Imagine being a nine year old and seeing Steve McQueen take on an alien blob as it devours small town U.S.A. and everything in its path! Well, that’s just what Tim’s dad did, and it’s left its stamp on him to this day. But did “The Blob” leave a similar stamp on Ryan and Tim? Were they able to suspend their disbelief that Steve McQueen was supposed to be a teenager? Were the special effects of the era enough to convince them that the gooey, oozie Blob was a threat? Ehhhh, sort of…? Tim had issues, giving it a “stream” while Ryan couldn’t resist the film’s 1950’s charms and gave it a “buy.” Issues aside, the guys agreed that it is a horror classic. LET’S GET BLOBBY!
