It's another thrilling episode of Remake Redemption, where we discuss an original film and its remake, and pass judgement on them both! How does the original stand up today? Did the remake deserve to get made?

In this, our second installment of the Remake Redemption feature, we look at The Thing From Another World - the 1951 horror film which would inspire a generation of filmmakers in the 70s and 80s - and John Carpenter's The Thing - the 1982 film from one of those inspired filmmakers, which would go on to inspire another generation of filmmakers in the 21st century.

As an added bonus, we also discuss John W. Campbell Jr.'s "Who Goes There?", the novella on which these films were based, and the lasting legacy of this story across a variety of media. Strap your flamethrower on and get ready - it may be nearly summer, but we're settling in for a long winter with these chilling classics!

The recent passing of actor William Hurt resulted in two common themes in the assessment of his life and career: he was a brilliant actor, and very often a terrible person. Which means it's somewhat appropriate this his first film role was as an extremely imperfect man who is driven to succeed in his field.

Altered States inhabits an interesting place in the history of cinema. A relatively big-budget film directed by a director who was, at best, on the fringes of the mainstream, and written by a writer who, in an extremely rare instance, arguably had more creative control over the project than the director, Altered States was destined to be something that wasn't quite like anything audiences had seen before - or, arguably, have seen since.

In this episode, we discuss the history of the film - including the clashes between director Ken Russell and writer Paddy Chayefsky, and debate the ultimate meaning of a movie that creates more questions than it answers, and ultimately leaves the audience seeking a deeper truth - not unlike Eddie Jessup himself.

We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming to bring you an exciting preview of the newest podcast from the creators of The Videostore Junkies: Living Under the Gun, A Cop Rock-cast. The first (and only) podcast dedicated to the classic 90s musical police drama which tragically only lasted a single season, Living Under the Gun is a deep-dive into one of the greatest - and most overlooked - television shows of all time. Each episode we'll cover an episode of Cop Rock, as well as getting into some of the background details of the show, and the creative force behind it.

We hope you'll enjoy this special preview episode, and then join us regularly for new episodes of Living Under the Gun!
