Take a trip back to 2011 when horror remakes were all the rage. And what better way to tackle a remake of an all-time great horror film than copping out by calling it a prequel and lifting the plot beats wholesale? It's the 2011 version of The Thing for this week's episode of They Called This a Movie.
Join us as we discuss how unnecessary this movie feels, the fact this movie made the director take a hiatus, and the awful CGI.

This week is Wrestlemania Week, so as a bonus episode, we are trying out some new content.
We recently launched a Patreon and are currently working out what kind of bonus material our listeners would be interested in, so we're going to do a series of "pilot episodes" in the next coming weeks to test out some ideas.

Join us as we discuss Gary Busey's trajectory from Oscar-nominated actor to unhinged maniac, praise the dog's acting ability, and question the quality of video games in the movie.

You know what movie is awesome? Rambo III. So it would make sense that an Italian-produced ripoff would be just as awesome. You'd be wrong, and so were we, as we watched Strike Commando from Italian smut-peddler and occasional action film director, Bruno Mattei.
Join us as we discuss the similarities between the two films, Reb Brown's charisma, and praise the final act's gratuitous use of exploding bodies.
