CINEMISSES! The Thing (1982)

In this episode, Matt and Tug delve into the blood and goo-soaked details of John Carpenter's  1982 gorefest, The Thing, focusing on the film's practical effects, the influences behind its creation, and the themes of paranoia and transformation that shine through this shapeshifting tale. They discuss the artistry of practical effects versus CGI, the film's unique approach to horror, and the pivotal moments that heighten tension and suspense. The conversation also touches on the sheer number of flamethrowers we see, while raising a collective eyebrow at the amount of assumptions these "scientists" make about the nature of the evil they are up against. Oh and Jed – you're a good dog buddy.
