Segments
I Coulda Done Without That
In this segment, we each pick a moment or element from the film that didn’t quite work for us. Whether it’s a questionable character decision, a scene that felt out of place, or a special effect that didn’t age well, nothing is off-limits. Sometimes, even the best films have their flaws!
Didja Catch That?
Here, we shine a light on hidden details, behind-the-scenes trivia, or subtle moments that might have slipped past the average viewer. From clever foreshadowing to Easter eggs, we’ll help you appreciate "The Thing" on a whole new level.
Let’s Get to POPPIN’!
It’s time to rate the film! Using our signature scale of one to five POPS (with five being the absolute best), we each give our verdict on "The Thing." Will it freeze at the bottom, or will it set the scale ablaze?
Final Thoughts
Don’t forget to pack your flamethrower—just in case. In Antarctica, you never know who you can trust, and it’s always better to be safe than sorry.
Tune in for a chilling discussion, some heated debates, and a whole lot of POPS!
