Oct 28, 2024•2 hr 42 min•Transcript available on Metacast In 2011 Universal had the absolute audacity to release a prequel to John's Carpenter's The Thing telling the story of the Norwegian camp we briefly saw in the original. With Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Joel Edgerton in the lead it seems as if a genuinely solid attempt was made at recapturing the magic of the first before studio interference didn't do justice to the original practical special effects by papering them over with rushed CGI, diminished character moments and re-edited story beats. Th...
