Episode 318: The Showcasers vs. the Creature From the Black Lagoon

It’s almost Halloween, and that means it’s time for another Showcase Creature Feature! This year, the gang gets together to tackle another legendary Universal Monster in Creature From the Black Lagoon, The Revenge of The Creature, and The Creature Walks Among Us! Does the Gillman hold up against the likes of Dracula, Frankenstein’s Monster, and the Wolfman, or is he all wet?

And what’s cool this week? Kenny has discovered the wonder of Loot Crate, while Blake was impressed by the first issues of Dark Circle’s The Shield and IDW’s Back to the Future.

On a more serious note, on Oct. 16, Erin’s brother’s home caught on fire. His family (including his wife, three children, and a fourth on the way) lost virtually everything they had, including their dog, Phoebe. Erin has started a GoFundMe campaign to try to help them get back on their feet. We’ve never asked for money on this show, but we’re making an exception this time. If you can, please go to GoFundMe.com/BlashFamily and make a donation — any size would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
