Description
June of 1982 gave us three of the greatest science fiction movies of the 1980's (and maybe all time)! Ridley Scott's "Blade Runner" and John Carpenter's "The Thing" may have gotten buried at the box office by Steven Spielberg's "E.T." but they have since become appreciated as 80s classics finding their audience through cable and VHS. This episode we deep dive into the origins of these movies telling the stories of how they came to be. We also cover some of the unexpected connections between these films. Grab your flame thrower and join us for the fun!
