I'll empathize for those who are too lazy to do the research.
Tido Wave, a terrorist organization (yes, eco-terrorists are still terrorists) fuck up a satellite owned by a company named Tagruato. This satellite falls from orbit and lands in the ocean - this can be seen in the last scene of "Cloverfield" when Rob and Beth are at the carnival.
Tagruato begins to search for the satellite deep down in the ocean and uncovers an unknown substance that they later use as the main ingredient for soft-drinks produced by their new branch dubbed "SLUSH-O."
During said search, they unknowingly disturb the "Cloverfield" monster, an amphibious monstrosity which has yet to reach maturity. The Cloverfield monster moves from it's resting place towards Manhattan, taking out an off-shire drilling facility along the way. (It's theorized the reason the Cloverfield monster headed towards Manhattan was due to all the vibrations and electrical impulses/waves coming from the busy island.)
The Cloverfield monster surfaces and begins to reign his havoc on Manhattan. This is where the movie picks up.
Now for the connections:
The company Rob is traveling to Japan for is Tagruato's SLUSH-O.
It is theorized that the ingredient found by Tagruato in the deep sea search for the satellite causes victims bitten by the Cloverfield monster's parasites to explode when the saliva and/or toxins from said bite mixes with the traces of the ingredient in SLUSH-O brand products. Freeze-framing the scene where Marlena explodes, one can see that she actually expands and explodes in her abdominal region, though she was actually bitten in the shoulder. Note, however, that it is also theorized that the explosive effect may be simply directly related to the bites, as a soldier with an explosive wound in his abdominal region is seen being carted away, and that these bites are very well known to cause explosions to the military nursing staff.
