unclear if Machine Gun Joe is firing blanks or actually shooting into the crowd. I can believe either

#Monsterdon

We know who Stephen miller is rooting for in this move

#monsterdon

looking forward to seeing the milwaukee nazis get brutally murdered

#Monsterdon

wait, am I the only one here?!? that's.... that's... freaking me out man, I didn't even like this LOTR stuff....

@mdhughes It was the Religious Right movement of the mid-to-late 70s that has led to the New World Order we find ourselves in today. Nancy Reagan was just a symptom.

#monsterdon

Well, that was definitely a movie about a transcontinental rally race, and I have no idea what happened, but the message was definitely that Americans love violence, and it’s heartwarming to know some things haven’t changed in 50 years.

Thanks, as always, to @Taweret for hosting, @cherizilla for #MonsterdonBingo, @JoeWynne for #MonsterdonDrink and #MonsterdonTrivia, @ryan for #MonsterdonStream, and all of you for making it awesome!

#Monsterdon

watching the hobbit dopesmoker edition stream and like oh i never thought of just doing this with a whole album #monsterdon

‘Twas Frankenstein killed the beast

MIRU dot MIYAKU dot MEDIA !!!!

#monsterdon It wasn't bad, just... terrible.

#monsterdon What the hell is this junk voiceover at the end? That was some truly wild bullshit, to cap this hot pile off. Ah well, it's over. I'm gonna celebrate the deletion command on this one.

Going out on Howard Cosell narration? CINEMA
#Monsterdon #DeathRace2000

Mr. and Mrs. President Frankenstein!

#monsterdon

He dies from... this?
#monsterdon #deathrace2000

#monsterdon Wrecked the telephone system? What? Come on maaan, AT&T did that. Give me a BREAK!

oh my god that tiny knife

#Monsterdon

If he’s won the race twice before, why didn’t he blow up Mr. President then! #Monsterdon

[Acid Jazz intensifies]

#monsterdon #deathrace2000

Hey Roger, we've got a great race track for you. You know it's hip because it's in 3/4 time signature!

#monsterdon

@jonny I guess it's like sad romantic music that... isn't really sad or romantic, mostly just loud?

#Monsterdon

The French Air Force!
#monsterdon #deathrace2000

Whipped their Dairy-Airs!

#monsterdon

@jonny new mechanic for horse drink 3000?

#monsterdon

Sorry, we're in a RACE
#monsterdon #deathrace2000

If only she’d known how to do a three point turn properly… #Monsterdon #DeathRace2000

Frankenstein there's a damn pill floatin' in here

Oh great, it's turnin' into a dinosaur-shaped sponge

#Monsterdon

When does Muttley show up

#Monsterdon

@moira That lamp had to have been from a mid-century furniture commercial.

#Monsterdon

@moira To be fair, the furniture is a lot more interesting than the sex scene.
#Monsterdon

This President is one sentence short of saying make stuff great again
#monsterdon #deathrace2000

Corman didn't need to shell out the cash for the synchro system that would allow filming TVs without all that banding. It's an aesthetic choice! 🙃

#monsterdon

Oh, just one more thing. [columbo.gif]

#monsterdon

Thank you, mr. stallone

#monsterdon

you callin' ME a turkey?!

#monsterdon

This plan doesn't make any sense
#monsterdon #deathrace2000

@ramsey this film orgiinated it.

#monsterdon

This really is a classic of it's kind. Most 'b' films didn't take on subjects like this. #monsterdon

Car-rection!

#monsterdon

and stephen miller breaks down in tears

#monsterdon

@hollie but where is the sex

#monsterdon

does the start and end location of the race vary year by year? if not, then you would imagine a heavy population shift to the deep south and pacific northwest, which are really far out of the way.

and then at some point in the race's history cars that could go fast enough to make the corner run become a suddenly productive strategy mowing down the last population centers

#monsterdon

carridine is not an attractive man and I feel like this was written with an assumption the actor would be attractive

#monsterdon

"We're a team, remember?"

Oh THAT makes a change, Frank. #Monsterdon

I'm snacking on some charduterie and chicken in a biscuit crackers. #monsterdon

now i want a hat that says

10 GOTO HELL

oh hoh hoh, well, we'll have to change the rules then won't we

#Monsterdon

Jesus Chrysler!
#Monsterdon #DeathRace2000

Must resist urge to make an automotive erotic joke...
#Monsterdon #DeathRace2000

#monsterdon David Carradine had to have such a sense of humor for this... we can call it a movie, uhh, but, it'd be better if we could watch it burn by throwing lit matches at it.

@nazokiyoubinbou #monsterdon

He's the Frankenstein of Theseus.

I rescind all criticism of David Carradine's costume. For the love of god put it back on. #monsterdon

I'm sure Frankenstein is on fetlife

#monsterdon #deathrace2000

I'm glad they let us film here before the TJ Maxx moved in

#Monsterdon

@Taweret like Jimmy Durante: "Good night, Mr. Frankenstein... wherever you are"

#monsterdon

Eyes Wide Shut has proved to everyone you can have a mass orgy wearing a mask and costume so there's no excuse, Frankenstein
#monsterdon #deathrace2000

@Binder I couldn't figure out if it was a beverage; or it was actually supposed to be some sort of fluid for his replacement bodyparts…

#monsterdon

I hate this movie, but those bodybuilders are very impressive. #monsterdon

What's the point of a pit stop, this whole FILM is the pits. #Monsterdon

Meanwhile, at the Holiday Inn...

#monsterdon

He's okay, they swapped his head with a porcelain replica at the last second. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #DeathRace2000 is one of a very few movies to get a zero-star rating from Roger Ebert. Ebert reserved zero stars for movies he felt were not only bad, but distinctly immoral. https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/death-race-2000

The hat was so fashionable
#monsterdon #deathrace2000

"meanwhile, innocent people are being slaughtered on our highways"

as opposed to the status quo

#Monsterdon

This was one of the first MAGA training films

#monsterdon

See, the other problem here is that at some point they're going to accidentally start making sense and it's gonna confuse everyone. #Monsterdon

@jivens #monsterdon

It's what you do when you don't have a Flux Capacitor.

is she his r2d2?

#monsterdon

So Carradine had the same "my face must be shown for 80% of the movie" like a modern Marvel actor?
#Monsterdon #DeathRace2000

Are the construction workers not men? They are DEVO!

#monsterdon

haha nice face reveal

#monsterdon

Different routes? I don’t think that’s how intercontinental races work

#monsterdon

What year is it?!

#monsterdon

Wait am I supposed to have a favorite in this race?

#monsterdon

Okay we're gonna drown in satire aren't we?
Nice Howard Cosell sound alike there.
#Monsterdon #DeathRace2000

holy shit the synth organ slightly-offkey Star-Spangled Banner

#Monsterdon

The Navigator position became necessary after the Great GPS failure of 1999. #monsterdon

How will I distinguish between flying and soaring for my #Monsterdon bingo card‽ #DeathRace2000

Can’t believe they got the real Frankenstein for this race. What a huge celebrity cameo!

#monsterdon

Frankenstein has a cape?
I love these wacky cars. Very 70s tokusatsu.
#Monsterdon #DeathRace2000

I love the lion car omg

#Monsterdon

This is some goofy-ass shit for sure

#monsterdon

So this movie is the bastard child of Cannonball Run and Wacky Races?
#Monsterdon #DeathRace2000

POV you the person in that tuba to the face meme

#monsterdon

smaug breathing rankin bass brand flame to doom metal is pretty delicious

#monsterdon

Plus, my BINGO card is pretty much completely filled in!

Edit: I should have filled in "Tailpipe" for a 5th BINGO.

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonBingo

Nope. I gotta headache. No more metal for me.
Good night Monsterdonians everywhere.
#Monsterdon #TheHobbitonWeed

#monsterdon #monsterdondoublefeature #miru

y'all i can't not watch the rankin bass hobbit dopesmoker

https://miru.miyaku.media/

#Monsterdon

are they having Second Breakfast?

#monsterdon #BakedPotato #WrongRace

@ramsey @miru #monsterdon #BakedPotato #WrongRace

Apparently it's The Hobbit with "Dopesmoker by Sleep" played over it? idk...

@catzilla I had to look that up, and uh yeah.

#Monsterdon

So the guy who killed the president, in front of a huge live crowd, hangs around. He puts his hand in the air on live TV. The entire security detail guarding the president is like "Meh, I guess we work for that guy now..."

He's not arrested, not shot. Not even detained as a person of interest. Because, let's face it, none of us had any interest in him. It's fine. Everyone's like "yep, I guess that's what happens."
#monsterdon

I was watching Miru’s stream, and now it’s the old Hobbit animated movie but with a rock band???

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon #BakedPotato

shoulda been on the soundtrack: Ministry, "Jesus Built my HotRod"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmenTtGe_6I

Oh god. The movie thinks it has a MESSAGE 🤮 #Monsterdon

The first #Monsterdon of 2026 is in the can!

Thanks to @Taweret for hosting, and racing us into the new year!

Tonight's feature, #DeathRace2000, from 1975, was a kind of Speed Racer, Mad Max, Judge Dredd, and Cannonball Run fever dream mashup. We also had,

Were there dueling musical editors?

#monsterdon

"President Frankenstein, you can't call off the race!"

#Monsterdon

President has gotta be worth a lot of points
