Just The Thing

Joel and Chris discuss what would happen if The Thing was in Conan and ask all the important Conan-related questions, like did right-wing politics used to be more palatable? And what exactly is a snake cult? This episode also includes a rare deep dive into the actual plot of the film so if you haven't seen Conan the Barbarian you would be well-advised to rectify this before listening.

Joel and Chris dive into The Matrix Resurrections and lose themselves (and the core concept of the podcast) in a maze of tangents before uncovering the secret of the hallowed Warner Brothers creator-controlled sequel. Along the way they also find parallels between The Matrix Resurrections and Gremlins 2, contemplate the deeper meaning the creators of Space Jam 2 were aiming for and continue to question the existence of their own podcast.

In this episode Chris and Joel enter the futuristic world of the year 2021 as they discuss perhaps the one, true cyberpunk movie, Johnny Mnemonic. There is so much to talk about with this movie, including the William Gibson source material, the short-lived career of Robert Longo and the eclectic cast that includes Japanese cult film star Takeshi Kitano and Dolph Lundgren as a cybernetic priest. In fact, there's so much going on in this film that it may prove resistant to an invasion by The Thing, but our two intrepid podcasters will try anyway.
This is the final episode of Season 1. The podcast will return for Season 2 towards the end of August.

In this episode Joel and Chris reimagine the third film in the Bad Boys trilogy if it had been invaded by John Carpenter's The Thing. What sounds like the most unlikely pairing in the series so far may be the first to actually work! Come with us as we discover a world in which Will Smith and Martin Lawrence team up to take on a shape-shifting alien. S**t just got real.
Disclaimer: This episode was recorded prior to the 2022 Oscars, so at the time of recording Will Smith is still a very nice man and we are blissfully unaware of him slapping anyone.

In this episode, writers Joel Jessup and Chris Regan discuss Peter Chelsom's 2001 rom-com, Serendipity and imagine how things may have worked out differently for John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale if John Carpenter's The Thing had invaded their movie.
