Hess brings on friend of the show PHIL from PIXEL LIT to discuss all things THE THING! In this first installment of a two-part ride, Hess and Phil discuss the original 1938 Novella WHO GOES THERE? that inspired director Howard Hawks as well as John Carpenter in the creation of their vastly influential horror films. 

This episode runs through the literary "other" in film, the Red Scare in the early 20th century, and how terrifying Rob Bottin's FX were when shown on the big 35mm screen.
