When a mysterious meteor falls in a sleepy California town, things get dicey for Brian and Meg, two high school teens that could not be more different from each other. Something was in that meteor. Something that starts to eat people everywhere it goes, growing more and more with each meal. Will Brian and Meg be able to stop The Blob? Or will they end up being absorbed by it?

Join us as we talk about the 80s-ness of this remake of the classic 1950s film of the same name in our Critique Segment! We discuss the special effects, the music, and of course, Kevin Dillon’s spectacular mullet 🙂

In the Academic Segment, we talk about slime molds and how they seem to be able to “learn” things in spite of them not having a brain or a neuron network …

Finally, we talk about The Blob and the evil scientists that want to harness its unstoppable hunger in our Know Thine Enemy Segment. We also talk about aliens and mass hysteria, for some reason 😛
