It's another installment in our burgeoning Bonus Episode series, "Nearly New World".  This time, we're talking about 1988's THE BLOB. This movie checks a lot of boxes.  It has faceless eurocrats (Ryan's favorite).  It's a creature feature (Erica's favorite).  It highlights the challenges of a low tax basis on a small town's infrastructure (Marc's favorite).  We introduce some new segments including "things we learned" and "things we appreciated". Plus, Ryan tries out a new wrap-up for the episode.  This might be the Bonus-iest Bonus Episode yet!!
