John Carpenter & Kurt Russell (part two) w/ Matt Ruff

We continue this week with the concluding half of our epic conversation about the work of John Carpenter and Kurt Russell featuring guest, friend, and bestselling author Matt Ruff. This week, you'll hear us dive deeper into the themes and importance of THE THING as well as a lively and light-hearted traipse through BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA before going back into all three films (including ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK) to examine the ways we can hold onto hope in the midst of often very cynical surroundings.

Also featuring a Patron segment with Vera Goudie discussing STRANGER THINGS: Season 4; episode 4, this a lively and hearty discussion that we really hope you enjoy.
