Dead Ringers

Dead Ringers 8 - THE STUFF + THE BLOB (1988)

Nolan is joined by Ben McBride, Paul Farrell, and Philip Yount to discuss Larry Cohen's THE STUFF (1985) and Chuck Russell's remake of THE BLOB (1988). The group catches up on the latest horror movies (and some horror video games) before they run screaming from a double feature of sentient, killer goo monsters. Other movies/games discussed: THE TRANSFIGURATION (2017), THE GIRL WITH ALL THE GIFTS (2017), DAVE MADE A MAZE (2017), MOTHER! (2017), RAW (2017), SUPER DARK TIMES (2017), GET OUT (2017), IT COMES AT NIGHT (2017), DARKEST DUNGEON (2016), LITTLE NIGHTMARES (2017), DOKI DOKI LITERATURE CLUB (2017), P2 (2007), WISH UPON (2017), THE BLOB (1958). As will always be the case with this show, be aware that our discussion contains spoilers. If you want to watch the movies before listening to the show, there are a couple of ways you can do so. THE STUFF is available to stream on Shudder and Screambox, THE BLOB (1988) is available to purchase on a (technically) region-free Blu-ray from Amazon (via Umbrella Entertainment), and both movies are available to rent via VOD.

Dead Ringers is a twice monthly horror podcast covering double features with shared DNA (e.g. premise, structure, concept), but distinct personalities. Each episode, host and producer Nolan McBride is joined by a rotating panel of co-hosts to analyze each film individually before comparing and contrasting the differences in their approaches and highlighting what each movie brings to the horror genre.
