      So often when watching RLM Jay comes across as the most stable, or mature, or dispationate (especially in relation to Rich & Mike's Star Wars & Star Trek feelings). But the moment the limbs start flying his eyes light up and he laughs. It's always the quiet ones...

    Jay and Mike, I grew up in Abbeville (pronounced "Abb-uh ville," from the French, "Abbe+ville," "city of the priest," as it was founded by a French priest. I was twelve when the production came to our quaint little town to film. The diner in the film was beloved by the town but was actually fully built for the film itself and demolished after production. The Bank of Abbeville served as the police station. If you guys ever want to visit the filming locations, let me know. I'd be glad to give you a tour. I also have (as many residents do) have a piece of the frozen Blob from the film's climax. Thanks for the great review and for giving Abbeville its due as the perfect setting for an updated 50s B-movie.

      Oh hey, I was looking at the photos they showed, and noticed that they found where the diner was supposed to be, but that there was a car park where the diner once stood. That's really interesting to hear that they actually built and demolished the place for the sake of the film.
      ...Which raises a question: Jay & Mike assumed the diner interior was a sound-stage. But if the building was built just for the film, could it have maybe been the actual interior of the building?

I looked him up in the cast list, googled him, and found all these interviews with various comedic actors saying how much he taught them and how modern comedy wouldn't exist without him. Went as far down his rabbit hole as I could and been a huge fan ever since.

    In reference to the color discussion - when the blob initially emerges it appears to be translucent. If we assume this is its natural state, then any color change thereafter must be acquired. Therefore I believe we can conclude the later reddish/pink color it assumes later is actually the flesh and blood of its victims, not some inherent quality of the blob itself.

Looking back, I think I was caught up in the rollercoaster while the movie was on, and the real magic came after when I reflected on it. That factor was magnified when I rewatched it a couple of times, and every time after that, I get a kick out of how well put together it is, and of course the details that I forget about over time.

      Here’s a fun fact! Interestingly enough, the kid originally wasn’t supposed to die. Allegedly, the child was supposed to survive the film alongside the brother. However, there was a conflict with the child’s mother as she wasn’t enjoying her son being a side character. This progressed to the point that she was wanting her son to be more important than the main character. The director got so mad he ended up asking the kid if he would enjoy his character having an awesome death scene to the child actor’s excitement. Because it didn’t change the story, they fit it in last minute of the scene’s production. The mother was unaware of this decision until after the scenes had been filmed.

    I have been a big fan of the original Blob since I first saw it on PBS as a kid. When they remade this movie, there was a documentary about it on HBO or something before it came out, and they talked about a lot of what they were going for, like how the Blob starts off as white and becomes more pink as it consumes blood and meat. Apparently, some of the special effects guys from the original visited the set while they were working on the special effects and gave their approval, saying the 1988 crew pulled off stuff they dreamed of doing on the original, but didn't have the tech. Good stuff.
