Summary

It's the 2024 Halloween episode in which Derek and Aaron cover the last "IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE!!!!!!" themed Season of Spoop film! They talk about the 1988 sci-fi horror remake of "The Blob" (original released in 1958) directed by Chuck Russell and written by Russell and Frank Darabont. They discuss the amazing practical effects, how this remake made the Blob actually scary, and the movie's critiques on society, government and the original movie. They also get into the subversive writing, flipping character roles, and many other aspects of the movie! Derek and Aaron are just guys in plastic suits who show up every time a meteor falls.
