Episode 119 - The Thing From Another World

Episode 119 - The Thing From Another World

CLASSIC! That’s right, we said it, CLASSIC! It’s the sci-fi horror film that started it all by spawning countless versions of the “monster on the loose” tale, “The Thing from Another World”! Although we loved many elements (especially the titular “thing”), it was held back by some minor limitations leading to a double “rent”. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t incredible and indelible moments that pushed this movie dangerously close to “buy it” territory. Besides, who doesn’t love a plant-based alien these days?
