I love that the agent is wearing LaCoste

#monsterdon #CHUD

I hope that dude in the Izod shirt gets some kind of disease for swallowing a quarter.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon We can't use this car in the movie! It's got a logo on it that's not cleared!

No problem, slap a phone-number magnet over it.

#Monsterdon 📸 🧟 🧟‍♂️ 🧟‍♀️ 🗽 💩 😱

Um, I think that *is* important, weird dour g-man.

@riedlr True story I made the Corvallis paper by carrying a 4x8 sheet of plywood into my dorm room for ... reasons ca 1980 #Monsterdon

You, sir, are a LLLIIIAR! Great delivery #monsterdon

WE HAVE MOVIE TITLE!!!!

#Monsterdon

title drop!

#monsterdon

@Taweret@timeloop.cafe Imagine watching the Oscars when you could be saying "I wonder what the monster is up to."

#Monsterdon #CHUD

Take THAT brief case! #Monsterdon #CHUD

"EAT IT!" I like this dude.

#Monsterdon

Wait... A court order is preventing movie the radioactive waste OUT!? That's the bureaucratic issue causing this horror?
Why is it already there? WHY!?
#Monsterdon #CHUD

"Lunatic ravings of this paranoid hippie" wow, is this an 80's movie or what.

#Monsterdon

Ah, the 80s. Back when getting your name in the papers meant something... #monsterdon

Eat it! #Monsterdon

that was the biggest barber shop awning I've ever seen!

#monsterdon #CHUD

@CactuarJoe eh, it's livable. This was what, 2 years before Chernobyl?

#Monsterdon

Ah, that's back when going to the newspapers meant something.

#Monsterdon

C.H.U.D. is The X-Files avant la lettre.

#Monsterdon
@tag-monsterdon

AH RELEVANT! #monsterdon

Was that a whoopie cushion on the taxi?!??! #monsterdon

"Slightly elevated radiation levels..."

3.6 Roentgen, not great, not terrible. #Monsterdon

And by slightly elevated we really mean making people glow in the dark. #monsterdon

One monster attack in 43 minutes. I'm practically gnawing a homeless guy's leg off trying to get out of this movie.

#Monsterdon #CHUD

Or it's bad abcess. Dirty needles.

#monsterdon

Me at work next year: "Maybe you have some glib explanation for that! Do you want to talk about this or am I going to discuss this with the newspapers?"

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon In films New Yorkers always want to move out of the city.

That doesn't track with New Yorkers I've actually met.

@kshernandez was the guy on the right in buckaroo banzai?

#monsterdon #CHUD

The audience doesn't even know who the guy is. #monsterdon

Aside from a boot, a Geiger counter, over a dozen disappearances, a traumatized child, do you have any evidence?

#Monsterdon #chud

It's White Flight O'Clock!

#monsterdon #chud

@gortbrown because e coli killed them? #JustGuessing #Monsterdon

"Talk to the newspapers" isn't much of a threat anymore #Monsterdon

Meanwhile in the *uninteresting* movie...

#monsterdon

Poor guy... no one believes him! #monsterdon

Ah, the 80s. When going to the 'newspapers' actually could create change... #monsterdon

"you're under arrest, Shepherd"
that was very ankh-morpork city watch coded. "he was under arrest, sir. so i had to follow him into the office." #monsterdon

AH, newspapers. Remember when that was a thing?

Watching this in 2025 😬 😬

#Monsterdon

"You wouldn't know the truth if it came up and bit you!" Hah! Cannibal humor. #Monsterdon #CHUD

I like how even the soup kitchen guy is like "oy this isn't going to end well" #monsterdon

Manhole C.H.U.D. getting his reps in #monsterdon

Is this why I was invited to this meeting?
*pulls out random boot*
#monsterdon

It's O'Brian! In the sewers! With the Geiger counter!

I solved it!

#Monsterdon
#CHUD

He's was studderin' fer a C.H.U.D.erin'.

#monsterdon

An inquest before the monster hunt! #Monsterdon

#monsterdon #chud
Oh, well, camera or flame thrower...

It's still like taking a whip to a gun fight.

geiger counter by fisher-price

#monsterdon #CHUD

"We're as concerned as you are!"

>_>

These guys couldn't contain a rash of cookie thefts. #Monsterdon

Wait for the beep
You gotta leave your name
You gotta leave your number
#Monsterdon

This meeting room is amazing and ridiculous. Leftover Gilded Age stuff.

#monsterdon #chud

"You're... under arrest, Shepard" Bosch said, sensually

#Monsterdon

This movie just goes to show how important it is not to randomly fire people in charge of nuclear energy.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 📸 🧟 🧟‍♂️ 🧟‍♀️ 🗽 💩 😱

Director's instruction to NRC guy "ok, put your face way down so your neck pouches out, then look dour.

No, dourer.

Ok, almost - but not quite - dour enough

commissioner should've said: Oh that's all BOSCH, Bosch! #monsterdon

An entire phone call from an actual doctor just to verify a pregnancy. Those were the days!

#Monsterdon

"We gotta get in there somwhow! No no not illegally, I'm technichally a cop!"

#Monsterdon

Cops Using Hazardous Doorhandles #Monsterdon

What on earth do the screen writers think the NRC does anyway?

#Monsterdon

mock a traumatized little girl? yeah? #monsterdon

"hey that's breaking and entering..... you're under arrest?" #monsterdon

A boardroom full of white men....

#monsterdon

mr. wilson had a bad day, his neighbour's kid dennis has just been a complete menace all week

#monsterdon #CHUD

The other side effect of pregnancy is zits on your butt #monsterdon

You know, chat, I'm not 100% sure this guy is actually ordained

#Monsterdon

Doctors discussing abortion. Phone booths. Such dated content. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Well done! It's her choice!

#monsterdon #chud
You kidding? Your man has the camera
My men have the flame throwers....

Is this the Jaws mayor? Uh oh.

#Monsterdon #CHUD1984

Police vs NRC coverup.

#monsterdon

Why is there one cop dressed like his mom made him put on and tuck in a shirt with a collar for church. #monsterdon

That electric keyboard music means we're serious

Bosch is about to kick some ass

#Monsterdon
#CHUD

Bosche just got serious about this shit.

#Monsterdon

Soi little girl goes insta-catatonic

#monsterdon

HAHAHA, look at the kid!! HAHAHAH
#monsterdon

This kid may never recover. 😞

#Monsterdon #CHUD1984

That was a CHUD? really? Humanoid is NOT a descriptor I would have picked.

#Monsterdon

Dog dies, traumatized little girl, hitting all the horror cliches #Monsterdon don

yup, he's lost. bye. #monsterdon

Oh look a phone booth. Doctor Who or Bill & Ted are nearby.
#Monsterdon #CHUD

#Monsterdon 📸 🧟 🧟‍♂️ 🧟‍♀️ 🗽 💩 😱

This man on the pay phone literally said everything twice.

That's probably why the CHUD hated him/thought he might be delicious

"Welcome to New York, kid!"

#Monsterdon

Little known trivia: You can use a payphone headset to hypnotize if you lack a pocket watch. #monsterdon

Oh c'mon, do not hurt the kid!
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon always a bit of fun. Dull adults and fully witnessing children.

Maybe the C.H.U.D.s have learned to associate the noise of a pegging Geiger Counter with dinner arriving (in rad. suits).

#monsterdon

That poor girl is going to be traumatized for life.

#Monsterdon

That was a shockingly good discussion on if they wanted a child or not.

#monsterdon

hey why do we have such a low turn out tonight? people got a problem with sewer monsters?

#monsterdon

Is that man going to feed that child to the CHUDs?

#monsterdon

oh man i miss camera shots that follow wires.... wasn't that a thing in the opening of Rockford Files?

#Monsterdon

I've got to say, soup kitchen guy looks like soup kitchen guys I've met.

#Monsterdon #CHUD1984

#Monsterdon white people here look like boiled chicken on a plate.

Great, now she's probably double pregnant.

#Monsterdon

Hope these guys watch out for frogs #monsterdon

I'd say "it was the 80s, you couldn't say 'abortion' on TV or in movies" but I don't actually know if you can say "abortion" on TV or in movies nowadays either

#Monsterdon

It's so fucking wild to watch characters just get to talk about their own reproductive autonomy like it actually exists #monsterdon #chud1984

Chekhov nipple! #monsterdon

His-and-hers swords? That's kinda cool actually.

#Monsterdon #CHUD

Is pregnancy on the bingo card?

#Monsterdon #CHUD1984

"Fishy! Fishy!"

#Monsterdon #CHUD1984
