Bonus! - Pt. 1 - Ghosts of Mars (CC)

Published: Aug. 31, 2022, 5:46 p.m.

John Carpenter isn\u2019t just The Master of Horror - he\u2019s also a low-key Master of Sci-Fi. The Contrarians would like to submit the underrated GHOSTS OF MARS as proof that Carpenter can handle more than low-budget gorefests: this is a true star-studded Hollywood blockbuster, set in Mars to boot! Listen to Alex & Julio as they discuss the implications of a Matriarchal Martian Society, the fate of Pam Grier\u2019s head, and the boldness of one of the best closing shots in modern cinema.
