Podcast appearances and mentions of John Carpenter

Science Fiction University returns at long last, with an extended deep dive into one of the oldest and most unsettling questions in the genre — who can you trust when the threat is wearing a human face? The episode traces the theme of trust through three very different versions of the same story: John W. Campbell's 1938 novella "Who Goes There?", Howard Hawks' 1951 Cold War-era adaptation "The Thing from Another World", and John Carpenter's 1982 masterpiece "The Thing" — showing how the same basic plot was transformed by the very different Americas that produced each version. Along the way there are detours through the nature of storytelling itself, the difference between trust and faith, the rise of the "mad scientist" trope, and why Carpenter's bleak, exhausted ending hits so differently than Campbell's optimistic one. If you've ever wondered why the 1982 version of The Thing feels so much more modern and unsettling than its predecessors, this episode will explain exactly why — and the answer has everything to do with Vietnam, Watergate, and the slow collapse of American institutional trust.  Links for this episode: John W. Campbell's book/novella "Who Goes There?" (1938) is available from major ebook retailers.  Also, many libraries offer a physical or digital borrowing option.  "The Thing from Another World" (1951) is currently streaming on Criterion Channel, Tubi, The Roku Channel, YouTube, Amazon, and Apple TV."The Thing" (1982) is currently streaming on Amazon Prime, Apple TV, and YouTube. Answers to our QUIZ!  Terminator 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZ8nofcN1gI Dr. Who: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQvn5sWNVtk Star Trek – Picard:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsDg01EuniQ Batman Audio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a71VqHpza58 The Thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmqVrB1TTGo Stay in Touch! Email: proleftpodcast@gmail.com Website: proleftpod.com Support via Patreon: patreon.com/proleftpod or Donate in the Venmo App @proleftpodMail: The Professional Left, PO Box 9133, Springfield, Illinois, 62791Support the show

Horror history spirals into paranoia and infection this week—from The Thing's frozen body horror to 28 Days Later's rage-virus chaos, The Omen's cursed bloodline, 1408's haunted hotel nightmare, and Quake's gothic digital terror. Henrique explores how June 22–28 birthed some of horror's most influential outbreak and supernatural films, dissecting what made them landmarks in horror legends and why they still feel dangerously relevant today.Inside this episode:• 1408 turns one hotel room into a psychological pressure cooker, trapping a skeptical writer inside a space that studies him, wounds him, and refuses to let him leave.• The Omen gives the evil-child movie one of its classiest and creepiest landmarks, with the Antichrist hiding behind privilege, elegance, and a terrifyingly calm little smile.• 28 Days Later drags outbreak horror into the 21st century with empty London streets, sprinting infected, digital grime, and the terrifying idea that civilization can collapse almost overnight.• Quake opens a slipgate into gothic castles, wet tunnels, shambling monsters, Lovecraftian dread, and a diseased industrial soundscape that helped reshape horror-tinged gaming.• The Deep-Cut Spotlight goes to The Thing, John Carpenter's 1982 alien paranoia nightmare about imitation, isolation, mistrust, Rob Bottin's legendary effects, and the terrifying question of who is still human.Plus: a horror birthday roll featuring Bruce Campbell, Peter Lorre, Isabelle Adjani, and Kathy Bates, a creepy look at how horror teaches us to distrust the obvious, and a weekly recommendation for Twilight Zone: The Movie, the complicated 1983 anthology film that brought Rod Serling's nightmare world to the big screen.From haunted rooms and Antichrist children to rage-infected streets, gothic gaming nightmares, Antarctic isolation, alien imitation, blood tests, body horror, and the cold collapse of trust, this week proves horror history can make monsters out of places, people, memories, machines, and the person standing right beside you.

Do you read Sutter Cane? Really? Name three albums! Sorry? He's a fictional novelist who is in contact with the Elder Gods who wish to retake the Earth and subject us to their dark dominion? Someone should make a movie about that. They did?!

John Carpenter explained it best. We're all seated around a campfire. The storyteller says, the evil is. . .out there and points into the darkness. That's external horror. Think Jaws, The Birds, Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Now same scenario but the storyteller says the evil is. . .in here and points to us, our own hearts. That's internal horror. Think Black Swan, Psycho, Twin Peaks etc. Secret Movie Club founder.programmer Craig Hammill talks about the interesting differences and rhymes between external and internal horror movies. And how, ultimately, most great horror movies are a combination of both. 

Circulation Clerk Christin Haws recommends her five favorite John Carpenter films.Transcript

Welcome to Sounds of Halloween Part 2: Halloween Music. What makes a song feel like Halloween? Is it monsters and ghosts in the lyrics, creepy sound effects, or something deeper hidden within the music itself? In this episode, we explore the fascinating history of Halloween music and the sounds that have become part of the season. From novelty classics like Monster Mash and Ghostbusters to the enduring popularity of Thriller, we look at how certain songs became Halloween traditions even when they were never written specifically for the holiday. We'll also dive into the legend of the "Devil's Interval," the supernatural folklore surrounding blues music, the rise of monster-themed novelty records in the 1950s and 1960s, and the horror movie soundtracks that forever changed the way we hear fear. Along the way, we'll uncover why certain notes, instruments, and musical techniques create feelings of suspense, mystery, and unease. Whether you're building the perfect Halloween playlist, decorating for the season, or simply curious about why some sounds make your skin crawl, this episode explores the ever-changing soundtrack of Halloween.

John Carpenter's Big Trouble in Little China  When I first saw John Carpenter's Big Trouble in Little China, it was a Pan & Scan VHS copy from my local video store. I immediately fell in love with one of the strangest and most imaginative films of the 1980s. The fourth collaboration between Horror icon, John Carpenter, and Disney legend Kurt Russell (doing an over the top and ridiculous parody of John Wayne), Big Trouble in Little China is a love letter to the Hong Kong Sword and Sorcery epics of the 60s, 70s, and 80s. With admitted and obvious inspiration from Tsui Hark's Zu Warriors from the Magic Mountain, Carpenter's fantasy swordplay epic would employ an almost entirely Asian-American cast led by Denis Dun as Wang Chi, Victor Wong as Egg Shen, and the great James Hong as David Lo Pan. This week Mr. Chavez & I discuss this movie with a focus on how the film stands up to charges of appropriation (lovingly created), Orientalism (questionable), and the White-Saviour trope (mislabeled). An American set, San Francisco and Chinatown comedy that lovingly and respectfully dives into the mythology of culture, history, and hero-making, John Carpenter's Big Trouble in Little China  is a comedy, that 40 years later, is as thrilling, funny, and exciting as it was when it premiered in the summer of 1986. Take a listen and see if we give this film a fair and balancecd review or if I'm simply too in love with my memories to be objective.

A small town undergoes a mysterious event where several women give birth to odd alien children who look like humans.The third week of the Kids Aren't Alright month brings in Village of the Damned for us to discuss. The 1995 John Carpenter remake of the 1960 movie stars Christopher Reeve and Kirstie Alley, and although it has a very interesting premise, doesn't deliver on the setup. While the movie is well acted, the second and third acts leave a lot to be desired with plotlines either going nowhere or being disappointing. However, there are some very interesting kills as these kids have mind control abilities forcing the parents and townspeople to die in bizarre ways.

Eu e o Adriano sentamos de novo naquele estúdio que ainda cheira a carpete novo para falar sobre uma coisa que, se você parar para pensar, é meio doentia: filmes onde pessoas morrem de formas criativas.O Adriano trouxe uma lista com dez filmes slasher. Eu percebi, enquanto ele falava, que o que me atrai nesses filmes não é a perfeição técnica. Na verdade, é quase o contrário. São as falhas, o baixo orçamento e aquela sensação de que o diretor estava tentando dizer algo muito sério com muito pouco dinheiro.Falamos sobre John Carpenter e Wes Craven, que são os nomes óbvios, mas também sobre Michael Haneke, que fez um filme que eu não sei se quero ver de novo, mas fico feliz que exista.No final, a gente ainda gastou um tempo considerável discutindo se Stanley Kubrick estava tentando nos avisar de algo em seu último filme antes de partir. E tem uma série polonesa sobre mandamentos bíblicos que o Adriano indicou e que parece ser a coisa mais triste e bonita que você vai ver este ano.Enfim. É só uma conversa. Se você tiver um tempo livre e quiser ouvir dois caras falando sobre o que faz um filme resistir ao tempo, o vídeo está aí. Se não tiver, eu entendo perfeitamente. A vida anda bem ocupada para todo mundo.

Imagine…travelling back to a time before the Internet…before Mountain Dew Livewire…and before the neo-post apocalypse…This Summer, Apocalypse Video asks the question: Where Were You In ‘82?The date is June 25th, 1982. Asia is feeling "the heat of the moment" as their self titled debut sits atop the album charts. And a film from John Carpenter is about to get under your skin...because Man is the warmest place to hide.The film...is The Thing. And it's about to reveal itself...now!I'm your host, Dave, and joining me as we spend the rest of this episode tied to this fucking couch is fellow cinephile and possible alien imitation, Ryan.Topics of discussion in this episode include the weak stomachs of audiences in 1982; we make a case for the inclusion of dogs in the Best Supporting Actor Oscar category; and finally, we pour one out for John Carpenter circa 1982 and what should have been immediately hailed as his masterpiece of horror.Be sure to rate, review and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. You can also Like Us on Facebook, Follow Us on Instagram, or shoot us an email at apocalypsevideopod@gmail.com And as the fires burn down and Ryan and I look into each other's eyes for clues of Thing-ieness, we must leave the frozen landscape of Antarctica behind and hop on our rocket propelled motorcycles as we prepare for the B movie disaster that is…Megaforce. Until then, don't trust anyone unless they've passed the blood test.

Le style dans l'écriture : question fondamentale et pourtant difficile à définir quand on débute. Au final, de quoi s'agit-il, exactement ? Comment le travailler quand on est seul·e devant son œuvre ? Lionel le définit comme comme une esthétique de la communication – esthétique qui est en soi communication également. En conséquence, le travail commence par une réflexion sur cette esthétique, laquelle est au service d'un effet ou d'un passage donné. Le style est le sujet favori d'Estelle ! Après avoir désamorcé les idées reçues, elle explique comment lire en écrivain·e, en donne un « pack de départ » complet et dense de références pour voir tout ce qu'il est possible d'accomplir sur le sujet. Mélanie propose que trouver son style, c'est affiner sa propre voix, ce qui se fait à force de reconstructions inconscientes d'œuvres auxquelles on s'expose, en littérature mais aussi dans tous les autres médias.

We're kicking off our new retrospective series, John Carpenter: The Shape of Dread, with a two-part look at ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13. This week, we examine the early life and formative influences of John Carpenter, tracking his upbringing and his time at the University of Southern California before he jumped into his second feature assignment. We break down the initial development of the script and how Carpenter adapted classic Western tropes for a contemporary, urban landscape. We also follow the production timeline through the logistics of securing financing and assembling the essential cast and crew, including the casting of Austin Stoker and Darwin Joston. Part 2 drops next week, covering the chaotic shoot and the film's enduring legacy.

In a special interview, Will chats with Gary Goldman, the screenwriter of 1986's cult classic Big Trouble in Little China. The setting of Gary's original story was very different than what we saw onscreen. Is there a future for this tale of ancient Chinese mysticism set in the Old West?Over the last several decades, Gary has written, produced, and otherwise improved a number of successful Hollywood films, including Total Recall, Minority Report and Basic Instinct. He's worked for every major film studio and collaborated on projects with directors Steven Spielberg, Paul Verhoven, John Carpenter, James Cameron, and Ridley Scott.0:00 - Introduction0:55 - InterviewFollow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/1980snow.Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@1980snow

Halloween III is undeniably one of, if not the most divisive film in the Halloween franchise. While some hail it as the best in show and the realisation of John Carpenter's original plan to make the Halloween movies an anthology of terror. Others feel it is a poor sequel that offers nothing to the franchise and should not be included when talking about these movies. Today's episode gives you both of these opinions as we thrash out what we loved and hated about the film. We cover Dan, alcoholic womaniser or divorced Dr living his best life? How did they get that stone from the UK to the US? Why do they ooze orange juice? and most importantly, why don't we have more movies like this? We also have 3 word reviews from our fabulous listeners and an interactive Halloween game that just adds to Marc's annoyance.Be sure to leave us a review wherever you can!

Widow's Bay Editors – Isaac Hagy, ACE; Kyle Reiter, ACE and Jen Bryson The editors of Widow's Bay may not live on a cursed New England island, but after years of working together across shows like Atlanta, Station Eleven and Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Isaac Hagy, Kyle Reiter and Jen Bryson have developed the kind of shared creative history that makes them feel right at home in one. Created by Katie Dippold for Apple TV, Widow's Bay stars Matthew Rhys as Tom Loftis, the skeptical mayor of a strange little island town where the locals believe the place is cursed. Tom would very much like to turn Widow's Bay into a thriving tourist destination. Unfortunately, the island has other ideas. The series also stars Kate O'Flynn, Stephen Root, Kingston Rumi Southwick, Kevin Carroll and Dale Dickey. For Isaac, Kyle and Jen, the show was another chance to reunite with longtime collaborator Hiro Murai and post producer Kaitlin Waldron. Isaac's creative relationship with Hiro goes back nearly twenty years, starting with no-budget music videos before eventually leading to Atlanta. Kyle joined that extended creative family through Kaitlin Waldron and Atlanta, while Jen came up through the same post team, beginning as a post PA before eventually moving into the editor's chair. In our interview, the editors talk about how the show was first described to them as something close to "ten episodes of Teddy Perkins," with additional reference points including Jaws, John Carpenter films, Stephen King stories and the specific textures of rural coastal New England. The island itself was designed to feel contemporary, but also strangely out of time — a place without cell phones, without modern comforts, and possibly without a sensible tourism strategy. ISAAC HAGY, ACE Isaac Hagy, ACE is an editor whose work includes the feature films Waves and The Friend, as well as television series such as Atlanta, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Station Eleven, American Vandal, Chef's Table and Sirens. He has received multiple Emmy and ACE nominations for his work, including recognition for Atlanta and Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Across his work in television and film, Isaac has helped shape stories that blend tonal precision, visual invention and deeply character-driven editing. KYLE REITER, ACE Kyle Reiter, ACE is an editor whose credits include Atlanta, Barry, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Station Eleven and Black Rabbit. A multiple Emmy nominee, Kyle won an ACE Eddie Award for his work on Atlanta. His editing work spans comedy, drama, surrealism and genre storytelling, often finding the rhythm between deadpan humor, emotional honesty and unexpected tonal shifts. JEN BRYSON Jen Bryson is an editor whose credits include Atlanta, Mr. & Mrs. Smith and Sirens. After years of working with the post team connected to Hiro Murai, Kaitlin Waldron, Isaac Hagy and Kyle Reiter, Jen moved from post production assistant work into assistant editing and then into the editor's chair. Her work reflects a sharp eye for performance, character detail and the delicate balance between comedy, tension and emotional truth.   Visit ExtremeMusic for all your production audio needs.

When Where Were You In ‘82 returns, we'll be amping up the paranoia and practical fx with John Carpenter's The Thing.

This week on Cinema Shock, we're beginning our deep dive into the master of genre cinema with John Carpenter: The Shape of Dread. To set the stage, we're throwing it back to an episode from April 2021, where we originally analyzed DARK STAR through the lens of its co-writer, special effects designer, and lead actor, Dan O'Bannon. We're dissecting the brilliant, low-budget ingenuity required to get this movie off the ground, analyzing how Carpenter's atmospheric scoring and structural pacing first mixed with O'Bannon's cynical, comedic sensibilities. We explore the film's unique legacy — a bridge between the utopian sci-fi of the late 60s and the gritty, blue-collar cosmic dread that would define the late 70s. Join us as we look back at the origins of a legendary cinematic partnership, the absurdity of the "Thermostellar Bomb," and the very beginning of John Carpenter's filmography.

Horror has always managed to do well at the box office. The way of thinking has always been since the movies are so cheap to make, it is easy to profit of of them. This year has been especially good, with indie horror doing a lot of the heavy lifting. It is clear there is a lesson to learn from this, but will Hollywood learn the right one. (Spoiler alert: no.) Zack Snyder is one of the most polarizing directors around today. That takes in a lot of territory since pretty much everything fits that description nowadays. We talk about his latest project and why we are interested in it. Does this make us Snyderbros? Chum does not reinvent the wheel, but it does not have to. It is a simple revenge story filled with some of the best shark attacks we have ever seen on this show. We talk about the use of AI and how less can sometimes be more. A great sharksploitation movie is more than just a kick ass shark, however. It is not a question of how poor the writing in Chum is; the question is does it ruin all the good the rest of the movie does.

Welcome back to Science Faction, where this week we cover everything from Disney trips and dying handheld consoles to exploding rockets, prestige television, and one of the most unsettling science fiction stories ever written. Steven is preparing for an upcoming Disney adventure and is especially excited to introduce his nephew to Galaxy's Edge. The kid's current obsessions are droids and starships, which means Disney has essentially engineered an entire section of the park specifically to drain Steven's wallet. Devon wrestles with the chaos that comes with family trips, navigating in-law logistics and the impossible task of fitting too many events into a single day. He also takes a moment to recommend comedian Josh Adam Meyers, whose visit to Devon's hometown left quite an impression. Meanwhile, Ben says goodbye to his foster kittens, affectionately known as "the captains," and reflects on their departure. To distract himself from the sadness, he gives us a fascinating history lesson on the WonderSwan, Bandai's handheld gaming system that briefly challenged Nintendo's dominance in Japan. In Future or Now, Ben dives into the recent failure of Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket and why industry experts view the incident as potentially catastrophic for the company. Beyond the loss of a vehicle, concerns center around damage to launch infrastructure and the enormous delays that can follow major launch pad failures. We also spend time discussing For All Mankind, with Ben currently watching the first season alongside his child while also keeping up with the latest season. The conversation turns to the show's increasingly tense alternate-history storytelling, particularly its depiction of Star City. Ben also highlights Becky Chambers' upcoming novella, As You Wake, Break the Shell, which immediately caught the attention of science fiction fans. Devon joins the For All Mankind discussion and branches out into several other shows. We talk about the gleeful brutality of The Boys and the unusual premise of Widow's Bay on Apple TV+, which Devon describes as feeling like Parks and Recreation collided headfirst with a Stephen King novel. Steven mostly enjoys the ride this week, contributing commentary while the conversation bounces between exploding rockets, television recommendations, and speculative fiction. For Book Club, we begin by announcing next week's story, The Stars Look Away From This Vessel by Dave Ring. The story opens with a wonderfully strange description of how to draw a spaceship, setting the tone for what promises to be a memorable piece of science fiction. This week's discussion focuses on The Things by Peter Watts, a modern classic that retells the events of John Carpenter's The Thing from the perspective of the alien itself. The story radically reframes the film's events, transforming what appeared to be a horrifying monster into something far more complicated and tragic. We discuss the unforgettable line, "I am being Blair. I escape out the back as the world comes in through the front," and examine how Watts uses the alien's perspective to challenge assumptions about identity, communication, and survival. Naturally, comparisons to The Thing (1982) dominate the discussion, while we mostly leave the 2011 prequel out in the cold where it belongs.

Get Me Another celebrates the 40th anniversary of one of our favorite movies, John Carpenter's martial arts-fantasy-comedy BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA. We'll explore the history and making of this 1986 film starring Kurt Russell as a truck driver who finds himself way over his head in a world of magic, mythology and monsters as well as discuss the qualities that have made it such an enduring cult classic.  Just remember... it's all in the reflexes.
