THE THING (1982) – In this episode, we take on John Carpenter’s Science Fiction/Horror classic… originally panned by critics, this film has grown to be a monument in the canon of SF cinema. We talk about the reason behind this, from its gestation as a short story by Campbell to its multiple interpretations on the screen. Below are links referenced in the episode, as well as a final (post-podcast) link to a newly discovered unpublished, novel-length version by Campbell.
