One of the greatest horror films of all time, John Carpenter's The Thing.
Discussed by genre nerds for almost 40 years now, the mysteries of this movie have remained a hot topic for all fans.
This week, Pete and a special guest break down all of the hotly debated questions of this classic film, and use evidence and analysis to find the answers.
Definitely watch the film first, and then check out this episode for a fun breakdown of a great film.
We've finally reached the end of the Star Trek! This thrilling episode leads us to the final conclusion: is the Odd Numbered Movie Curse real??
We enter the modern era and a rebooted universe (courtesy of JJ Abrams). What is Star Trek in the 21st century? Is it a smashing success, a disastrous failure, or rollercoaster of ups and downs like the earlier parts of the franchise?
Tune in for all the answers, history, and more!
We're back for Part Two of our exploration of the Star Trek "Evens and Odds Curse"
This episode sees us winding down on the last of the Original Cast films, and then exploring the era of the Next Generation crew. Star Trek was a powerhouse of TV in the 90's, but was it the same at the box office?
And how do our findings about the curse hold up this deep into the franchise? See what we learn this week as we continue our three episode journey!
In this week's episode, Pete is joined by friend and Trek expert, Ostron (visiting from the D&D podcast, Heroes Rise) to discuss a long held belief that the Star Trek movie franchise is cursed. Specifically, that every odd numbered entry is doomed to fail.
Join us as we tally up box office receipts, critical reviews, and audience scores to determine if this curse is truth, myth, or something else entirely. We also figure out if the cast-era figures into the equation. Original series, Next Generation, and the Reboot timeline are all examined under the microscope.
This episode also works as a timeline and behind the scenes history of the Star Trek movie franchise. It should be fun for fans and newcomers alike. Join us in this first part of three, because this franchise spans across four decades and (so far) thirteen films!

When someone says "Jason Voorhees", what do you picture in your mind?
A hockey mask wearing, machete wielding menace who stalks through the night, seeming to appear out of nowhere when his victims thought they had escaped?
What if I told you that popular image might not be correct?
This week, Pete and a guest break down the tropes of the Friday the 13th franchise and figure out what is truth, and what is pop culture myth.
Does he actually kill most of his victims with a machete?
Is he a slow stalker like Michael Myers, able to keep up despite his victims sprinting in terror?
Does he have the power to appear out of thin air around corners?
Join us and find out the answer to all these question, on the MoviePete podcast.
