You can go on YouTube for free and watch a horror classic where the primary danger is getting a little sticky. I'm Jordan Morris. And I'm Emily Fleming. Today's movie is the 1958 original version of The Blob and judging by the title, it's about how I feel

after a big Thanksgiving dinner. Am I right? See? You're right. That is. Not all of our, listen, not all of my jokes have to be about fingering. Recommend this episode to your parents. Everybody can enjoy that. Yes, listen, not all of my jokes have to be about fingering. Recommend this episode to your parents.

This is just. Everybody can enjoy that. Yes, yes, yes. We all know what it feels like after we have that big Thanksgiving dinner. To people who are not in America. Anyway. Oh, yeah, that's right.

Before we talk about, yeah, yeah, yeah. But I'm sure they have some food holiday they can just sub in there. Anyway, before we talk about this movie, which is as of this recording, streaming free with ads, we're gonna talk about something else we saw for free on the internet this week. So I had a blast looking into this movie. There's a lot to learn, a lot of fun stuff out there about this movie.

And when I was just browsing around on YouTube, the original trailer for the blob popped up. And it is just one of those great, this movie came came out in 1958 so it's got one of those trailers it's it's so fucking cool definitely look it up but but but the audio is great too Matt can you play some of it? It's indescribable nothing can stop it. This town is in danger. How can it be stopped? Mob hysteria sweeps one city before long the nation and then the world could fall before the blood curdling prep of the mob.

Starring Steve McQueen and a cast of exciting young people. Exciting young people. Yeah. First of all, no one in this movie is young. No one, for sure. There's not a single young person in this movie about teenagers. They're all at least 38 playing 16. No kidding. Yeah, I mean, if we thought the teens were old in Grease 2, this movie says, hold my beer. Which I legally purchased. The teens were old in Greece too. This movie says, hold my beer. Yeah. Hold my blob.

Which I legally purchased. Right. Yeah, and I just love that. Also, just another straight up lie in the trailer is the idea that the blob conquers a town and then moves on. It stays in one town. Spoiler alert, they get rid of the blob. They figure it out.

Kind of. Or did they? Or did they? That's true, it does end in a couple of question marks. And we're gonna have to talk about that ending because I actually believe it's one of the greatest like horror movie endings of all time, but we'll get to that.

Yes, I agree, I agree. All right, but yeah, I also just love that like voiceover that hypes you up for the movie. Please bring it back, please bring it back. It's like, it was supposed to be an ordinary Lady Raven concert, but in fact, it is a trap. Josh Hartnett and some of M. Night Shyamalan's kids

in The Trap coming soon from Warner Brothers Pictures. And it's kind of crazy too to kind of blow your wad by showing the blob because at that time it was probably like, wow, look at that blob. That's pretty good blob. Whereas like, you know, nowadays people are so neurotic about their CG that they're like, don't don't show the alien. Just don't. Listen, I, um, I was terrified by this movie because of the introduction of the blob, because when it was small and you saw the damage it could do and it was

small, it scared the shit out of me. So after that, I just knew how serious it was. And yes, it looked like strawberry preserves, but it still scared the shit out of me. The blob looks delicious. Yeah, I would eat the blob. It does. I would love to eat the blob. I would love to lick the blob.

Don't do it. I would love to dip a little something in the blob, maybe a little. But you don't wanna go in dick first into to dip a little something in the blob, maybe a little cookie. But you don't wanna go in dick first into the blob because then it's gonna just, well actually, hang on. Wait, who said go in dick first? I was talking about dipping a cookie in it. Oh yeah, okay.

I was talking about putting a cookie in it. Oh, were you okay? I fucked the blob. I mean, let's be real. If I was, you know. Well, if you're gonna die from the blob, you might as well go in goosh first. I mean, let's be real. If I was, you know. Well, if you're gonna die from the blob, you might as well go and goosh first. I mean, that's what I'm saying.

Because then it would just suck you to death from their furs. That's what I was thinking. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, because I've, listen, it would be terrible. It reminds me of the time that I thought maybe Icy Hot would feel even better than lotion. I understand that thinking. I understand that probably teen thinking.

It's incorrect by the way. Incredibly incorrect. I thought I was gonna fall off. The problem there is probably the hot part. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well the icy too, it's a mix of both. It turns out that both of those things feel nothing like the human vagina, so.

Nothing. Well, yeah, I think we can all agree. We all wanna get a piece of that tight little blob. Oh, a blob in my hair. I'm like really into those, I get a lot of Instagram ads for like harness like fashion. What's that? And it's okay.

I'll send you guys a picture of it, but it's like, so it's leather and it's like straps. So it's like, you know, like lingerie kind of, but it can go on top of your clothes kind of, but it's like a bunch of buckles and leather straps and stuff. And-

You mean kind of steampunky, vaguely steampunky maybe? Yeah, so like think Fifth Element, that bandage, white bandage dress, but it's like made out of black leather and has more straps. So I get- I like everything you're saying. Ads for that all the time, and I saw that,

and I was like, oh, I would look like, like one of those stress ball blobs that goes through the mesh that has the round little. So I would look like the blob trying to get out of a harness. Squeeze me when you're having a tough day. It'd be like, two pairs of tits were enough, but now I'm just utters, I'm just utters all up and down.

Utters and folds. Tits in the back, tits on the bottom. I look like one of those puppies, or like one of those dogs you find from the puppy mill that had so many litters. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what a harness me would look like. Eight sets of tits, yeah.

All right, fan art community, get cracking. What an intro, what a segue. You got your marching orders, weirdos. Well hey, let's talk about the blob. Yay! The blob, this maybe has the strongest opening of any movie we've ever watched. Fuck, yes it does. It starts, and I had no idea this was coming.

I had seen the 80s blob a couple times. Have you guys ever seen this movie or any of the remakes? I actually did not know that there were remakes. Oh yeah, there's a pretty cool 80s blob a couple times. Has you guys ever seen this movie or any of the remakes? I actually did not know that there were remakes. Oh, yeah, there's a there's a pretty cool 80s one. Maybe we'll get to at some point. But yeah, I'd never seen this one. And I was unprepared for it to start with the fucking swingin' isc, catchiest Austin Powers music.

It's this like kind of, you know, rock and roll rock and roll is on the horizon, but this is what we have now And then like it's jaunty. It's fun. It's swinging and then the fucking lyrics kick in It's a song about the blob before you watch the blob Matt. Cans and leaps and glides and slides across the floor right through the door and all around the wall a splotch, a blotch, be careful of the blob. Beware of the blob, it creeps and leaps and glides and slides across the floor right through the door. It's so good.

It's amazing. It reminds me so much of, did you guys ever watch that thing you do? It's one of my favorite movies. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, great movie. Me too. They make them do these beachy kind of scenes, you know, that are kind of like, you know, it's like Mickey Mouse-esque kind of thing.

Yeah. And this sounds exactly like- It's like Captain Geech and the Shrimp Shack Shooters. How did you just have that in your brain? Oh, I love that movie, I love that movie, yeah. Yeah, that was wild. We're not the Wonders, we're Captain Geech and the Shrimp Shack Shooters. How did you just have that in your brain? Oh, I love that movie. I love that movie. Yeah. That was wild. We're not the Wonders.

We're Captain Geech and the Shrimp Shack Shooters. That is an amazing pull. We're the O'Neaters. The O'Neaters. O'Neaters. Yeah, that's amazing. This music is like the kind of music that middle-aged people in the 60s would fuck to.

You know, it was like, they were like, no, you know, we're not going to have sex with Sergeant Peppers. You know what it was like, they were like, no, you know, we're not gonna have sex to Sergeant Peppers, you know what I mean? Like the- The people who like this hate the Beatles. Yes, exactly. They're like, what happened to real music? Oh, with their long hair.

Yeah, with their long hair. With their pelvis- Wait, wait, wait a minute. So this is like the 1950s version of buh-buh-duh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh- It's literally the same. It's the same shit, yes. I loved this song. I wanted to know everything about it. It was a hit song.

This was like on the radio when this movie came out. No. It was written by Burt Bacharach. No. Classic American songwriter, Burt Bacharach, the guy who wrote Rain Drops Keep Falling on My Head, Yeah. wrote this, the Blob song. Doesn't it feel like, OK, so Lumbelina, we just talked about recently and it had, who was the songwriter for that one?

Barry Manilow wrote one. OK, I? Barry Manilow wrote a lot of them. Okay, I get Barry Manilow and Burt Bacharach kind of confused in my brain sometimes. That's reasonable. I bet they like each other. Barry Manilow and Rod Stewart, I got mixed up. I don't know what they sound like. That's the hair, I guess.

It's the hair. These are all similar vibes. These are similar men, similar audiences, but yeah, the blob song fucking rules. And then our first scene, it's up at Makeout Point where we have Steve and Jane. Steve is played by Steve McQueen. I think this is one of his first movie roles.

I think he's the tallest person in the movie. Tallest guy. And we'll bring back a segment we haven't done in a while. He is absolutely, positively the oldest teen. Oh, is that, sure. I think we've done that before. Oldest teen. He was, he, never once in this movie

is he convincing as a teenager. He was 28 when they shot this. And it is a, it is a Cigarettes for Breakfast breakfast. 28. This guy. Yes, it is. Crow's feet for days. That guy's got a just an entire foot locker of crow's feet. He's hot as hell. And I guess it looks amazing. I mean, he's a hot dude. But wow, I think you just accept anything when somebody is that charismatic and hot. Yeah. But I loved watching him talk to his dad later in the movie

because I was like, it's two colleagues. These are two colleagues. They're coworkers. Yeah, these are guys. They're going to go into early. These are guys who golf together. Yes. Yes.

These guys are for sure wife swapped while listening to the blob theme song. Yeah, they both got vasectomies the same year. Like, together. Put your keys into bowl. Put your keys into bowl. Put your keys in this bowl. That's a better way to put it.

So I will say, I'm gonna have a hot take here. I think this will get me in trouble with a certain segment of Turner Classic movies, guys, but I feel I have to say it. McQueen obviously a hunk oh my god those baby blues Jeepers Creepers where'd you get those peepers you know dude looks cool in a sweater no one looks cooler than he does on the poster for bullet as far as an actor there there's never been anything there for me. He's always been pretty bland in my book.

Very fun to look at, obviously. Very charismatic. Yeah, okay, yeah, I might say I'm not getting any charisma from him. Well, yeah, that's very true, because if he had more charisma, I think he could have convinced the people of this fucking town that something was amiss.

That there was a blob. He has ten chances to explain the blob. He can never do it. He can never do it. He can never put something and my... And I get it, it's hard to explain what a blob is, but just say blob. Wait, does anyone say blob? No.

I think the title of this movie was originally something else. It was originally called The Gunk or something like that. Oh, yeah There's already a comic book called it. So they had to change it Yeah Okay, okay How would you explain to an officer what you saw? You know what Emily fucking great point? I don't know that I would be able to. Well give it a shot.

I'm the officer and like, okay. You're the officer. You seem really out of breath, kid. What's going on? Officer, I know it seems like I'm up to teen pranks, but I'm not. There is, I saw something. It was a-

Oof, already failing. Yeah, fuck, you're right. Okay, Steve McQueen. Okay. I can do it. Okay, Emily, do be the cop. Okay, hey, what. Okay. I can do it. You can you do okay, Emily do be the cop. Okay. Hey What's going on kid? Oh God? Thank God you're here officer Something killed the doctor

Okay, what did you kill the doctor? No, I didn't kill the doctor. I'm gonna need more details Okay, a thing from outer space killed the doctor. He's on drugs kill him I'm her partner. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It looks like lava. Let me give it a shot. Let me give you a shot. All right, OK.

You guys both play cops. Hi, this is Officer Lieb and my partner. Just name yourself partner. Officer Lieb, we're brothers. OK. OK, listen, I know this is gonna sound out of the ordinary. Hi, I'm Emily, very nice to meet you. Appreciate what you do in this small town.

Absolutely. You know, it's nice to hear that. Wherever I go, people, I swear, they have no respect for cops these days. And that's why I wanna come to you, very calm and cool-collected, even though I've seen something horrible. There is this giant mass that's-

Put your hands down, ma'am. Okay. Put your hands down. It's on drugs. There's a mass that's consuming people and I don't know if it's an oil slick or what it is, but people are like drowning in it. Oh yeah.

Maybe that would be good enough. Instead of going, it's a being. Sure. I would just lie and be like, hey, some lava, you know, if you know fucking but you want to be prepared But of course nobody was prepared until the last five minutes of the movie. Yeah, they really figured it out at the end I was watching the like, you know, and there were no clues leading up to it. No. Yeah, there was zero They gave you nothing and I think this as a movie was like getting closer closer to the end

I was watching I was like they ought to wrap this up There's like three minutes left This 80 minute movie this movie was written in a weekend on speed Sweet at the Chateau Marmont like yes So yeah, so they're they're making out at makeout point They're looking at shooting stars and she's like, have you ever brought anybody up here before, he says no, but you bet he probably has. He probably has. Look at him, he's 30.

Yeah, I brought my first wife up here. I've absolutely been married before. Okay, so there's no, you don't see anyone smoke in this movie, but there is a scene where you can see a plume of smoke from behind his back, and it's because he was smoking between takes, and he would just put his cigarette behind his back to do his line.

Damn. Dude, love the smoke. I love that. That's insane. Kind of a power move, huh? Isn't this like, isn't this one of his like first roles? Am I wrong about that? No, maybe it's not. I of a power move, huh? Isn't this one of his first roles? Am I wrong about that? No, maybe it's not.

I think so, yeah. He's definitely like, yeah, this is definitely before he did Bullet and The Great Escape and stuff like that. It's just wild that it takes a lot of balls to be like, I know I'm not a movie star yet, but daddy needs to smoke between shows. I think that if you were a man in Hollywood, you pretty much could do anything at that time period.

I miss those days. All we've ever heard of is actresses being difficult. I've never heard of an actress from the golden age of Hollywood being hard to work with. Even from the modern age of Hollywood, I think there's one guy, it's Russell Crowe. Only guy who's ever been called difficult. No, Christian Bale has too. But he always gets work, so it doesn't matter. Yeah, it's true.

It's part of the process. It's part of his. Well, I think that, well, I've heard rumors, but my favorite thing is it's on YouTube, and you can watch the clip of Christian Bale having a hissy fit on the set. Oh, I love it. I listen to that regularly.

It's so funny. And he's got a big, thick Newsy's accent while he's doing it too. That's great. Oh, right. You forget he's a real blimey, crikey guy. Yeah, yeah. He's a real, you what, mate?

He sounds like a chimney sweep. His normal speaking voice is Mary Poppins's friend. I always forget that he's British. I don't know. But yeah, he throws a little hissy fit He sounds like a chimney sweep. His normal speaking voice is Mary Poppins friend. I always forget that he's British. I don't know. But yeah, he throws a little hissy fit because somebody walks by, which yes, that was a bad mistake and that person is going to get in big trouble for that.

But boy, the flip out is funny. Yeah, and that accent yelling at you, very funny. Oy there, oy there, governor. It's funny because I think, I think that freak out happened on the set of that like bad Terminator sequel. It's like nobody remembers and was bad. It's like, well, he probably knew that and he was like freaking out. Yeah, you might be right. Let's just get this over with.

So this would be a great movie if you were walking through the background. Yeah, I lost a bunch of weight. Not enough to, I enough to lose weight I put on 30 pounds I take off 30 pounds nobody cares oh it's the machinist oh that's true so the blob yeah the blob okay so the make out section the make out session is interrupted by a meteor they're like oh my gosh We have to go find it and it lands on a farm an old farm guy Some some call them farmers. I call them old He comes out of his farmhouse and he sees the meteor and he just starts up poking it because that's, you know, when you see a weird object

possibly from space, you gotta start poking it. It's the logic in all of the aliens movies too about like, let's get as close to this as possible. Right, but if this happened in your backyard, like what would you do, just run or would like go out and take pictures with your phone? Yeah. Emily, you're bringing up a lot of good points

about the logic of this movie. Yes, I would also, I would poke. You're right. I would poke too. Right, well, I just like thinking about what I would do. I don't know why. I just put myself in this movie because it's a lot of back and forth

of who's gonna do this. Could you do it? No, you can't. And then could you do something? No, it's like that. So then you just get in your brain and you go, what would I do? Cause I would love to push this narrative further, faster.

And so yeah. This movie is 80 minutes, this movie could be 20 minutes. For real, exactly. If you combine the important stuff in this movie that makes the story, 20 minutes. Exactly, I mean I feel like The Birds was like this. God, the the peak of vintage horror or like older, you know, 1950s horror to me and the pacing of the scary scenes when it was just like

you have a little respite and then it's like, oh, fuck another scary one. And the rhythm of that movie is so amazing. This movie, it was just sloppy Joe. Yeah it was literally that's what I would tell the cops. There's a giant sloppy Joe and it ate a farmer and a doctor. Yeah fair. So yeah so this farmer he's poking the blob the blob gets him in the hand looks pretty cool he gets like blob all over his hand. It's scary. It is pretty scary and he's like running around, he runs through the street and you know, kind of comes across the teens

who are going to find the meteor. They, he reveals his hand and it looks like a close up of one of those like roasted chickens you get from the supermarket. Maybe he just shoved his hand in one of those for the shot. Anyway, so he's running around, he gets blobbed. Some bullies come and start hassling the teens. These guys are also in their mid-30s probably.

But they're very like norm core bullies. They're very like nicely dressed. Like I don't think there was like, were greasers around yet? Were there greasers? It's the 50s, so yeah, there were greasers, but those guys weren't greasers. Okay, can I? Those guys were jocks.

Yeah, or just like teens, cause remember we watched a Walk to Remember not too long ago. Oh yes. His buddies weren't, and they were just teenage, you know, popular douchebaggy boys. Right, right. Like, I feel like this is stuff that, you know, they turn out to be just normal teens later on. Yeah, and they actually don't end up being bullies,

which I kind of loved. They just liked fucking with Steve McQueen because he's the hottest guy in school and the oldest. Yeah. Hey, come on, buy us beer, buy us beer. Come on, grandpa, let's drag race. Like, yeah, come on, buy us beer, buy us beer. Come on, grandpa, let's drag race. Like, yeah, exactly. Help us do our taxes.

Come on. We're grownups, too. Hey, can you can you recommend a good CPA? So the the norm core bullies, they challenge him to a drag race backwards. Oh, my gosh. gosh ripped from the headlines Probably there was probably a lot of drag racing in the news at this time. Yeah They do it. They do like a backwards drag race So the cops pull him over and he like and I guess at this point they've just kind of forgotten about the blob

They've forgotten about what happened to the farmer and they're just like taking this detour to do this drag race what happened to the farmer, and they're just taking this detour to do this drag race. Was the girl in the car with him? Because I couldn't- Yeah, she was, and she's just having a great time too. She's just kind of along for the ride here. She just goes along with fucking anything. Yeah, I felt that too. Unless there's a dog,

and then she's gonna be real upset. Yeah, I kind of felt bad for her, because the movie starts out where she is clearly into Steve McQueen and Steve McQueen is kind of giving signals that he's maybe been to this makeout point before and she's a little like disappointed but she's still down to make out and then all of a sudden they're on this wild goose chase finding like a farmer and you know he's got a blob on him they go to a doctor's office and then as soon as like they're done with this some teens come out. They're like hey, we're gonna drag race, but you know

Backwards and and then they keep like hey, let's go see a movie. I'm like bro. You're on a date Yeah, you're on a date with a girl at some point. He tells her like yeah, I'll make it up to you I'll let me get you a sandwich. I'm like dude. You are about to fuck. Yeah, yeah It's a sandwich at this point is not like just say I'll make me get you a sandwich. I'm like, dude, you are about to fuck. Yeah, yeah. It's a sandwich at this point is not like just say, I'll make it up to you by right now, going back to make out point and having sex. Sure. I felt like horny and frustrated for her.

Yeah, but also I, OK, if I was on a date and we ran into somebody that needed help and the dude was like, I'm taking charge and I'm going to help this man. I'm sorry about this, but we're going to go together. I would be so wet like a minute ago. And I would go along too because honestly, I'd like to help in that situation as well. She seemed like a nice girl who wants to help. And so I thought they were perfect for each other. I agree. but then after you have helped If a bunch you have post help sex the hottest exactly instead they're like hey we're gonna go see a style they call it

Yeah, yes and said he's like hey, we're gonna go see a spooky movie and i'm just like Bro, do you know I don't even think you want if you don't want to date her. Just let her know don't lead her You know don't lead her on. Yeah, what do we think about their chemistry in this movie like she looks like 18 and he looks like sure papa yeah yeah hot papa manager of a gas station looks like a dad that's sad that he got married young. He looks like a high school women's tennis coach and she is one of- Hey, my dad was the high school tennis coach in my high school. He looks like your dad. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. My dad's pretty good looking. Is that weird to say? No, not at all. My dad's ugly. Is that weird to say? I have a hot dad. I don't even remember what mine

looks like. I'm sorry for bringing up dads. Hot, uggo, no idea. Help me. What did that look like? Anyway, so they take the blobbed farmer to the town doctor. He calls in a nurse and it's like she is just there to die. She's just been called in to kill. And he says to her, check his pulse. I'm like, you haven't done that? Yeah. He's been laying here.

That's the job of a nurse, is taking vitals. I'm the doctor, I can't check the pulse. Well, hang on. So when he brought him in, the doctor sedated him, which is very nice because he was consumed by the blob. But, and so he got to be hopped up on drugs when it happened. Yeah, while he was consumed by the blob.

Exactly, so that's the best case scenario for that. That first victim. But he had already checked on him, but she's gotta go back in and check on him again. I think that's what the job was. Yes, I agree. But also, can we talk about the house that the doctor's office is in?

Because oh my fucking God, that house is so beautiful. It made me go, I wish doctor's offices were in old Victorian style beautiful houses. I would go more often. Cause I don't wanna know about my cholesterol this year. I knew last year and that's enough for me. Yeah, no, I feel you. I do wish doctors offices were not in giant disgusting

like sterile yet gross medical centers that are like fluorescent lighting and like give you high blood pressure when you walk in. I'd like to go to a place where I'm just like, this is just a really homey little office. Yeah, this is a house from Meet Me in St. Louis. Yes, there's mahogany. Yeah, but I loved his doctor's office.

And I think, I also can, is it too early for HunkRotch? No, no, no, no, actually I was just gonna say I didn't really have a Hunkwatch for this one, again, not a Steve McQueen fan. Yeah, Emily, what do you got? It's Hunkwatch. Yeah, the doctor, I like him, I think he's cute. He's basically wearing the same glasses

I'm wearing at the moment. But I don't know, I just liked that he just went, you know what, come inside, I know I was going somewhere, and you know the that he just went you know what come inside I know I was going somewhere and you know what that's like when you're just about to leave work and they make you come back in Oh, yeah, he was just very thoughtful handsome. I the town doctor come on. I would never happen today But a big you showed up to a doctor's office being eaten by the blob as the doctor was leaving He'd be like go to the ER. That's what he would say.

Something tells me that town doesn't have one. I don't know. It should have an ER. There's all that drag racing. That town has a guy's house. Yeah, exactly. Anything that's wrong with you, you have to go to this one guy's house.

Yeah, there was no hospital. Or there's also an old lady living upstairs. The old lady who lives upstairs wanders down at some point. It's so jarring. I'm like, oh yeah, an old lady living upstairs. Look at the old lady who lives upstairs, wanders down at some point, it's so jarring. I'm like, oh yeah, this is just a house. I guess multiple people live here. I love that, I love that. Yeah, there's a lot of cute little

neighborhood-y things here. Oh yeah, yeah, the small town stuff in this is great. But yeah, there's a fuck ton of cops and fire people, but one doctor, we just got one, baby. And he's been eaten by the blob. Yeah, so I just wanted to say all of that. Who's the second hunk? Is there a second hunk?

I'm going to bring it up when we bring him in. So yeah, this is the only thought I had, RE hunks. I know last week we watched Godzilla, and we said that Godzilla was the hunk. I think for similar reasons I'll probably say the blob is the hunk here because I mean daddy thick? Yeah daddy thick, love a thick cord.

Blob is an absolute unit. So yeah, maybe Emily, I guess you're right. I guess I do want to get balls deep in that blob. Listen, I totally get it. It starts to attack the nurse. She splashes it with acid. It doesn't work. And she just yells, nothing can stop it. You've tried one thing.

Okay, acid can't stop it. That's not nothing. You've tried a single, she just reserved. She's just like, oh, well, I'm dead. Nothing can stop it. Well, she also had like cabinets and things that she could be climbing up on too. Sure.

She just is like, just can't go anywhere. Yeah, blob, not hard to get away from. Yeah. I felt like plastic bag, big plastic bag. Yeah. That would have done it. Big plastic bag? Yeah.

Yeah, that's true. But also, like, they've never showed it. Door with no crack underneath. Yeah, yeah, yeah's true. But also, so much to try that door door with no crack underneath. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Or like the thing is they never showed the blob going fast. Yeah, that's the other thing. It's very slow. You have to not be paying attention for very long to get eaten by the blob. Well, I think in the 1950s, they didn't have hormones in their meat yet. so they're not as fast as us, baby. Millennials hopped up on meat hormones, baby. Yeah, meat hormones. Sure. We have chicken McNugget power. Yeah. Exactly. Our bodies

are filled with chicken McNuggets and fucking microplastics. We oscillate between depressed and mad. I'm on SSRIs because my body is 90% plastic. In fact, that was probably how the blob would be stopped by eating one millennial. Oscar Meyer, Will Butrin. Yeah, exactly. The blobs like, oh, I shouldn't have eaten that girl boss. Ah! Oh boy.

Oh boy. I shouldn't have eaten that Hufflepuff. Fuck. You gotta take a nap. Anyway, so you know, they just kinda hang around for a while. Yeah, there's a lot of nothing in this movie. There's this scene of like a cop explaining how he plays chess with another guy, like over the cop radio.

I'm like, a lot checked out. No, yeah, nothing in this movie comes back. It's just this random killing time scene. And it made me think, like, was chess new? Were they like trying to get a hip reference? Like drag racing, that was new. Like, we gotta have some drag racing. It's like- Yeah, maybe chess was like,

you know, like a Rubik's cube was in the eighties. Well, were they trying to say that the cops were smart? Is that what they were trying to say? Yeah, maybe, maybe. If they were, it didn't come into play at all. Yeah, it was, I don't know. It was a frustrating addition. Also, every time we went to the police office,

I checked out completely, mentally. Because they all kind of look like the same guy. Yeah, all the cops look the same. They're not saying anything important. They're just arguing about whether or not Steve McQueen is crazy. Yeah, whether or not it's a teen prank. Not all of them.

That's right. Completely the same. OK. There's one. Oh, OK. It's the's one. Oh, okay. It's the main one. The main cop. The main cop who like makes it to the end

and he's on the radio and he's calm, cool, collected, and tall and blonde and a little chubby and I like him. That's my other hunk watch. Wanna hit the hunk watch again? Hell yeah. Yes please. It's hunk watch. You want to hit the hunk watch again? Hell yeah. Yes please. It's hunk watch. Again.

Main cop guy. I will look up who that was, but yeah. Main cop. OK, main cop. Main cop guy. He's super hot. I like him. I like them because he believed Steve.

Yeah. And he also was like, I think he was kind of the one that helped to instigate how to control the blob. Well, they figured that out accidentally at the end. They did, but he's who communicated it and believed it. He helped get everybody together to destroy the blob. He doesn't know how to make you come, but if you tell him, he will go for it.

Like, he will try. He'll buy a book on it. If you tell him what book to buy, he will go for it. Like he will try. He will try. He will buy a book on it. Tell him what book to buy, he'll buy the book. And he will give it a God's honest go, you know? Probably won't get it done, but he'll try. So Steve and Jane decide that they're gonna like rally the town to like take the blob seriously.

All their buddies are like at the movies. They're watching a spook show. By the way, one of these buddies' names is Mooch, I just thought that was kind of funny. Yeah. Mooch. Oh, Mooch. Funny name for.

I like the, yeah, all the like 1950s white dude nicknames are pretty cool, you know? It's like Mooch and Moose. One of these guys, I don't know if it's Mooch. In the movie theater, it's just eating an orange like it's anoch. In the movie theater, it's just eating an orange like it's an apple. Yeah, skin and all.

Was that weird or did you just buy an orange in a movie in the 50s and did you eat it like that? I bet he brought it in. Cause everybody just had a piece of fruit with them. You know? Yeah. Yeah. Everyone had a knife and a stick to whittle.

I can't imagine it was at the concession stand. It was like popcorn, soda pop, and one orange. I just don't see it. I bet they had some fruit. I don't know, an apple. Well, I'll tell you, not at AMC these days. They don't got any fresh vegetables. All they got is nachos and pickled jalapenos.

You know what's pretty good at the AMC these days is the old flatbread pizza. Have you tried it? I still have it. I just, I don't trust it. It's good? Yeah, I like it. It's good, but you know what else is good

is the chicken tendies. Oh, see, that's another one I don't trust. Oh, I haven't had the chicken tendies at the AMC. Pretty good. Okay, I'm gonna have to try it. I just, it's like, you know, all the movie theaters are trying to do, like, we do food now, and I'm like, I don't believe you, you know, all the movie theaters are trying to do like, we do food now.

And I'm like, I don't believe you, you know? Listen, when you're high enough while trying to go see Reagan? The Crow, no, the Crow, which. Dude, let's get blazed and go see Reagan. Yeah, no, I was blitz seeing the new Crow movie. How was the new Crow? It was bad. Oh yeah, I mean, you know.

I'm so sad about it. What a bummer. Yeah, I mean, but you know, Hubba Hubba, lead guy. He's hot. Skarsgard, all the way, hot hunk, love it. How was the soundtrack? Very good. Lot of new order and that kind of vibe.

It was a killer soundtrack. I think that we are very easily swayed by soundtracks as a group. And we'll go, piece of shit, but the soundtrack. Yeah, yeah. Like we kind of liked Godzilla because of the Brainstew Godzilla remix. Honestly.

Exactly. I forget what I rated that movie, but whatever that is gave it an extra point. Well also, Matt. There it is. That makes everything better. At some point later on in this episode, if we could play the intro song to The Blob.

Yeah, add a couple Godzilla remakes. Godzilla. Who would win, Godzilla or The Blob? I know! They go together. Yes, please. We got to figure that out. So the teens are running around warning people about the blob. They go to like a jazz party.

There's a house playing jazz. Everybody's drunk, they warn them. They find two other teens making out. They warn those make out teens. The blob gets the projectionist at the movie theater. And that's kind of like when all hell breaks loose. Like the movie theater. That was scary.

Yeah, this movie does have some like unnerving parts and this is pretty good when the blob kind of seeps through. There's the one guy he snuck up on that I believe the blob could sneak up on. He's trapped in a room, you know, what is he gonna do? It comes through the air vents and that's what, for some reason, the visual of that is so fucking creepy.

I don't know why, but it was like, was like it is creepy anything. It's no annoying the blob Goddamn blob sorry, it's not PC, but I hate the blob I don't think the blob deserve the right to vote send the blob back to where it came from Yeah, put it blob back to where it came from. Outer space. Yeah, exactly. So yeah, put it back in the meteor. Yeah. Go back to where you came from, blob.

So this is kind of like, this is like a scene. Take my blobs. I'm sorry. This is like a scene you see a lot in like, Hooray for Hollywood type montages. Everybody like running out of the theater away from the blob. They clearly didn't have a lot of extras. If you watch this, you could see the same extra run by

a couple different times. Yeah. Yeah. No, I didn't notice that. But, okay, so this movie theater that they all run out of is still there. It's in a town in Pennsylvania, and every year this town has Blob Fest.

No! Where they do a big town photo of everybody running out of the theater. It fucking rips. We need to go to that fucking theater. This is my proposal. I can't imagine we don't have one person out there listening that's not involved with Blobfest in Pennsylvania.

Please, please. Or if you know somebody, you know somebody. Get in touch with us, free with ads at maximumfun.org. That's our email. Yes. I think our first live show should be at Blo maximum fun.org. That's our email. Yes. I think our first live show should be at Blob Fest. 100%. I think so too.

The other one that I want to do, and I think maybe I've mentioned this before, but in Lone Pine, California, there is the Tremors. Oh, the Tremors town. Yeah. Well, they also have like a Tremors like con. That's great. Every year. have like a tremors like con that's great every year and like because they have a museum with all of the a bunch of the tremors themselves and props and

everything it's like whichever event organizer reaches out to us first that'll be the first free with ads live show there you go okay we want to do monster related town festivals yeah yeah we won't be doing any comedy festivals when we want to do monster related local festivals. Yes, this is us, this is totally our vibe. Look up the website for Blobfest, it looks like so much fucking fun. They play the original, they play the remake,

they have all these cool flash mob type things. Anyway, it rips. And it's where again? It's in Pennsylvania, it's called Phoenixville, Pennsylvania. Okay, we where again? It's in Pennsylvania. It's in like, it's called like Phoenixville, Pennsylvania. Okay, we gotta do it. We gotta do it. So yeah, Blob Fest it rules.

I wrote down, hey, a lot of white people running out of that movie theater, they must have been playing a Wes Anderson film festival. Ha ha ha. Funny thing to write down, Jordan. Anyway. Asteroid City has just got little blobs in them. Help, we need to get back in there to find out

what happens to Fantastic Mr. Fox. Yeah, yeah. All the blobs, they land and they're just like, I have problems with my dad. The ennui of the blob would be great. I'm perfectly symmetrical. Yeah, perfectly symmetrical blobs. Time for the Velvet Underground to play.

Anyway, so the blob, it's terrorizing the town. Will they stop it? electrical blobs. Time for the Velvet Underground to play. Anyway, so the blob, it's terrorizing the town. Will they stop it? Yes, they will. And we'll talk about how they do it right after this. We're back. It's Free With Ads. We're talking about the thrilling third act of the blob. Emily, I think we missed a subplot involving a dog.

Do you want to circle back to that real quick? Okay, thank you so much, Jordan. So the old man that died at the very beginning, that was so sad. He had a cute little dog that Steve McQueen and his lady found. And it's the cutest fucking dog. I don't know what kind of dog that is, but it's like kind of scruffy.

Oh my God, just look it up, cutest dog. It's an adorable mutt. I don't know if kind of dog that is, but it's like kind of scruffy. Oh my God, just look it up, cutest dog. It's an adorable mutt. I don't know if it's a specific breed, but it is so cute. Little toto kind of dog, yeah. But it had like, it was kind of a reddish, white and black spotted dog.

Honestly, if I were to come up with a dog in my brain of what dog I would have, this is the dog. Like truly, this is my dog. You want a blob dog? I want the blob dog. But yeah, so they find him and he's kind of chilling with them for a while. They lose him, but then they find him right before

the movie theater, there is a market they run into and they run into the blob in the supermarket. And like Steve jumps up on the like the shelving in the market, like Steve jumps up on the like, the shelving in the market, like to the top on there. And I'm like, see, these are the things people should be doing with the blob. Get up high or something. Elevation, yeah.

Treat the blob like a tsunami and go up. But so when it was happening, Steve and I should know the female character's name, because she's all we got. Jane. Thank you. Jane's the only gal we got in this thing. I wonder if Steve McQueen is like a Tony Danza where he just has to have his first name be his actual first name. He won't respond to any other name.

Exactly. But yeah, so Steve and Jane, he gets her to a closed door, which doesn't fucking matter. The blob will still get you. Well, they go into a meat freezer. Closet, oh, that's. It's a meat freezer, and it's about to get them. So that's actually maybe the one thing that is like, that's the one piece of screenwriting in this movie. Yeah.

The thing that stops the blob is cold, and they realize that because it didn't attack them in the freezer, they bring it up. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. I missed that part. But we don't know that at the time because what we hear is a dog barking. We hear the dog barking and then it turns around,

so you think it's going after the dog. Right, but then also she's like, oh my God, we have to save the dog, but he's like, listen, cut it out, we gotta go. But then I, we don't know what the fuck happened to the dog for the rest of the movie. It frustrates me so much. We don't see it for the whole rest of the movie.

I hate it. Like if you're gonna kill the dog, which I predicted they would, fucking do it. Don't leave me hanging. This is like a weird codependent limerence relationship where I don't, like I've texted somebody and they're just gonna leave me hanging. This is like a weird codependent limerence relationship where I don't, like I've texted somebody and they're just gonna leave me hanging. I don't know what the fuck's going on. Sorry, just saw this, says the dog. Yes, exactly. That is exactly how I feel about the dog. You know, there's a website called doesthedogdie.com. No way. Yes. And it is about Movies for people who want to know whether or not someone you know it does a dog die in this movie

And so you can look up if there's a movie does the dog die and it tells you yes or no Okay, I'm looking up There is no entry for the blob so unfortunately kidding, but there's an inclusive There's an issue for a lot of things. Black Swan is in this. In Black Swan, does the dog die? No. No dog dies in Black Swan. Okay, wait. It says, does the dog die? It says, although we don't see the dog after its encounter with the blob, a character says he saw it running down the street. Yes. Okay. The dog is canonically, okay. The dog is canonically fine then.

The dog is canonically fine. Yeah, but that's like a comment from somebody. So it's not completely canon, we don't know. Yeah, I mean, I think we can assume the dog's okay based on that line. I mean, he's not okay now, the dog is currently dead. Yeah, for sure. No, the dog got hit by a car.

Yeah, for sure. Yeah. But that was later. The ASPCA was probably not around at this time. Several dogs probably died. 1958, no. So okay, so the blobs attacking the town. Everybody is stuck in this diner.

It's really, so the diner at some point is supposed to be on fire, but they don't have the budget to show it, so somebody just says, the diner's on fire, and they never show it, it's so funny. But they figure out if they spray the blob with fire extinguishers, it starts to go away. So there was the connection. It didn't attack them in the freezer because cold hurts the blob,

so they start spraying it with fire extinguishers. The whole town rallies, they start breaking to the school and steal all the fire extinguishers. The whole town rallies. They break into the school and steal all the fire extinguishers. And then the cop, our second hunk watch, he gets on the radio and he's like, find a plane to take it to the Arctic. And then they do. And the final shot is like the blob in a blob crate

or something, I don't know what they put it in, like parachuting down to the Arctic, it says the end and then it turns to question marks. Yeah, I imagine they put it in a plastic bag or something like that. They had to get like a giant nonstick spatula. Right. And then like.

And they write the date on it, blob. Yeah. July 14th. 1958. 1958. Expiration date. And then yeah, so the end and then it turns to, oh, there's this weird line where they're like wondering

if anything's gonna happen. Like the cop says to Steve McQueen, like, you know, do you think that'll stop the blob? And he's like, as long as the Arctic stays cold, it feels like he's predicting global warming. This is what I'm talking about, okay? So this is why this is the greatest ending to a horror film I've ever seen,

because the only way, they specifically say the only way that we can freeze this thing is like, get me a fire extinguisher specifically a Co2 one so they have to spray it with tons and tons and tons of carbon dioxide Which in turn will heat up the planet and then they put it in the Arctic and they go I hope those ice caps don't melt and they're going to because the only way to freeze the blob was to do that. That is, I'm sorry, but this is like prophetic. This movie told the future. It's probably, I think that we've known that this was an issue for a very long time.

Yeah, but the guy who wrote the blob didn't know. He barely knew how to make a movie. That's true. He just needed 800 bucks for speed. But hang on, hang on, hang on. Here's the thing. They could have found a way to kill the blob, but he chose to let it live. But it stays, like you have to,

we got the, we have to have the polar ice caps, like, you know, stay cold. Oh, I see. So it's like, I definitely think it's a message because we could have just killed it. Like it's so, why do this? You know? And they hadn't sent a man to space yet, so it's not like they could send it back into space.

You know, nowadays that's what we would do with the blob. Oh, that's true. We would send the blob back to space. So I think there's only one solution here and it was to put it in the Arctic, but also to freeze it, they had to freeze it with CO2. I guess they didn't have liquid nitrogen yet. I don't know, all I know is that this movie

told the future of the world. But also, blob probably hung out with Godzilla at some point, maybe. There you go. Yeah, could be. They're not close to each other. The odd couple. Yeah, but they catch up if they're at the same party.

Yeah, exactly. Hey, Bloss. Hey, Bloss. Oh, hey, Jilla. What's up? They go down there with a Suthulu or whatever. Yeah. How's Karen? We're down there with a Suthulu or whatever. Yeah. How's Karen?

We're divorced. We're separated. We just... I see the kids every once in a while. We're going to stay friends. We're going to stay friends and we're going to co-parent. Hey, we're going to rank the blob on a scale of one to 10 super loud commercials, but first we're going to talk about the best lines in the movie.

Emily, what do you got? Okay, you had mentioned this earlier about the fireman being like the diners on fire, but he's also a fucking dumbass. I just love this dumbass fireman, and then my hunky cop who is like stunned by the dumbass fireman. So they, in in order they try to

kill the blob by shooting down a live power line and they're trying to like electrocute it is what they try to do first. Which okay well we'll find out how that goes so go ahead. Okay Jim. We see that with a gun. It didn't work. Why don't you do something? The diner's on fire. Well, can we put it out? Any suggestions how? I howled when this came up.

This is supposedly the head fireman saying, any suggestions? Yeah, right. If I favor the- It's your job. You're the man on fire. But he's also just like, how do you know it didn't work that like quick also? So he's just sitting there, you gotta go check the pulse

of the blob or something, stick your dick in it, you know? And he doesn't do that. But he goes, it didn't work. The Any Suggestions is such a good line. I, there are times when I'm like, how, what does this movie know? Does this movie know it's being funny? When does it know it's being funny?

There's stuff like this where I'm like, that's kinda too good a line to just be like, accidentally in there. Anyways, yeah, I question like, how conscious people are that this is kind of hilarious. Anyway, yeah. But I like that the cop here is just like, well, everyone's a dumbass.

Like every, I think he's the sheriff is what I think he is. But like, he's just like, all right, well, I guess I'm gonna figure this out with the teens. Yeah. Cause the teens are more qualified. So I guess I'll just call a guy with a plane on my radio and have to take it to the Arctic. Exactly, but the other thing that's funny

is that the firemen only have two fire extinguishers. And they're literally, that's their big job, is putting out fire and they only have two, so the teens have to go to the school and bust in and get all the fire extinguishers. Like, these teens are smarter than all of the adults. Is this movie anti-firemen? Is this movie like have buffoonish firemen characters

for like commentary? They like the cops on The Simpsons. They're just like these idiots who only have two fire extinguishers. Well, you mentioned The Simpsons and it makes me think about how, like my parents didn't let me watch The Simpsons cause they thought it made adults look stupid and kids look like smart asses and smarter than the

parents, but in kind of an insulting bad way. But this movie is like, listen to your kids. They might have something to tell you. Some information about the blob. Yeah. Maybe you should trust your kids when they tell you something is kind of the message here, but it's not like a cunty, you know, Simpsons vibe. Well, so my line of the movie is of course,

the blob theme song. So maybe we can go to commercial on a little bit of the blob theme song, Godzilla remix. Yeah. Hell yeah, dog. A splotch, a splotch, be careful of the blob. Yes! Yeah! And why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, Let's watch a blotch, be careful of the blob Yay!

And eat, and play, and fly, and run, and play We're back. It's free with ads. We're gonna rank the blob on a scale of one to ten super loud commercials. Matt, you wanna go first? Yes, I would like to go first. I am giving this, this is insane rating, I understand, but I'm giving it a nine. Wow! I'm giving it a nine because the rating scale is how, you know, how many super loud annoying ads. Yes.

Yeah, you know, it's not a tippy 10, it is a nine, it is something where I was entertained throughout the whole thing. Even throughout all the cheapness and the plot holes, it's just a really fun movie and it's not that it's bad, but it's like, it's not a great movie, but it is fun. What a fun time I had. Yep. Yep. Yep, yep. Emily, what'd you think? I'm giving it an eight because listen, it's scary.

I love horror movies. It's like my favorite genre of film. And I usually like atmospheric kind of emotional, spooky, like gut-riching stuff, but this is So I just the suspense I was on like the edge of my seat and it's like this big wad of strawberry jelly I don't know. It was the first scene with the old man broke my heart There's something about old people crying in agony. It really hurt. It hurts me. So Fucking much like it affected me in a very big way It hurts me so fucking much. It affected me in a very big way.

And so from then on I was very scared because that was a horrible death. And yeah, I thought it was a super fun movie. Again, a great movie to have on in the background of a party, maybe the Halloween party that you're. Yeah, if you're having a Halloween party, this is a great background choice for sure.

Great background movie, Cool World, and then the blob, just get them on there for, make a playlist of Free With Ads movie for this Halloween, and just get them up there. Get Godzilla, this movie, and Cool World, and your party will be lit. But yeah, I thought it was super fucking scary. I loved it.

Eight, yeah, loved it. Okay, I'll go a little lower. I'm gonna say it's a seven for me. I do think this is a bad movie, but this is a bad movie. This is a flavor of bad movie that I really like. I love, this is a movie you would see on Mystery Science Theater 3000. Such an important show to me.

So every movie with these vibes is so much fun to me. Yeah, again, great Halloween party movie, I was gonna say the same thing, and I think this would be a great horror, first horror movie to watch with a little kid. I think if you have like a eight year old kid who loves monsters but can't watch an actual, you know, more intense monster movie.

I think this would be great, it would be really fun. And yeah, I mean, just a fucking breezy 80 minutes, we love it. Oh yeah, it's fast and that's nice. Yeah, I know. It still manages to be very, very slow in places. Yeah. But yeah.

The things that it does fast are like exposition. Like electrocution, that didn't work, the diner's on fire. It does that fast. It does chess slow. Yeah. It explains long distance chess in a very, very nuanced, laborious way. All right, that's the blob.

We think you should watch it. Plug-in time. Anybody got anything? I have, Flemjims is gonna release its new fall line. It's gonna be dark witchy kind of inspired. Lot of purple, a lot of dark blues and blacks. So that's gonna be coming out soon and I'm gonna continue replenishing it

along with the new metal Hematite collection stuff. So if you haven't gone to my Etsy store yet, it's Flem Gems, if you just look that up on Etsy, that's my store. And there will be a link in the show notes. Sounds like a good option for holiday shopping. Matt, you got anything? Yeah, so if you enjoy me and my wife Francesca Fiorentini, be on the lookout if you're in Los Angeles

in December. We're going to be having a live show, a live podcast that we're going to be doing together happening at a venue to be determined. I just want to get people right now following me on Instagram. I'm at MattLeaveJokes or my wife at FrannyPheo for more information on that. So Los Angeles we are going to be doing a live podcast of The Bituation Room soon. And I will mention, when I was collecting pre-orders for Youth Group, the graphic novel from me

and Bowen McGurdy, the YA horror comedy about teenage exorcists, I did a thing at a local bookstore here called Book Soup, where if people pre-ordered it, I would just write anything they asked me to in it. So, like, we did get a lot of free with ads listeners. So I wrote a lot of like, sun or moon in the books, or hunk watch. I talked to the folks at Book Soup,

and they're just gonna let us do that through the end of the year. So if you haven't got Youth Group, if you still want a personalized copy, or if you want to get a personalized copy for somebody as a holiday gift, BookSoup.com. And I'll ask Matt to throw a link into the show notes, so yeah, any time from now

until the end of the year, if you want a personalized copy of Youth Group, you get it through BookSoup, they'll mail it out anywhere in the world, and you could put whatever dumb fucking free with ads catchphrase you want to in there. Just keep it PG-13, please, that's all I ask. So, yeah, you can get yourself a fantastic graphic novel, support a great local indie bookstore,

and also proliferate the dumb nonsense jokes on this show. All right, tune in next week when our movie will be the 1959 classic, House on Haunted Hill.
