takes the words right outta your mouth with
Blobermouth
(1991, USA)
Directed and Co-written by
Kent Skov
(Reefer Madness II: The True Story)
That oozing pink terror,
The Blob,
lives again in this irreverent and hilarious send up of the 1958 classic. But this time, Steve McQueen has to face off against a wise-cracking pile of goo when, for the first time, The Blob speaks!
The L.A. Connection
are a comedy troupe who did live performances at the Nuart Theatre in the early '90s. They would show some campy '50s movie with the sound turned off and recite their own, scripted dialog over it, ala
What's Up, Tiger Lily,
which is where this vid originated.
