The Blob Show!

Hey Blobheads! Charley and Tony discuss all things Blob in THE BLOB SHOW! Charley is an 8-year-old punching above her weight in discussion on classic monsters, regional horror, the Wonderful Wizard of Oz, retro Nintendo systems, genre fare, and the long arc of how The Blob has infiltrated popular culture. Tony-- her dad-- curates the programming, holds an MAS in Film Studies and is a firm believer that movies play an important part in our cumulative cultural development as a species.
