I like how it’s already been implied that the real bad guy is private funding of scientific research (with a possible poke at Operation Paperclip). #monsterdon

"And soon, these atom-charged men will take all of our jobs" #Monsterdon

I can't get over these people living in a house with so few Cuckoo clocks #monsterdon

At least we can assume this news anchor is circumcised #Monsterdon

@neia This is the 50s, so it might actually be circumcision

#monsterdon

Those lapels double as wings #monsterdon

Dick Cutting on the news? Didn't know you could get an orchie over radio

#Monsterdon #CreatureWithTheAtomBrain

His name is

what

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Dick Cutting? DICK CUTTING?!

DICK CUTTING!? #monsterdon #CreatureWithTheAtomBrain

You can tell the police are overfunded if they're putting Geiger counters in every car #monsterdon

Geiger Counter?!?
I want to check the car for emanations
Emanations?!?

And that, folks, is how you do plot exposition

#monsterdon

this is the cutest ambulance i've ever seen!

#monsterdon

im pretty sure these are all the same guy tho

#monsterdon

Hey that guy's not wearing a fedora. He must be from another movie #monsterdon

the 1950s, the decade of smoking, talking fast and wearing hats

#monsterdon

Alexa: Commit murder

#Monsterdon

"it could have been some gambler he rousted around, who had radioactive blood and was impervious to bullets" #monsterdon

A 1950s Husband that actually.....likes being a dad?!??!

What is this nonsense. He better slap someone, say a racial slur or drink a bottle of scotch in the next 10 minutes or im demanding a refund.

#monsterdon

good thing he won't be going anywhere, he couldn't steer properly without that wheel. #monsterdon

Why did bench seats go out of fashion, anyhow?

It's cool to board the vehicle from the same side.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon He's a cop, lady. He lives on coffee and cigarettes. He'll be fine.

Not sure whether Penny and her mom Joyce actually exchanged lines there, I'm hopeful they'll have another chance to Bechdelize this film #monsterdon

someone get me a bigass DECEASED stamp or stencil please i need it for work

#monsterdon

"Do they have a file on this guy?" As he holds the file. 🤔

#Monsterdon #CreatureWithTheAtomBrain

#monsterdon He looks like a grocery store butcher

@Taweret The entirety of the 50s happened in that kitchen #Monsterdon

#monsterdon #CreatureWithTheAtomBrain Some noir cops arrive at the art deco mansion to investigate this zombie murder; because they're all noir cops they all have the obligatory hats. They take a blood sample from the crime scene to a lab, where a Good Guy Scientist does some test tube science on it.

Anyway, he centrifuges the blood sample and concludes that it is radioactive; just like we expected!

Is that a bed or a cot? #monsterdon

Geez Chet. She wanted you to get up, but not like THAT. #monsterdon

They've got separate sitcom beds. #Monsterdon

@steggy That's hemo-glow-bin

Common mistake 😛

#Monsterdon

every 50s movie takes place in this same house

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🕵️ ⚛️ 🧠

I feel like these detectives are talking extra fast between pauses and I'm not sure why but it feels official

When you discover dangerously radioactive fingerprints, that's always a good time to take a break for the night

#Monsterdon

are they not worried they were handling such radioactive material, or are they just going to go home now? #Monsterdon

When my hemoglobin is low, I feel like a zombie, but I don't glow in the dark nor am I radioactive

#Monsterdon

Everyone hold on to your hats. #Monsterdon

"...why is is luminous Jeff?"
"Because it's highly radioactive. Huh ... guess no more kids for us gentlemen."

#Monsterdon #TheCreatureWithTheAtomBrain

[ENHANCE]

#monsterdon

#monsterdon
Don't hurt your finger

GRIPPING LABORATORY ACTION.

#monsterdon

Adrenalin, sodium hydroxide, and salt for seasoning. #Monsterdon

the #science scenes in this movie are second to none

#monsterdon

I'm used to them smoking in a hospital, but smoking at a crime scene is a new one for me

#Monsterdon

Chlorine, sodium hydroxide, blood sugars... He's inventing Coke Spiced. #Monsterdon

FRAUNHOFER LINES MENTIONED

I am so far charmed by this movie

#Monsterdon

The creature is powered by Crystal Light!

#Monsterdon #TheCreatureWithTheAtomBrain

"Maybe he had all his vitamins."

"Vitamins...?"

Look I don't know, I didn't write this. #Monsterdon

I suspect grabbing a knife, cutting a hole in the rug, and throwing the sample in your pocket is not the normal forensic procedure these days. #monsterdon

@kcarp @RamenCatholic Elevating crime to the cloud

#Monsterdon

Detective with a pipe. Is that on the bingo? #Monsterdon

"The fingerprints are luminous!"

#Monsterdon

⚛️ TRIVIA FROM AN ATOM BRAIN 🧠

This movie was one of the first to use "squibs", small explosive disks used to simulate being shot with a bullet. They can be attached to a body or a structure.

Call'em when you see'em like @RufusJCooter

#CreatureWithTheAtomBrain
#Monsterdon

"Is he dead?"

"He never was alive."

He spent all his time rooting for the White Sox -_- #Monsterdon

You know, I don't think this lab isn't OSHA compliant.

#monsterdon

5 minutes in and we have more plot than the last two movies combined #monsterdon

You have to voice-command this automaton like 5 times with different inflections before he does it, they really did predict the future

#Monsterdon

@kcarp I think AI was the 2010s equivalent, but now it's become too much of a joke and/or too commercially exploited by LLMs... we need to find something new

#Monsterdon

So much science in the lab! #monsterdon

Within the first five minutes of #monsterdon we have the monster and the ineffectiveness of conventional weaponry, so not sure what is left to cover

Hopefully that's not a Tesla, or else this will be a short movie. #Monsterdon

...Wait so he has to control the zombie with voice commands? Wasn't there a game like this on the PS2 that had *atrocious* issues with voice recognition? #Monsterdon

What is this strange wiring....What is happening?!
#Monsterdon #creaturewiththeatombrain

Snapped in half!!
What is this rated? 😬

#Monsterdon
#CreatureWithTheAtomBrain

Oo, nice silhouette! Snappy, better than The Terror Beyond Space even :D #Monsterdon

Love that the creature helps himself to a tip right from the safe.

#Monsterdon #TheCreatureWithTheAtomBrain

I don't think this robot is a licensed chiropractor #monsterdon

An excellent death. #Monsterdon

lol, a text would have been less dramatic #monsterdon

Creatures with atomic brains are notoriously attracted to gambling houses. #Monsterdon

one thing is for sure oscilloscopes are critical infrastructure for evil #monsterdon

What a tiny little safe. He's keeping individual atoms in there. #Monsterdon

pretty sure this is the same set as mr. acme's office in roger rabbit

#monsterdon
#CreatureWithTheAtomBrain

lol - the re-recording on this pic is pretty rough.

#monsterdon

Guy's got a face like something you pull up from the abyss. He's supposed to exist at 70,000 PSI you monsters! #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Columbia Pictures? Are we in the right theater?

The orchestra lets you know it's serious #monsterdon

Hour and nine minute runtime on this, so we're back in the category of movies shorter than a Catholic high holy day mass #Monsterdon

#MonsterdonAlert

#monsterdon

GO GO GO!!!

@jonny Distant second though. I mean, Octoman and the RV was a CLASSIC

#Monsterdon

Dammit did I miss #monsterdon live posting? I need to log on here more often. When next?

Tonight's #monsterdon moment was definitely "Dick Cutting."

I'm sorry his name is WHAT?

@sleet01 @plaidtron3000

Also @RobynGoodfellow says that was John-Boy!

#monsterdon
#CreatureWithTheAtomBrain

I wasn't expecting to find this. RIP #monsterdon #IMDB

Damn, lost the #monsterdon, my poor boy got sick and pucked bathroom all around.
I wish monsterdon commentaries could have timestamp, that would be the best!

@sleet01 @plaidtron3000 oooooh I think that's it! Well done!

#monsterdon
#CreatureWithTheAtomBrain

Archive.org immediately started playing It Came From Beneath the Sea after Atom Brain. I found that funny because I just watched It Came... about a month ago on Cinema Insomnia.

I guess there's only a finite number of 50s and 60s B movies to fill the void that is my soul, so weird coincidences are neither weird nor coincident. #monsterdon

That said, I'm hoping we have a #monsterdon film with a bunch of miniatures horribly mistreated next time around. But that's just me

Hollywood, please make a remake of this movie in place of whatever the next MCU installment was going to be. Thanks #monsterdon

Ironically, Dick Cutting didn’t make this cut. Neither did the wife and kid (only two named women, as far as i can recall). Definitely some alternate shots used, too. #monsterdon

@SnoopJ @Zerofactorial @ricci @jonny @SarraceniaWilds @dan gotta admit that was pretty dang good

#monsterdon
#CreatureWithTheAtomBrain

And Dave went to live on a farm #monsterdon #creaturewiththeatombrain

@SnoopJ @ricci @jonny @SarraceniaWilds @dan I didn't mean to yuck your yum. I did enjoy that one too #monsterdon

Oh come on she obviously needs a Red Ryder now!! #monsterdon #creaturewiththeatombrain

@SnoopJ @ricci @jonny @SarraceniaWilds @dan Thank you for this. Best scene from the movie #monsterdon

Stop aiming for center mass! Shoot them in the heads! #monsterdon

@SnoopJ @ricci @jonny @SarraceniaWilds @dan aw yeah

that's the stuff

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
