It's like a virus. So what do we do with any virus? Quarantine. We isolate it and then we kill it. Join PJ and Derek as they revisit the Norwegian outpost of The Thing (2011), Matthijs van Heijningen Jr.’s chilling prequel to Carpenter’s iconic masterpiece. In this episode the guys unpack the film’s strengths and missteps, from its tense early moments and creature concepts to the infamous shift from practical effects to CGI, and how it expands the lore established in the 1982 classic. 📺Follow us @thirdchannelpodcast on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, & YouTube and @thirdchannelpod on Bluesky, Twitter, & Letterboxd.
