What's up, you Thingamajigs? This week on the podcast, Maryland Phil and I, dive deep into two iconic interpretations of John W. Campbell Jr.'s novella Who Goes There?—The Thing from Another World (1951) and John Carpenter's The Thing (1982). We explore how these two films, separated by three decades, offer drastically different takes on the same terrifying concept.We start with the 1951 classic, a Cold War-era sci-fi thriller set in an Arctic outpost, where a plant-based alien menace triggers panic and cooperation among a tight-knit military-scientific crew. Then, we descend into the paranoia-soaked landscape of Carpenter's 1982 remake, where an Antarctic research team is torn apart by a shape-shifting parasite that could be hiding in any one of them.From Cold War optimism to post-Watergate cynicism, from offscreen menace to grotesque practical effects, we break down:Thematic differences: unity vs. paranoia, trust vs. suspicionVisual styles and creature design: implied horror vs. unforgettable body horrorLegacy and influence on modern media: The X-Files, Stranger Things, Among Us, and moreWhether you're a fan of pulp sci-fi or slow-burning existential dread, this episode is for you.

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?

From there we kind of lose track of discussing them as separate films and do whatever we want. Losing track of what's going on and doing whatever we want, as a concept, may not surprise long time listeners. The result of this Rumble may not surprise you, as it certainly did not surprise us.

The film stars Margaret Sheridan, Kenneth Tobey, Robert Cornthwaite, and Douglas Spencer. James Arness plays The Thing, though he is difficult to recognize in costume and makeup due to both low lighting and other effects used to obscure his features.

We close out this October with a horror classic, The Thing, directed by John Carpenter in 1982, and based on the novella, Who Goes There? by John W. Campbell. We're talking big hats, dog Oscars, confusing blood tests, monsters that are committed performers, and of course, our thoughts on that ending!

IT SEEMS THERE IS AN IMPOSTOR AMONG US.After paying homage to it in the original Halloween, John Carpenter decided to make his mark once again by doing his own unique remake of The Thing from Another World, itself based on the John W. Campbell novel Who Goes There? What resulted was a dlightfully sickening and twisted display of horror, paranoia, and practical VFX which wouldn't fully be appreciated until years later. So, in the spirit of the season, come watch with Brian and Alec as they sit down and get spooked by John Carpenter's The Thing!

Beer and a Movie with the Weast Side Boys!

The Thing is a 1982 American science fiction horror film directed by John Carpenter from a screenplay by Bill Lancaster. Based on the 1938 John W. Campbell Jr. novella Who Goes There?, it tells the story of a group of American researchers in Antarctica who encounter the eponymous "Thing," an extraterrestrial life-form that assimilates, then imitates, other organisms. The group is overcome by paranoia and conflict as they learn that they can no longer trust each other and that any of them could be the Thing. The film stars Kurt Russell as the team's helicopter pilot R.J. MacReady, with A. Wilford Brimley, T. K. Carter, David Clennon, Keith David, Richard Dysart, Charles Hallahan, Peter Maloney, Richard Masur, Donald Moffat, Joel Polis, and Thomas G. Waites in supporting roles.

The film stars Margaret Sheridan, Kenneth Tobey, Robert Cornthwaite, and Douglas Spencer.

In this spooktacular episode, hosts Katherine Troyer and Anthony Tresca discuss not one but two (well, kind of three) THINGS:  the 1951 film The Thing from Another World, John Carpenter's beloved 1982 film The Thing, and the novella that started it all...John W. Campbell's 1938 "Who Goes There?" Episode Highlights: We explore how the thing manages, time and again, to change its form in order to provide the most culturally relevant moments of horror. Looking particularly at the two films, we talk about the ways that the 1951 film presents a more affirmative "we can do it team!" mentality that stands in sharp contrast with the 1982 film's disaffirmative sense of paranoia and "everyone is the threat" mentality. We think about how each text depicts our alien invader and we consider what it is about this story that continues to haunt us in subsequent adaptations and remakes.  A Dose of Scholarship: We discuss a number of pieces of scholarship: Stephen Price's essay "Dread, Taboo, and The Thing: Toward a Social Theory of the Horror Film" in the 2004 book The Horror Film, Ronald Allan Lopez Cruz's 2012 essay "Mutations and Metamorphoses: Body Horror is Biological Horror," and Eric White's 1993 article "The Erotics of Becoming: Xenogensis and 'The Thing.'"   This podcast episode first aired on December 19, 2022.

“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
