Welcome to our new season, "Director Double Bills". In each episode we will focus on a filmmaker and explore two of their films, one horror and one Science Fiction.

We begin the season with a big one: JC himself – John Carpenter. We are joined by film critic Travis Johnson to explore Carpenter's impact on both genres and go deep into two of his greatest works – the 1981 dystopian classic Escape from New York (35:30), followed by what many consider to be his masterpiece, 1982’s The Thing (01:33:34).
