KaiJune (5) | THE BLOB (1988)

<p>To end our KaiJune festivities, we turn to a remake of a classic &#39;50s American horror film that, in our eyes, crosses over in similarity to traditional kaiju films. <em>The Blob</em> 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 <em>Thing</em>-like SFX, the themes of government, and how this hews to a kaiju movie. We&#39;re also drinking Sam Adams&#39; new Summer Adventure Lager and Take-a-Day IPA!</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Approximate timeline</strong></p> <p>0:00-8:00 Intro</p> <p>8:00-18:00 Beer talk</p> <p>18:00-end <em>The Blob</em></p> <p><br></p> <p>That concludes KaiJune!
