This week Gracie and Abbey discuss John Carpenter's THE THING! Arguably, the BEST horror remake of all time! We dare you to think of a better one! Oh and... there are ZERO women in this film.... Z E R O. Is it still feminist to like The Thing? Eh....let's just say that nobody's perfect.

Thanks to Lily LeBlanc for our theme music.
