We're back for another season of themed movies where this time, we're focusing on “Flops”! Get ready to lock your doors and check your blood, because this week on Shoot The Hostage, Dan and Sarah are diving deep into the icy paranoia of John Carpenter's 1982 masterpiece, The Thing! After 12 years of podcasting, Sarah's finally talking about what she calls her favourite movie of all time. No pressure! Expect the usual foul-mouthed fun as we dissect this creature feature classic, which was a big flop when it first hit cinemas in 1982. We'll be scratching our heads over why this cinematic gold – starring the magnificent Kurt Russell as R.J. MacReady, the moustache-less Wilford Brimley and the always-watchable Keith David didn't set the box-office alight. We'll be pondering whether the critical mauling at the time had anything to do with this box office bomb's frosty reception. In this episode, we'll be getting our teeth into: The insane practical effects by Rob Bottin (with a little un-credited help from Stan Winston) that still hold up better than most CGI sludge today. The film's return to the source material novella Who Goes There? and its relationship to the 1951 film The Thing from Another World. Was Carpenter's version a remake, a re-imagining, or something else entirely? The film's themes – is it a reflection of Cold War paranoia or something more akin to the AIDS epidemic of the early 80's? OF COURSE, we'll be arguing about that ending. Who's A THE THING! So, if you're a fan of movies that didn't do well at the box office but found their audience later, or if you just love a bit of John Carpenter brilliance, then strap in. We promise spoilers and swearing. You've been warned! Have you checked out the excellent podcast with Chris & Joel, Just The Thing?

This week we revisit a classic from 1990, the mind-bending sci-fi action epic Total Recall starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sharon Stone, directed by Paul Verhoeven, and with special make-up effects from the legendary Rob Bottin.

Movie Meltdown - Episode 640 This episode, Sam Drog returns as we try to wrap our heads around just how ahead of its time David Cronenberg's Videodrome truly was back in 1983. And as we plug into the network of idiots, we also bring up… the evolutionary chart of man, Mick Garris, American Ultra, Scanners, YouTube rabbit holes, The Franchise, Debbie Harry, a movie every night on the UHF channels, the rubber reality and all the latex, Robert Pattinson, a cyber doppelganger of ourselves, The Lawnmower Man, Canadian tax shelter horror movies, Stan Winston, Crash, moving meat on a skeleton, Marshall McLuhan, an electrified clay wall, just give in to the technology, Rob Bottin, incubating your gun, I'm just a monkey, Spider, taking a normal person to a weird movie, talking to the TV, manifold expanded, propaganda films, you got Jim Henson on one end and Rick Baker on the other, mechanical extensions of humanity, Personal Shopper, I gave you guys the best movie I knew how to make and you didn't show up,  shelter-in-place, the world is so big and overwhelming when I'm outside, Stephen Lack, being attached to our phones, we were so obsessed with super realistic puppets, you know a guy that works at the slaughterhouse that's all you need, when you take out the filter of humanity, the Ashton Kutcher of directors,  we're kind of like cyborgs, getting your fix of television and the flesh gun.  Spoiler Alert: Full spoilers for "Videodrome"… I mean, as much as you can spoil "Videodrome".  “The technology came and I think our brains are still trying to catch up with all this connectivity.”

In a truly rule-breaking episode, we talk about it - it would be a pretty quick episode if we didn't.  We're delighted to be joined by the actor James Trevena to talk about the 1999 frenzy FIGHT CLUB.  Rest assured, there have been no mucky sounds subliminally pasted into the recording, although it might occasionally sound like - but that's just Chris slurping his tea.END CREDITS- Presented by Robert Johnson and Christopher Webb- Produced/edited by Christopher Webb- "Still Any Good?" logo designed by Graham Wood & Robert Johnson- Crap poster mock-up by Christopher Webb- Theme music ("The Slide Of Time") by The Sonic Jewels, used with kind permission(c) 2025 Tiger Feet ProductionsFind us:Twitter @stillanygoodpodInstagram @stillanygoodpodBluesky @stillanygood.bsky.socialEmail stillanygood@gmail.comFind James Trevena:Instagram jamestrevenaofficialTwitter @James43nzSupport the show

Is The Howling the best werewolf movie ever made? That's the big question on this week's Born to Watch, where the team dives deep into this 1981 horror classic. In The Howling (1981) Movie Review, Whitey and Damo take a nostalgic trip back to one of the most iconic (and unsettling) werewolf films of all time.The crew kicks things off by reminiscing about their first encounters with The Howling. For Damo, it was a forbidden treat at the movie theater as a kid, lured in by schoolyard hype over one particular scene. Whitey recalls the unforgettable VHS cover—the infamous clawed-through poster that haunted every video rental store. But does this film still hold up more than 40 years later?The discussion quickly turns to the werewolf genre as a whole. Why are werewolf movies so rare? What makes The Howling stand out from other lycanthropic horror films like An American Werewolf in London or Dog Soldiers? The gang breaks down the film's eerie atmosphere, its chilling transformation sequences, and the stunning practical effects that made Rob Bottin (the man behind The Thing) a legend in Hollywood.Of course, it wouldn't be Born to Watch without some hilarious tangents. The guys analyze everything from the film's oddball characters (like the ultra-horny werewolf Marsha) to its bizarre plot twists, including one of the worst sting operations in movie history. And let's not forget the infamous werewolf sex scene—equal parts steamy and unsettling. Was it necessary? Was it too much? Or was it just the kind of batshit-crazy moment that makes ‘80s horror so much fun?Speaking of fun, The Howling is filled with hidden gems and cool trivia, including surprise cameos from legendary director Roger Corman and future Adam Sandler film director Dennis Dugan. The team also unpacks the film's lasting legacy, from its disastrous sequels (Howling VI: The Freaks, anyone?) to its influence on modern werewolf flicks.And in true Born to Watch fashion, there's plenty of debate:

Erik Jensen grew up in New Jersey. As a young person he loved monster movies. For a time he considered pursuing a career as a veterinarian. But when his friend Chris Walas moved out to Los Angeles to pursue a career in the movie FX business, Erik wasn't too far behind. In Hollywood Erik worked on several low budget horror movies honing his skills and making connections. It was a small community and led to working with Rob Bottin on some projects, including John Carpenter's 1982 remake "The Thing". Erik worked in both production and as an artist. Erik's work landed him a job on Dragonslayer at ILM where he would work on multiple projects for more than 20 years. HIs list of credits are amazing and include; Young Sherlock Holmes, Star Trek IV, Ghostbusters II, Star Wars: Episode 1, Space Cowboys, AI, Peter Pan, Star Wars: Episode III, and Jarhead. He also left ILM to work at Skellington on The Nightmare Before Christmas and James and the Giant Peach. He later worked at TraumaFX building realistic task trainers for both human and K9 simulators for emergency medical training. Today Erik is retired and lives with his wife being an active grandparent. It was great fun talking with Erik about his life and incredible career (which is obvious as this is a long one). 

Original Release Date: November 29, 2023 Original Patreon Description: It's hard to argue with a confident man - so when Kron Howard says Assault on Precinct 13 is "the best almost-horror movie ever made", you better believe him!  We're breaking down exactly why that's the case, including the modernization of the Hawksian archetypes, the awesome practical effects, and the creation of a genre all John Carpenter's own. So grab your vanilla twist ice cream cone and strap in, because this is a fun one... i'll tell it to ya sometime! FROM THE CORRECTIONS DEPARTMENT: While Stan Winston did do the kennel scene giant dog/thing monster, Rob Bottin was the primary effects man on The Thing. My apologies for the disrespect, Rob.

Hannah and Cameron talk about Ridley Scott's 1985 flop Legend, the miraculous performance of Tim Curry, Tom Cruise's fantasy-aesthetic, Rob Bottin's unbelievable makeup work, and this film's connection to Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings series. 

John Carpenter's The Thing from 1982 we treated incredibly harshly upon it's initial release. Labelled disgusting and mean on arrival audiences gradually turned around on it with it becomming one of the greatest horror movies of all time. With an incredible central performances from the likes of Kurt Russell and Keith David, ground breaking special effects from Rob Bottin, a haunting and terrifying atmosphere and an amazing score from the legandary Ennio Morricone it's probably the best thing that's ever happened to humanity.

fWotD Episode 2621: RoboCop Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Monday, 8 July 2024 is RoboCop.RoboCop is a 1987 American science fiction action film directed by Paul Verhoeven and written by Edward Neumeier and Michael Miner. The film stars Peter Weller, Nancy Allen, Daniel O'Herlihy, Ronny Cox, Kurtwood Smith, and Miguel Ferrer. Set in a crime-ridden Detroit in the near future, RoboCop centers on police officer Alex Murphy (Weller) who is murdered by a gang of criminals and revived by the megacorporation Omni Consumer Products as the cyborg law enforcer RoboCop. Unaware of his former life, RoboCop executes a campaign against crime while coming to terms with the lingering fragments of his humanity.The film was conceived by Neumeier while working on the set of Blade Runner (1982), and he developed the idea with Miner. Their script was purchased in early 1985 by producer Jon Davison on behalf of Orion Pictures. Finding a director proved difficult; Verhoeven dismissed the script twice because he did not understand its satirical content, until he was convinced of its value by his wife. Filming took place between August and October 1986, mainly in Dallas, Texas. Rob Bottin led the special-effects team in creating practical effects, violent gore and the RoboCop costume.Verhoeven emphasized violence throughout the film, making it so outlandish that it became comical. Censorship boards believed that it was too extreme, however, and several scenes were shortened or modified to receive an acceptable theatrical rating. RoboCop was a financial success upon its release in July 1987, earning $53.4 million. Reviewers praised it as a clever action film with deeper philosophical messages and satire, but were conflicted about its extreme violence. The film was nominated for several awards, and won an Academy Award and a number of Saturn Awards.RoboCop has been critically reevaluated since its release, and it has been hailed as one of the best films of the 1980s and one of the greatest science fiction and action films ever made. The film has been praised for its depiction of a robot affected by the loss of humanity, in contrast to the stoic and emotionless robotic characters of that era. RoboCop has continued to be analyzed for its themes such as the nature of humanity, personal identity, corporate greed and corruption, and is seen as a rebuke of the era's Reaganomics policies. Its success created a franchise: the sequels RoboCop 2 (1990) and RoboCop 3 (1993), children's animated series, live-action television shows, video games, comic books, toys, clothing and other merchandise. A remake was released in 2014.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:28 UTC on Monday, 8 July 2024.For the full current version of the article, see RoboCop on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Russell.

It's March, so that means it's time for the AIPT Movies podcast's “Get Your Ass to March” series! Where we cover movies that relate to the planet Mars and/or the 1990 sci-fi classic, Total Recall! In this week's episode, Alex, Tim, and Matt kick off the series by discussing a movie that satisfies BOTH qualifiers, Paul Verhoeven's 1990 sci-fi classic, Total Recall!Hologram gags! Explosive decompression! Disturbingly inhuman, cab-driving robots! A classic musical score from Jerry Goldsmith! Bone-crunching sound FX! The psychic space mutant, Kuato! The quickest divorce you've ever seen! Possibly the greatest human-shield in movie history! Incredible, kinda-gross-looking practical FX from the reclusive and legendary Rob Bottin! A wonderful cast that includes an unrecognizable Hank from Breaking Bad, Michael Ironside's weird run, Ronny Cox playing his character from RoboCop, Sharon Stone and Rachel Ticotin in a rough & tumble girl fight, and Arnold Schwarzenegger delivering some of the greatest one-liners of his career! The satirical carnage of Paul Verhoeven meets the larger-than-life theatrics of an Arnold movie in this exploration of class, capitalism, and the hidden desires of the human psyche! The planet Mars never looked so good! In addition, Alex shamefully admits that he had never seen the Nicolas Cage/John Cusack action-banger, Con-Air, until recently, and shares his spoiler-free thoughts!You can find AIPT Movies on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

John and Jim chat about John Carpenter's masterpiece The Thing, a tale about a shapeshifting alien lifeform that causes panic and paranoia amongst a team of Americans at a research station. The two discuss how criminally underrated the film was when it first debuted in 1982. They also get into the gory details of Rob Bottin's genius special effects makeup work on the film. The two discuss how often remakes can be disappointing but agree, Carpenter's retelling has to stand as one of the all time great remade flicks. So, bundle up as you join us in the Antarctic, crack a cold one and enjoy.

“Dead or alive, you are coming with me.”In 1987, screenwriters Edward Neumeier and Michael Miner developed an original story idea while working on the set of Blade Runner. They envisioned a dystopian future where privatized police forces maintained law and order. After pitching the concept to studios, Orion Pictures greenlit the production of RoboCop, directed by Dutch filmmaker Paul Verhoeven. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue the 1988 Academy Awards Best Visual Effects Nominees series with a conversation about RoboCop.Here's a hint at what we talk about:We dive into the amazing practical effects created by Rob Bottin and Phil Tippett, including RoboCop himself, ED-209, the toxic waste scenes, and more. We discuss Paul Verhoeven's unique directorial vision and how he used over-the-top violence to achieve a satirical tone. The film's sharp and funny social satire provides critical commentary on privatized policing and corporate greed that still resonates today.Here are a few other points in our discussion:Great performance from Peter Weller as Murphy/RoboCop, plus the rest of the castThe love/hate relationship with the corporate charactersHow the 2014 remake compared to the originalRoboCop is a classic sci-fi action film that struck a delicate balance between intense action and dark comedy.

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve once again welcome Miles to the show, a man whose insights cut sharper than a surgeon's scalpel to help us pass the blood test and review the once reviled and now widely celebrated, John Carpenter's The Thing from 1982. Join us as we learn what four and a baby means by way of one of the many porpoise patron saints Young Jeezy, stand in awe of Rob Bottin's absolute unit of a hair piece, and discuss more of the background of The Thing including why it was so poorly received initially and now is one of the most highly revered horror films of all time. The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, dare to overcome cabin fever and widespread paranoia in this journey through the frozen wastelands where shape-shifters lurk, trust is a rare commodity, and the only thing colder than the ice is G-Baby's ex's heart. Could you spot a guava in a lineup full of exotic fruits? Let's wax this porpoise from another world. https://linktr.ee/waxtheporpoise #horror #halloween #carpenter #thething #waxit Huge thanks again to Miles for joining us!

We're talking about An American Werewolf in London on this Fan2Fan Podcast 5 Minute Frights! Bernie and Pete are joined by Graham to briefly discuss the 1981 horror classic. They go over the film's casting, music, comedic tone, comparisons to 1981's The Howling, and more. They also discuss the iconic werewolf transformation scene and Rob Bottin's award-winning effects. "Stay off the moors!" For more info about the Fan2Fan Podcast, visit fanpodcast.com

This week the Boys discuss dead animals, trauma, and Paul's extra-curricular activities. Released in 1981, "The Howling" is a quintessential horror film directed by Joe Dante. Based on the novel of the same name by Gary Brandner, the movie is a landmark entry in the werewolf subgenre of horror. The story follows television news anchor Karen White, played by Dee Wallace, who becomes the target of a serial killer. To recover from the trauma, Karen and her husband retreat to a remote resort known as "The Colony." Unbeknownst to them, the inhabitants of this secluded place are lycanthropes – werewolves – and their seemingly idyllic community conceals a terrifying secret. "The Howling" is celebrated for its effective blend of suspense, gore, and transformation sequences, becoming a cornerstone in the werewolf horror canon. The film's groundbreaking special effects, led by Rob Bottin, marked a significant advancement in practical creature design at the time. The vivid and horrifying werewolf transformations are particularly memorable, showcasing the level of dedication and creativity that went into the film's production. Beyond its technical achievements, "The Howling" is also praised for its social subtext, as it can be interpreted as a commentary on primal instincts and the battle between civilization and our more animalistic nature. As Karen delves deeper into The Colony's sinister secrets, the movie explores themes of identity and duality, adding depth to its horror elements. With its chilling atmosphere, remarkable practical effects, and thought-provoking themes, "The Howling" remains a cherished classic that has left an indelible mark on the horror genre.

linktr.ee/CatchingUpOnCinema⁠ This March, “VHS Cover Art” Month returns at Catching Up On Cinema! Every week we'll be reviewing films with incredible cover art from the VHS era. This week, Kyle and Trevor review Joe Dante's, The Howling (1981)! An early hit in Joe Dante's filmography, The Howling (1981) is an unusual werewolf film that is largely remembered for the makeup effects contributions of a young Rob Bottin. Released in 1981, a year that would also see the release of John Landis' darkly comedic, An American Werewolf in London, and Michael Wadleigh's lesser known, Wolfen, The Howling is likely remembered as the 2nd best werewolf film that came out that year. Charismatically shot and directed, with a strong presentation overall, The Howling has a many positive elements, however its meandering 2nd act, and strangely hurried and muddled climax result in an experience possessed of some truly high highs, with unfortunately very little connective tissue tying it all together. A fine werewolf film that unfortunately, in the eyes of this reviewer, will forever play second fiddle to An American Werewolf in London.

This week we watched the film "The Howling from 1981 J - 6.5 M - 7 Each week we choose a movie from one of the horror genre to discuss the following week. Follow along each week by keeping up with the movies we are watching to stay in the loop with the movie club! Check out other podcasts, coffee and pins at www.darkroastcult.com ! THANKS TO ANDREW FOR MAKING THE INTRO SONG. (soundcloud.com / andoryukesuta)@andoryukesuta The Howling 1981 In a red light district, newswoman Karen White is bugged by the police, investigating serial killer Eddie Quist, who has been molesting her through phone calls. After police officers find them in a peep-show cabin and shoot Eddie, Karen becomes emotionally disturbed and loses her memory. Hoping to conquer her inner demons, she heads for the Colony, a secluded retreat where the creepy residents are rather too eager to make her feel at home. There also seems to be a bizarre connection between Eddie Quist and this supposedly safe haven. And when, after nights of being tormented by unearthly cries, Karen ventures into the forest and makes a terrifying discovery The Howling is a 1981 American horror film directed by Joe Dante. It is based on the novel of the same name by Gary Brandner. The film stars Dee Wallace, Patrick Macnee, Dennis Dugan, and Robert Picardo. The Howling was released in the United States on March 13, 1981, and became a moderate success, grossing $17.9 million at the box office. It received generally positive reviews, with praise for the makeup special effects by Rob Bottin. The film won the 1980 Saturn Award for Best Horror Film while still in development, and was one of the three high-profile werewolf-themed horror films released in 1981, alongside An American Werewolf in London and Wolfen. Its financial success aided Dante's career, and prompted Warner Bros. to hire Dante (as director) and Michael Finnell (as producer) for Gremlins. A series consisting of seven sequels arose from the film's success. A remake is in development, with Andy Muschietti set to direct. Karen White is a Los Angeles television news anchor who is being stalked by serial killer Eddie Quist. In cooperation with the police, she takes part in a scheme to capture Eddie by agreeing to meet him in a sleazy porn theater. Eddie forces Karen to watch a video of a young woman being bound and raped, and when Karen turns around to see Eddie, she screams. The police enter and shoot Eddie, and although Karen is safe, she suffers amnesia. Her therapist, Dr. George Waggner, decides to send her and her husband, Bill Neill, to the "Colony", a secluded resort in the countryside where he sends patients for treatment. The Colony is filled with strange characters, and one, a sultry nymphomaniac named Marsha, tries to seduce Bill. When he resists her unsubtle sexual overtures, he is attacked and scratched on the arm by a werewolf while returning to his cabin. After Bill's attack, Karen summons her friend, Terri Fisher, to the Colony, and Terri connects the resort to Eddie through a sketch he left behind, having previously discovered that Eddie's body disappeared from the morgue. Karen begins to suspect that Bill is hiding a secret far more threatening than marital infidelity. Later that night, Bill meets Marsha at a campfire in the woods. While having sex in the moonlight, they undergo a frightening transformation into werewolves. While investigating the next morning, Terri is attacked by a werewolf in a cabin, though she escapes after cutting the monster's hand off with an ax. She runs to Wagner's office and places a phone call to her boyfriend Chris Halloran, who has been alerted about the Colony's true nature.

“You gotta be f#@%ing kidding”. No kidding, CARPENTOBER continues with the alien paranoia classic THE THING! Considered a "failure" at the time, this Carpenter classic found the praise it deserved over the past 40 years. The Cannon Bros (Frank and Geoff) dig this harder than a Swedish...sorry, Norwegian research team in the Antarctic. We talk killer creature designs by a young Rob Bottin, badass Kurt Russell beard/hair, existential dread, Lovecraftian Aliens and a mustacheless Wilford Brimley?! WEIRD!

For this third week of our John Carpenter horror month, we decided to take inspiration from our episode number and go to Area 51 for an alien adventure with The Thing, Carpenter's 1982 alien invasion movie starring Kurt Russell in a Yosemite Sam hat. We talk isolation and paranoia in the frozen underbelly of the world, Rob Bottin's genius (and gruesome) creature creations (with an assist from Stan Winston), nontraditional westerns, the Oscar-worthy performance of Jed the wolfdog, and saving the world from an apocalypse when you've probably had too much whiskey. Make sure your flamethrower is fueled and join us!

Com roteiro de Ronald Shusett, Dan O'Bannon e Gary Goldman, a produção inaugura a década contando uma história intrigante e visionária, além de apresentar efeitos especiais de alta qualidade. Schwarzenegger interpreta Douglas Quaid, um operário que tem sonhos recorrentes de estar em Marte. Vivendo em 2084 e sem condições de pagar por uma viagem ao planeta vermelho, ele decide recorrer à empresa Rekall para implantar em sua mente uma memória fabricada com base em seus sonhos. Porém, o procedimento desperta uma memória real, mas que havia sido "apagada": Quaid na verdade é um agente secreto que vivia disfarçado na Terra. No podcast, nós falamos sobre as diferenças entre o filme e o conto "Lembramos para Você a Preço de Atacado", apontamos os aspectos que envelheceram mal e destacamos aqueles que até hoje impressionam, principalmente em relação aos temas pensados por Philip K.

He co-created Bloodshot, and contributed to books like The Visitor, Eternal Warrior, and Solar: Man of the Atom, among many others. But comics are only part of his career. Kevin also has a successful film career, working as a writer, director, producer, and visual effects artist and supervisor. He's worked on Daredevil, I, Robot, and Miss Congeniality, to name a few.

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/

THE THING is John Carpenter's 1982 horror masterpiece, combining a simple but sensational premise with some of the most incredible special effects ever devised from legendary prosthetic makeup designer Rob Bottin.  Crash landing on earth over 100,000 years ago, an unknowable alien entity has lain dormant in Antarctica until unfrozen by a doomed scientific team. It's unique ability is to precisely mimic any life it comes in contact with and this ingeniously paranoid idea sees the audience in the same predicament as our hero MacReady (Kurt Russell, THE CHRISTMAS CHRONICLES); not knowing which of our excellent ensemble cast might be the cosmic abomination until their face splits open to reveal some grotesque transgressive horror. As tension mounts and the team start to fracture, scenes of almost unimaginable awfulness unfold from a terror truly beyond human understanding and the ambiguous downbeat ending is an all-time classic. Tune in to hear us discuss Ennio Morricone's Razzie nominated score, gather tips on how to spot which characters might be The Thing and unpack the unsettling existential implications of its terrifying central conceit. The iconic poster was conceptualised, painted and delivered to the studio in less than 24 hours by the wonderful film poster artist Drew Struzan and a copy of his artwork hangs on my office wall so if you can't tell already I'm a bit of a fan of this one.

This week we travel to a dystopic crime-ridden Detroit where a terminally wounded cop returns to the force as a powerful cyborg haunted by submerged memories. Paul Verhoeven's 1987 film ROBOCOP is on deck. We discuss Rob Bottin's special FX, the themes of the film, Monte Hellman's involvement, the contentiousness on set, Peter Weller's mime work, and much more!
