We're logging on to the Fright School Social Distancing Network for this week's online class! We welcome the delightful Delia to the show! Delia is a fantastic playwright and Joe's co-host for MFK Ultimate! We get caught up on everyone's self-isolation entertainment. After the break we discuss both the 1958 and 1988 versions of THE BLOB! We talk communism, conspiracy, the Cold War, craving and The Blob in the age of Corona.
