While the cast is stacked with interesting actors and the set-up is definitely there, this one still ends up feeling a bit half baked / incomplete.

Regular listeners will know this one has been a longtime coming, and that it's one of the last of our mutual blindspots in Carpenter's filmography.

We try to boil down the plot but get a little lost along the way; ultimately we come away thinking this might be the most underrated Carpenter film we've covered so far. I would say we end with our "usual" Remake / Recast Debate; but honestly (Spoiler Alert) we somehow just end up demanding a Remake of Prince of Darkness...

We go in-depth discussing Carpenter's collaborations with effects wizard/wunderkind Rob Bottin as well as his cinematic muse, Kurt Russell (Arguably their best outing together). And, of course, we briefly discuss the so-so 2011 prequel and our usual Remake/Recast Debate.

Carpenter RevisitedCarpenter Revisited Episode 4 - The FogThis week The Blanchard Brothers look into, The Fog...
This week, Gavin and I tackle Carpenter's follow-up to his smash success with Halloween, 1980's The Fog. While we loved this one as kids, this most recent rewatch wasn't as kind. We're still impressed with the awesome array of Character Actors on display but find The Fog itself somewhat of a flawed antagonist. After a brisk recap we launch into our usual Remake / Recast, and in this case Reworking discussion, we hope you enjoy...

Carpenter RevisitedCarpenter Revisited Episode 2 - Halloween (Part 1)In this week's episode The Blanchard Brothers discuss Carpenter's most well-known and popular film, the one, the only, 1978's Halloween.
Halloween is such an important and integral part of Carpenter's filmography we simply couldn't boil it down to one episode. What you'll hear this week is a semi-rough / very-off-the-cuff conversation (the 2nd podcast we ever recorded together) where we address the film more generally and discuss its lasting impressions on us. We then move into a discussion about the franchise as a whole, highlighting the best and worst entries before wrapping things up with our remake / recast d...
