We’re kickin’ it old-skool this week with a trip back to the 50’s. Rock ‘n’ Roll was a burgeoning force, youth culture was just entering into existence and you could still get away with dragging a black man 20 miles down the road without some pinko calling you a racist. Glory days indeed. More importantly, the 50’s saw sci-fi take over from westerns as the prime b-movie genre of choice. Starring Steve McQueen as the least convincing 17 year old in cinema history, The Blob pretty much defines the ‘classic’ b-movie as we know it.
