Rob SpewakHOST
Great effect.
Rob SpewakHOST
Really a step up from the TV show where Thing just would appear out of a box.
Rob SpewakHOST
Now Thing is a character running around.
Rob SpewakHOST
Gomez and Morticia are passionately in love.
Rob SpewakHOST
Their children, Wednesday and Pugsley, enjoy torturing each other.

Rob SpewakHOST
uh so meanwhile abigail tully and gordon now control the mansion but can't find the treasure there's all the booby traps everywhere and they just keep getting frustrated and gordon fester is getting more and more uncomfortable with what they've done with the family so determined to save the family morticia returns to the mansion to confront gordon But they capture her and torture her, hoping to force her to reveal the vault's secrets.
Rob SpewakHOST
But one problem is she doesn't seem to mind the torture because she's Morticia.
Rob SpewakHOST
But Thing comes to the rescue.
Doug LeafHOST
Oh, yeah.
Amanda RivasGUEST
I'm like, I want a Thing.
Amanda RivasGUEST
It was ...
Amanda RivasGUEST
Like, he was just the coolest little guy.
Doug LeafHOST
Thing is all over this movie too.
Amanda RivasGUEST
Thing is.
Doug LeafHOST
Like, they really ...
Doug LeafHOST
They, they figured out how to do, do the special effect.
JP TuesdayHOST
Yeah.
JP TuesdayHOST
When they said, oh, we're going to have Thing be mobile.
JP TuesdayHOST
Because again, if you watch the old TV show, Thing is just a hand that comes out of a box.
JP TuesdayHOST
Thank you, Thing.
Kiki CannonHOST
Yeah, he literally just sits on a table and occasionally pops out to, like, hand them the mail or pick up the phone and hand them the receiver.
JP TuesdayHOST
But to have Thing basically become a full character, mobile, moving around and, you know, communicating in sign language and Morse code.
Kiki CannonHOST
Yeah, and in fact, the only scene where the effects don't hold up, and it's not because of just, like, well, technology has moved on, we can do it better now, is the scene where he's doing Morse code because part of the table got jostled loose as he was tapping on it.
Kiki CannonHOST
And so the table kind of splits a little bit and you can very obviously see it is a dude under a table with his hand sticking through a hole like banging a spoon because the table splits just enough that you can see the seam.
Allison RehnborgHOST
Tell us about Ammo, 'cause I mean, you couldn't do it without, without a, a very good partner, and he looks amazing in the pictures I've seen.
Allison RehnborgHOST
Oh yep, there's the thing on his head.
Allison RehnborgHOST
All right.
Taylor RoederGUEST
Yeah.
9 MINS LATER
Allison RehnborgHOST
Awesome.
Allison RehnborgHOST
And so it, it'll be your first trip up to Equine Affair in Massachusetts, and you're gonna be performing for us in Fantasia.
Allison RehnborgHOST
So are you bringing Ammo and The Thing and the whole Wednesday Addams routine with you?
Taylor RoederGUEST
Yeah, I am.
Drew SchlosbergHOST
And the, is there a Thing in the play?
Chris RubioGUEST
Uh, we, w- not necessarily.
Chris RubioGUEST
We do, uh, kinda pay tribute to The Thing within the animations, and we kinda have, like, a hand come out to grab a, grab a prop or ...
Chris RubioGUEST
But there's not, like, an actual animatronic hand running around the stage.
Chris RubioGUEST
If we had more budget, we probably could've made that happen.
MaxHOST
I, the, th- these characters, they're so good.
MaxHOST
I mean, we haven't even talked about Thing.
MaxHOST
Like-
AlanHOST
No, we haven't even talked about Thing-
MollyHOST
[laughs]
MaxHOST
...
MaxHOST
the hand, which is also, like, to be clear, there were moments where Thing in today's CGI did not hold up, but for '91-
MollyHOST
I thought he looked pretty good
AbbyUNKNOWN
Mm-hmm
BillHOST
... and their butler Lurch, and their pet hand Thing, and occasionally Cousin Itt.
AbbyUNKNOWN
See, they're all about family.
ErinHOST
Yeah, I did not realize-
23 MINS LATER
GinaHOST

BillHOST

GinaHOST

BillHOST
Thing didn't have a v- voice, he...
