The Cast of Cthulhu will be taking a hiatus for June as Jim moves and settles into a new place, so on this episode, the podcast goes out not with a bang, but with a whimper, discussing a prequel that was so atrociously meddled with by the studio that the director retired from filmmaking for a decade. Asking questions that nobody asked, The Thing can't commit to being either a tense thriller or a creature feature and subsequently fails at both. There could have been something special and unique here, but perhaps the closest thing we'll get to the wasted potential was a crowdfunded B-movie from the creator of the covered up practical effects.
