The Thing vs. The Thing

It's a monster movie mystery mash-up, man! In this episode, I'm joined by very special co-host Brandon Case for an epic head-to-head movie showdown. John Carpenter's 1982 classic horror film "The Thing," starring Kurt Russell, is matched up against the 2011 prequel/remake "The Thing," directed by Matthijs van Heijningen and starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead. Remote, Antarctic research stations are under siege by a shape-shifting alien force. And the only thing to do about it is a flamethrower battle. The question is: Is it cooler when it happens to the Norwegian base camp or the American base camp? That's what we're here to find out.
