KaiJune (5) | THE BLOB (1988)
Episode 255
Published 3 years, 1 month ago
Description
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!
