In this episode Joel and Chris examine the 1999 superhero comedy, Mystery Men, and look at how it manages to parody superhero tropes that barely existed at the time. They also consider the short-lived career of director Kinka Usher, ponder the real life origin of Michael Bay and compare the cast of characters to real life creative types they may or may not know in real life. For the main event, our two intrepid writers consider not only how John Carpenter's The Thing might alter a film like Mystery Men but how it could provide the basis for a potential sequel.

In this episode Joel and Chris reimagine the third film in the Bad Boys trilogy if it had been invaded by John Carpenter's The Thing. What sounds like the most unlikely pairing in the series so far may be the first to actually work! Come with us as we discover a world in which Will Smith and Martin Lawrence team up to take on a shape-shifting alien. S**t just got real.

Disclaimer: This episode was recorded prior to the 2022 Oscars, so at the time of recording Will Smith is still a very nice man and we are blissfully unaware of him slapping anyone.
