Episode 174: The Thing (Legacy Re-Release)

New Year, New View... this month, we're exploring films that remade, and improved on, the original. James and David… if they really ARE who they say they are… examine the John Carpenter classic THE THING in this legacy episode from 2019. Fear, paranoia and mistrust emerge as key themes, as well as the loss of our own identity. They are joined this week by Kathryn Harleman as Richard has inexplicably gone missing… (cue ominous music).
