This week we are joined by Jake DeSersa to face the invaders of The Thing from Another World (1951) and The Thing (1982) and discuss performative masculinity as a queer suppression tactic, using violence to gain positions of power, aliens as a metaphor for othering, and Norwegian language spoiler alerts.
