Episode 25: The Thing (1982)
What the heck is that Thing?! The Canon continues its celebration of the season of spooks with John Carpenter’s classic creature feature. Screenwriter Connor McKnight joins Raf to discuss paranoia, isolation, existential dread, and whether a movie about all of those things can have a happy ending. Oh and also, those practical effects in this movie are wild.
