In our series "Have You Seen?" we discuss a movie that some of us know well and others have just now seen for the first time. Our conversation focuses on the experience of someone watching the movie for the first time today and their reaction.
This week we discover John Carpenter's horror classic The Thing from 1982 about an Arctic expedition that discovers a shapeshifting alien parasite. We talk about why this movie is one of horror's all time greats, why it was not well received at release but has grown in appreciation since, how The Thing's creature effects are second to none even 40 years later, and much more.
