Tortellini at Noon

For our last week late review episode for Spooptober we watched the 1982 classic film The Thing.  Directed by John Carpenter and starring Kurt Russell it tells the story of a group of American researchers in Antarctica who encounter the eponymous “Thing”, a parasitic extraterrestrial life-form that assimilates and 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 one of them could be the Thing. Also towards the end of the podcast we discuss extended vs theatrical editions of movies. Come join us!

Happy Happy Halloween, Silver Shamrock!! For the 71st episode we watched a film starring Burt Selleck (Tom Atkins), the 1982 cult classic Halloween III: Season of the Witch. upon it’s release the film was met with scathing reviews by critics and fans alike for the absence of Michael Myers and the rest of the Halloween story as the producers wanted to turn the franchise into an anthology series and tell a new story every year. This film is set during Halloween and tells the tale about kids all over America want Silver Shamrock masks for Halloween. Doctor Daniel Challis seeks to uncover a plot by Silver Shamrock owner Conal Cochran. Over the years reception of the film has been much better and it has since found the audience it didn’t have during the initial release.
