... And Mike's complementary portrayal of "rambling alcoholic trying for minutes at a time to tell you about things you don't particularly care to know" is absolutely brilliant!
They talk about the Blob’s colour... one thing they didn’t get into was how it was just no colour and then got pink and then darker and darker as it consumed human flesh.

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?

It's why you people have so many mausoleums. It not fun having the swamp the dredge up a couple corpses, then have them float on by you in the streets; Expecially when you're are going to brunch after church or something like that. Kinda ruins the old appetite right?
I saw the original... Surprisingly..I like it..for a movie of that time. McQueen seems stuck out , like he's from the future tho. His demeanor..or acting style just seems out of place. He's ahead of his time, in terms of his performance.
The original movie taught Steve McQueen to take cuts of movie profits instead of direct payouts since he lost a lot of money by not taking a cut from The Blob.
Del Close, who played the priest in THE BLOB, was a dear friend of mine. And one of the founding fathers of improv comedy. And Mike should be pleased that Del *did* ad-lib "Trojans, please" to the druggist, or so he told me.
I found out about Del Close because of his bit part as the English Lit teacher in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, the "Innnnn...... hhhhwhat....... hhhwaaaayyyyyyy......" guy. 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.
Which makes it more horrifying. But really, I don't consider the people consumed as "victims" (as that gives more of a slasher film implication), but rather, prey. The blob is singular in its purpose, to consume.

I literally, still to this day, cannot watch that scene. Every other scene I can handle, and I know none of it is real, but the specific combination of elements in that scene make my brain cold, in a primal, visceral manner. Every few years, I think, "ya know what, I love special effects, I know it's just corn syrup, I think it's time for some exposure therapy," and I watch it again, and I am not ready.

They did some interesting research on this; they reference the script notes, Google street map scene comparisons, seemingly ind-depth set piece analysis. Mike and Jay are better reviewers than what they project themselves to be, but I'm always impressed at the nature of how they look at things; it's genuinely curiosity-informed topics of research, which always produces more unique results than simple recitation of published facts.
For the first few minutes, I'm never quite sure just how sarcastic they're being (or not being). Once they ease into the review, though, the genuine admiration does shine through.
@@CarrotConsumer I don't think it's reasonable to expect a spontaneous bout of research or multiple viewings for a review of a new release, be it good or middling. I hate to break it to you so late in the game, but re:View segments and HitB new reviews are intentionally different for a myriad of reasons.
My favorite thing about the original is when the nurse throws a random liquid at the blob and doesn't hurt it so she screams something like "NOTHING CAN STOP IT!!!!!"
I'm aware of the fact that it was acid that she threw on it, I'm questioning the strength of an acid that would be readily available or even the most corrosive of acids in general. I'm also making light of the cheesiness of her scientific findings that nothing can stop it after such diligent and all-encompassing research into just what could possibly stop it.
@@bunnygrill Well at that point, no one's ever seen whatever this thing is before. And she's right there in the same room with it, in her shoes I'd panic and say pointless things like that as well.
@@bunnygrill also, if it wasn't a strong enough solution to melt the vessel she stored it in, then why should it melt an extraterrestrial life form that has to survive the irradiated environment of interplanetary space?
@@DistractedGlobeGuy Acids usually don't melt glass for one reason or another. But there again, at that point in the movie, those two characters don't even know that it comes from space. Literally all they know about it is it's a lethally dangerous organism (if you can even call it an organism), and it's got to be stopped by any means at their disposal.
"That guy" from Tim and Eric (Robert Axelrod) was also in two Best of the Worst movies, Alien Private Eye, and as the main antagonist in Repo Jake. In Repo Jake he had what Mike called the best line of all time, when he's instructing a porn director on what to film.
@@cognacmccarthy1796 Alien Private Eye is a hot, hot movie. I didn't see the end because I was crying too much. I give it two kisses and three wet mouths.
I know, right? This movie damn near traumatized me when I saw it! It took months, if not longer to get over it! I've only seen it once, and I want to see it again now! I was only about 9 years old when I saw it, and _that_ scene alone was absolutely horrifying! I became paranoid of sinks, drains, and vents for awhile! I'd also be looking up at the ceiling all the time, especially in the dark! It made me afraid of dark again! This movie worked! This movie was great! Horrifying, but great!
The kid w a hitless in my school looked like a cartoon nerd. His father was a small town doctor no one went to. When my gf told me she found his hitlist (went thru his briefcase when he left class, yes she was a bitch and yes he carried a briefcase), I was pissed cuz he totally could've done it.
Think the most disgusting thing about it is that it seems like it’s supposed to be comprised of writhing raw meat, fat and muscle. “Hot pink ain’t natural” says Jay and Mike. Fellas...
@@KOS_Nova Carrots do the same thing and I eat those most nights, yet I've never turned orange, so I'm gonna say you'd need to eat an absurd amount. It's caused by a pigment called carotene. iirc it usually gets converted into vitamin A, but if you're getting too much it ends up in your skin. And feathers, if you're a bird.
The main memorable thing about this movie was the kids actually getting killed. I watched horror a lot growing up and I was just use to the kids never dying and was floored when it happened here.
But that is realistic. The Hollywood trope of 'kids don't die' needs to be consigned to history. It's just a dumb relic of the 50s 'duck and cover' films that convinced people that hiding under a school desk will prevent kids being vaporized by atomic bombs.
When I was a little kid this movie horrified me to no end and gave me mad raving nightmares. It's been one of my favorites ever since. I'd say the body horror is easily on par with The Thing if not more so. Sure the thing dog was ridiculously terrifying, but come on, here we have a half-digested kid screaming in agony. The scenes presented in this video still gave me some of those good old chills.
Same here! The "sink scene" was probably the scariest for me. It's a horrifying concept! It consumes and grows, and it kills anyone that is unfortunate to get too close to it in the most gruesome ways! That movie was horrifying! I was about 9 when I saw it, and it took me months to recover! It was so scary! It's a great horror movie! In my opinion, it's not recommended for kids, even if you're with adults!

Frank Darabont understands the appeal of lore. He's like a fusion chef. All he's doing is putting the additives in that you crave to the flavours you asked for. A touch of action, a hint of romance, a hefty pinch of comedy. It might not win any Michelin stars, but, you'll defo have a queue every day.
Now imagine seeing it on tv as an adolescent. It was aired pretty frequently, back in the early/mid 90s. Even edited for tv, I remember it making me sick! Hoyever, I'd watch any time it was on!
I watched this staying over in my cousin's room in a sleeping bag on the floor, and I was probably about twelve (around 1992). It kept me awake, not really because it was scary (it did scare me though), but because my little mind kept going back over all the details of the story. 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. Great movie, and I really enjoy these re:Views, thanks guys : )
I like how bad effects or compositing don't matter when the film is great: Robocop and Terminator 1 had cheap stop motion, yet they're absolutely thrilling. Even Aliens has bad rear projection (and it already looked bad at the time), but who cares when the scene is great?
But those effects were the only "bad" ones and not considered terrible for their time at all, not to mention both examples are robots, for which stop-motion actually looks appropriate and not jarring at all.
Back in the 50's people in movies were standing and talking, sitting and talking, sometimes one person was standing and the second one was sitting ... and talking, and drinking coffee. ;)
Jay talking about silly titles, in my country the movie's title got "translated" into The Voracious Stain. Imagine going to watch a movie called The Voracious Stain...
@@adamcraig919 most of those were remakes of 50 monster movies and I think its infinitely easier to make them better because, as Jay and Mike state, those movies are insufferably boring. The only one that holds up somewhat is the fly because the entire film revolves around the scientists failed experiment. Theres no random scenes where a kid learns how to whistle from an ice cream man.
@@dugonman8360those movies were boring because they inserted long talking scenes, where the kids who went to the drive in cinema could make out during.
@@thecappeningchannel515 I know, it still doesn't excuse terribly paced movies. I would love to love those 50 monster movies if they weren't ungodly boring.
The scene when Paul gets eaten really is one of the creepiest horror scenes ever and where I first seen it it was a pretty big shock to see the guy you thought would be the hero to end up dusht that quick!
The most famous forced perspective scene: "here's looking at you, kid" at the end of Casablanca. They used a miniature airplane and midgets as the runway crew to make it seem like a full sized plane.
@@headphonic8 It wasn't the plane that was the problem necessarily, but the airfield, which was a soundstage. Not enough room for a full sized plane to make the background look convincing.
The guy who played the reverend was actually in the 70's "Beware The Blob!" as well. Also, I think the word they're thinking of is "satchel charge", not "army sack".
Here's a name some '80s movie buffs might recognize: Pons Maar. He plays the theater manager, and also played Foo in _The Golden Child_ and Saurod in _Masters of the Universe._
I want a montage of all the people who get eaten/digested alive by the titular blob from this film set to the theme song from the 1950's version! That would have made the ending of this re:View episode the best thing ever! (And this still one of the best episodes so far)
I made the mistake of watching parts of the Blob as a kid while we were doing ceiling repairs, so you could see the pink insulation. Sleep did not come easy that night.
When I was about 9, I saw the entire movie, during the day too, with my family. Let's just say it damn near traumatized me! I was paranoid of sinks, drains, and vents! It took months for me to get over it! I only saw it once too, and I'm curious to watch it again, decades later! _That_ movie was a horror film! Nothing else I saw as a kid came remotely close! I'd look up at the ceiling a lot, and for awhile, it made me afraid of the dark again! That movie worked!
Man, you guys are great. The part when you guys are discussing the graveyard next to the football field and how you guys just naturally did research just to satisfy your own interest in the film. I admire the passion.
Not necesarily, i dont remember the relation of everyone i went to school with in an even smaller village, but i guess it depends on how attentive the person in question is. xD

Less overt but kind of a funny setup: When Paul asks Meg about her plans for the evening it immediately cuts to Flagg foreshadowing she wouldn't be spending the evening with Paul.
I like how the characters learn things organically by seeing things happen earlier in the film and repeating it later on. But at the same time, I find it more efficient, from a storytelling perspective, to have all human knowledge delivered through a beam in their forehead, then have that character share the knowledge afterwards with the other humans.
When they were talking about forced perspective I was disappointed Mike didn't bring up Star Trek: The Motion Picture's main engineering set. The long horizontal shaft is forced perspective in order to look longer. Take that as you may. Come on, guys. These jokes write themselves!
I remember watching the kitchen scene when I was a kid and the guy's skull collapsing going down the drain physically made me feel ill. It was such a great horror film.
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.
This film totally holds up, loved as a kid in the late 80s and can watch it anytime now. Also shout out to the ginger cop w the whopper stache who was AKA the blob man In Robocop when he gets ran over and turned to mush after falling in toxic waste.
Jay's cosplay of "guy outside the gas station who asks me for a cigarette" is spot-on.
GOT A LIGHT?
"catch that game last night? you smoke?"
Don't forget "I'm trying to get home. Can you spare some gas money?"
... And Mike's complementary portrayal of "rambling alcoholic trying for minutes at a time to tell you about things you don't particularly care to know" is absolutely brilliant!

They talk about the Blob’s colour... one thing they didn’t get into was how it was just no colour and then got pink and then darker and darker as it consumed human flesh.

They did some interesting research on this; they reference the script notes, Google street map scene comparisons, seemingly ind-depth set piece analysis. Mike and Jay are better reviewers than what they project themselves to be, but I'm always impressed at the nature of how they look at things; it's genuinely curiosity-informed topics of research, which always produces more unique results than simple recitation of published facts.
For the first few minutes, I'm never quite sure just how sarcastic they're being (or not being). Once they ease into the review, though, the genuine admiration does shine through.
Not bad for a bunch of hack frauds.

My favorite thing about the original is when the nurse throws a random liquid at the blob and doesn't hurt it so she screams something like "NOTHING CAN STOP IT!!!!!"
That random liquid is an extremely corrosive acid. Anything else would've melted away, but the Blob just absorbs it.
I'm aware of the fact that it was acid that she threw on it, I'm questioning the strength of an acid that would be readily available or even the most corrosive of acids in general. I'm also making light of the cheesiness of her scientific findings that nothing can stop it after such diligent and all-encompassing research into just what could possibly stop it.

"That guy" from Tim and Eric (Robert Axelrod) was also in two Best of the Worst movies, Alien Private Eye, and as the main antagonist in Repo Jake. In Repo Jake he had what Mike called the best line of all time, when he's instructing a porn director on what to film.

Something this video made me realize: the blob doesn't start off pink; it becomes pink after eating people.
Like flamingos eating shrimp!
Think the most disgusting thing about it is that it seems like it’s supposed to be comprised of writhing raw meat, fat and muscle. “Hot pink ain’t natural” says Jay and Mike. Fellas...
You can thank the original for that. It starts off clear in that one.

@@KOS_Nova Carrots do the same thing and I eat those most nights, yet I've never turned orange, so I'm gonna say you'd need to eat an absurd amount.

When talking about a piece of paper and a pen you managed to perfectly pronunce three words in swedish.
The main memorable thing about this movie was the kids actually getting killed. I watched horror a lot growing up and I was just use to the kids never dying and was floored when it happened here.
That and Halloween 3 came to mind
If you haven't seen it, watch "Alligator." My first time seeing that happen growing up.
Jaws
But that is realistic. The Hollywood trope of 'kids don't die' needs to be consigned to history. It's just a dumb relic of the 50s 'duck and cover' films that convinced people that hiding under a school desk will prevent kids being vaporized by atomic bombs.
The boy, Brodie, with the kite who was killed in Silver Bullet made that movie so much darker for me.

I prefer the original; I wish they’d discussed it more. But I’m glad they talked it about it for at least a little bit.
When I was a little kid this movie horrified me to no end and gave me mad raving nightmares. It's been one of my favorites ever since. I'd say the body horror is easily on par with The Thing if not more so. Sure the thing dog was ridiculously terrifying, but come on, here we have a half-digested kid screaming in agony. The scenes presented in this video still gave me some of those good old chills.
Same here! The "sink scene" was probably the scariest for me. It's a horrifying concept! It consumes and grows, and it kills anyone that is unfortunate to get too close to it in the most gruesome ways! That movie was horrifying! I was about 9 when I saw it, and it took me months to recover! It was so scary! It's a great horror movie! In my opinion, it's not recommended for kids, even if you're with adults!

Now imagine seeing it on tv as an adolescent. It was aired pretty frequently, back in the early/mid 90s. Even edited for tv, I remember it making me sick! Hoyever, I'd watch any time it was on!
Hoyiever it is not the most distressing
I watched this staying over in my cousin's room in a sleeping bag on the floor, and I was probably about twelve (around 1992). It kept me awake, not really because it was scary (it did scare me though), but because my little mind kept going back over all the details of the story. 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.
Great movie, and I really enjoy these re:Views, thanks guys : )

I like how bad effects or compositing don't matter when the film is great: Robocop and Terminator 1 had cheap stop motion, yet they're absolutely thrilling. Even Aliens has bad rear projection (and it already looked bad at the time), but who cares when the scene is great?
But those effects were the only "bad" ones and not considered terrible for their time at all, not to mention both examples are robots, for which stop-motion actually looks appropriate and not jarring at all.
The rear projection looked better in Terminator 2
exactly, a lot of these newer films don't have good writing and they try to make it up with big budget fancy effects; it never works
@@tadpolegaming4510 Definitely. The shuttle crash in Aliens looks ok too, but the platform scene at the end has terrible contrast issues.

@@adamcraig919 most of those were remakes of 50 monster movies and I think its infinitely easier to make them better because, as Jay and Mike state, those movies are insufferably boring.

It took months for me to get over it! I only saw it once too, and I'm curious to watch it again, decades later! _That_ movie was a horror film! Nothing else I saw as a kid came remotely close! I'd look up at the ceiling a lot, and for awhile, it made me afraid of the dark again! That movie worked!

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.
This film totally holds up, loved as a kid in the late 80s and can watch it anytime now. Also shout out to the ginger cop w the whopper stache who was AKA the blob man In Robocop when he gets ran over and turned to mush after falling in toxic waste.
