Join Daniel and Eric as they journey to the icy isolation of a remote Antarctic scientific outpost, accompanied by their guest, Richard Rigoli. Together, they dive deep into the chilling paranoia and suspense of John Carpenter’s 1982 masterpiece, "The Thing." In a place where trust is a luxury and danger lurks in every shadow, the question remains: Who among them is truly human, and who is... THE THING?
Episode Overview
In this episode, we dissect the film widely regarded as one of the greatest horror movies of all time. "The Thing" is a landmark in both horror and science fiction, known for its groundbreaking practical effects, relentless tension, and the unforgettable sense of dread that permeates every scene.
Segments
I Coulda Done Without That
In this segment, we each pick a moment or element from the film that didn’t quite work for us. Whether it’s a questionable character decision, a scene that felt out of place, or a special effect that didn’t age well, nothing is off-limits. Sometimes, even the best films have their flaws!
Didja Catch That?
Here, we shine a light on hidden details, behind-the-scenes trivia, or subtle moments that might have slipped past the average viewer. From clever foreshadowing to Easter eggs, we’ll help you appreciate "The Thing" on a whole new level.
Let’s Get to POPPIN’!
It’s time to rate the film! Using our signature scale of one to five POPS (with five being the absolute best), we each give our verdict on "The Thing." Will it freeze at the bottom, or will it set the scale ablaze?
Final Thoughts
Don’t forget to pack your flamethrower—just in case. In Antarctica, you never know who you can trust, and it’s always better to be safe than sorry.
Tune in for a chilling discussion, some heated debates, and a whole lot of POPS!

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
