Episode 102: On a THING and a Prayer

John and Jim chat about John Carpenter's masterpiece The Thing, a tale about a shapeshifting alien lifeform that causes panic and paranoia amongst a team of Americans at a research station. The two discuss how criminally underrated the film was when it first debuted in 1982. They also get into the gory details of Rob Bottin's genius special effects makeup work on the film. The two discuss how often remakes can be disappointing but agree, Carpenter's retelling has to stand as one of the all time great remade flicks. So, bundle up as you join us in the Antarctic, crack a cold one and enjoy.
