The Blob Show!

Charley and Tony cover a lot of ground in this episode.  So much ground you might call it extra-terrestrial.  We come at you with a surprise back-to-back Spielberg episode, delve into the ASMR subgenre, and give a shout out to our Wisconsin listeners with regional highlight THE DUNDEE PROJECT, the short 2017 UFO-hunting documentary by Mark Borchardt.  

In this over-produced episode Charley and Tony get serious with a talk about dyno-DNA:  First in a blob-bites segment discussing an episode of "Godzilla: The Series" and later gabbing about one of the biggest blockbusters of all time.  I didn't know Charley would then give an exhaustive walkthrough of "Super Mario Bros. 2," but the episode keeps on giving.

Remember, if you scream at just the right time, it might just save your life!  Charley breaks down one of her favorite movies, William Castle's THE TINGLER starring Vincent Price.  If you're thinking, "that's great, but where has all the blob content gone?" you're in luck!  We also reprise (and rename) our Blob Bites segment, discussing S1:E16 of the Canadian program MONSTER WARRIORS: "Beware the Blob Thing."

Special guest Joey, the world's biggest fan of the moon, drops by to discuss the 1902 Georges Méliès film A TRIP TO THE MOON.  Charley and Tony also discuss various remakes including Segundo de Chomón's 1908 shot-for-shot remake EXCURSION TO THE MOON and the 1996 Smashing Pumpkins video "Tonight, Tonight" directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris.

Welcome to The Björk Show!  Charley and Tony draft Björk's music videos through the '90s.  We're talking Debut, Post and Homogenic with directorial influence from Michel Gondry,  Stéphane Sednaoui, Spike Jonze, Chris Cunningham, Sophie Miller, Danny Cannon, Jean-Baptiste Mondino, John "John K." Kricfalusi, and Alexander McQueen.  Charley doesn't have much time for small talk in this one, probably because her draft strategy is laser-focused.  

Charley and Tony return to Oz for the silent swashbuckling slapstick WIZARD OF OZ from 1925.  Silent clown Larry Semon stars in (and writes, and produces, and directs) this auteur piece alongside Spencer Bell, Oliver Hardy, and Dorothy Dwan, and we break down the gags while getting haunted from the other side of the rainbow.  Is it the ghost of Larry Semon who some suspect may have faked his own death?  Will a mule kick the scarecrow over a fence into a cactus while he tries to get his lollipop back from a duck?  Join the anarchy.

The first in, hopefully, an extended series of Godzilla coverage, Charley and Tony discuss all the monsters attacking in Ishirō Honda's GODZILLA'S REVENGE as well as their desire to try some sukiyaki and a strange pivot into the 2014 Adam Sandler film THE COBBLER.

Thank you, Montana!  We don't know our devoted Montana listeners, but we've tried to honor them with an episode in which we discuss two films shot in Big Sky Country.  Charley discusses The Carrot Monster's many doors in 1951's THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD and we rap about a much friendlier alien in 2020's SONIC THE HEDGEHOG.  

Charley and Tony are back together discussing the symbolism of Superman in the Fleischer Studios/Famous Studios animated cartoons (1941-1943): the highs of noir/sci-fi and the lows of WWII propaganda.  

Charley takes the reins in this special mini-ep discussing the 1941-1943 Fleischer Studios/Famous Studios SUPERMAN animated films.
