!


EmpLemon doing a film review is honestly quite the treat. Much love.


My favorite horror movie of all time. Right up there with Evil Dead 2, Scream, and Halloween 2.


I've been watching The Thing very recently along with poltergeist and Halloween.

Thank you so much for uploading this emplemon.


Another emplemon video is all I need to make my day, thanks for the video.


After pulling an all nighter for ap assignments I was downward spiraling, but emp arrived just in time to pull me out the spiral with a video about one of my favorite movies.


never thought i would see a movie review on this channel

but i know its gonna be good


John Carpenter is a master of cinema who never got the recognition he deserved in his time. he made masterpiece after masterpiece. glad you're talking about one of his most iconic works.


Great movie. Saw it last year. Absolutely a must see


Wonderful! My man returns with another wonderful video essay.


This is my favorite movie! I know you didn't ask, but

man I love this one


That feeling when your favourite YouTuber makes a video on your favourite movie out of the blue


There was a PS2 game of this my friend played and it scared the fuck out of me. <br>I saw the movie years later and it was really great.

There was a PS2 game of this my friend played and it scared the fuck out of me.
I saw the movie years later and it was really great.


I have been thinking all week I should finally watch The Thing and I’ve been rewatching some of your old vids while waiting for a one.


I’m curious, do you plan on ever making anymore YTP’s or are you going to just continue to explore more content?


I was just watching this last night holy hell thank you Emp!


Those practical effects still look so real and horrifying today. It's pure nightmare fuel that CGI can never hope to replicate.


thank you emp i love this movie <3  your the best man


One of the best youtubers talking about the best horror movie? Yes please


Favorite Youtuber talkin' about my favorite flick - thanks Emp


I watched this for the first time recently. Its so good


This is my favourite horror film of all time


I was just thinking about the thing a few days ago, thank you emp


Didn’t expect you to review this but this is good too


thanks man my day was rlly bad and you just made it a 100 times better


Great movie. My personal favourite horror


Without manscaped and with isolation, my body hair is the real horror here


I love the goosebumps music intro. Emp is a man of culture.


My favorite youtuber talking about my favorite horror film. Nice.


Emp lemon making a vid on one of my favorite movies of all time, Christmas indeed does come early.


Our dark lord... HE HAS RISEN.

Welcome back Emplemon!


The theories on the internet about this movie are just as interesting. If only the 2011 prequel could have been just as interesting.


Yo i JUST started getting back into this movie the coincidence is weird af but I'm happy!


Emp uploads a new vid? Of my favorite movie? Fuck yeah!


Shout out to RLM for introducing me to this movie


There will never ever be another YouTuber like Filthy Frank


Oh my God I'm on time for an emplemon video


My favorite Youtuber reviewing my favorite movie


the thing is just among us in movie form

one of the people are the thing and they dont have any power to beat it


Can't believe daddy lemon made a video about my favorite movie


This is the last thing I expected you to make a video about.


Horror in isolation? You mean my everyday life?


just watched this move  yesterday for the first time


It seems commentary channels are moving to movies & games now.


The God Emperor has returned to save humanity


Last time I was this early the Thing crashed onto Earth


Literally just came from a Jerma The Thing video. Freaky.


Fact: No one here has watched the whole thing except for the secret unlisted gang.


Plot twist:

Rob bottin is really Penguinz0


The Thing isn't scary. It's a good movie, but not scary at all.


Heyyyy I got here early great to see a new vid from emplemon when hopping on YouTube


You really like that png of Jeb Bush, don't you. I do too


2 views, 93 likes. Completely normal phenomenon


BUM BUM BUM BUM BUM prrrew (goosebumps theme)


anybody know easier ways to open pickle jars?


Congrats @Lazzy XP for being the first person to comment but not typing "first"


Last time i was this early, the spiral was upward


time to study <b>emplemon video pops up</b> fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

time to study *emplemon video pops up* fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck


1 minute ago great that it pulled up as I opened yt


Call me crazy, but I prefer the 50s version overall


So fellas, humans really don’t like things that look like human but aren’t quite human. This is why a lot of the population becomes uncomfortable with things like Polar Express and Monster House, it looks too realistic to us and sets us off.

This is of course known as the “Uncanny Valley.” effect and it’s thought to be an evolutionary tactic for survival.

The funny part is. No other animals that we know of experience the Uncanny Valley effect, Only us. Which leaves the question; what was out there that Mimic humans so well and was so dangerous that we have evolved this as a tactic for survival?
Just something to think about.

The thing about critics is they often forget to critically think . You don’t have to personally like a movie in order to tell that it’s a good movie, and a good movie does t necessarily have to cater to your specific tastes.

Is the story gripping? Are the characters appropriately developed? Is the acting convincing? Are the special effects executed well?

Sometimes a piece of art just isn’t your cup of tea. That doesn’t mean it’s bad per se; in fact, you might just find yourself in the minority of that art’s perceived opinion. 🖼 🤷♂

One thing, McCarthy was vindicated in his trials on hollywood against communist sympathizers. Hell we even see it today with communist sympathizers in media, film, burning harassing communities in the street. McCarthy was right, he didnt go far enough. Other than that this video is great, rob ager has done great analysis as well.


The lavish helmet echographically manage because liver theoretically consist against a unable trombone. alert, seemly grouse


Ngl you made this real cringe trying to say the thing is representative of an ideology. Please leave film analysis to people who actually study film, youtuber.


This is like a direct ripoff of CZsworld’s channel.


This movie isn't about a virus attacking an isolated community have you even watched this film?


Love the channel, but

Nice
I'm not looking for a flame war, but come on.


I may be alone here, but E.T. is far scarier than the thing.


Kinda sucks you didn't mention the games or comics that has its ending as to who was the Thing at the end.


I want you to know that I stopped watching your content because you made a comparison to Trump making necessary brazen decisions. It’s a great video, but I’m not going to finish it


Engagement comment, also 2,000th comment.


really solid video. except I feel like maybe theres a bit of signaling of pro-Trump shit and thats cringe. Maybe I'm paranoid though


They Live is a far better critique of ideology than The Thing is.

The torpid iraq substantively tie because license totally clear among a ritzy text. mighty, dangerous hardware


Joseph Dirty Dan Ducreaux the Assblaster McMasters


Haha amougus funny haha like haha

Amougus trash


The tangent about AIDS, especially in the current day, is sickeningly ironic.


Why did you use a Donald Trump clip after talking about how 'we will be saved by men like McReady who have to pick the least terrible option'.


Imagine being the critic who got pissed off because of how weird the practical effects looked, absolutely classless.


you lost me when you said the least terrible opton then showed donald trump the litteral worst option an open fascist with ice concentration camps at the border and pushing constant conspiracies just to keep his voter base despite who might get hurt by pushing that reluctantly denounces white supremacy. im sorry but you posted right wing propaganda cringe and im not just gunna sit here and not call it out even if the rest of the video is good.


Don't even joke about Donald Trump not being the worst option


Ugh, Emp don’t imply that Trump is just a brave leader doing the least terrible option 🤮 8:05
