Episode 2: The Thing

In this second episode, Ryan and Grace discover what lurks in the hearts of men… The Thing! This 2002 spin-off/sequel to the horror classic is janky and silly as hell. We try to unpack how it works as an adaptation, what it preserves and what it leaves behind, as well as swap stories about the ways the game broke in usually hilarious, but sometimes haunting, ways. We also talk about fried eggs, other potential John Carpenter spin-offs, and the frequently ludicrous dialogue.

Content warnings include: body horror, gore, suicide, references to drug use
