love the secret entrance to the Darlek city, very much like a toy from the 80s...

#Monsterdon

While this riveting wall climbing is going on the Daleks have their fascist rally where they lead Dalek is all like "Today we will destroy the Thals by nuking everything!" and the other Daleks are like "Hooray! Destroy the Thals!"

#monsterdon

Plan to defeat the Daleks:
1) traverse the oatmeal swamp
2) observe matte painting of space mountains and also a moon
3) climb a wall to punch some daleks
4) ???
5) prevent the Daleks from nuking everything

#monsterdon

“It’s only a drawing.”

“Shhhh!”

#Monsterdon

WE-WILL-REITERATE

#Monsterdon

Princess Bride vibes.

#Monsterdon

events may be happening, but I confess that I'm kind of losing my attention here

I wonder what the Daleks are doing

#Monsterdon

At the top of this climb they gotta swordfight Inigo Montoya.

#monsterdon

I think its weird that we saw the one Dalek trapped under the cloak move a hand out from under the cloak and that was never followed up on as far as I can tell.

#monsterdon

After consulting the sacred history of our people we decide to do a quest through the oatmeal swamp that is full of ninja turtles... i mean... um "mutations" whatever that is.

#monsterdon

Sure Ian, head for the water. I'm sure there's nothing spooky in an alien swamp. #Monsterdon

Dr. Who out-logics the peaceniks. #Monsterdon

so like we are randomly teleporting back in time to a random alien planet, spending like one day learning about its history, and the good outcome is encouraging a peaceful people to go to war? #monsterdon

Drink when the Daleks say “THE. DRUG. OF. THE. THALS.” #Monsterdon

@jsadow it makes sense to have a means of identifying individuals, and sure why not festive colors, but they have so few colors and don't seem to have like.. a nametag or something. and they don't seem to have any means of identifying each other at all since it was possible for the human to just get in one and kinda sound like one of them a little bit and they were fooled #monsterdon

@yatsu The #monsterdon community is on board with “Plan Abandon Ian.”

That's what bugged me about the Battlestar Galactica ending, they threw away the history and culture of 12 worlds, billions of people....

#Monsterdon

ok so we made it back to the time and space machine so if we want to try and repair this timeline why aren't we rapidly teleporting back and forth through time to acquire the proper resources and historical context and so on to rectify it. and for that matter why aren't we just going back in time to when the crisis happened and stopping it. i don't get what the status of time and space travel in this universe is but i don't know how there could be another half hour of this movie #monsterdon

Anyway our plan worked for like five seconds and we escape to a locked room but then the Daleks radio for instructions and are like "oh no we've been heckin' bambozzled!" and summon a blowtorch dalek to slowly burn the door opened. They escape out an elevator but can't take Ian along because he's stuck in the Dalek shell and there was a stair involved.

#monsterdon

i mean, we COULD leave him. there's not much reason not to.

#monsterdon

Bet they had fun making that elevator prop

#Monsterdon

They killed a dalek and they're WEARING ITS SKIN. This is a HORROR FLIC. #monsterdon

your entire plan rests on them not suspecting you are just a guy in one of their mech suits, and they have cameras all over their facility, and you want to get out because it's HOT IN THERE??? #monsterdon

#monsterdon They are going to disable the Dalek with refried beans.

"do you think he's dead"
"... go over there"
#monsterdon

The Sounding of the Daleks (S12 E01) #Monsterdon

@kshernandez im gonna start calling those food delivery bots "daleks" now.

#monsterdon

Back in Rivendell, the Thals receive a letter (written under duress) from Susan who is like "yo the daleks have food come visit them" and they're all like "y'know we fought the daleks a thousand years ago but it was really nice of them to invite us to brunch, lets go."

#monsterdon

"Hey, there's a little man inside here!"

#Monsterdon

So the Daleks are bumper-car based!? Ingenious!

#Monsterdon

[grabbing a fistful of refried beans]
I think I've got it!

#Monsterdon

Star Trek had a lot of those same blond mutants. #Monsterdon

In the only good news to happen so far, the puny humans realize that the ring camera eyestalks in their jail cell are spying on them and so Ian and Susan use gynmastics and a screwdriver to turn the cameras off.

But then the Daleks are like "yo the prisoners are smart maybe we should kill them." and then the other dalek is like "nah lets kill the gay elves first" and the first dalek nods his eyestalk in agreement.

#monsterdon

ah we're doing electro woo-woo again

I mean, it *is* the 60s

#Monsterdon

Don't point, Doc. Rude. #Monsterdon

Ooh!! Lava lamps!! #Monsterdon

Fediverse Denizens in this #monsterdon movie:
* Peter Cushing Doctor Who
* Scientist Daughters
* Daleks (they get reported quickly tho)
* Apologetic Boyfriend
* Gay Elf

Suzie we asked you not to talk to strangers, especially strangers with drugs. #monsterdon

#monsterdon That's an intense amount of blue eyeshadow.

⏳ 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?

“My name is Alydon”

“WHO?!”

#monsterdon #DrWhoandTheDaleks

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.

#monsterdon

"It's all my fault."

Yeah, it is. #Monsterdon

i need a pair of pink capris

#Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks

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.

#Monsterdon

the neutronic war must have had pretty wild fluxes if it created this much planetwide radiation over an extended period

#Monsterdon

Dalek: IT

#monsterdon #DrWhoandTheDaleks

Is this like Star Trek where one can control the place/ship from the men’s washroom? Nope.

#DrWhoAndTheDaleks
#Monsterdon

i had never seen Peter Cushing playing The Doctor and am now feeling a way.

also, didn’t 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 don’t remember the show being Doctor Who… but then again, when i sometimes watched it as a child, it was on el Canal 6, Puerto Rico’s local PBS. and it was in ethpaneesh.

#Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks

are the colour coded Darleks like the colours in Star Trek, Command, Engineering?

lol, Roy Castle got Darlek gassed

#Monsterdon

The Chintz Curtains of the Daleks (S04 E12) #Monsterdon

listen… it's coming from over there…

some sick EDM samples

#Monsterdon

Meanwhile, in an adventure video game

#Monsterdon

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."

#Monsterdon

OMG THIS MUSIC IS JAMESBONDTASTIC!

#Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks

ONE

#Monsterdon

So far this reminds me of The Ghost And Mister Chicken (1966)

#monsterdon #doctorwhoandthedaleks1966

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

Well obviously he's created a basement universe in his back garden Ian, it's piss easy if you have a Supermassive Black Hole.

#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.
#Monsterdon #TheFleshandTheFiends

@strangefour #monsterdon #WrongDaleks

those interlocutors have never listened to James Brown.

@RobynGoodfellow ...it's the same with ICE I hear!

#Monsterdon

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.

#Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks #WeHaveDrWhoAtHome

@paco - Susan's Crusade will liberate the Universe of the Thinking Machines

#Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks

@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.

#Monsterdon

@blogdiva Dalek Travel Machine. Tesla Cyber Truck. They're the same picture.
#Monsterdon

that was technically a film i suppose!

#monsterdon

@jgamble @Terencio It should be more like this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dECUJDEtKB4

#monsterdon

We are Thals! We wear blue eye shadow, and kick ass! And we're all out of eye shadow!

#Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks

@jgamble #monsterdon

OK, bookmarked for later, thx...

@Taweret it was a great performance of a very mid character

#Monsterdon

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

The morals we learned tonight?

#monsterdon

worst peter cushing movie?

#monsterdon #WeHaveDrWhoAtHome

These pacifist Thals sure took to starting a war pretty easily. Maybe they really were a former British colony? 🤷‍♂️

#Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks

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:

AND. THEY. FUCKED. OFF. INTO. THE. TARDIS. THE. END. THE. END. THE. END.

#Monsterdon

A rare Monsterdon denouement… Monsterdenouement

#monsterdon #DrWhoandTheDaleks

“Wait! Lost count. Must start again. 100…99…98…”
#Monsterdon

An added bonus - toilet plungers for everyone!

#Monsterdon

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

#Monsterdon🌌⏳🛸👨‍⚕️⁉️🤖🏯😱

the dalek tops are lefty-loosey righty-tighty I guess?

ty for joining, everyone!

Ian has slight David Tennant vibes. He should've been Dr. Who instead of Grand Moff Magoo

#Monsterdon

The Daleks lethal weapon is a JUUL? #monsterdon

oh hey, Ian did something right for once!
