In this bonus \u201cAmeri-kaiju\u201d episode, Travis Alexander of Kaiju Weekly and Henshin Men finally gets to see the goo\u2014and he\u2019s not happy! That\u2019s mostly because he\u2019s an animal lover and the Blob eats a kitten in the almost-forgotten and incredibly weird 1972 sequel, <em>Beware! The Blob <\/em>(aka <em>Son of Blob<\/em>). It\u2019s the most bipolar movie Nate has ever seen for the show, and Travis, a lover of movies both weird and bad, found it borderline incomprehensible. Half of it is disjointed improvisational comedy, and the other half is a scary but inferior rehashing of the original 1958 classic. Strap for a discussion of more 30-year-old \u201cteens,\u201d a \u201chair sculptor,\u201d and a Naked Turk!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additional music:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>\u201cPacific Rim\u201d by Niall Stenson<\/li><li>\u201c<em>Beware!
