Sci-Fi Classic Review: THE BLOB (1958)

The 1958 original version of The Blob was a cultural phenomenon that managed to combine the sci-fi craze of the 1950's with the "teen exploitation" genre that was on the rise. If you're looking for a "review" in the traditional sense, then let me just say I love this movie. This video, however, is a "review" in the literal sense (using the Miriam-Webster definition "a retrospective view or survey"), in that I'm going over the history of the film and its place in sci-fi cinema history. In other words, please stop commenting on how my videos aren't what you consider "reviews." #TheBlob #SteveMcQueen #Blob 00:00 Introduction 01:08 Synopsis 02:02 Production Background 04:45 Casting 07:11 Filming 10:11 Release & Legacy 12:09 Opinion & Analysis 15:05 Outro http://www.emagill.com/   / emagill     / writeremagill     / e_magill   PARADOX http://www.amazon.com/dp/150321978X THE STREAMING HEAP Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast...
