This classic sci fi horror film from 1982 is one of our favorite films of all time and because of that, this is a long episode that gets pretty deep in the weeds on all things John Carpenter and Makeup Effects genius Rob Bottin! Ryan and I worked in the makeup effects industry during the same time back in the day (Ryan even worked for Rob on such films as "Seven" and "Mission Impossible") so I think we have a more nuanced perspective because of it. Plus, Ryan has some inside scoops that I have not heard anywhere else!!! Also, a quick life update.
