About this listen

On this episode of Second Chance Cinema, MC and Spro revisit the 1951 sci-fi classic The Thing From Another World—a film brought back to our radar thanks to our interview with Jayson Dumenigo. Known for cinema’s first full burn, this Cold War-era chiller pits scientists against soldiers in a frozen standoff over knowledge, survival, and an alien threat. Along the way, we dive into the film’s sharp dialogue, explore its themes of science vs. the army, debate black-and-white vs. colorized viewing (with MC firmly in the color camp), and even bring poetry into the mix with acrostics chosen by the Wheel of Poetry.
