EP120 - The Thing (1982)

from Retro Ramble · host Retro Ramble

Charlie and George head to Antarctica to discuss the horror classic, John Carpenter's The Thing. They delve into the film's origins, its haunting Morricone score, Rob Bottin's ground-breaking practical effects, and several Suspicious Spin-Offs! Listeners can expect a healthy dose of paranoia, poor impressions, and fawning over Kurt Russell. If you're in the mood for more John Carpenter spookiness, make sure to check out their thoughts on Halloween (1978) and They Live! (1988) over on their Patreon channel at https://www.patreon.com/retroramble.
