Did You See This with Rudy Martinez
Did You See This is the podcast where I demand—I mean politely ask—a guest to watch one of my favorite movies, and then we talk about it like it’s the most important piece of cinema ever made. (It is.)
Each week, I drag someone into my film-obsessed brain and make them overanalyze everything from Oscar-winning masterpieces to “wait, why does this exist?” cult classics. We laugh, we debate, we spiral into weird tangents, and sometimes we even learn something (usually against our will).
Did You See This with Rudy Martinez
The Thing
This week we are talking The Thing! John Carpenter's horror masterpiece from 1982, and Rudy invites his friend Bale back once again to cover a messed up movie in the snow! They talk about the movies infamous negative reception upon release, it's current legacy as one of the great horror movies of all time, and the legendary special effects, one of which is Kurt Russell's beautiful hair. Will Rudy ever let Bale cover a happier movie not set in a frozen hell? Maybe next time.. but for now.. let's just sit here awhile and see what happens.
