It's the 100th episode of Gartbage Film! To celebrate we had to cover one of our very favourite movies from one of our very favourite directors including one of our very favourite dogs: it's John Carpenter's THE THING from 1982! We're covering it all: how Carpenter set out to create a different type of horror movie than Halloween, Dean Cundey's approach to lighting and framing, Ennio Morricone's 3 soundtracks, our theories of who gets Thing'd and when, and most importantly, Jed the wolfdog. We also discuss how this is a prime example of how to express ambiguity without losing focus in your movie and why it works so well. Plus, another edition of Hooray for Hollywood to chart the bizarre route THE THING took from getting made to the fallout after it was released. Also, Dick Warlock lore!
