POPULARITY
After diving into some of my classic movies I found myself completely astounded by how much "The Parent Trap" holds up after all these years. It's the perfect blend of family entertainment, cinematic presentation with great writing. Dean Cundey has an INSANE resume and people often overlook the greatness of his work that includes The Parent Trap.

Belated sequels to monumental, genre-defining classics always walk on a knife edge! They can be a worthwhile elaboration upon the original, recontextualised for a new era, or they can be cynical cashgrabs forever consigned as a footnote to cinema history. Australian director Richard Franklin's Psycho II (1983) benefits from returning cast members Vera Miles and, of course, Anthony Perkins, a twisty turny psychological mystery script from Fright Night's Tom Holland, a disturbing score from Jerry Goldsmith and cinematography from John Carpenter regular Dean Cundey. But is it just a pretender in a classic movie's clothes? Or should it be released from custody to set up a new franchise? Find out!

This week we take a look at Bryan's favorite movie of all time, John Carpenter's tough guy action dystopia that definitely shook the Disney off of Kurt Russell and reintroduced him as a premier action movie star for the 1980's. We track the entire trajectory of this movie's production, we'll tell you why everyone thinks Snake Plissken is dead, you'll find out about all the other guys that the production company wanted over Kurt Russell, how director of photography, Dean Cundey engineered an entirely new anamorphic lens just to see the movie at night without sacrificing all the awesome lighting. It's a once-in-a-lifetime action movie that set the pace for the decade and inspired everyone to try their hand (and mostly fail) at making their own version of the movie.Carpenter had access to more money than he'd work with before and still had to stretch a dollar to make the movie and he managed to knock it out of the park on every front. The cast is stacked. The production design is second-to-none, and the soundtrack is just perfect.

Pourtant méprisé par les institutions intellectuelles et les producteurs des majors, John Carpenter a littéralement fait le cinéma, le cinéma d'horreur et la popculture des années 80's/90's en mettant en scène le mal à l'état pur, la peur métaphysique, la peur des autres qui a terrorisé plusieurs générations d'ados et ayant influencé quasiment tous les artistes contemporains que ce soit au cinéma, à la musique ou les jeux vidéos. Un réalisateur iconique qui était aussi entouré d'une équipe qui l'était tout autant notamment son chef-op Dean Cundey qui aura lui aussi fait les plus grands films de Spielberg et Zemeckis. Passé le début des années 90's, Carpenter enchaîne les bides, non pas au box-office où il n'a jamais été un cheval de guerre, mais même ses plus grands fans ont du mal à défendre ses productions comme Escape from LA ou Vampires, mais le film qui va définitivement finir sa carrière sera en 2001 avec Ghosts of MarsUn ratage tel qu'il sera dégouté de la réalisation et préféra la NBA, le synthé, la Playstation et la thune des fans en convention prêt à payer le prix fort pour faire des photos avec lui jusqu'à la fin de sa chienne de vie.Enregistré en live sur notre chaîne twitch ABONNEZ-VOUS !

Today, my guest is a prolific cinematographer, accomplished photographer, and member of the American Society of Cinematographers, Dean Cundey A.S.C.Dean rose to fame for extraordinary cinematography in the 1980s and 1990s. His early start was working on the set of Halloween. Dean is credited as director of photography on five Back To The Future films and Jurassic Park.The Halloween slasher franchise consisted of eleven films and was initially released in 1978. The films primarily focus on Michael Myers, who was committed to a sanitarium as a child for the murder of his sister, Judith Myers. Fifteen years later, he escapes to stalk and kill the people of the fictional town of Haddonfield, Illinois. Michael's killings occur on the holiday of Halloween, on which all of the films primarily take place.The second film, one of which Cundey served as director of photography, was based on Marty McFly, who had only just gotten back from the past when he is once again picked up by Dr. Emmett Brown and sent through time to the future. Marty's job in the future is to pose as his son to prevent him from being thrown in prison. Unfortunately, things get worse when the future changes the present.The three Back To The Future films Dean worked on grossed $388.8, $336, and $243 million globally, becoming all-time hits on budgets of $19, $40, and $40 million.Cundey is cited as being amongst some of the best directors of photography. In addition to his lighting skills, particularly in the famous hallway scene where the hidden face of Michael Myers, played by writer/director Nick Castle, is slowly revealed by way of a blue light next to the mask, he was among the first cinematographers to make use of a recent invention called the Steadicam, or paraglide.Some other shows and movies he's worked on include, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Tales of the Unexpected, Romancing the Stone, Invitation To Hell, Big Trouble in Little China, etc.Who Framed Roger Rabbit; A toon-hating detective is a cartoon rabbit's only hoping to prove his innocence when he is accused of murder. Basically, 'Toon star Roger is worried that his wife Jessica is playing pattycake with someone else, so the studio hires detective Eddie Valiant to snoop on her. But the stakes are quickly raised when Marvin Acme is found dead, and Roger is the prime suspect. Groundbreaking interaction between the live and animated characters, and lots of references to classic animation.Dean grew up an avid reader of the American Cinematographer magazines he would buy after school from a local camera shop close by. That was how his inspiration to pursue filmmaking came about. He shifted his focus to theater history while still taking some architectural design classes at California State University before he ultimately enrolled at the University of California Los Angeles film school.In 1993 Jurassic Park, Dean made a minor appearance as a boat crew member (Mate) while also staffed as director of photography. The film follows a pragmatic paleontologist visiting an almost complete theme park tasked with protecting a couple of kids after a power failure causes the park's cloned dinosaurs to run loose. Huge advancements in scientific technology have enabled a mogul to create an island full of living dinosaurs.A park employee attempts to steal dinosaur embryos, critical security systems are shut down, and it now becomes a race for survival with dinosaurs roaming freely over the island.Cundey holds over one hundred and fifty cinematography & photography credits for movies, television, and short films. That is no small feat in this business. The man has stayed busy and booked since graduation from film school. That kind of consistency in Hollywood is only doable by having extreme persistence and excellence. One of the many things he did to stay prepared and on top of his craft was investing into building himself a ‘super van' or one couple call it a cinematographer's heaven that contained every equipment (cameras, editing's tools, etc.) required to help him get work get and do work easily.We talk more about Dean joining The Book of Boba Fett and The Mandalorian crew as well. Check it all out in our chat.Enjoy my conversation with Dean Cundey.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bulletproof-screenwriting-podcast--2881148/support.

A new attraction themed around "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" was announced in November 1993, originally named "Honey, I Shrunk the Theater" and later changed to "Honey, I Shrunk the Audience." Kodak sponsored the attraction. ProductionThe film was directed by Randal Kleiser, known for "Grease" and "Flight of the Navigator," and written by Bill Prady and Steve Spiegel.

Sam Clements is curating a fictional film festival. He'll accept almost anything, but the movie must not be longer than 90 minutes. This is the 90 Minutes Or Less Film Fest podcast. In episode 94 Sam is joined by returning pod-guest Joe Cornish, writer and director of Attack The Block, The Kid Who Would Be King and the new Netflix series Lockwood & Co. Joe has chosen Halloween (90 mins). John Carpenter's classic horror movie from 1978 stars Donald Pleasance, and introduced the world to Jamie Lee Curtis and the iconic villain, Michael Myers. Sam and Joe discuss bringing a ghost to life on screen, Dean Cundey's ground-breaking camera work in Halloween and the minimalist nature of the film.

This week, Sarah and MJ are joined by one of MJ's co-hosts on Reel Perspective, Missy Lonsinger! They close out Spielberg Season 1 with a beloved childhood favorite of many, Hook! They discuss whether or not it is a film that is looked at favorably because of nostalgia blinders, the Oscars it was and was not nominated for, cinematographer Dean Cundey's background shooting horror films, and Sarah and MJ come clean about their dislike of the film for the whole internet to hear.
Today, my guest is a prolific cinematographer, accomplished photographer, and member of the American Society of Cinematographers, Dean Cundey.Dean rose to fame for extraordinary cinematography in the 1980s and 1990s. His early start was working on the set of Halloween. Dean is credited as director of photography on five Back To The Future films and Jurassic Park.The Halloween slasher franchise consisted of eleven films and was initially released in 1978. The films primarily focus on Michael Myers, who was committed to a sanitarium as a child for the murder of his sister, Judith Myers. Fifteen years later, he escapes to stalk and kill the people of the fictional town of Haddonfield, Illinois. Michael's killings occur on the holiday of Halloween, on which all of the films primarily take place. The second film, one of which Cundey served as director of photography, was based on Marty McFly, who had only just gotten back from the past when he is once again picked up by Dr. Emmett Brown and sent through time to the future. Marty's job in the future is to pose as his son to prevent him from being thrown in prison. Unfortunately, things get worse when the future changes the present.The three Back To The Future films Dean worked on grossed $388.8, $336, and $243 million globally, becoming all-time hits on budgets of $19, $40, and $40 million.Cundey is cited as being amongst some of the best directors of photography. In addition to his lighting skills, particularly in the famous hallway scene where the hidden face of Michael Myers is slowly revealed by way of a blue light next to the mask, he was among the first cinematographers to make use of a recent invention called the Steadicam, or paraglide.Some other shows and movies he's worked on include, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Tales of the Unexpected, Romancing the Stone, Invitation To Hell, Big Trouble in Little China, etc.Who Framed Roger Rabbit; A toon-hating detective is a cartoon rabbit's only hoping to prove his innocence when he is accused of murder. Basically, 'Toon star Roger is worried that his wife Jessica is playing pattycake with someone else, so the studio hires detective Eddie Valiant to snoop on her. But the stakes are quickly raised when Marvin Acme is found dead, and Roger is the prime suspect. Groundbreaking interaction between the live and animated characters, and lots of references to classic animation.Dean grew up an avid reader of the American Cinematographer magazines he would buy after school from a local camera shop close by. That was how his inspiration to pursue filmmaking came about. He shifted his focus to theater history while still taking some architectural design classes at California State University before he ultimately enrolled at the University of California Los Angeles film school.In 1993 Jurassic Park, Dean made a minor appearance as a boat crew member (Mate) while also staffed as director of photography. The film follows a pragmatic paleontologist visiting an almost complete theme park tasked with protecting a couple of kids after a power failure causes the park's cloned dinosaurs to run loose. Huge advancements in scientific technology have enabled a mogul to create an island full of living dinosaurs. A park employee attempts to steal dinosaur embryos, critical security systems are shut down, and it now becomes a race for survival with dinosaurs roaming freely over the island.Cundey holds over one hundred and fifty cinematography & photography credits for movies, television, and short films. That is no small feat in this business. The man has stayed busy and booked since graduation from film school. That kind of consistency in Hollywood is only doable by having extreme persistence and excellence.One of the many things he did to stay prepared and on top of his craft was investing into building himself a ‘super van' or one couple call it a cinematographer's heaven that contained every equipment (cameras, editings tools, etc.) required to help him get work get and do work easily. We talk more about this in our chat.Enjoy my conversation with Dean Cundey.
“IT'LL FIGHT IF IT HAS TO, BUT IT'S VULNERABLE OUT IN THE OPEN.“On this Halloween episode of Retro Grade Podcast, we cover one of the best movies from one of the best horror filmmakers of all time, 1982's The Thing, directed by John Carpenter. Although the film is referred to as a remake of the 1951 RKO Pictures production, The Thing from Another World, the film is actually more of a reinterpretation of the original novella from 1938, Who Goes There. If it's hard to believe that this movie has just celebrated it's 40th anniversary, it may be even harder to believe that it was a box office bomb and despised by critics of the time. However, the film has lasted the test of time, being remade, turned into a video game, and then inspiring the popular pandemic game, Among Us!On our episode, we talk about how the film also doubles as a “whodunit” and a graphic body horror film. We talk about how the film tricks you in your first viewing, and inspires multiple viewings, each one giving you a new thing to appreciate about it. We discuss our theories on the timelines, trying to track down when The Thing assimilates and imitates the doomed US Outpost 31 Team, with the help of the John Carpenter approved fansite. When do the crew members get infected, or rather, why did it imitate who it imitates? We have a lot of fun exchanging theories on this section of the episode.We talk about the nihilistic themes of the movie, and how innate it is in human nature to distrust each other, especially when you are on a job with people you might not necessarily like. The film's characters were (unfairly) criticized for being ‘stereotypes,' but we talk about how realistic they actually are, and their significance to the story and theme. We talk about the amazing special effects done by a then 21 year old Rob Buttin, working with the highest budget Universal had ever spent on creature effects. We talk about the score from the legendary Italian composer Ennio Morricone, and how the early versions of the score were used in a more recent western film. And yet, despite the amount of talent from the actors, (especially the arguably best dog actor in a film ever,) Carpenter's vision, Morricone's score, Buttin's effects, Dean Cundey's cinematography, the film was disregarded as “instant trash.“ We get into why we think the summer audience of 1982 might not have appreciated the film, but why we do now.We hope you enjoy this episode, and have a Happy Halloween!Music is from Triune Digital and audio clips pulled from movies we will be reviewing in other episodes.Artwork by @jannelle_o
It's week two of our John Carpenter horror movies month, and since we're also hitting the big 5-0 in our episode count, we decided to do a double feature! We talk about Halloween and The Fog, two Carpenter classics that are very different but share some strong common bonds too. We discuss both films' Hitchcock roots, the many contributions of the brilliant writer/producer Debra Hill, Dean Cundey's stellar cinematography, babysitters in peril, keeping your pants on for safety, what Michael Myers did on the drive to Haddonfield, and the fine art of revenge negotiations. Sharpen your knives and join us!
School's out for summer, but Mark rewinds to '80s Antarctica with cinephile and camera expert Joe Brady for the 40th anniversary of John Carpenter's chilling film The Thing! It was released in theaters on June 25, 1982 to harsh criticism, but those critics were obviously possessed by aliens. Joe and Mark rave about Rob Bottin's insane practical special effects, Dean Cundey's cinematography, the memorable and creative title sequence, and the connection to Alien. Save us, Kurt Russell!
Forty years ago, this sci-fi horror thriller was released as director Carpenter's follow-up to Escape From New York and Halloween, both of which were quite popular and pretty groundbreaking for the time. It was a remake of the horror classic The Thing From Another World directed by the late great Howard Hawks – it has a top-flight cast of veteran actors lead by Kurt Russell including Keith David, Wilford Brimley, Richard Masur, Donald Moffett, and Alan Dysart among others. It also featured state-of-the-art special effects from modern master Rob Bottin, a hummable score from the legendary Ennio Morricone, and crisp visuals from one of the best cinematographers of this era, Dean Cundey. Everything about this film was top-of-the-line…..so WHY was it so disliked when it first came out? :o Reviews were relatively bad as was the box office – however over time, this film has become a genuinely beloved cult classic now considered among John Carpenter's best films. Let's go back to that isolated scientific facility to find out why....Host: Geoff Gershon Editors: Geoff and Ella GershonProducer: Marlene Gershonhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

When they take in the dog, it brutally attacks both human beings and canines in the camp and they discover that the beast can assume the shape of its victims. A resourceful helicopter pilot and the camp doctor lead the camp crew in a desperate, gory battle against the vicious creature before it picks them all off, one by one.” Directed by John Carpenter and starring Kurt Russell, Keith David, Wilford Brimley, T.K.

On today's episode, our dutiful hosts watch 1982's John Carpenter's The THING with the commentary featuring the film's Cinematographer, Dean Cundey. It's the first time rewatching the movie in over 2 days! What in the heck!?
John Carpenter llevaba años trabajando la idea de hacer una película donde reflejar el descontento y la frustración que le habían provocado tanto el escándalo Watergate, como la situación que se encontró en Nueva York en un viaje que hizo a la ciudad en los años 70. Aquella descomposición social, la podredumbre política, la inseguridad que se respiraba… no paraban de girar en su cabeza, ya curtida en el rechazo a la autoridad y la desconfianza hacia el poder que se le inculcó desde niño. Así, aprovechó su vinculación con AVCO Embassy Pictures y la productora Debra Hill, para hacer realidad estas visiones de pesadilla. Para ello, apostó fuerte por un elenco en el que confiaba y que sabía que no le iba a generar problemas (con un motivado Kurt Russell y un Lee Van Cleef ya en su ocaso), pudiendo así mantener en lo posible su autoría y control en casi todo el producto, como a él le gustaba. Además, recurrió a la ayuda de su colega Nick Castle para perfilar y pulir su guion, se apoyó para el diseño visual en su equipo de confianza, con un inspirado Dean Cundey en la dirección de fotografía, y compuso, junto a Alan Howarth, la banda sonora que tan reconocible es a día de hoy. En este episodio analizamos cómo cada uno de los elementos mencionados tuvo un papel clave en el éxito de este western futurista. Profundizamos en los detalles de la producción, en sus efectos visuales, en sus códigos, detallamos ciertas anécdotas y datos curiosos, y revelamos las intenciones del film, la visión que refleja, la crítica social y política que empapa cada escena, pero sin olvidarnos de, “simplemente”, disfrutar de la locura y el carrusel en el que nos sumerge Carpenter, acompañando al antihéroe Snake Plissken en su descenso al infierno. Pero no lo hacemos solos. Al reducido equipo formado por el exuberante Óscar “Maggie” Cabrera, y el “Cerebro” de la operación, el desatinado Juan Pablo Molina, se le une el alivio cómico del podcaster Dani Maverick (En clave de Soundtrack https://www.ivoox.com/podcast-en-clave-soundtrack_sq_f1641084_1.html), para, entre todos, destrozar una película de culto que forma parte indisoluble de la cultura de los 80. _______________________________________________ Escúchanos también en www.remakealos80.com Síguenos en Twitter @Remakealos80 y búscanos en Telegram, te dejamos el enlace a nuestro grupo de para que compartas tus opiniones e interactúes con nosotros: https://t.me/joinchat/GXsRJYMd3wQVBG2v
On this week's show, we're getting all small and taking off in a Hot Wheels car to talk about 1997's Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves! What's the difference between a manbaby and a babyman? Why has Diane Szalinski not filed for divorce yet? Who keeps their toxic experimental fluids in the staff room fridge? What kind of sad excuse for a party is this? Where did $33m of this movie's budget disappear to? All this, plus a disdain for Rube Goldberg contraptions and a reminder of how bad Downsizing was. Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves is directed by Dean Cundey, and stars Rick Moranis, Eve Gordon, Stuart Pankin, Robin Bartlett, Bug Hall and - uh oh - Allison Mack. Bad With Numbers is a weekly show about questionable movie sequels, all the way from Toronto, Canada. It's hosted by Neth Knowles, Laura Medeiros, Rodey Gozum and Megan Swaine.

In the season finale of Season 4 (The Horror, The Horror) Kyle is joined by a panel of guests, cinematographer Josh Carter, script supervisor Katy Baldwin, and filmmaker Michael Willer (of the Big Fat Gay Podcast), to discuss John Carpenter's exquisite rumination on the true fearful unknowns of trust, identity, and self in the thrilling adaptation of John W. Campbell Jr.'s Who Goes There?, The Thing.

Halloween is here once again, and while the season is still in full swing, we thought we'd take a look at a John Carpenter-produced sequel that (temporarily, at least) took his beloved horror franchise into entirely new territory. Halloween III: Season of the Witch, directed by Carpenter's regular collaborator Tommy Lee Wallace, might be one of the kookiest big-studio horror films ever made, kicking Michael Myers to the curb and replacing him with something altogether unexpected. Chris and Nick explore this wild and crazy corner of the extended Carpenter universe (featuring another killer musical score co-written by J.C. and more terrific cinematography by future Oscar-winner Dean Cundey), and make some futile attempts at solving its many mysteries. What mysteries, you ask? Well, for starters, what kind of drugs were the writers of this film on (and, where can we get some)? What, exactly, is the movie's villain -- the somewhat Willy Wonka-esque Conal Cochran -- trying to accomplish with his sinister plot to gruesomely murder America's children on Halloween night? And, um, how does middle-aged Tom Atkins keep ending up in bed with attractive, much younger women in all of these Carpenter movies? Maybe a content warning is in order, here: this episode contains A LOT more profanity than your average Precinct 13 outing, but we think it's pretty well justified -- this movie isn't just crazy, it's f*cking crazy. Anyway, we've got all of that, plus a few more recommendations for your spooky seasonal viewing pleasure, on a very special Halloween episode -- put on your Silver Shamrock mask and enjoy!
The Halloween season is upon us yet again, and we simply couldn't let it pass without checking in on the long-running horror franchise that John Carpenter launched over 40 years ago. This week, it's back to good old Haddonfield as Chris and Nick revisit 1981's Halloween II, the first sequel to Carpenter's genre-defining classic. While directorial duties were handed over to first-timer Rick Rosenthal, Carpenter and Debra Hill returned (somewhat reluctantly) as screenwriters and producers; the film also features returning cast members Jamie Lee Curtis, Donald Pleasence, and Charles Cyphers, another classic Carpenter score (this time, with the assistance of frequent collaborator Alan Howarth), and the incredible cinematography of future Oscar-winner Dean Cundey. The movie picks up right where Carpenter's original leaves off, but as much as we love Michael Myers, we have to ask: did we really need to see MORE of the night he came home? We've got a lot of thoughts about this slasher sequel, as well as some other favorite horror franchises, in a special episode that we hope brings a little bit of normalcy to what will definitely go down as one of the scariest Halloween seasons in memory.

It's cult-classic time once again here on Precinct 13, and this week, Chris and Nick are jumping aboard the Porkchop Express for part one of a two-part discussion of Carpenter's mid-eighties action-comedy Big Trouble in Little China. You know the deal: Kurt Russell stars as trucker Jack Burton in a wildly colorful movie that goes so far over-the-top with its martial arts and mystical mayhem, it's almost too much to absorb in a single sitting. For part one of our exploration of Big Trouble, we take a look at the film's pre-production challenges (at one point, this movie was going to fit into another genre entirely!), the introduction of Russell's bumbling hero and his much-more-competent companions, and the influence of both Hong Kong action cinema and the silent comedy tradition. Oh, and there's also another iconic Carpenter musical score, cinematographer Dean Cundey's dazzling return to the filmography, a future Sex and the City co-star who lands one of the best character names in the Carpenter canon... We've got a lot to talk about with this one (and, don't worry, we promise we'll get to Al Leong next episode!).
Hey Gang! Great moments. Are Born. From Great Opportunity. Oh wait that's that other movie. This one is the 1982 classic The Thing starring Kurt Russell. Bri loves this movie so much he didn't even ask Chris or Jer how they're doing. For the record, Chris is doing good as usual, Jer couldn't be reached to confirm but is likely doing "terrible". Things discussed: Kurt Russell almost didn't star in this movie; we talk the score, the unused score, and The Hateful Eight; Roger Ebert; Dean Cundey; John Carpenter; Bennings original death and why they changed it; some side talk about Castle Rock and Fargo the FX Series. Also, a brief retrospective to when Jer was wrong. Please Forgive This is a Film Podcast. About Films. Check us out at http://pleaseforgivethis.com
John Carpenter’s THE THING got a bad rap when it was released in 1982. Though a special effects marvel and unique to the science-fiction/horror genre, it is now considered a well-respected, beloved cult film. Isolation and paranoia had not reached such monstrous, cinematic proportions until this landmark achievement in Carpenter’s career. And nearly 40 years later, THE THING still holds strong as a brilliant, deliberately atmospheric display of well-rounded artistry. ▶️Synopsis: Set in Antarctica, a team of researchers are infiltrated and attacked by a shape-shifting, body assimilating creature that takes over the camp one person at a time. ⏩⏩Discussions include: THE THING’s source material and how Carpenter re-envisioned the story; how tone and pacing create the mood of this ensemble film; Rob Bottin’s visceral special effects, Dean Cundey’s cinematography and the expansive set design; pre-production cast bonding and character interplay; physical challenges faced by cast and crew; Carpenter’s relationship with THE THING star, Kurt Russell; behind-the-scene tidbits, along with Justin and Lindsay’s favorite scenes. **Starring Kurt Russell, Keith David, Wilford Brimley. Directed by John Carpenter.** ▶️**PICKS OF THE WEEK**—Lindsay’s Pick, BREAKDOWN (1997): In this taught, cautionary tale, a woman is kidnapped in the middle of nowhere by a mysterious trucker driver, leaving her husband to stop at nothing to track her down. **Starring Kurt Russell, Kathleen Quinlan, J.T. Walsh. Directed by Jonathan Mostow.** —Justin’s Pick, ELVIS (1979): This made-for-tv movie condenses the biggest life moments of music legend, Elvis Presley — from high school to his rise to stardom, relationship with his parents, marriage and segueing into acting. **Starring Kurt Russell, Shelley Winters, Bing Russell. Directed by John Carpenter.** ▶️MURRAYMOMENT: Revisiting the commercially unsuccessful Billy film, LARGER THAN LIFE (1996), which also featured THE THING’s Keith David, and why this movie deserves another chance. ▶️FINAL THOUGHTS: Ennio Morricone’s score mixing with Carpenter’s musical contributions for THE THING; critical reception and open-ended climax to the film; THE THING as an AIDS epidemic metaphor; some love for canine actor, Jed the dog. ▶️NEXT UP: I SHOT ANDY WARHOL (1996)!
No, this is not an episode on 2016's The Thing on the Doorstep. But let's not focus on what it isn't and instead focus on what it is: an early Christmas gift and/or the podcast's first discussion of a spiritual adaptation of Lovecraft's work! Scheduling and life stuff meant we couldn't do justice to the film that we promised last episode, so we instead geeked out over the John Carpenter classic that features shades of "The Color Out of Space," "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward," and "At the Mountains of Madness." Come for the gushing over Rob Bottin's still amazing practical effects and stay for the speculation over what happened to Dean Cundey's career! Also, what do YOU think - is Childs the thing at the end or not? Also also, The Thing on the Doorstep will be coming next week.

Greetings listeners! Welcome back to the Horror 101 show. After taking a month off we return to weigh in on the upcoming Halloween 2018 film and what its going to mean after its release. Is it enough that Jamie Lee Curtis is coming back to play Laurie Strode and John Carpenter will be making the music? Does it make sense that this new film will be replacing everything thats come after the original 1978 film? Few sequels are as perfect as Halloween II (1981). It begins the moment the original film left off and it is an exceptional film which concluded an excellent story. And with this new film threatening to remove it from the Myers canon its clear our only act of defiance is to give the Horror 101 treatment to Rick Rosenthal's Part II. We'll be speaking to long time listener Eugene and getting his thoughts. We'll spend some time on what we're expecting from the new movie and retrospecting on Part II. Join us as we defend one of the greatest horror sequels ever made. Show highlights: 01:00 Prelude to Terror... 05:00 Returning for one more show (in this dungeon) 08:20 Few sequels are as perfect... 11:00 Opening Halloween 2 titles... 12:50 Dean Cundey returns... 14:30 The Sheriff's daughter... 16:30 The nurse and Loomis... 19:05 Great suspense... 21:00 Why won't he die? 23:00 Eugene weighs in... 28:30 The #Metoo Halloween 31:25 Scoring Part II 34:45 Conclusion...thanks for listening!

This week I'm sharing a late night conversation with a best friend of mine who I had not seen in years. His name is Daniel Aceves A.K.A. "Danny Legs” (he has these freakishly long legs). He is a Video Game Advertisement Designer, Masking expert, Film Historian, and a well versed Vintage Photographer. Legs and I got into a lot of in-depth talk about amazing films, our favorite scenes, the technical sides, and we got into a late-night laughing fit. If you’re looking for a couple of film guys to hang out with who are obsessed with the X-Files for the next while, you may enjoy this episode with Daniel Aceves and myself. We certainly did.

Help support The Sci-Fi Movie Podcast by becoming a Patron! Hosted by Remi Lavictoire, Bonnie Beyea and Mr. Blahg Get the Sci-Fi Movie Podcast Archive for 5 Bucks! This week on The Sci-Fi Movie Podcast, Jonathan and Rem are joined by Bonnie from TableTop Setup and Mr. Blahg from Under The Comic Covers to dig deeper into the three 'The Thing' movies, based on the 1938 Novella 'Who Goes There?', written by John W. Campbell Jr. The PositiveAll three films succeed in different ways to tell a creepy story of an Alien invader who literally absorbs and imitates its victims. The first version in 1951 strays somewhat from the original story, but presents a story with strong dialogue, good character development and leaves the viewer with a sense of optimism once the credits roll. John Carpenter's version from 1982 goes into much darker material with gore and creature effects that still make a lasting impression. Carpenter also built a strong sense of fear and paranoia, making it impossible to know who to trust. The 2011 Prequel gave us the backstory of the Norwegian station that was discovered by the crew of the 1982 version. Staying pretty close to the Alien from 82 and the Novella, we have slightly more Female representation in the roles of Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Kim Bubbs. The NegativeIt's difficult to feel any sense of fear of James Arness as The Thing in the 1951. Granted, it may have been terrifying in the 50's, but a big plant creature (described as an 'Intellectual Carrot') certainly won't be scaring anyone. Since the film is over 60 years old, we can forgive that. It was tougher to find fault with the Carpenter version, since it told the story so well, and really swung for the fence with creature effects. Mr. Blahg didn't like MacReady's hat...so there's that. With the 2011 Prequel, we thought the end sequence at the Alien craft was a bit Hollywood, and the story would have been best resolved at the Norwegian camp, but again not much wrong here. The VerdictWe all agreed that the 82 and 2011 should be watched, the 82 is certainly required viewing, and the 2011 will give good background on the events that transpired before the 82. You can watch in either order. Mr. Blahg and Bonnie suggest watching the 2011 and then go back to the 82. We all concluded that the 1951 can be watched for fun, but it's not essential.

Listener Feedback Jennifer RobertsonI have not seen the first, and I barely remember the remake. But the Carpenter version I love. Being a horror and sci-fi fan, I love it when the 2 are blended successfully, but they are not often as successfully fused as they are in this version of The Thing. Rewatching the movie for the podcast I was impressed that although old, it is not any less watchable because of it's age. The tension is there, the atmosphere is there, and Wilford Brimley is there.Too often horror tries to set itself in a sci-fi environment, with disastrous results that just come off as cheesy and very weak. While these disasters are almost an insult to true sci-fi fans, please understand that for us horror fans it is nice to have the catalyst of a story NOT be from the bible, a burial ground, an eclipse, a curse or a crypt….sometimes having the monster come from outer space is a refreshing change, even if the science part of the fiction is bad.It was interesting to see the interaction between the men in the group once the fear and mistrust set in. I think when horror is done well it strips us down to our core, to our primal emotions and selves, not our contrived “civilized” selves and in that sense it can complement the mirror on humanity that good sci-fi does so well (to quote you guys!!). Mike GorhamI have never seen the original sadly. I thought the prequel was done very well even with the CGI syncing up to the Carpenter movie. The Thing is my favorite movie. Its a shame we won't see a sequel from Carpenter. The PS2 sequel game did a great job telling a story and Carpenter(quite the gamer himself) even said the game is a perfectly sequel so he won't make one himself Kevin McVeyI've only seen the Carpenter version but I think it is one of the best horror films and a very underrated film in general. Many things stand out in this film for me: think the special effects are some of the best EVER in a movie because they have not aged at all. Even after 33 years the visuals look (to me) as good as they did when I saw the film 15 years ago Nick JensenI have not seen the original, interested to hear your opinion of it, but Carpenter's The Thing is a classic and one of the best sci-fi movies around; definitely an essential. When you think of sci-fi/horror movies The Thing and Alien are the movies that come to mind, and the suspense and tension that Carpenter builds in this movie is amazing. I liked the idea of the prequel explaining what happened prior to Carpenters movie, but I never got around to seeing it, I hope it doesn't ruin any of Carpenters work and eager to hear if you recommend watching it. I have read the story this was based on, 'Who Goes There?' by John Campbell, and recommend it if you're interested in the source material for these films. Can't wait to hear your thoughts! Seth HeasleyI actually like all three. The first is a very 50s version, the Carpenter film is fantastic with all those gorious (not a typo) effects, and the third one, while not a great film, hit some of the same beats without taking anything away from the Carpenter version. Michael SimshauserI've seen all three and I can recommend two out of the three. The 1951 version is a Science Fiction classic with all the pitfalls of being a 50s SciFi movie but being one of the first of that decade. The 1982 version is one of the only movies I can think of where the remake is better than the original. From Carpenters direction, Ennio Morricone's haunting score, Rob Bottin's great effects and fantastic cinematography by Dean Cundey it all comes together as a masterpiece, that was unfortunately released at the same time as ET. This movie is the pinnacle of Science Fiction/Thriller/Horror and is absolutely essential viewing. Doug FergusonHaven't seen the 50's version, but I've seen the other two. The 80's version is the clear winner, but I also feel that the 2011 one is dismissed too quickly. It's actually a pretty decent prequel to John Carpenter's version.You guys should dig up the video of the practical effects they were initially going to use for this latest version. They looked incredible and I think it's a shame that they opted out for standard CGI. Wasn't bad CG, but those original effects were incredible and in the same vein as the 1982 movie. Would have linked them up better in my opinion. Thanks to Doug Ferguson for the link to a clip on the creating of some of the creatures... Josh AdamsI haven't seen the original, but Carpenter's version is still my favorite horror movie. I still have a hard time watching it for whatever reason. I actually really enjoyed the prequel as well. It's not nearly on the same level as the 1982 film, but still very moody and jarring. It doesn't hurt that Mary Elizabeth Winstead is in it. Oh my. Ton de WitteSeen all three, the best in my opinion is the 82 version. The 82 version was of course a remake of the first version but added stuff and changed enough to make it a far better and original movie. The first version is a good movie but a true child of its time with an arrogant scientist and other things of the era. The 2011 movie is almost a step by step remake of the 82 one even if the lead is female this time. This does not mean it is a bad movie and it has a few original things but it doesn't have the surprises of the 82 version if you saw that one first. I did like that the 2011 version stops where the 82 began. Overall I would rank them 82, original, 2011. 82 and original are essential viewing 2011 is not essential but still an enjoyable movie.Jordan Bonaparte from The Night Time Podcast (http://nighttimepodcast.com/)I'm a huge fan of Carpenter's #TheThing , had no idea it was based on a book/ prior movie #Mindblown now I got weekend plans! Tony ArnoldiSecond was the best! Heather McAlendin-KendallWatched all three. I enjoyed the 82 version the best but certainly got a charge out of the original for it's time period it was entertaining.

Back To The Future reference. This week we go back to a better time. It's morning in America, right? Hold on. Were the 1980's not as awesome as that quiz made you think they were? At least the 1950's were awesome, right? No? There were horrible problems then? But then what are those baby boomers so excited about all the time? Where we are going you don't need nostalgia. Mark Colomb probably loves this movie too much. Mel Evans sort of remembers it. Lots of questions and comments about Back to the Future 2 which we didn't watch this show. An Hour With Your Ex is a Chicago based podcast hosted by Chicago writers and performers Mel Evans and Mark Colomb. Back To The Future is a film from 1985. Robert Zemeckis, Bob Gale, Dean Cundey, Huey Lewis, Michael J. Fox, and more. Along with Star Wars one of the most picked apart pieces of pop culture. This last bit is for SEO. The show this week was sponsored by Cards Against Humanity. They asked us not to read an ad.
Autumn may be upon us, but at Mousterpiece Cinema HQ, Gabe and Josh are still a bit hot under the collar. If you were satisfied with last week's heated debate of the career of cinematographer-turned-director Dean Cundey, then you are in for a treat with the new episode of the show. Your dynamic duo enter the world of direct-to-DVD sequels once again, but back in animation with The Return of Jafar, the Patient Zero of the Disney direct-to-DVD sequel. Is this return to the world of Aladdin not as bad as people presume it is? Is it worse? Does Gilbert Gottfried sing in this movie? And how heated must the discussion be if Josh wonders if it's time for a new co-host? (Don't worry, Gabe's job is safe. FOR NOW.) Get ready for a thrilla in...Agrabah, folks. Check out the new show now!
Dean returns in Part II-> We discuss the challenges of Roger Rabbit not existing on location- to getting some assistance from the Oval Office to solve pesky gravity problems on a certain spaceship set. In-between, we breakdown some select scenes of the greatest Trilogy ever about a time-traveling teen and his friend the 'Doc.
The summer's just about over, and one of our unintentional summer mini-series is about to come to close. This week on Mousterpiece Cinema, Josh and Gabe wade into the world of direct-to-video sequels once more, but with a twist: this one's a live-action DTV sequel. Yes, they're closing out the Rick Moranis-led trilogy of wacky sci-fi comedies about shrinking and enlargening people, with a discussion of Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves. (Don't you just hate it when that happens?) But seeing as the film was directed by the prolific cinematographer Dean Cundey, Josh and Gabe go on quite the tangent about his career with Steven Spielberg, Robert Zemeckis, and John Carpenter, among others. If you've wanted to hear a good old-fashioned argument between your hosts, then, friend, this one's the episode for you!
