In this episode of The Remake Mistake, Mike and Eric are taken over by 1951’s The Thing From Another World and 1982’s The Thing. They discuss 1950’s sci-fi, a perfect remake, John Carpenter’s ability to pick out a fake dog, and the proper way for an alien to enter a room. Eric begs for $17, while Mike wishes John Carpenter a lively 70th birthday. All this and more while answering the question “was this remake a mistake?”
