"The Thing (1982) – John Carpenter’s Horror Masterpiece, Practical Effects Madness, and Why Hollywood Keeps Failing to Remake It"

  • サマリー

  • 🔥 Trust no one. Bring a flamethrower. 🔥

    In this paranoia-fueled episode of Rewind or Die, we’re diving deep—icy deep—into John Carpenter’s The Thing (1982), the ultimate sci-fi horror nightmare. We break down its brilliant casting, legendary practical effects, and the cold, nihilistic terror that STILL haunts audiences today.

    But we’re not stopping there. Oh no. Along the way, we derail into:

    • The insane summer of 1982, where The Thing had to compete with E.T. (a.k.a. The Thing but nice).
    • Wilford Brimley’s rapid descent into madness—faster than you remember.
    • Why Keith David is the MVP of suspicion and should have been a bigger star.
    • How Hollywood keeps trying (and failing) to remake or sequel-ize this masterpiece—and why they should STOP.
    • The bizarre fake 1982 Thing toy commercial that Steve found on YouTube and Jeff immediately debunked.
    • The real question: Is this the greatest snow movie or does Cliffhanger have something to say?

    This episode is LONG, UNHINGED, and packed with unnecessary Brimley trivia. If you love The Thing, Kurt Russell’s beard, and horror movies that ruin your ability to trust other humans, this is your episode.
