How can you not love this robot?
You could probably make your own if you had a big cardboard refrigerator box with an inverted stew pot for a head.

Meanwhile, the driver ran into the invisible ball and hurt his head. The then walks in to taunt them and the professor points a gun at her. She ignores his threats and the bullets from the gun, then walks up to him and taunts him with more "fools I have powers beyond your understanding!" type lines. Good for her.

More brazen than even the Ur-Quan Kzer-Za, the explains Martian history and her evil plan - the Martians had a war of the sexes that wiped out most of the men, and so she need to kidnap some earth boys to repopulate mars. Also I guess wars like this are common in space, who knew.

I guess because the 1950s was a different time, the earth boys are not immediately lining up to be subjugated but are instead feigning unhappiness at this.

After the flying saucer cools down and stops spinning, we get some goofy drums and horns as the long-awaited, titular descends from its landing ramp and stares at things like Kim Jong Il at a tuna canning factory.

She is greeted by the balding fireplace guy, who panics upon seeing her; she responds to this by smirking and then vaporizing him with a ray gun. RIP fireplace guy, RIP.

Unaware that the murderboyfriend and the fancy lady know each other, the bar maid confesses her love to the murder boy, tries to get him a room full of junk and broken furniture to stay in, and ponders absconding with him to abroad (he suggests Ireland, because you don't need a passport to go there I guess).

After some conversation, we decide that the flying saucer is still very hot, so we're waiting for it to cool down, and I guess that's why its spinning. Somebody goes to find the nearest phone, which is in a nearby village; I too hate it when I leave my phone in a nearby village.

In another conversation, we learn that the murder guy knows the fancy lady from the past, but I'm not sure from where.

As we settle down to eat a large urn of soup together, the escaped convict barges in and is immediately identified by the guests as an escaped convict. However, he is saved from Scotland Yard by a loud noise that turns out to be a Gigantic Glowing and Spinning Flying Saucer, that everyone stops to look at. Erecting its landing dildos and shooting fireworks everywhere for no reason, it settles on the moor and then decides to spin, glow and whir for a while longer

After talking about the cool meteor that is probably a flying saucer, the news guy tells us about an escaped criminal, who we then see skulking by the road. He then wanders into the pub, where a younger barmaid is his girlfriend or something, so he visits her to hide out from the cops. The boss lady is suspicious of him, but the two of them spin up a story quick enough to appease her and get him a job as a bar worker.

launching my thread for , a movie in which I think Earth is invaded by a thirsty martian dominatrix.

Monsterdon is the thing each week where we watch an old monster movie and make fun of it. Mute the hash tag if that sounds boring to you, otherwise, follow along and enjoy the flood of posts.

@jonny Hmm yeah I caught the bit about testing the metal, but I assumed it passed its test since it managed to land on Earth in the first place. Plus if we wanna get technical, it definitely looked like an explosion rather than a hull disintegration. (Because *of course* this movie holds up to that level of critical analysis πŸ™„)

Though I suppose either way there will be more spaceships

So, I've finished #Monsterdon, despite the weird audio/video mismatch I had (don't know how that happened).

This movie had quite good FX/models, sound effects, music, and even the costumes.

But yet again we see how a bad script can just ruin it all. This was the most boring movie. Even some clever dialog writing could've made it better. But this was just dull.

We should cut a music video out of it -- it'd be more watchable. "Planet Claire" maybe..?

@diazona @SordidAmok Honestly it's sunscreen! It's just so ubiquitous now and it wasn't at all then, and sun is the biggest driver of aging skin (two other big drivers common in the 50's were alcohol and smoking).

Well, that was fun. No plot to speak of, and they didn’t restrain themselves on the visuals quite as much as maybe they should have. And the acting was… visible. Still, as far excuses go to sit on my butt and scarf down chocolate covered almonds for an hour and seventeen minutes, I’ve had worse. #monsterdon

That had to be one of the most boring sci-fi thrillers I have seen

The first #Monsterdon of 2025 is in the can!

Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!

Tonight we watched #DevilGirlFromMars, from 1954, where a leather-clad alien, armed with a ray gun and a robot, comes to Earth to collect Earth's men as breeding stock. This attempt at interplanetary Tinder provided all manner of fun, including:

Fallen meteors!Smokey spaceship!Invisible Wall!Dominatrix space alien lady!Johnny Robot! Not to be confused with Johnny Cab!Martian Blur-O-Vision!
