β³ 30 MINUTE POLL
The number of experienced Dalek operators were limited, so when the big battle scenes needed many Daleks, who were brought in to play extra Daleks?
Ziggy Stardust?! #Monsterdon
#monsterdon Weird choice to make Susan younger like this if she's still going to do adventurous stuff like this.
when I saw that cape I thought it was Dolemite.
"It's all my fault."
Yeah, it is. #Monsterdon
i need a pair of pink capris
Having the tickertape fall directly in front of the screen seems like a design flaw. #Monsterdon
TBF the Doctor did do a shitty thing and Ian is taking it quite well, I would have beaten the guy myself....
...meanwhile the child stumbles around in the nuclear wasteland.
the neutronic war must have had pretty wild fluxes if it created this much planetwide radiation over an extended period

Is this like Star Trek where one can control the place/ship from the menβs washroom? Nope.
i had never seen Peter Cushing playing The Doctor and am now feeling a way.
also, didnβt know the OG Doctor had daughters.
also ALSO: when did Dr. Who become Doctor Who? cuz am from the creepy blonde Who generation, and i donβt remember the show being Doctor Whoβ¦ but then again, when i sometimes watched it as a child, it was on el Canal 6, Puerto Ricoβs local PBS. and it was in ethpaneesh.
are the colour coded Darleks like the colours in Star Trek, Command, Engineering?
lol, Roy Castle got Darlek gassed

Meanwhile, in an adventure video game
Ian's shoes are positively Elfin. #Monsterdon
"I'll try the fault locator"
"Hmmm, this appears to be a spinning tube with a light at the end."

So far this reminds me of The Ghost And Mister Chicken (1966)
Star Wars came out when I was 9. I remember talking to my dad about it and him telling me that Guiness and Lee were these big time actors. I told him 'yeah, but there still in this kids movie'. And him saying, "that's why it's such a big deal'. Early film lesson. #monsterdon
The first thing he does is break a tree. Mind your manners, fellow. #monsterdon
Shave and a hair cut -- whoops, budget ran out, no two bits. #Monsterdon
Oh dear, Pete's in Avuncular Uncle mode today >_> #Monsterdon
Donald Pleasence with a head of hair is a frightening thing. It's like looking into the cold dead eyes of a shark.

those interlocutors have never listened to James Brown.
@RobynGoodfellow ...it's the same with ICE I hear!
I just noticed something:
- Quatermass was broadcast by the BBC in 1953 and adapted to the big screen by Hammer Film Productions in 1955, with a sequel two years later.
- Doctor Who was broadcast by the BBC in 1963 and adapted to the big screen by Amicus Productions in 1965, with a sequel the next year.
@paco - Susan's Crusade will liberate the Universe of the Thinking Machines
@kcarr2015 I have no idea. I guess I saw it as a cravat, but it looks more like he got lazy tying his bow tie and just went with it.
@blogdiva Dalek Travel Machine. Tesla Cyber Truck. They're the same picture.
#Monsterdon
that was technically a film i suppose!
@jgamble @Terencio It should be more like this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dECUJDEtKB4
We are Thals! We wear blue eye shadow, and kick ass! And we're all out of eye shadow!
OK, bookmarked for later, thx...
@Taweret it was a great performance of a very mid character
The morals we learned tonight?
don't trust the old man. He will lie to get what he wantsdon't give the drug-obsessed daleks what they want. They will betray you the older you are, the dumber and more useless you are.if your first experience with a drug is bad, the next logical step is to destroy the planet daleks have no concept of aim. If you point two at each other, they will blindly kill each other. They don't know how to not pull the trigger.
worst peter cushing movie?
These pacifist Thals sure took to starting a war pretty easily. Maybe they really were a former British colony? π€·ββοΈ
Another #Monsterdon is in the can!
Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!
Tonight's feature, #DrWhoAndTheDaleks, from 1965, was missing much of the timey wimey wibbly wobbly stuff. Instead, we had:
A TARDIS made of string and cardboard!Petrified jungle!Dalek city!Disco Thals!Dalek claw!Blowtorch Dalek!Lots of climbing!Deadly swamp!Nutromic Bomb!Longest countdown ever!Radioactive blankets!
AND. THEY. FUCKED. OFF. INTO. THE. TARDIS. THE. END. THE. END. THE. END.

the dalek tops are lefty-loosey righty-tighty I guess?
TIL fire extinguisher spray makes computer consoles explode
daleks are so self destructive
defeating the daleks by pushing them around a bit
Ian has slight David Tennant vibes. He should've been Dr. Who instead of Grand Moff Magoo
The Daleks lethal weapon is a JUUL? #monsterdon
oh hey, Ian did something right for once!
Daleks using that weird faux Greek font
The Doctor and Susan have been taken prisoner and the prison now is in the control room where the Daleks have started their "nuke everything" count down at 100.
No one will be seated for the chasm crossing scene! that goes on at length! #monsterdon

I don't really know or even care WTF is going on
DIG THAT COUNTDOWN FONT.
@combatwombat He fell like 2 whole feet
A room full of darleks babbling at each other is pretty freaky though.
They should do something about all those open life shaft...idiots...
while i was shitposting and not paying attention, one of the Thals wanted to go home but fell off a cliff because they had to cross a cave cliff in this movie.
Dalek city defenses so far:
* oatmeal swamp
* wall
* cave cliff
oh come on, he doesn't even get a scream while falling to his death? weak
They're bringing the lights to the rave party.
like people flashing their cell phones at a concern. are the daleks gonna come out and put on a number?
Time for more rock climbing. #Monsterdon
Time for the other redshirt to die, huh? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon
In the oatmeal swamp, Ian decided to wash his face and saw a fish or monster or zombie or something, so he left, but then we discover that there are water pipes in the swamp that the Daleks use to get their water that maybe we can sabotage or something.
But anyway, the the main Thal Elion or Elrohir or somebody goes to wash his face and gets dragged into the swamp by an unseen something. But anyway we just ignore that and move on.
He seems new at this. Not that good at Doctor Whoing yet.
#Monsterdon
@Taweret innit? #Monsterdon
@srol It is true that despite being a Dr Who movie it has a standard B movie plot.
@moira They don't talk as much as these Daleks
@jonny They must only be able to identify each other through color because they all speak in the same voice so maybe they can detect subtle variations in holiday toy colors.
π΅ THE SWAAAAMPS ARE ALIVE WITH MUUUTAAAATIOOOOON! πΆ #monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks
Quick, Doc, roll for initiative. #Monsterdon
Make sure to invite Daleks to your party and give them drugs so they don't blow you up
We get a philosophical sequence in the swamp where the Thals are like "bummer I wish we could reason with the Daleks" and then the Doctor is like "you cannot reason with them, they are genocidal fascists!" which is a thing the Doctor would say in the show but makes no sense for this current context where the Doctor knows very little about the Daleks, but then the Thals are like "nah we can't fight we're pacifists now because of the nuclear war." and then they're both like "ok bye."
Wonder if the individual Dalek colors are more than just a fashion choice.
#Monsterdon
#monsterdon ok the overabundance of dalek dialogue is really irritating
As the puny humans escape, the Thals have shown up with their wicker baskets to collect all the food.
BTW I'm pretty sure this movie is like 75% just ripping off that one story from the real Doctor Who original series... Almost everything that has happened is just a really crappy version of that one being rehashed, but in color and lavalamps.
If the Thals make it through this, they are going to kick ass on the '80s new wave music circuit with that hair and makeup combo.
Pretty heavy conversation about Fascism, Resistance and War...for kids.
@CactuarJoe OSHA requirements #monsterdon
@CactuarJoe they hate themselves most of all
Aw, I thought Ian had been BBQ'd.
Having captured our dalek, we unlock it and um... throw out the squid thing that drives it.
Anyway we get Ian to sit in the empty dalek shell and um have him pretend to be a live dalek escorting the prisoners out. Except he doesn't know how to drive the dalek shell and they have to drag it along, so this is very much a "here's a stupid plan the players made up that the GM has to pretend might actually work."
LA LA LA JUST TAKING OUR DALEK OUT FOR A WALK
why did the daleks make control panels covered in buttons and dials when they literally only have a claw and a whisk
Why is Barbara wearing a basketball on her head?
#monsterdon
we devised an escape plan where we confuse the dalek then blind its eye with the pudding then grab it while its screaming for help and trap it on a cloak so it can't move because it needed the floor for power.
