#monsterdon

#monsterdon #CreatureWithTheAtomBrain anyway, in this movie we learn how quickly cops can get easy access to stupid shit, in that the Jed guy has talked the airforce into using planes with geiger counters to pinpoint where the radioactive zombies are coming from.

"Because I'm gay as French parade and it's the 50s, honey."

#monsterdon
#CreatureWithTheAtomBrain

lol @ the lobotomised man giving us his serious face

#monsterdon

#monsterdon #CreatureWithTheAtomBrain Because the Mob Guy killed in the beginning was carrying a Yak-Bak when he died, the other cops got a sample of the zoom zombie's robot voice. Sadly, their conference is interrupted by news of McGraw's death, for which they scramble to the murder garage to investigate.

Not having invented the tricorder yet, we use a geiger counter to confirm that the murder garage is radioactive. We find out the prints of murderer were from another dead guy.

@allanb so many hats in this movie, but they're all the same hats #monsterdon

'Take him away boys!"

#monsterdon

@brooke not gonna lye #Monsterdon

It takes about three adult wages to raise one child so this polycule makes sense. #Monsterdon

@jonny

We used to be a country, a proper country

#monsterdon

@flowerpot lol, I'm going with it! #monsterdon

once again I note the abundance of white men in these movies

#monsterdon

The horror - that guy totally trashed the shag carpet

#monsterdon

guys there going into a fetish play room through the poly tunnel, I've been to that club
#monsterdon

And we're away! The thumping heart of the Creature with the Atom-Brain!

#monsterdon

there's something here with this chop guy #monsterdon

well, 28 minutes late, but we've reached the end of this week's #monsterdon. We both thank, and curse @Taweret, for birthing and maintaining the monster that is #Monsterdon

May our brains be forever atom.

that's it, i'm starting a spinning newspapers folder #Monsterdon

Just putting off the inevitable, not telling her that Uncle Dave is dead. Doesn't matter if its her birthday. Radical honesty is the best of all possible options. In this essay, I will

#monsterdon

Thanks again friends that was fun lol #monsterdon #creaturewiththeatombrain

this guy is second only to octoman RV whap

#monsterdon #BestOfMonsterdon #MVPsOfMonsterdon #WhapsOfMonsterdon

#monsterdon Thanks @Taweret for hosting another epic monster movie! To review: Really nice hats, Neon Noodle's lead-lined hideaway, babydoll massacre, demonstration of why you put the vermouth in with the vodka, a train derailment from a completely different movie, and lots and lots of uncle Dave. Also an entire town where you can walk around with FrankenSteig's monster stitching and no-one will say a word for fear of being rude.

@starkraving666 The reanimated creature had a natural antipathy to any simulacrum of the human form and had a primal need to deconstruct it #monsterdon #baudrillard

@starkraving666 "Does the doll die?" YES

#monsterdon
#CreatureWithTheAtomBrain

I still haven't seen any explanation for the deconstruction of the doll #monsterdon #creaturewiththeatombrain

Fucking off to a farm upstate is a refreshing change of pace, ngl. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon and the little girl names the girl doll a boys name continuing the ambiguous sexual themes.

Honestly, this movie was pretty great. Since it’s my first #monsterdon, I assume that all the movies must be great all the time, right?

for some reason i can't get enough of the walkup #monsterdon

Y'know, I had someone tell me this was quality a couple of days ago and was all like "Don't you threaten me with a good time" but dang if they weren't right

#monsterdon
#CreatureWithTheAtomBrain

Fight gender normativity, Penny! #monsterdon

And that's the movie. No, I didn't like it, but honestly I feel refreshed. Like a spring rain or a lemon donut. Just a real palette cleanser of a film. #Monsterdon

@wohali@octodon.social good squib work I thought too #monsterdon

Lol holy shit, telling a kid that a family friend she likes who died, whose corpse you just destroyed, got her a doll and then "had to go away for a while" is extremely fucked up

#Monsterdon

OK, this was so bad it was good. Excellent choice for #monsterdon

Good job blowing out the candles, kid, for another year your parents will continue to shield you from the knowledge that life is as fleeting as the flames you extinguished with the last exhalation of this year's allotment of breath.

All flesh is grass, munchkin. #Monsterdon

Technically that was a denouement.
#monsterdon

Another #Monsterdon is in the can!

Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!

Tonight's feature, #TheCreatureWithTheAtomBrain from 1955, was full of radioactive mayhem, including,
- Brain electrodes!
- Luminous blood!
- Dead men walking!
- Radioactive minions of doom!
- So many emanations!
- A doll named Dave!

that was pretty fun. lots of dumb b movie nonsense science, big 50s cars and hats and indoor smoking, a mad scientist lab complete with mad scientist with an accent, lots of murders and even a helicopter chase and a big zombie attack scene at the end

no one fucked off into the sea but you can't have everything

ty for joining, everyone!

#monsterdon

Aw, Uncle Dave died the way he lived -- passed out on Chet's floor. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon #CreatureWithTheAtomBrain the evil scientist either had an attack of conscience or realized he was about to be arrested and started a mutiny, so the evil suit guy killed him (or at least knocked him out). The cops and the army surround the radioactive zombie factory but they don't want to do their preferred solution of exploding it because its made of radium or something and exploding it would be bad.

With the benefit of 70 years of hindsight, I would suggest the shocking fight strategy of taking about two steps backwards

#Monsterdon

Judo chop! Judo throw! Manly fisticuffs! #Monsterdon

Cheers to Chet, trying to dance his way through a zombie apocalypse like Shatner in that Zombie movie, to try and help Dave

That's a true friend!

#monsterdon

Dude lobbed a grenade like 10 feet in front of himself. That's not smart. #monsterdon

All the Zombies seem to have a dress code #monsterdon

#monsterdon #CreatureWithTheAtomBrain so the zombie cop woke up but couldn't transmit messages, so I guess "instinctively" broke out a window and started looking for an energy source and the main character chases him in a helicopter, because why not. The evil duo plan to attract the zombie cop with a radium rod for some reason I don't completely understand.

TIL lead "burns off" #monsterdon

lol @ all those zombies sitting around like the worst party ever

#monsterdon

#monsterdon The command center has mechanical document routing

i do appreciate that things happen in this movie

#monsterdon

#monsterdon #CreatureWithTheAtomBrain the evil duo try to kill the main character by having the zombie cop crash his car. it doesn't work, because plot armor, and we take the zombie cop to the hospital for Additional Science.

We do an X-Ray and find an analog Neuralink implant in the cop's skull. The Actual Doctor explains how the neural system works.

#monsterdon he jumped out the 6th floor window

I really, REALLY don't want to know where the radium tube goes. #monsterdon #CreatureWithTheAtomBrain

#monsterdon wrap tinfoil on his head

#monsterdon He bails out of car going 60, and his hat is slightly bent

The ol' jump into the bushes at full speed we all learned in the academy.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon If we have previously established that the atomic-blooded zombies have grip strength sufficient to crush the spine of a man, why did they even bother tucking a fixed blade knife into his jacket? Why bother carrying a weapon at all?

"Are you alright?"

Sure, I only lept out of a car going 50mph, I'm fine. #Monsterdon

"Dave's not here, man" #monsterdon

#monsterdon ooops couldn't get the deadbolt in time

Nobody notices the giant scar on his head #monsterdon

why did the scientist order the zombie to mangle a doll and then leave?

#monsterdon

lol @ destroyed doll

Was that who the hit was for?

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Dave has a cold

#monsterdon Problems getting roles? Complaints from the director? With Dr Steigs new Surgical Sanitary Atomic Brain implants your dialog reading ability will increase 300% gauranteed!

Oh that poor girl, uncle Dave's not here.

my cake will be ruined if i stir the batter with the door open

#monsterdon

I'm just glad when we get a kid actually delivering the kid's own lines."

#monsterdon
#CreatureWithTheAtomBrain

TBF, that's how I'm like with kids and their weird child games

#monsterdon

@CactuarJoe I *think* they just want to kill some people for the deported guy's revenge.

#monsterdon

Uh oh - Penny has a zombie friend

#monsterdon

"Unca Dave seems pretty drunk today."

#monsterdon
#CreatureWithTheAtomBrain

At least these guys haven't made zombie women for,.....well you know what Men are like..

Wholesome baddies really

#monsterdon

"Think of the tunnel passage as a giant an.."
"JERRY! I TOLD YOU!"

#monsterdon

I'm not sure how slow-moving atomic zombie creatures knock planes out of the sky or blow up factories.

#monsterdon

Shit just got real #monsterdon

Planes! Trains! Automobiles! #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon God, another bit of my misophonia hit. Teeth on plastic pipe handles. Cllllack! Aaaah!

There must be an easier way of hiding your call location that re-animating the Dead with THE ATOM

#monsterdon

#monsterdon #CreatureWithTheAtomBrain I would respect this movie so much more if the main character had a guess that was wrong. Like, we get that he's a smart scientist; that doesn't mean that he needs to be right All the Time?

“I flunked chemistry three times!”

Yes, that’s why you’re qualified to be a cop.

#monsterdon

I'm gonna call it: evil bad guy will turn one of the zombies on the German scientist. #monsterdon

Wife calls and spoils the mood #monsterdon

...Wait is this movie just Re-Animator seen from the cop's perspective? #Monsterdon

The pipe-smoking lobby is strong in this one.

#monsterdon

LEAVE THE DOG ALONE #Monsterdon

Wheres the bingo card? We got nazi mad scientists!

#monsterdon

Why didn't cars with propellor beanies ever catch on? #monsterdon

#monsterdon I'm hearing the zzzzap zzzzap zzzap of a Jacob's ladder in the lab but didn't see one, some kind of audio skeumorphism since everyone knows an evil lair has one of those around somewhere?

That announcer seems very chill for announcing zombies are real #monsterdon

#monsterdon #CreatureWtihTheAtomBrain we get an awkward family sequence where the little girl asks the Other Cop why he isn't married and the Frustrated Wife explains that the Other Cop would be a bigamist who is married to her father (Jed, the Main Character, who is also a science cop I guess).

Anyway, ignoring this ribbing, Other Cop explains that the first murdered guy was a mob guy and then investigate the history of a Mysterious European. Then the Frustrated Wife drinks too much.

always make sure your loved ones down some hard liquor before they drive anywhere

#monsterdon

LOL having Joyce down the whole drink in one go and then nearly cough it back up was an artistic choice

#Monsterdon

@neia

With great power comes great responsibility

Or whatever the boxed rice guy said

#monsterdon

A little 2020s advice for the guy there, if the first thing you do when you come home is reach for the drink....things are not going well

#monsterdon
