The Science of Science ... now with more Science!
another jazz week?
I suppose this intro tune was composed by a dalek after all...
#monsterdon
#drwhoandthedaleks
I remember my friends that like Dr. Who always going on about "Susan"
(emphatic orchestra music)
#Monsterdonπβ³πΈπ¨ββοΈβοΈπ€π―π±
NICE credits font! Wacky and orange!
Peter Cushing as a groooovy Dr. Who #Monsterdon
Dun Dun Dun - Dun Dun Dun - Dun Dun Dun - Oooohhhhhh - Weeeeee - Oooohhhhhhh
Wait, wait, wait. Stop. What is this music? This is not the Doctor's music. This is like .... Dalek Jazz?
Dr. Who, the βbrilliant science professor," and his two granddaughters?
This is going to be a ride.

WE GOT WRONG DOCTOR SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGN!!!
Ok! This is a new one for me as in a bad-ish movie that's well known. So... are we considering this a bad movie? Does it change things given that it's Bri-ish? #Monsterdon #DoctorWhoAndTheDaleks π½π₯πΏ
Was the romance sub plot pout in here to make the movie more interesting? I mean it is kinda working. The cliche melodrama is better than the slow serial killer plot.
#Monsterdon #TheFleshandTheFiends
Huh. This is probably the movie with the most boobs per minute of any Wrong Frogs.
#Monsterdon #TheFleshandTheFiends
@nazokiyoubinbou This one maybe? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0394062/ Came out 4 years after The Flesh and the Fiends. #monsterdon
@nazokiyoubinbou This is based on the real-life Burke & Hare murders (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burke_and_Hare_murders), so maybe Hitchcocks show did the same. #monsterdon
@nazokiyoubinbou It's not just a story, it's history.

#Monsterdon #TheFleshandTheFiends
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 πΆ
#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.
https://wikizilla.org/wiki/Dr._Who
#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.
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 youβre right that itβs an ascot.
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
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
@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
woah, that line about miracles was pretty good...
Not clear on the motivation behind the rope cut but, hey: it adds a plot twist?
@dawgeth I think you got exactly the right impression π See you next time!
Flishy flashy lights. Cool
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 Hareβ¦.
#monsterdon #postmonsterdon
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
@pngwen For a second I thought you meant Zoom the TV show.
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!
Oh jolly good! Double Cushing with a movie based on Burke and Hare!
#Monsterdon #TheFleshandTheFiends
Least likable character
#Monsterdon #DrWho #DrWhoAndTheDaleks1965
#monsterdon NO ARUU $350 FINE
????
Well, not everything can be Vogon Poetry.
The funeral-march cliff climb is a choice
Did I say it was a good choice? No, but it was a choice
Wow that was really bad, really didnβt 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
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
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
They materialized in the front row of a theater screening "I Spartacus"
Attacked by rear projection b roll! AAAAH!
Okay, so it goes full on Jerry Lewis, then boom, it's over.
so suddenly the tardis is tiny? or is it half-underground?
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
#Monsterdonπβ³πΈπ¨ββοΈβοΈπ€π―π±
did dr who bring loafers with him?
they didn't even give them lambis bread? #monsterdon
OH IAN
ok, that was pretty bad; might be the first #monsterdon movie I actually regret voting for π
if I were Ian I would dump Barbara the instant the TARDISβsorry, just TARDISβtouched down
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
a plastic poncho, I will hang it above my mantle
Well they cleaned up fast . With radioactive raincoats to commemorate it..
#Monsterdon #DrWho #DrWhoAndTheDaleks1965
Thuh-ree sec-onds to spare
#Monsterdon
"...thanks for saving us. Here are some radioactive blankets."
That oscilloscope on the floor must have fallen off of the wall.
A neutronic bomb is much more destructive than a neutron bomb.
And then the Doctor fucked off to...rome apparently.
Thanks @Taweret and crew, and have a lovely night everyone! #monsterdon
