Hi there, friends! It's the third and final part of our "The Thing" series. And we're finally going back to 1982 to talk about the classic, John Carpenter's "The Thing", starring Kurt Russell. This one is a daunting movie to discuss, as we know there are a lot of huge fans of it, plus it's been talked about a ton on other podcasts. So we did our best to talk about it in the fun and loving way we try to talk about all the movies we watch. We also talk about a new horror store that recently opened in Burbank, Killer Fitness. And of course, stay tuned until the end to hear what Andrew chose for our next movie!"The Thing" is the second adaptation of John W. Campbell's novella, "Who Goes There?" It's a closer adaptation than the 1951 movie, retaining the alien's ability to imitate any living thing it comes in contact with, and how the men at Outpost 51 deal with it.Feel free to send us a message!

The film writer Meg Shields returns to the podcast from Vancouver for a show to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Tobe Hooper's schlock sci-fi horror masterpiece, Lifeforce.Cannon Films' big swing for the fences, Lifeforce had an astronomical budget for the time, with huge practical sets, hundreds of extras and innovative special effects from the great John Dykstra including massive miniature work and cutting-edge optical effects, all in the service of a bonkers tribute to Hammer horror. The runaway production was a cocaine-and-Dr Pepper-fueled vision of naked space vampires hiding in Halley's Comet (led by the beautiful Mathilda May) who arrive on Earth and unleash havoc on the city of London.We discuss 1955's The Quatermass Xperiment and 1967's Quatermass and The Pit, huge influences on John Carpenter and Tobe Hooper, before diving into the madness of Lifeforce, rejected by audiences in 1985 and setting off the eventual collapse of Cannon Films. We also compare the two cuts of the movie (as the American distributor Tri-Star changed the title from Space Vampires and shortened their version by 10 minutes against the director's will) and how this crazy movie has stood the test of time to become a cult favourite.Over 30% of all Junk Filter episodes are only available to patrons of the podcast.

Boys and ghouls, allow me to tell you about the mad doctor who injects himself with an experimental serum, turning the scientist into a hideous monster that terrorizes a hospital. This twisted tale is from the mind of Richard Lyford, a 19-year-old indie filmmaker in Seattle, who wrote, directed and starred in the short horror film The Scalpel. But he wasn’t influenced by horror legends like John Carpenter or Wes Craven or George Romero. No, The Scalpel was filmed in 1936, and film historians considered it lost for almost 90 years. It’s now been restored and re-edited, and been accepted to more than 150 film festivals throughout the country.

La cosa, la cosa del otro mundo, el enigma del otro mundo o The Thing es una de las obras maestras de John Carpenter, y sin duda una de las películas más icónicas de terror y ciencia ficción, tuvo una producción bastante problemática y sobre todo le dió un poquito de cáncer de piel al mismo Carpenter.Sin éxito en su lanzamiento, pero gracias al VHS, se convirtió en una película icónica del cine de los 80's y de la historia del cine.Discusión: 00:00Patrocinador 36:42Noticias 38:19Síguenos en Facebook, Instagram y TikTok y escúchanos en las diferentes plataformas: https://linktr.ee/nerdifymx¡Crea tu podcast hoy! #madeonzencastr.

This was originally a MIGsy Film Club episode and is being added to the Mind In the Gutter feed to complete our Final Destination coverage. From the original: Every year around Halloween Josh convinces Christine to watch a couple of spooky movies.

After years of waiting, the GBGBs finally review Ryan's favorite movie, THE THING (1982)! Directed by John Carpenter, The Thing stars Kurt Russell as a stoic research scientist trapped in an Antarctic base with a shapeshifting alien that is violently assimilating his coworkers. Hijinks ensue, and somehow multiple WWII flamethrowers get involved. We've also heard rumors that one of us is an assimilated Thing alien. We would like to publicly refute those rumors and assure our audience that gloopity schlorp glorp squelch SKREEEEEE Thanks for stopping by!
Send us a textThis week on Entertain This!, Hayden, Mitch, and Tom boldly venture into the cinematic fever dream that is John Carpenter's Big Trouble in Little China. We're talking about a movie where the hero is arguably the sidekick, ancient Chinese magic involves lightning bolts and floating heads, and the true protagonist might just be Kurt Russell's unparalleled confidence in the face of utter bewilderment. Join us as we try to unpack how this glorious, nonsensical masterpiece manages to be simultaneously one of the greatest action-comedies ever made and a solid argument for why truck drivers should probably stick to driving trucks. We'll dissect Lo Pan's surprisingly convoluted evil plan and ponder whether Jack Burton ever actually understood what was going on. So, buckle up, grab your own questionable beverages, and prepare for a deep dive into the reflex-fueled chaos. At the end of it all, we'll ask you: Did Big Trouble in Little China...

In 1996, the world of video gaming was forever changed by the release of Capcom's “survival horror” masterwork “Resident Evil” on the Sony PlayStation. In fact, the term “survival horror”, now a common-place name for a subgenre of horror gaming, was originated by “Resident Evil”.Survival horror itself can be defined as a genre of video games with a focus on surviving in a threatening, often supernatural or disturbing environment, with an emphasis on a more vulnerable central character, tension, limited resources and combat as a last resort.Sound like a vast number of great horror games that have come since the original “Resident Evil”?Whether it's the steeped in atmospheric dread of the “Silent Hill” franchise, the cosmic Lovecraftian terror of the “Dead Space” games, the nerve-frying corridors of the “Amnesia” series or the Stephen King-esque small town horror of “Alan Wake” and its sequel, the influence of “Resident Evil” has played a pivotal role in forming horror gaming. In this episode I am joined by the stars of the most recent “Resident Evil” games. They have taken the three most iconic characters of the franchise and not only made them their own, but also brought real gravity and psychological complexity that has helped redefine the series and what we thought we could expect from it.Welcome Nicole Tompkins who plays Jill Valentine in the “Resident Evil 3” reimaging and the animated film “Resident Evil: Death Island” as well as Daniela Dimitrescu and Elena in “Resident Evil Village”, Jeff Schine who plays Carlos in the “Resident Evil 3” reimagining and Chris Redfield in “Resident Evil Village” and Nick Apostolides who plays Leon Kennedy in the reimagining's of “Resident Evil 2” and “Resident Evil 4” as well as the TV mini-series “Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness”.We discuss their approaches to adapting these legacy characters, the indelible imprint of the franchise, how it's not as different from film acting as some may think, as well as their most requested line readings. Let's explore the dangers of Raccoon City and beyond, survive a world of endless zombies and undead Doberman's, expose shadowy secret evil organizations and visit a village of crazed occultist with Nicole Tompkins, Jeff Schine and Nick Apostolides! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
When 49-year-old former sitcom star Bob Crane was found murdered in 1978, detectives quickly honed in on their one and only suspect: Bob's friend and confidant, John Carpenter. It took years to finally bring John to trial, but when they did — there wasn't enough evidence to convict him. To this day, Bob Crane's murder remains unsolved.

This week on Film Detectives, we dive into two wildly different yet thematically connected sci-fi cult classics: Capricorn One (1977) and Dark Star (1974). One is a gripping government conspiracy thriller about a faked Mars landing, the other a low-budget, absurdist space odyssey with a talking bomb and existential dread. We unpack the paranoia, satire, and societal mistrust that fuel both films, and explore how they reflect 1970s skepticism toward authority, the space race, and media manipulation. From Peter Hyams' tense realism to John Carpenter's surreal humor, these films might seem worlds apart—but they're both brilliant time capsules of cinematic rebellion. Buckle up for deep cuts, behind-the-scenes trivia, and our take on why these forgotten gems still matter today.

You get arguably Carpenter's last great film.Please rate and review us, it's always appreciated. And of course... stay safe out there tonight.follow us:@scaringsampod

In this episode we're spotlighting a particular film rather than an individual guest. A film I think is so far, one of 2025's best horror offerings. I'm going to get a little Cryptkeeper here kiddies and tell you that this demonic offering is about a clairvoyant therapist who soon discovers there may be more to her most recent client than she bargained for when horrific happenings begin haunting her and her daughter. It's a nerve frying, reality shattering yarn titled “It Feeds” and is available now on streaming after a limited theatrical release. Joining me to discuss the film are writer/director Chad Archibald ("I'll Take Your Dead", "The Heretics") and stars Ashley Greene (the "Twilight" saga, "Burying the Ex") and Shawn Ashmore ("The Ruins" "Frozen").Let's dig into “It Feeds”, a world of nightmares and illusions! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

HOUR ONE: It's rumored that an arcade game from 1980 might lead to the real death of its players. We'll look at the death curse of Berzerk. (The Berzerker Death Curse, And The Polybius Urban Legend) *** And another arcade game in the early 80s was surrounded by controversy – because the game never existed, despite so many saying it did. Or did it exist? We'll look at the urban legend of Polybius. (The Urban Legend of Polybius)==========HOUR TWO: Was Stanley Stiers the real-life inspiration for Michael Myers in 1978's John Carpenter film, “Halloween?” (The Real Michael Myers) *** The last known words of Peter Rugg were “Let the storm increase! I will see home tonight in spite of the last tempest, or I may never see home!" Over two-hundred years later and he has yet to make it home – but that hasn't stopped his tempest! (The Eternal Ride of Peter Rugg) *** Imagine attending college for several years, only to find out that the whole time you've been studying on top of the corpses of thousands of mental patients. That's exactly what happened in 2013 when The University of Mississippi made plans to expand parking for their students and staff. (The Corpses Under The University of Mississippi) *** Dealing with a ghost or two is awful enough – but what if you're attacked by a whole gang of ghouls? It was reported as real news in 1889's Chicago Tribune! (A Whole Gang O' Ghosts) *** People With Super Powers!==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: Michael Bryson disappeared on August 5th, 2020 from Hobo Campground at Umpqua National Forest. He has yet to be found. (The Disappearance of Michael Bryson) *** When it comes to cryptids, you have many to choose from – Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, the chupacabra, the list goes on and on. But I'm willing to bet nowhere on the list of your favorite cryptids, or even the cryptids you've ever heard of, do you have an entry for “The Belled Buzzard” of Texas. (The Belled Buzzard Legend) *** When the Black Plague arrived at Eyam's doorstep in the 17th century, its villagers were forced to choose between life or certain doom. It's the tragic tale of England's Plague Village.

Tabitha! We're talking about another Stephen King adaptation with John Carpenter's workman-like take on Christine (1983). It's "shitty teen boys, the movie" as we discuss toxic masculinity and male entitlement, Arnie and Dennis' homoeroticism, and the film's inability to name its female lead. Plus: book to film comparisons, debate about Arnie's complicity, lamenting the thin characterizations, and a "King adaptations of the 80s" game! Questions? Comments? Snark?
