Here\\u2019s the thing about THE THING - it might be the best movie we\\u2019ve ever covered? Emily St. James joins us (and joins the five-timers club!) to discuss Carpenter\\u2019s Arctic paranoia classic, which was unfairly maligned upon release. Topics covered include the \\u201cBrimley COCOON Line,\\u201d the film as a trans allegory, and dogs getting their faces peeled back like bananas.
