The Uncut Gems Podcast - Episode 68 (The Thing from Another World)
The Uncut Gems PodcastThe Uncut Gems Podcast is a show where a bunch of like-minded individuals gather around a virtual table to discuss films that for one reason or another have become forgotten. Tongues pressed firmly in cheek, the team don their film historian top hats and rant from sedentary positions to hopefully conclude whether the film in question deserves to be covered by sands of time or if it is a classic in dire need of attention.
In this episode of the show we are officially launching our Shapeshifters and Body Snatchers series by talking about the 1951 classic, The Thing from Another World. Over the course of our chat you will hear us talk about the struggles of early science-fiction with embracing visual storytelling, how the movie carries over some aspects of a screwball comedy perhaps to its own detriment, how it could have been a Universal Monsters movie, how it became a source of inspiration for John Carpenter and Dan O'Bannon and much, much more!
