RIP to Drew Struzan, the man behind the most iconic film posters of all time, all by hand, all by skill and talent, and alwyas (as especially in the case of the 24hr completion of the poster for The Thing, without having seen the film), with a sprinkle of genius.

We'd never say that a themed episode would turn into a Bad Film Club episode. We tackle films objectively and with critical thought and attention. Having said that, you might see some ranting at 8pm GMT/2pm CT on the SecondCutPod YouTube livestream tonight...
