Happy Halloween! Today, in part 2 of our John Carpenter double feature, the lads dive into his iconic horror masterpiece, "The Thing," released in 1982. We dissect the chilling narrative of an Antarctic research team that encounters a shape-shifting alien life form, leading to paranoia and distrust among its members.

Join us as we discuss the incredible yet disgusting practical monster effects, how perfect Kurt Russell’s performance (and hair) is and how this movie didn’t get the love it deserved until years after it was released.

Hosted by Tage Sickler and Steve Teasdale
Theme song and incidental music composed and performed by Steve Teasdale
