The Thing is great. I think there's a lot of interesting things going on in that film when you're analyzing it from a leftwing perspective. There's no women in the film (even the dog is male I think lol), yet it doesn't seem misogynistic. Any of the characters could have been women, but they aren't because it was a roll of the dice in-universe. Like maybe there were women working there, but the film takes place the weekend where there was a shift change.
