Jet-age Jazz, man! #Monsterdon

"Thaats raaight, a SPACE. SHIP." #Monsterdon

Yeah, I'm just gonna leave THE ERRATIC SUPERPOWERED CYBORG ZOMBIE standing next to THE ALIEN INVASION CRAFT while I go ride my vespa.

Totally safe.

#Monsterdon

Rock climbing, #monsterdon .

Calling it bingo

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Code twenty-four? Oh, why didn't you say so?

what the fuck is this thing? is this the space monster that the frankenstein has to meet? why do they have him? their vaporization rays and the womb squad seem to work just fine and are facing exactly zero resistance #monsterdon

Close call! Movie masterfully avoided passing the Bechdel test.

#monsterdon

Dr. Nadir (my beloved) has a smile that could launch a thousand ships (from Mars)

#Monsterdon

Quick, cover her in chenille!

#monsterdon

giggle giggle "PURIFICATION"

They're going to wash them in 99.44% pure Ivory soap!

#monsterdon

Soundtrack's gone kind of split personality here. #Monsterdon

Ooh! I want to go to a pool party.

(But with no people)

#Monsterdon

I'm not saying this is good, but it's entertaining. #monsterdon

needing to constantly calm karen down from falling in love with all the robots is just part of the job! #monsterdon

@ricci I wonder what the Spacemonster is doing right now

and also what it is

#Monsterdon

Frank, after wandering the Caribbean : “Fyre Fest Bad!”

#monsterdon

Whatchya doin frank?

Oh just Frank things

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Whoever was in charge of the soundtrack for this film should have been fired.

It took me until just NOW to realize this film is black and white 😳

#Monsterdon

Ha! Now it's Roman Holiday meets Frankenstein and the Space Monster.

#Monsterdon

b***** that guy was only normal for 5 minutes you do not get to be in love with him the plot does not warrant it #monsterdon

Can't help but wonder why the *princess* is the one judging the captured woman...

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon aliens involved in illegal human trafficking

"I want to inspect her myself"
uh, is the breeding stock for the Princess? #monsterdon

I wonder for what reason they had no dialogue in that beach kidnap sequence. Couldn't get good audio on-site because of the wind and were smart enough to write that in or adapt the script on the day of shooting?

#Monsterdon

"Oh he could feel and experience things, but he wouldn't know anything"

Cuts to scene of a ket head stumbling around on a beach

#Monsterdon

What is with this era of movies and their obsession with breeding :neocat_surprised:

Is this a post-WWII social thingy?

#Monsterdon

sexytimes with Dr. Nadir

#Monsterdon

Ohhhh, this is where the Frankenstein Monster thing comes from, isn't it?

The Android Astronaut has gone berserk, like a Tesla!

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon So, is NASA not making any effort to recover their bailed-out astronaut?

It was a bold decision not to employ actors for this movie, it almost paid off....

"THERE CAN BE NO MORE FAILTURES"

That monster is clearly on the bad acid, hence the Jazz

#Monsterdon

The villain's costumes. I need a behind the scenes explanation/story. #monsterdon

preliminatry pre-takeoff procedures. so before before the takeoff? i think someone's getting lost in their own jargon here. #monsterdon

"...but what about the pre precautionary pre-takeoff pre-procedures?"

#Monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpaceMonster

Remember when you were wishing the rockets to launch? Remember those days?

#Monsterdon

This really is what people were listening too as they designed and built humanity's greatest rockets

#Monsterdon

check out this dope cyborg guy look at him brain *fiddling with the doodads with a giant screwdriver* #monsterdon

A Frankenaut!

#monsterdon

NOT EVEN TRYING to get the dubbing aligned. not! in! the budget! #monsterdon

I like the contrast between the princess not acting and baldy being a little too excited

#Monsterdon

@diazona Hah! Superb!

#monsterdon

Well Frank and the Space Monster fucked off into the sky over the sea, I guess?
And the scientists cold on the trail are going to fuck near the sea shore.
#Monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetstheSpaceMonster

@rebeld

Spaceship’s fueled by babes

#monsterdon

And when they met it was murder...
And very very foggy. We can't see the fight guys.
#Monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetstheSpaceMonster

Thank you @Taweret for the one touchpoint we can all agree on. Mostly. 😆

#Monsterdon

@allanb @davesdogmaggie @judgement_dave mmm, I'd only say 80%. I mean, if you comingle cringe and tragedy, which can absolutely be legitimate

#monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpacemonster

@binford2k

"It's those Swifties, I tells ya...!" /s

#Monsterdon

At 1:12 “Frankenstein” does meet the space monster. So, OK. #Monsterdon

Frankenstein meets the Spacemonster: the best possible reminder that the quality of the movie bears no relation to the quality of the viewing experience. I had fun tonight 😀

Plus the meme potential is off the charts

Thanks as always @Taweret for hosting and everybody for posting! Looking forward to next week!

#Monsterdon

I found the clip this is referencing, and it's almost as long as the movie. Six minutes in and it's been Jean Shepherd musing on the gas crisis, talking about how people from Connecticut are more polite than those from New Jersey and two solid minutes of commentary-free ham-boning. #monsterdon

#monsterdon I passed out. It's nearly ... yup.. its over. Okay! Moving on! hahahahaha

I feel like if this was edited down from 76 to 50-60 minutes, it would at least be too fast for us to care.

I guess delete the space monster, let Frank be more heroic for longer, and less of the weirdly slow travels and dances in the middle/later parts of the movie. It would still be a silly movie, but it would keep Creature with an Atomic Brain level of energy, so...

#Monsterdon

Man, fuck Jay and the Americans.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Okay, I don't think anyone will be surprised that I absolutely loved that. It was well paced, didn't overstay it's welcome, and came with more cheese than a cheese making convention.

Plus, that soundtrack.

That was amazing.

That flying saucer is much bigger on the inside. And more square.
#Monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetstheSpaceMonster

And the aliens fail to fuck off into space. Frank gets repaired, and then with Karen goes on a romantic trip on a vespa around Puerto Rico.

#Monsterdon

And we are wafted away on that surf pop love ballad... #Monsterdon 🤖 #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpacemonster

Wow.
I have an easy go-to aweful ending of a movie now.
a certain kind of impressive.

Well, I'm off to a chaser. Maybe The Addams Family or Screamers or something chill yk

#monsterdon
#FrankensteinMeetstheSpaceMonster1965

THE END!!! lmao

#monsterdon

Want Dr. Nadir (my beloved) to escape so that we can get a sequel

#Monsterdon

I thought they were just going to meet

This is so aggressive

#monsterdon

I mean a nuke would be overkill but yeah, we could blow the shit out of an apartment sized spaceship. #monsterdon

Epcot is under attack. Deploy the mouseketeers

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon F-86 Sabres as well, classic bird

@ottaross I was pre-warned that neither Frankenstein nor his monster actually appear in this movie

...so yeah, I guess

#Monsterdon

Take off every zig for great justice

#Monsterdon

Sky king! Sky king! Aaaaand sky king. #Monsterdon

these are great scenes!

WHY ARE THEY HERE?!

#monsterdon

Scramble all jets! Scramble all jets!

Quick, to the station wagons!

#monsterdon

I'm glad they've given this radio operator a lot of lines, he's magnetic /s

#Monsterdon

Just imagine if they had made these vespa scenes after segways were invented

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon how many women does this binder hold?

@CactuarJoe I'm betting 1.7 Aztec Mummies
#Monsterdon

@ricci Do you think NASA was charging and that is the real origin of all of our problems in terms of spending priorities? I'd buy it...

#Monsterdon

I want to see the doctor and Frank hold hands. They keep getting very close to it, but they never quite connect.

#Monsterdon

... Can we bring back this Music Break Between Every Dialogue Scene or Two?
It's like.
Really calming on my autsi social anxiety X,D

#neurospice
#monsterdon
#FrankensteinMeetstheSpaceMonster1965

Be right back, saluting the stock footage

#monsterdon

"Can't I just be flavor-blasted like the others?" #monsterdon

"Our electronic purification is going smoothly!"

"Yes, just how I like my OJ - NO PULP!"

#monsterdon

I hope this spacecraft has some Tardis features, 'cuz it's going to get pretty crowded in the little geodesic dome they've been showing us.

#Monsterdon

If you're gonna make pizza in a regular kitchen oven, you gotta buy a proper pizza stone. #monsterdon

Wow, they didn't try at ALL to save those women. #Monsterdon

Hey! That alien copped a feel! Watch them hands, Yoda! #Monsterdon

I think what really bothers me about all of these "we need X gender to fix our problem" movies is that any civilization that has developed space flight significant enough to send people to other solar systems should have developed artificial wombs and could solve their problems by just getting somatic cell samples (or germ cells if they were really picky) from a bunch of people and everyone would leave happy.

(can you tell I lost the plot a while ago?)

#Monsterdon

"i dance with a paper cup on my head! i'm so wild and crazy!"

#monsterdon

This is the worst movie to have the best soundtrack I've ever heard.

#Monsterdon

karen where are you goinnngngggggggggggg you had one job #monsterdon

lol, Adam and Karen really are on two different channels here

He's all focused on his little projects and she's telling him she's leaving him for a robot man

#Monsterdon

Frank's got ten megs of RAM, he's state of the art! #Monsterdon

@SnoopJ Looking forward to a meet-cute in which the spacemonster knocks the latte out of Frank's hand so they go to a little cafe to get a replacement

#Monsterdon

But he LOVES like a man!

#Monsterdon
#FrankensteinMeetsTheSpaceMonster

@ryan Heck yeah love a #monsterdon cave

Another "Beatles Interlude" as my kid is calling these musical scenes inserted to make up for lack of script. 😂

#Monsterdon

These musical interludes are quite baffling...

#Monsterdon

Frank's got all the lithe grace of a ketamine-addicted mountain lion. #Monsterdon

lol...the android still looks like a ket head at a beach party....

#Monsterdon

The blasters leave Trinitite behind!

#Monsterdon

Oh great, now Steel's hand is gonna melt off like that scene in Chernobyl. #Monsterdon

@ramsey "Spacemen came and zapped my rich husband away. Please can everything be mine now"
