For Your Consideration

On this episode Dustin and Mike discuss the 2011 prequel (or is it remake?) of John Carpenter's The Thing, The Thing. Our coverage of Carpenter's film is, by far, our single most popular episode to date so we thought that an analysis of van Heijningen and Heisserer's film at the roundtable was the best possible way to celebrate that. Add to that the fact that it's Carpenter's birthday this week and you have a solid recipe for great podcasting.
