Nowadays horror remakes are a dime a dozen. But if you were to ask any contemporary horror fan what their favorite remake of all time is, chances are they'll say John Carpenter's 1982 remake of The Thing From Another World. Or as he called it, The Thing. But what was it about that first film which made Carpenter want to tackle it at the pinnacle of his career? And what about the 2011 Mary Elizabeth Winstead starring attempt to reboot (retell, sequelize) it? Join myself, Matt, and the returning Mik Duffy as we attempt to answer these questions.After John Carpenter's 1982 version of The Thing came and went with a whimper, there were zero plans to bring the nihilistic vision back for another go around. But something happened once Thing killer E.T. exited theaters and the downslide of Carpenter's career started. The Thing was given more looks, and before pundits knew it, the movie was one of cable tv's most watched films. It started appearing on horror lists year after year. And, unbelievably, it got a damn video game! So obviously The Thing was primed with popularity. Cut to 2011. No Carpenter. No Russell. Yet, it girl at the time Mary Elizabeth Winstead was cast in a role clearly designed to be different, yet Ripley-esque. How did she do, and is this, like its 1982 predecessor, a movie that was lambasted at the time only to deserve a second look?Listen in as Matt, myself, and Mik conclude our look at The Thing franchise!              The Thing (2011) (?/10, ?/10, ?/10) CLICK ABOVE TO LISTEN NOW!Subscribe to Binge Cast on iTunes

Join myself, Matt, and the returning Mik Duffy as we attempt to answer these questions.Director John Carpenter was in a spot of power in 1982. His first horror film Halloween had already become a bonafide hit, and while The Fog didn't set the box office afire, it gained him even more respect within horror circles. Then, when fellow horror savant Tobe Hooper (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) was taken off a project that would have brought Howard Hawks' vision to terrifying life in the 80s, Carpenter was more than happy to take the reigns of The Thing from his hero Hawks' hands. But a low box office take would mean that Carpenter's career cold be in trouble. So how'd he do, and what do we think all these years later? Is its eventual popularity -starting on the home video market- something well deserved? Or were critics like Siskel & Ebert right in denouncing The Thing as trash that shouldn't be picked up again?Join myself, Mik, and Matt as we look at the film that helped bring one career down a notch, while Carpenter's stumbled. Which one was well deserved, and which one was just right?

But one which has been left out in the cold is Howard Hawks. Often called one of the greatest storytellers of all time, Hawks had done everything from the original Scarface to Red River. But in 1951, Hawks took it upon himself to enter the realm of science fiction by adapting the story Who Goes There by John A Stewart. But while the directing credit lies with Christian Nyby, ther are people who say it was actually Hawks who directed the film. So what is the real story? And what is it about this movie which has everyone from Ridley Scott to Quentin Tarantino citing it as a major influence on their careers?
