The Thing + 12 Angry Men: A Conversation on Masculinity, Leadership and Paranoia - with writer Alex Grass

Greetings! In this week's episode we're doing something a little different!

What do 12 Angry Men and The Thing have in common? More than you might think.

I'm joined by author Alex Grass for a thematic deep dive into Sidney Lumet's courtroom classic and John Carpenter's sci-fi horror masterpiece. We're exploring what happens when a group of men are trapped together, forced to make monumental decisions, and pushed to their psychological limits.

From the jury room to an isolated Antarctic research station, we'll discuss leadership, masculinity, paranoia, and the fragile nature of trust. What makes someone a leader when nobody's in charge? Can reason overcome fear? And when the stakes are life or death, who can you really trust?

This is one you definitely wanna check out. Enjoy!
