In this episode Joel and Chris examine the 1999 superhero comedy, Mystery Men, and look at how it manages to parody superhero tropes that barely existed at the time. They also consider the short-lived career of director Kinka Usher, ponder the real life origin of Michael Bay and compare the cast of characters to real life creative types they may or may not know in real life. For the main event, our two intrepid writers consider not only how John Carpenter's The Thing might alter a film like Mystery Men but how it could provide the basis for a potential sequel.Sign up to our Patreon for monthly bonus episodes patreon.com/JustTheThingPodcast Find us on social media https://linktr.ee/justthethingpod Music by Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio
