The Thing Minute is a daily podcast that dives into John Carpenter's 1982 masterpiece THE THING, minute by minute! Every weekday I talk with horror filmmakers, authors, special effects artists, and more about a minute of THE THING. Check out www.moviesbyminutes.com for more podcasts like this one!
We're back! In this very special crossover episode, Heidi Bennett and Molly Bailen from Cabin Minute Cast join us to talk about Philip Kaufman's 1978 sci-fi classic INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS! We talk about connections to THE THING, sound design and music, and of course the raw sex appeal of peak Donald Sutherland. We had a great chat and it's a great movie that clearly had some influence on THE THING, so check it out!
For the final episode, I have on lots of previous guests to give their two cents about the end of the movie! Please check out links to all our guests' stuff! For links to everything we talked about, go to www.thethingminute.com!
