1. John Carpenter’s The Thing

This podcast doesn’t want to show itself, it wants to hide inside an imitation. It’ll fight if it has to, but it’s vulnerable out in the open.

John Carpenter’s The Thing is a horror sci-fi movie about a small group of American scientists in Antarctica who are accosted by an otherworldly being who can assume the shape of its victims. As the film goes on, this group of men have to figure out who of them can be trusted, and who of them has already been taken by The Thing.

Join ghost with the most Ash with their first guest of horror, Tori, while they dig their teeth into the deeper meaning behind John Carpenter’s polarizing classic.
