In Episode #184 of My Bloody Podcast, we plunge scalpels-first into John Carpenter’s The Thing (1982), a film that has aged better than most of its human characters. We roam through the eerie lineage of the story, revisiting the 1950s original, back when aliens were tall, wooden, and shaped vaguely like your uncle’s coat rack, and marvel at the alternate-universe casting choices that nearly befell Carpenter’s classic. Yes, somewhere in a parallel dimension, Jay Leno is squinting suspiciously across a snowbank, and we should all be grateful we don’t live there.
