Hey #Monsterdon I'm only half watching this second movie playing on Miru's stream, but...

This was on an Alfred Hitchcock episode... I've seen a few other things since that I realized came from some author that got adapted for show. Even one thing that was directly from an author who was used several times on it I think even. Is that what's going on here too? Is this from some story that got adapted to that too?

It feels like sometimes that show was just used to bring stories over to America that would have been missed otherwise.

Like a surgeon.
Scalpeled for the very first time 🎶
#Monsterdon

Trying to figure out how much 8 guineas is worth today is tricky. Currency conversion is a few hundred dollars I think? But they were made of gold so technically worth thousands today.
#Monsterdon #TheFleshandTheFiends

Think that should've read crofter btw.
A farmer, wee farm specifically.
#Monsterdon

So this movie is one part romantic comedy, one part early science of surgery in England, one part Black Adder sketch without jokes.
#Monsterdon #TheFleshandTheFiends

. . . The Aristocrats!!!
#Monsterdon #TheFleshandTheFiends

And stay away from all boats Mary.
All boats.
#Monsterdon

What the hell is wrong with boat loving Mary?
#Monsterdon

FIRE BAD! RAAARGH!!
Wait why did she do that?
#Monsterdon #TheFleshandTheFiends

See. They're like filthy rats in human form. Observe the subtle commentary.
#Monsterdon #TheFleshandTheFiends

@allanb @diazona There's always another Dr Who, the international Judas one.

#Monsterdon

Burke and Hare case is a dark and sordid tale, but I can see why it was remade as a dark comedy. Brits by nature just have the potential to do both at once.
#Monsterdon #TheFleshandTheFiends

She's lusty for boats
#Monsterdon

Old school, posh boy piddling contest.
#Monsterdon

@strangefour @paco very plausible

(one time I did #Monsterdon from my car, kinda similar in spirit)

I lied earlier, the only other Doctor Who media I have seen is this specific scene.

#Monsterdon

Wait isn't this room with the coffin a set from Black Adder?
#Monsterdon #TheFleshandTheFiends

Daft Jamie was a real person I think.
Not going to spoiler
#Monsterdon

I'm just glad self-sacrificing almost falling into the abyss guy was ok.

Thanks @Taweret & all

#Monsterdon
# DrWhoAndTheDaleks

@diazona Okay. I forgot when the code was but assumed this was after it. Still the random nudity feels outta place. unless this is supposed to be a much sleazier movie. But Peter Cushing isn't sleazy...
#Monsterdon #TheFleshandTheFiends

@RobynGoodfellow @kcarr2015 I said in another post that I thought it was a variation on a cravat, but I think you’re right that it’s an ascot.

#Monsterdon

Wait what nudity? Huh. Is this a precode film?
#Monsterdon #TheFleshandTheFiends

Calling the police to help murder someone is maybe not the best idea.
#Monsterdon #TheFleshandTheFiends

The accents in this are wild btw.
Hardly any Scots.
#Monsterdon

For those of you scrolling through your timeline, you're about to hit a big mass of Monsterdon postings about Doctor Who and the Daleks (1965) and the second, Wrong Frogs feature.

Should you not wish to read through them, here's how to filter them out, at least on the web browser:
1) right click on the gears & open in a new tab
2) choose "Filters" then "Add New Filter"
3) give the filter a title, check all boxes under contexts, choose hide completely and put "#Monsterdon" in the keyword box.
4) Click on "Save New Filter"

... and you're done.

What total berks these two are with their thick cockney accents.
#Monsterdon #TheFleshandTheFiends

the dialogue in this movie is pretty good so far....

#monsterdon #WrongDaleks

Hmm do I own the RIfftrax of Doctor Who and the Daleks? I think I do. Maybe I'll rewatch later this week.
#Monsterdon

Well. This #Monsterdon movie was better than most...
:tardis:

See ya!

one more joke:

We Have Daleks At Home #monsterdon

@Rozzychan
The whole soundtrack felt very un-Dr-Whoven. 🤔

#Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks

I can't say that I'm satisfied with this alternate timeline Doctor, but at least my vision processor has to regenerate depleted photochems for the next three hours, from all the oversaturated colors. 80% of the effects budget was just paint and color gels. #Monsterdon #DoctorWhoAndTheDaleks

@mason@partychickens.net subscribing to the fedi.buzz relay feed for #monsterdon by your admin beforehand can help get you better connected, not sure about faster processing for timelines, might be a limit of mastodon servers

#monsterdon #WrongDaleks

woah, that line about miracles was pretty good...

@silverwizard I guess there's some WWI trauma in that #Monsterdon #DrWho #Daleks

Not clear on the motivation behind the rope cut but, hey: it adds a plot twist?

#monsterdon

OK, if anybody in the #Monsterdon crew hasn't seen Alasdair Beckett-King's take, go watch it now

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFOv4nlL88M

@dawgeth I think you got exactly the right impression 😛 See you next time!

#Monsterdon

Flishy flashy lights. Cool

#monsterdon

On #miru, it's time for "The Flesh and the Fiends", also distributed as "The Fiendish Ghouls", a movie based on the story of Burke and Hare….
#monsterdon #postmonsterdon

Well .. that certainly was a movie!

My first #Monsterdon in the can. Really cool that you guys do this. Hope to join next week .. maybe more on time! :)

#monsterdon

Well that was more like Doctor What The F?

Thanks as always @Taweret for hosting and everyone for posting! See you next week, unless you're sticking around for The Flesh and the Fiends

#Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks

Thank god that's over.

Thanks @Taweret for hosting, @cherizilla for the bingo, @JoeWynne for trivia, @ryan for the stream, and everyone for suffering along every time they called Peter Cushing "Dr. Who."

Stay tuned for MORE CUSHING on https://miru.miyaku.media

#Monsterdon

@pngwen For a second I thought you meant Zoom the TV show.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Look, this was bad. But I've never laughed through a countdown sequence like that in my life!

Thanks, @Taweret , @Cherizilla , @paco , @JoeWynne ,
whoever else I forgot and all #monsterdonians

Ha HA, now they're stuck in Rome, what a riot!

Well, that was certainly not what I expected -- I expected something more, like, in-continuity, and without the kind of conceptual mistakes that get you laughed out of DragonCon. But it was definitely, without a doubt, in color!

Goodnight, #monsterdon, thank @Taweret for offering this up for our consideration, and see y'all next week!

A nice #Monsterdon for sure! Thank you for hosting again @Taweret. See everyone next week!

#Monsterdon

It didn't work anyway #monsterdon

Oh jolly good! Double Cushing with a movie based on Burke and Hare!
#Monsterdon #TheFleshandTheFiends

Why didn’t we use the hashtag #WrongDoctorWho for this? What a missed opportunity.

#Monsterdon

Least likable character

#Monsterdon #DrWho #DrWhoAndTheDaleks1965

thanks Ian for the send off

Thanks gang, y'all stay warm & safe ✌️

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon NO ARUU $350 FINE

????

#monsterdon

I had fun in spite of it all, but that was one of the more brutal slogs in recent memory.

#monsterdon

Well, not everything can be Vogon Poetry.

#monsterdon #doctorWhoAndTheDaleks1966

The funeral-march cliff climb is a choice

Did I say it was a good choice? No, but it was a choice

#monsterdon

Wow that was really bad, really didn’t justify the runtime, I have never seen Peter Cushing acting so poorly in my life, the Dr. Who character is just an old scientist and I really could not engage with the plot at all.

And what is this ending???? Capes?

I need some radioactive swamp water to reset my brain now.

Thanks everyone for joining and @Taweret for organizing

#monsterdon

Arriving in an unintended location is the first thing in this which felt like a Dr Who I recognize & it's the last thing which happened. #Monsterdon

Um. You materialized the TARDIS below ground level, you old fool. #Monsterdon #DoctorWhoAndTheDaleks

#monsterdon I do really like this control room.

Welp, that's The End.

Thanks to @Taweret as always for running #monsterdon ! Special thx also to @cherizilla (in abstentia) for her bingo and @JoeWynne for the trivia!

See you next bat-time, same bat-channel for more bad movies and great companionship! :blobheartcat:

#monsterdon Ian at the end there...

and the TARDIS lands in another movie

#Monsterdon

They materialized in the front row of a theater screening "I Spartacus"

#monsterdon

Attacked by rear projection b roll! AAAAH!

#Monsterdon

Okay, so it goes full on Jerry Lewis, then boom, it's over.

#Monsterdon

so suddenly the tardis is tiny? or is it half-underground?

#monsterdon #WeHaveDrWhoAtHome

Oh no they landed in a movie theater!
#monsterdon

And why is the TARDIS constantly beeping is he deaf? >_< #monsterdon

@Terencio I wonder how much an original alien shower curtain would go for

#Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks

#Monsterdon🌌⏳🛸👨‍⚕️⁉️🤖🏯😱

did dr who bring loafers with him?

It seems like we stopped the doomsday countdown by tricking the Daleks into shooting their own computer. This works for some reason.

So far the Daleks in this movie do not seem to be very bright.

#monsterdon

they didn't even give them lambis bread? #monsterdon

OH IAN

#Monsterdon

ok, that was pretty bad; might be the first #monsterdon movie I actually regret voting for 😛

if I were Ian I would dump Barbara the instant the TARDIS—sorry, just TARDIS—touched down

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

They also have trouble leaving when the party is over..

why doesn't the small one ask for a strand of his golden hair? this is all wrong

#Monsterdon

a plastic poncho, I will hang it above my mantle

#Monsterdon

Well they cleaned up fast . With radioactive raincoats to commemorate it..

#Monsterdon #DrWho #DrWhoAndTheDaleks1965

Thuh-ree sec-onds to spare
#Monsterdon

"That's my lucky number!"

Yes, the number sideways M.

#monsterdon #doctorWhoAndTheDaleks1966

"...thanks for saving us. Here are some radioactive blankets."

#Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks

That oscilloscope on the floor must have fallen off of the wall.

#monsterdon

That was a quick wrap up #Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDalek

A neutronic bomb is much more destructive than a neutron bomb.

#monsterdon

And then the Doctor fucked off to...rome apparently.

Thanks @Taweret and crew, and have a lovely night everyone! #monsterdon

M is your lucky number?

#monsterdon #WeHaveDrWhoAtHome

.....really, movie? Really?

[sighs heavily]

#monsterdon #doctorWhoAndTheDaleks1966

as far as i've been able to see the gas does nothing to the humanoids, it just instakills the daleks. respawn and choose a different loadout jesus christ #monsterdon

OH NO THE LAVA LIGHTS WERE TIPPED OVER

#Monsterdon #DoctorWhoDaleks1965

Good job, you've committed genocide!

#monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks1966

Ian's heroism will never be forgott... oh he lived. N/m #Monsterdon
