The Blob (w/ Colin Karwchuk)

Listen to this episode from Kill By Kill: Talking Horror Characters One Death At A Time on Spotify. Terror has no shape, but it does have a podcast!! That’s right, we’re returning to Arborville, CA, where Friday nights mean football, flirting, and a hungry mass of space gelatin looking to slurp all the meat it can off the bone in the fantastic 1988 remake of THE BLOB!! Here to help us make sense of all the space madness is director Colin Karwchuk!! [THE JESTER 2 is in theaters for special screenings Sept 15th and 16th via Fathom Events.]  We break it all down, including The Blob’s origin story, why the films are plagued by old teens, mind-bending special make-up effects, worship at the altar of Shawnee Smith, the film’s secret King-coded story, and Frank Darabont and Chuck Russell’s main character problems. All this, plus talking ribbing pleasure, bouncy theme songs, bad dates, concussion protocols, worse wigs, stealth leads, the dangers of recycling, dangerous nostalgia, puffy shirts, Craig Wasson dissing, and a very gelatinous edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!!
