When one finds themselves buried under a ludicrous amount of snow, there is only one sensible thing to do… watch John Carpenter’s The Thing!!
That’s right, for episode 58 of The Steal My Name Podcast we’re digging our way through all of the reasons that The Thing is an absolute masterpiece. From the immense scale of the landscape, the bonkers effects, and the exploration of the collapse of trust in social groups, join your host (he promises that he hasn’t been taken over and replaced) as he sings the praise of this horror classic.
Deep Space Nine returns to the present and gets back to their bread and butter; Bajoran social and religious politics!! I know, right?? Season 3, episode 13, Life Support, is an excellent exploration of the positive potential of religious selflessness. But in DS9 style, we can’t forget that the evils of power and control are always lurking around the corners.
