Missing Real with Mike D'Arrigo

Season 7 Episode 3: The Blob (with Special Guest!)


Listen Later

This 1988 remake of a 30 year-old horror classic (which was pretty scary despite having a goofy theme song written by Burt Bacharach that only Austin Powers would find "groovy") is way slimier and more frightening, partly due to the hairstyles and mullets sported by its young stars.  Even now the special effects look pretty gooey and old-school, as we watch this single-minded mass of pink jelly grow bigger and bigger as it sucks up a steady diet of townsfolk.  Thankfully, the movie doesn't suck, as most remakes do, and as of this writing nobody has attempted to remake the remake so that says a lot.  So do my guest and I on this here podcast!  Quan Ngo really knows his monsters, and this episode is a beast!  Have a listen, beware, and maybe switch on the air conditioner just to be on the safe side.  (Spoiler?  Aw, chill!)
