This week on Podcasting After Dark we take a look at the 2011 prequel to John Carpenter’s 1982 cult classic, The Thing!

We know that the fan reception to this movie was pretty mixed when it came out but we think it does more things right than wrong. And since The Thing (1982) is our most downloaded episode it only made sense that we tackled this entry at some point. Thankfully, Morgan Creek made certain it was sooner rather than later! But just because they provided us with the movie to review doesn’t mean we’re going to hold back. We tell it like it is, both good and bad!

So, sit back, pour a glass of whiskey like MacReady, and get ready to have your ears invaded by our breakdown and review of The Thing (2011)!
