PT51: [Slasher Summer] The Blob (1988)

from Pop That! · host Pop That! Podcast

For our fourth and final Slasher Summer episode this season, Viddy Well Film Blog's Aaron Haughton returns once more to break down our last "Remake That Rocks": Chuck Russell's funhouse sci-fi gross-out The Blob. Russell's late-80s remake of 1958's "The Blob" proves the old adage: if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Acting as a sort of counter-programming to the onslaught of teen slashers and franchise horror movie villains popular during the time period, "The Blob" is content just to scare the hell out of you with a gooey monster and a ridiculously fun premise. It's time to Pop That on 1988's The Blob.
