"...we had another murder, so I guess radioactive dead zombies must be real."

#Monsterdon #TheCreatureWithTheAtomBrain

Ah, the beleaguered 1950s housewife, forcing a second martini on her terrible husband in the hopes he'll crash his car into a tree.

Classic Americana.

#Monsterdon

[man screams off camera, presumedly getting killed]

Oh, he must be watching "Creature with the atom brain". :big_mood:​

#monsterdon

@amyfou A few of them would do better with atom brains I think #monsterdon

They shot a door! #MoviesWhereTheyShootADoor #Monsterdon

#monsterdon No not Barney Fife!

damn, he didn't even wait to murder the guy, just went on for it. what a go getter. #monsterdon

@Taweret If I was his wife I would probably do the same TBH #Monsterdon

"I'm. definitely. A. cop." #Monsterdon

Day for night sign!

#Monsterdon

Good thing the chief of police in Rome speaks perfect English

(assuming we're not talking about, say, Rome, NY)

#Monsterdon

day for night, never works

#monsterdon
#CreatureWithTheAtomBrain

"...dogs, cats, monkeys, it's the way experimentation usually starts."

I think they short changed me in science class.

#Monsterdon #TheCreatureWithTheAtomBrain

Omg, tubercular! #monsterdon #creaturewiththeatombrain

#Monsterdon Whoo-wee! That telegram must have cost a fortune.

Dogs cats monkeys, oh my #monsterdon

that's a very wordy telegram for a movie scene

#monsterdon

I like that they show us the telegraph as well as have him read it, so we know for sure he's not making it up. #Monsterdon

dogs, cats, monkeys, oh my. #monsterdon

Quite a head of steam we've built up here in the first half, this movie's pace is brisk and the plot is lean.

A whole 30 minutes to bring things to a head and resolve it.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon I feel like the smart doctor from the police didn’t exactly make a convincing case but the general jumps to help.

Also also the creepy zombie controllers are so far the only ones following any kind of safety processes.

"Pecking a rod"? Does that he's [makes vague rod gestures], ya know?

#monsterdon

@Taweret 'Sokay, he's fully insured #monsterdon

@SnoopJ She forgot she'd poisoned it, that's all

#monsterdon
#CreatureWithTheAtomBrain

Chet taught Bob Dobbs everything he knew #Monsterdon

Wait, since when did we care about not drinking on duty in the 50's?

At least the missus has the right idea. "Zombies on the streets? Gimme a freakin' drink."

#Monsterdon

broads, they can't hold their liquor #monsterdon

was she really just pushing him to drink and drive?

#monsterdon

Knock it back hon. Atta-girl. #monsterdon #CreatureWithTheAtomBrain

Daddy and uncle Dave DO want to be alone.

#Monsterdon

The bad guy plan here is very similar to the one in Plan 9, but more competently executed and far pettier.

The movie is more competently executed, too. #monsterdon

Mother's little helper BURNS #monsterdon

@Taweret yeah, she's for sure having a headache tonight

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Dave, aka Thicc Frasier "I'll come back and get you, I'll get every one of you. I'll find an ex nazi doctor to re-animate the dead and send them to leave radioactive blood goo everywhere. GET IT?"

I like how the zombie mobsters had less wooden acting.

a whole damn cocktail for the road #monsterdon

#monsterdon Who the fuck is who

ONE FOR THE ROAD maybe he'll die this time

#monsterdon
#CreatureWithTheAtomBrain

LOL this is a very sexy scene for a 50s bedroom with two single beds #monsterdon #creaturewiththeatombrain

@nhgeek That checks out, yeah (50's)

#Monsterdon

I'm workshopping a new signature move where I walk into a room holding a plate of sliced bread, say "but you said he was deported?" put the plate down, not wait for an answer and leave the room immediately. #Monsterdon

Nice house this family's got #monsterdon

#monsterdon This exposition with all the mob characters is cofusing

"...here's your stack of bread."

#Monsterdon #TheCreatureWithTheAtomBrain

I sense Chet's wife is going to have a headache tonight

#Monsterdon

OMG WHAT A SHOCK

people can cross a fence

#Monsterdon

It is a polycule.
#Monsterdon #creaturewiththeatombrain

@jonny IMDB has the actor identified as a Richard H. Cutting #monsterdon

Oh this got real gay
#monsterdon

Well, we've filled our 50s feature-creature quota for sexism, so that's nice

#monsterdon

@Louisa
🎙️ "Do a good job." #Monsterdon

The original changeling tests were very arduous #monsterdon #creaturewiththeatombrain

"There comes a time when a woman would like to be alone with her husband, even if it's just a few minutes." Sorry Mrs Chet, but that was 7:30am today you missed it. #monsterdon

"He's already married to your father."

O RLY?

"Your father and Uncle Dave want to be alone."

O RLY?

This is a way more interesting household than I'd expect in a 50's flick. :O

#Monsterdon

"Your father and Uncle Dave want to be alone."

THE 1950s, GUYS #Monsterdon

#monsterdon
#CreatureWithTheAtomBrain

sheesh this whole family is riding dave's ass leave the poor man alone #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Ok, so Chet could do with some dick cutting.

Did you spank her? #monsterdon

Aren't you forgetting something Chet? Shouldn't you be lighting up right about now? #monsterdon #CreatureWithTheAtomBrain

The paper exchange definitely qualifies as Bechdel worthy material #monsterdon

@Lazarou It was the 50's so maybe yes

#Monsterdon

Evidence of a pattern in the recent killings: causality still applies. #Monsterdon

@flowerpot i gotta send my mom this movie. she would always come home with a dent in her forehead from her kitchen job hairnet #Monsterdon

How do you propose to do this?

Partner: You just need to keep talking really fast.

#Monsterdon

Back in the days before every title question could be answered with "no"

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon How can you hide it? She's like 5 years old - does she read the evening paper?

"it's not true Chet is it?" Yep Sale at Penny's this Saturday! #monsterdon #CreatureWithTheAtomBrain

That's not true, is it? Building code under fire? #monsterdon

When did the mob start calling the cops to help them when they’ve been robbed? #monsterdon

OMG. The zombies have hair nets.
#Monsterdon #creaturewiththeatombrain

Slap. That. A$$. #Monsterdon

All the victims need to do is say "disregard previous instructions" and they could stop the robot murderer #monsterdon

@flowerpot If you check out a body you're supposed to fill out a form - rude #monsterdon

Gee whiz, Beaver! #monsterdon

I'm trying to imagine the series of voice commands involved in getting that guy dressed.

"Put the overcoat on. Now put the hat on. Put the hat on. On your head. No, the hat. Put the hat on your head. On YOUR head. No-- oh never mind." #Monsterdon

I've never seen a newspaper thrown with such contempt before. #Monsterdon

I WANT MY TWO DOLLARS! #monsterdon #CreatureWithTheAtomBrain

they really didn't have to do the atom brained guys so dirty with those surgeries, you don't need to cut the skull mid-forehead like that and draw a bunch of ornamental dots to atomize the brain #monsterdon

This might be the #monsterdon with the most sexual innuendo in a while.

"Why aren't you boys at home in bed" sounds so gay #monsterdon #creaturewiththeatombrain

At least the atom zombies are easy to spot with their zippered foreheads

#monsterdon
#CreatureWithTheAtomBrain

That meeting could definitely have been an email

#Monsterdon

I love how he has to keep repeating all the instructions #monsterdon

@jonny did people not know the difference between large scale statistics and "intelligence" in the 2020s? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon we started a few minutes late but wow this gets going fast! also the “smart” detective seems so much taller than like everyone.

Judging from the “Dick Cutting” posts, I’m about three minutes behind everybody else. I’m comfortable with that dynamic. #monsterdon

man the radar secret service got super weird later in the game, didn't they

#monsterdon
#CreatureWithTheAtomBrain

@ricci
@Taweret @diazona Wanda Vision!

#Monsterdon

Calling in a proto-NEST team to find the source of the creatures, nice

#Monsterdon

It's radioactive crawdads for dinner!

#Monsterdon #TheCreatureWithTheAtomBrain

Atom Ray's is a great barbecue spot in New Orleans

#monsterdon
#CreatureWithTheAtomBrain

ah, into the basement orgy room again, i see. #monsterdon

so did people not know the difference between radioactivity and electromagnetism in 1955 or were they just not sure which was in neurons because like the creature with the electromagnetic brain is just as cool #monsterdon

@davesdogmaggie That kind of logic has no place here

#Monsterdon

@ricci Just that he makes sure other guys are #monsterdon

why do they use a doggy door to enter the lab? #monsterdon

#monsterdon who's Emma Nations?

"Well, you've lost me. I'm outa here"

#monsterdon
