Hey, who’s up for a 4 and a half hour conversation about ‘The Thing’ (1982)?!

December 23, 2016 By Kathy Shaidle

Over at The Projection Booth podcast:

Initially lambasted by critics, John Carpenter’s The Thing (1982) was a brilliant adaptation of John W. Campbell’s novella Who Goes There?. The film tells the story of a dozen men in Antarctica who are infiltrated by an alien shapeshifter.

Interviews include authors John Kenneth Muir (The Films of John Carpenter), Jez Connelly (Devil’s Advocates: The Thing), actors Joel Polis (Fuchs), Thomas G. Waites (Windows), and cinematographer Dean Cundey.

Patrick Bromley of the F This Movie podcast and El Goro of the Talk Without Rhythm podcast join Mike on this very special episode.
