ThingPosterIn Episode #12, the Pavement Pounders discuss John W. Campbell’s 1939 novella “Who Goes There?” and the three films (at least loosely) based on it, including 1951’s The Thing (From Another World) and the 1982 and 2011 films titled The Thing.

Colin is right about something!  Seth accidentally defends the Star Wars prequels!  James forgets to plug in the mixer!

(We ended up only getting the recording on the laptop mic.  It’s never happened before, at least since Jurassic Park…)
