Just The Thing
Writers Joel Jessup and Chris Regan reimagine cult and classic movies by adding John Carpenter's The Thing into the story. Not even the two hosts understand why they are doing this but they'll figure it out, one movie at a time.
Just The Thing
Conclave
In the last of our bonus episodes before we get stuck into a whole new season, Joel and Chris imagine what happens when a shape-shifting alien crashes the most secretive election in the world. That’s right—we’re putting The Thing into Conclave, the tense political thriller about the inner workings of a Vatican papal election.
As Ralph Fiennes navigates political intrigue and whispered secrets in the Sistine Chapel, we ask: what if one of the cardinals wasn’t just hiding a scandal—but a parasitic alien alter-ego?
Join us for theological musings, ecclesiastical paranoia, and perfectly respectful Pope vs Thing chat.
Disclaimer: In case it seems weird that we don't mentioned it, we recorded this on 2nd April, before the death of Pope Francis and the subsequent actual conclave.
