Don't touch that dial.

You're tuned in to the Dread Podcast Network.

You are now listening to Postmortem with Mick Garrus,

where the most influential voices in horror cinema

will spill their guts to the renowned horror director, writer, and producer.

Now here's your host, Mick Garrus.

I'm Mick Garrus, and this is Postmortem.

However, we are not broadcasting from Nice Guy Productions World Headquarters,

overlooking the glamorous San Fernando Valley,

but rather this was recorded live at the Grimfest Film Festival in Manchester, England.

And it's a special event.

We are here to celebrate John Carpenters the Thing,

and celebrating with me is the great actor, writer, from Inside No. 9.

Reese Shear Smith.

And we express our love for John Carpenters the Thing on its 40th anniversary

at that festival, and I thought I would love to share this conversation with you.

So here we go.

Just to say that this film was chosen by Reese as his favorite monster movie.

So we're so excited that you chose this film.

It's the 40th anniversary 4K Remastered version

that you're going to see later tonight, so it's very cool.

I'm going to hand you over to Mick Garrus, who is going to host this talk with Reese.
