Charley, Joey and Tony return for their annual tradition: counting down their favorite films of the previous year.
Charley and Jo walk through season one of Netflix's SQUID GAME (오징어 게임). Emphasis on the games.
Jo discusses her age-inappropriate love for Michael Myers and distracted-boyfriend-memes herself, crowbarring John Carpenter's HALLOWEEN as a gateway to Jason Voorhees.
In an interesting experiment in self-sabotage, Tony and Charley record a chess game for the audio medium.
Our resident NES aficionado Joey takes her co-hosting duties very seriously in our overview of Capcom's Mega Man (1987), Mega Man 2 (1988), Mega Man 3 (1990), and Mega Man 4 (1991).
Charley and Tony each count down their ten favorite films of 2023.
Please enjoy a brief automated reading of the history of The Blob Show which serves as the hype trailer for our return.
The whole gang is back to compare and contrast two evil teams of animatronic robots posing as entertainment at children's dining establishments. We're talking Blumhouse's FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S (2023, d. Emma Tammi) and the Nicolas Cage vehicle that tried to steal its thunder, WILLY'S WONDERLAND (2021, d. Kevin Lewis).
Charley and Tony shake off the rust in their return to exhaustively spoil the ineffable Motern Media double-featch HEARD SHE GOT MARRIED (2021) and HEARD SHE GOT MURDERED (2023). Still keeping it niche in 2024, Charley even invites Matt Farley to perform in Arizona.

Charley and Jo commandeer the program to measure their parents against the silliness quotient.
Tony, Charley, and Jo marathon the entire series of ARCHIE'S WEIRD MYSTERIES including the Blob-themed episode "Beware of the Glob."
Welcome back to PoochiTubi, the Blob Show sub-podcast where Charley navigates dog-themed family films available on the Tubi streaming service. Today's episode covers six more entries: BECAUSE OF WINN-DIXIE (d. Wayne Wang, 2005), ARMY DOG aka LEAP (d. Ezra Kemp, 2016), THE RETRIEVERS (d. Paul Schneider, 2001), PANCHO, EL PERRO MILLONARIO aka MILLIONAIRE DOG (d. Tom Fernández, 2014), DOGGY DAYCARE: THE MOVIE (d. Matty Johnson, 2015), and ROBO-DOG (d. Jason Murphy, 2015). Most of these films are unwatchable but I'm committed to the bit.
In celebration of Judy Garland's centennial birthday, The Blob Show unearths a very special, unlistenable episode from the archive: a feature-length The Wizard of Oz commentary recorded in 2020. Please sync up your listening device with the 1939 MGM classic for intended, punitive results.
Charley and Tony dissect the 1990 sequel to A Boy and His Blob: Trouble on Blobolonia after Uncle Marky leant us a Super Game Boy. ASMR fans rejoice; the jellybeans are back.
