#90 - The Blob (1958/1988) - How Our Fears are Reflected in Film and Theme Songs For Horror Films

MAIN EPISODE: Film professor and filmmaker Cam Lewis returns to Cinedicate to discuss The Blob franchise. From the campy 1958 massive hit to the wonderfully executed remake 30 years later, we spend the next episode blobbin' it up with their surprisingly deep themes of inter-generational respect and distrust towards the Government.The Blob films center around a crashed extra-terrestrial element that harbored an all consuming entity that can never be stopped and worse of all, will never stop growing. This ever hungry monster is the backdrop to the drama that is found on screen as both films depict two very different responses from two very different generations. Listen now as we unpack how the 1950s America would react to an alien threat vs the 1980s.Support Cinedicate on PatreonConnect with Cinedicate on these social platforms!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cinedicate/Twitter: https://twitter.com/cinedicate/Discord: https://www.cinedicate.com/discord Hosted on Acast.
