About this listen

On this episode, cartoonist, illustrator and toy designer Tom McWeeney delivers a masterclass on 1970s & 80s sci-fi and genre films.


Tom goes deep into what makes for effective, memorable characters. He also dissects story structure, debates werewolf qualifications, and lays out his theory of how John Carpenter's The Thing, despite being released in 1982, is the last great movie of the 70s.
