Just in time for its 40th Anniversary, and a release in theaters, I welcome back Dozer to the Bubble so we can finally cover The Things! 1951s The Thing From Another World, John Carpenter’s 1982 classic, The Thing, and The Thing 2011.

After rewatching these movies Dozer asks, which movie is the actual remake to 1951 since both have elements from the original.

Of course we talk about practical vs special effects, the unique unit of measurement the crew for 2011 used to recreate sets from 1982, theories for the 1982 ending, we rank the remakes we’ve covered so far, and more! Thanks for listening and Keep Streaming!
