The 2nd half of James and Luke’s conversation with their special guest-host, 4x Bram Stoker Award winning writer Mike Arnzen, all about John Carpenter’s 1982 sci-fi horror classic, The Thing. Topics include: Trying to track the disease vectors in the film, debating at what point Blair turns, theories about who could’ve destroyed the blood, just how the CPR arm-biting scene was able to be so shocking, what makes the iconic wire-in-the-blood test so compelling, and the rampant breakdowns in communication throughout. They end by proposing what themes and social commentaries could be suggested by the movie, what the film’s legacy is today, and why people still watching and talking about this movie 35 years later.
