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.

The boys' nihilism continues in Post-Apocalypse Films Week 2. In this episode, they babble away about government-collapse flicks, including, dear God, another Kevin Costner swing-and-miss, The Postman, and John Carpenter's Escape from LA. What a duo...

It's all in the reflexes! This week on Cocktails & Classics, we're taking a wild ride with the 1986 John Carpenter masterpiece, "Big Trouble in Little China." Join us as we break down the bumbling charm of Jack Burton, the mystical underworld of Lo Pan, and the genre-bending brilliance of this cult classic. Shake up a drink and join the adventure! Don't miss this deep dive into 80s movie gold.TOPICS: The Jack Burton Paradox: Why a "hero" who is constantly out of his depth works so well.Carpenter's Genre Fusion: Discussing the blend of martial arts, supernatural fantasy, and 1980s American action.80s Practical Magic: How the film's unique look and "bizarre scenarios" hold up today.Behind the Scenes: Kurt Russell's performance vs. the "hero" archetype, and the film's legacy as a misunderstood box-office bomb that became a cult phenomenon.

The beginning of any month now seems like a light week for physical media, so Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski only have a few titles to talk about. They include the magnificent starpower of Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn in a comically Hitchcockian caper. Jack Nicholson does much more than order in a diner. There's an early LBGTQ film from William Friedkin and the financially successful but creatively bankrupt attempt at a live-action cartoon. Plus a new extensive documentary on John Carpenter's 1982 horror masterpiece tells you everything you wanted to know and then some.1:47 - Criterion (Charade (4K), Five Easy Pieces (4K))24:00 -- Cinematographe (The Boys in the Band 4K)33:16 - CreatorVC (The Thing Expanded)48:51 - Shout (The Flintstones (4K))1:04:55 - New TV on Blu-ray (Covert Affairs: The Complete Series, Doctor Who (2025): Season Two, The Creep Tapes (Season Two))1:09:14 - New Theatrical Titles on Blu-ray (Hoppers (4K), Protector)1:10:28 - New Blu-ray AnnouncementsCLICK ON THE FILMS TO RENT OR PURCHASE AND HELP OUT THE MOVIE MADNESS PODCAST OR BUY FROM MOVIEZYNGBe sure to check outErik's Weekly Box Office Column – At Rotten TomatoesCritics' Classics Series – At Elk Grove Cinema in Elk Grove Village, ILChicago Screening Schedule - All the films coming to theaters and streamingPhysical Media Schedule - Click & Buy upcoming titles for your library.(Direct purchases help the Movie Madness podcast with a few pennies.)Erik's Linktree - Where you can follow Erik and his work anywhere and everywhere.The Movie Madness Podcast has been recognized by Million Podcasts as one of the Top 100 Best Movie Review Podcasts as well as in the Top 60 Film Festival Podcasts and Top 100 Cinephile Podcasts.

Paul and Shaun are back to continue our look at the films of John Carpenter. Now it's time to discuss his film that has the biggest dichotomy between opinions when it first came out and opinions now: The Thing. Do the guys agreee with any of the complaints from 1982 or do they think this movie is a dead-on classic (spoilers for the episode but the film is a masterpiece)? And what makes it so perfect, anyway?

In this episode of the Fan2Fan Podcast, Bernie and Pete count down their top monster picks across classic Universal horror, kaiju legends, and beyond. From the Creature from the Black Lagoon to Godzilla and Anguirus, they highlight the creatures that left a lasting mark on them.

Call me Snake. Okay, well, that's too cool for me, so just make it Ryan. Either way, this 739th episode gets into the night life and action frenzy that is John Carpenter's Escape From New York. Kurt Russell was already establishing himself as something more than just a Disney kid, then his signature role here cemented it. The eclectic Van Cleef/Borgnine/Harry Dean supporting cast surrounding Russell is effective, but the production design, cinematography, music and other technicals in this dystopian sci-fi bleakness are the drawing card. Carpenter was cynical, yet so underrated in his time...even compared to a top-of-his-game Spielberg in that same era. Now, is Escape From New York funny? Maybe not (partly since it feels like this could actually happen), but it IS fun. So, even though everybody thinks you're dead, burst into the open-air prison that is Manhattan and save the president and his precious cassette tape. Cuz the name's Ellis.

Send us Fan MailTrust is the first thing to freeze in Antarctica. We sit down with Martin and Luke to break down John Carpenter's The Thing, the horror classic that turns a simple premise into pure psychological warfare: if a creature can perfectly imitate any person, how do you prove you're human without tearing your team apart?We talk through the film's most unforgettable set pieces, from the blood test sequence that weaponises silence and eye contact, to the jaw-dropping creature transformations that still look disturbingly real. Practical effects vs CGI becomes a big theme, because The Thing is a showcase of tactile, in-camera filmmaking: real breath in the air, real textures under harsh lighting, and that rare “how did they do that?” feeling modern horror often trades for faster cuts and digital shortcuts.From there we dig into why the paranoia works so well, how the creature manipulates the group with planted evidence and broken resources, and why the environment is more than a backdrop. The cold is an antagonist, the base is a trap, and the ending is a masterstroke of ambiguity that refuses to give easy answers. We also explore the movie's pop culture legacy, from contained thrillers like The Hateful Eight to the whole “impostor among us” blueprint that keeps showing up in film and TV.If you love horror movies, body horror, practical creature effects, or smart suspense filmmaking, hit play.

They also cover the boddy horror of the Brundlefly, the chaotic mayhem of Gremlins, and more.

This week, Zoë mailed a chunk of her hair to a stranger in Florida. For science. For journalism. For your benefit, really. The $60 hair sample test came back flagging her as "highly reactive" to 210 foods, including emu, ostrich egg, hot dog, and ground horse meat. Reader, she has not eaten ground horse meat in over a decade.The food sensitivity industry is a multi-billion-dollar grift built on real symptoms and fake frameworks. We trace it from 1906, when allergy was first defined as a real clinical thing, through the 1950s clinical ecology movement, through cytotoxic testing, IgG panels, electrodermal screening, and bio-resonance, and finally to the at-home hair test in your DMs. It's the same idea in different packaging every decade. Like a body-snatcher, but for grift. (We use a lot of John Carpenter references in this one.)Then Kylee walks through what the science actually says: the difference between IgE allergies, IgG sensitivities, and intolerances. What real diagnostic testing looks like (skin prick tests, blood panels, hydrogen breath tests, structured elimination diets with a professional). Why hair testing, IgG panels, and bio-resonance devices have no validated diagnostic mechanism. And why these tests disproportionately target women, who are statistically more likely to feel dismissed by their doctors and more likely to seek answers in the wellness market.We also get into why endurance athletes are uniquely vulnerable to this stuff. When your gut acts up during training, the wellness industry hands you a list of 210 foods to eliminate. Your sports dietitian hands you a fueling plan. Guess which one tends to lead to a stress fracture.The bottom line: your symptoms deserve a real answer. Don't let a hair test substitute for actual care.This episode is supported by:rabbit — Use code YOURDIETSUCKS10 for 10% off at runinrabbit.com Their trail line is genuinely the only running gear we actively look forward to wearing.Tailwind Nutrition — Use code YOURDIET20 for 20% off at tailwindnutrition.com.

As I started to look to 2026, I knew there was still more to cover in this series beyond what we hit upon in the five episodes last year in discussing authoritarianism in cinema. One of the richest genres doing that was science fiction which, coincidentally, is what led to my emphasis on the genre this year. With such a vast subject, there was only one choice to join me on this episode- the person who started this series with me, Jason from Binge Movies and The Slashers. This is probably the most obvious lineup we've had yet, but when you have movies like Fritz Lang's "Metropolis", John Carpenter's "They Live" and Paul Verhoeven's "Starship Troopers", you already have not just compelling films to watch, but a wealth of depth to cover. I hope you enjoy!

Today Matt, Todd, and would‑be companion Mike travel through spacetime and land in the Antarctic for the 6th serial of the 13th season of the classic BBC series Doctor Who.“Seeds of Doom” originally aired from January 31 to March 6, 1976, and if you're a fan of John Carpenter's The Thing, Howard Hawks' The Thing From Another World, or classic sci‑fi horror in general, you're going to feel right at home. This is one of the earliest and most effective examples of British TV doing icy paranoia and creeping body‑horror on a shoestring.Even if you only know Doctor Who from its 21st‑century resurgence starting with Christopher Eccleston, this story is anchored by perhaps the most iconic Doctor of all time: Tom Baker. His mix of alien aloofness and manic energy are as legend as his scarf is iconic.The adventure begins at a remote Antarctic research base where a mysterious seed pod is unearthed; one that quickly draws the attention of Harrison Chase, a criminally unhinged botanist / eco‑terrorist / millionaire played with comic‑villain perfection by Tony Beckley. And every great villain needs a henchman: John Challis delivers a Whit BIssell-winning performance clean sweep as Scorby; a man who looks like he was born to menace people in cold climates.Whether you're a longtime fan, a newcomer, or just someone who loves classic sci‑fi horror with a dash of British eccentricity, Seeds of Doom is one of the high points of the Tom Baker era. It's atmospheric, creepy, funny, and surprisingly intense, definitely one of our highest recommendations.

"Am I hallucinating *all* of this? You tell me it's all a dream." We get to the ultra-disco noir fever dream Eyes of Laura Mars with our resident Faye Dunaway expert and friend, Garrett Mitchell, this week. It's been a while since we've covered Miss Dunaway on the podcast, but she's truly one of the most iconic leading ladies of the 1970s, that all peaked with Irvin Kershner's thriller set in the backdrop of a gritty NYC in the fashion world. This movie might not be along the lines of 70s classics, but we're here to say it's a heck of a ride. With a story by John Carpenter and produced by Jon Peters, who bought the story with the idea of it being a star vehicle for his then-girlfriend Barbra Streisand at the time before it went to Dunaway, the film follows Laura Mars,  a fierce fashion photographer, as she develops an ability to see through the eyes of a killer. We talk about Faye's insane levels on display, René Auberjonois as some fun queer representation, Tommy Lee Jones's unibrow, and a secretly sexy Brad Dourif.   Thank you for listening, and don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review us on Apple Podcasts! www.patreon.com/moviesthatmadeusgay Facebook/Instagram: @moviesthatmadeusgay Bluesky: @MTMUGPod.bsky.social Scott Youngbauer: Twitter @oscarscott / Instagram @scottyoungballer Peter Lozano: Twitter/Instagram @peterlasagna Cover Art by Shaun Piela

Is a game only worth it if you can play it forever, or is "fun" enough? This week on The Inner Gamer, we're diving into the blood-soaked, synth-wave world of John Carpenter's Toxic Commando to see if this vehicle-combat hybrid is the perfect "popcorn game" for your squad.

Paul and Shawn are back, so it has to be time for another discussion of the films of John Carpenter. This time, the pair take on a real Carpenter classic along with the only sequel Carpenter ever directed: Escape from New York and Escape from L.A. As he loves to do, perverse Paul defends L.A. as, well, not terrible - especially in the new 4k remaster. Shawn kinda disagrees, which makes for some really fun discussion.

"Nobody... nobody trusts anybody now, and we're all very tired.”Producer/writer Josh Hyams joins hosts Andy Nelson and Pete Wright to discuss The Thing, directed by John Carpenter. When it opened in June 1982, audiences weren't ready for it—it bombed against E.T. and was widely dismissed, even as its atmosphere of paranoia played out on screen. Decades later it's considered a landmark of practical effects filmmaking and one of the great ensemble horror films ever made. Hyams—whose BAFTA-nominated Mr. Burton is now in US release—has loved this film since seeing it at an outdoor cinema in Greece as a child. He brings a filmmaker's eye to Rob Bottin's creature work, Morricone's bare and atmospheric score, and a film that, as he puts it, "draws you in, it doesn't patronize you—it is a grown-up, cerebral, well-told horror film that takes its time." Forty years on, it's earned every word of that.

Continuing with "50 Years of... 1976", I talk with Vancouver film and television critic Matthew Simpson about John Carpenter's second film Assault on Precinct 13. We discuss how the lean-and-mean action thriller uses a pulsing score, small character moments, and a faceless horde of killers to hook the audience and keep them for 90 minutes. We also talk about Carpenter's career, his clever tricks of revealing information on screen, and how radically different this film would be constructed if it were made today.

This week, we review Assault on Precinct 13 (1976), John Carpenter's gritty action-thriller that blends urban crime drama with siege-movie tension. Austin Stoker, Darwin Joston, and Laurie Zimmer star as a small group of strangers trapped inside a nearly abandoned Los Angeles police station as relentless gang members lay siege to the building. With dwindling ammunition, shifting alliances, and nowhere to run, the film becomes a tense battle for survival that helped define Carpenter's minimalist style and pulsing synth score.With its claustrophobic setting, morally grey anti-heroes, and slow-burn suspense, the film raises intriguing questions about loyalty, survival, and what happens when the thin line between law and outlaw disappears.Is Precinct 13 a safe haven… or just a waiting room for the inevitable shootout?

This week we're joined by our friend Jon Lee Brody of the That Was Pretty Scary podcast for a look at John Carpenter's last movie of the 1980s, They Live. In this evergreen social commentary, Carpenter presents a world very much like our own where the only class distinction is rich and poor and as it would turn out, the rich aren't even human. In They Live a homeless man with no name drifts into Los Angeles looking for work and stumbles into a conspiracy by an underground of the underclasses to fight back against the elite wealth class which rules the world with fantastic technology that keeps humanity asleep while hidden aliens loot the earth of its resources, leaving the rest of us poor and at one another's throats for what crumbs they afford us.

John Carpenter's Someone's Watching Me! (1978) is one of the most overlooked thrillers in his filmography, and this week on Cutting Deep into Horror, Henrique Couto and Rachael Redolfi dig into the tense, creepy made-for-TV shocker Carpenter made right before Halloween.The film stars Lauren Hutton, David Birney, and Adrienne Barbeau, and turns anonymous phone calls, apartment paranoia, and stalker dread into a slow-burn nightmare that still lands. The movie was produced by Warner Bros. Television and aired on NBC on November 29, 1978. In this episode, Henrique and Rachael get into why the movie works so well as a pre-Halloween Carpenter thriller, how it builds suspense out of invasive attention and helplessness, and why its made-for-TV roots actually sharpen the tension instead of softening it. They talk about Lauren Hutton's strong lead performance, Adrienne Barbeau's memorable supporting turn, the movie's stalking setup, its uneasy humor, and the way it taps into fears about privacy, vulnerability, and not being believed. They also explore why this one deserves a much bigger reputation among fans of 1970s horror, psychological thrillers, and John Carpenter deep cuts.Inside this episode:why Someone's Watching Me! feels like a missing link between Carpenter's early work and Halloweenhow the film turns phone harassment, surveillance, and apartment living into effective horrorwhy Lauren Hutton makes such a compelling leadthe importance of Adrienne Barbeau's Sophie and the film's unusually progressive character dynamics for 1978why the movie's TV-thriller format gives it a different but very effective rhythmhow Carpenter creates tension without needing nonstop violence or spectacleFilm details:Year: 1978Director: John CarpenterStarring: Lauren Hutton, David Birney, Adrienne BarbeauRuntime: 97 minutes  Where to watch (U.S., this week):Hoopla and available to rent or buy on Amazon Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home.

This week, Shat The Movies puts on the sunglasses and uncovers John Carpenter's They Live, the cult classic that turns Reagan-era paranoia into a full-blown alien conspiracy. Starring "Rowdy" Roddy Piper as a drifter who discovers the world is secretly controlled by skull-faced elites, this 1988 sci-fi satire pulls no punches—and barely bothers with subtlety. Gene and Big D dig into Carpenter's blunt-force messaging, Piper's surprisingly effective everyman performance, and the film's legendary alley fight that somehow goes on forever—and still works. Along the way, they debate whether They Live is brilliant social commentary or just an excuse to say "OBEY" as loudly as possible, break down the movie's anti-consumerist rage, and revisit one of the most iconic uses of sunglasses in film history. Is They Live a prophetic masterpiece or a one-note cult hit carried by vibes, fists, and aliens in business suits? Either way… they're here to chew bubblegum and podcast.
