KaiJune (5) | THE BLOB (1988)
from Blood and Black Rum Podcast - A Cult Film / Horror Podcast · host Ryne Barber
To end our KaiJune festivities, we turn to a remake of a classic '50s American horror film that, in our eyes, crosses over in similarity to traditional kaiju films. The Blob is revitalized in this violent, practical effects-laden movie about teenagers attempting to stop a giant monstrosity that continues to grow as it feeds on townspeople, and here we talk about the large cast, the excellent Thing-like SFX, the themes of government, and how this hews to a kaiju movie. We're also drinking Sam Adams' new Summer Adventure Lager and Take-a-Day IPA! Approximate timeline 0:00-8:00 Intro 8:00-18:00 Beer talk 18:00-end The Blob That concludes KaiJune! Hope you enjoyed.
