looked away to work on the poster for a minute, look back because of the screaming and the cyborg has already gone rogue, he was normal for barely 5 minutes #monsterdon
#Monsterdon a cyborg.... driven .... to KILL
Maybe this open flame will calm him down
"sit her in the back row etc"
is this gonna turn into a monster and/or cyborg fucking movie? coz i'm not 100% against that, i just wasn't expecting it. #monsterdon
Maybe we'd trust robots more in 2025 if they made bleep bloop noises
#Monsterdon full marks for this actress on her evil queen smirk.
Our wounded robot spaceman looks like he has a couple of lamprey eels on his chest.
IT'S THE SPACE MONSTER! #monsterdon
Mull: Hi.
Support group: Hi Mull.
#monsterdon
He seems nice
Lol Alien Whamo Air Blasters. I had one of those as a kid in the 70s.
Space bassoon sounds ominous #monsterdon
#monsterdon Looks like we found Two-Face after allโฆ
#monsterdon I love space princess hat! It deserves to be in every movie.
He took a shotgun to a laser blaster fight

๐งโโ๏ธ TRIVIA MEETS THE SPACEMONSTER
Remember, the alien guns are slightly modified Wham-O Air Blasters.
The tragic end of Elmer Fudd. #Monsterdon
It's a Buckminster Fuller spaceship!
Guys, using what might be footage of F1 engines isn't going to work for retrorockets
doo doo doo
doo doo doo
chickca chicka chicka chicka
doo doo doo
Y'know for Space nerds there is some great stock footage of NASA craft here....
LES stock footage!
This Bezos / Dr. Evil creature has some extraordinary eye-rolling skills
I like the Princess's style of command.....
#Monsterdon i am loving this launch prep montage with the weird existential rock song
i love the soundtrack.
look scientist man is not wrong about the idea of unmanned space exploration
Army Frankenstien? #monsterdon
This is what a shy person's brain looks like though #Monsterdon
This dude glitched like Mitch McConnel! #monsterdon I knew he was a robot.
Cyborg Colonel!
Freeze frame!
Speaking of NASA, I was wearing my festival boiler suit with the NASA patches on it for my Mother In Law's 60th last night and while having a vape on the street outside the pub a young women in a pink tracksuit asked me if I was from NASA and I think she really meant it, bless.
Anyway, the movie...
And now gentlemen, the Holiday Inn staff are asking us to clear out
They look so uncomfortable. #monsterdon
I really didn't expect to be this enthralled by the visual choices.
Also NASA nerd points yess.
@ricci the music must be playing on loudspeakers outside the car. #monsterdon
I am seriously loving the stock footage.
they get into clown outfits before climbing out.
Ha! Everyone into the back seat of this car! Is that general sitting on the lap of the lady?
That's a very uncomfortable back seat arrangement there, is this a ride share?
Who is this dynamic man? #monsterdon
"Pressure suits and breathing apparatus" so I'm not the only person who find the plural of apparatus awkward to use?
(I always want to say apparati)
Is that one of the demon women from Mars? #monsterdon
"A missile attack, how quaint! Vaporize their largest continent." #Monsterdon
Aw yeah, give me an elaborate headpiece immediately. #monsterdon
#Monsterdon they found intelligent life on earth? i don't believe it
Huh, Uncle Fester the Vulcan. #Monsterdon
alright i'll be half watching this one since i gotta get my second scipy poster ready still.... but i can't focus anyway so why the heck not #monsterdon
Futurama what?
Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster (1965) #monsterdon now playing on https://miru.miyaku.media :miyaku:
@combatwombat ooooh I love this ๐
Seeing the #monsterdon posts in my timeline is like having a backstage pass to Mystery Science Theater 3000. :-)
Bat boy and the Alien Princess were really giving off Riff Raff and Magenta vibes. I kept expecting them to do the forearm-touching thing at several points.
@WhiteCatTamer @wohali oh excellent, thank you! This is a good one
@ohiofi They came so close to passing the Bechdel test! But Karen was determined to give no valuable intel to the enemy, and good for her. #Monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpaceMonster
And a big thanks to @Taweret for that wonderful tale of Beach Mayhem, Aliens Need Women, a Secret military robot-astronaut named Frank, Bat Boy chewing through the plywood sets, women under sheets being evaluated as prospective breeding stock by the Alien Princess, heavy use of stock footage, radioactive atomic poop, and a poor misunderstood Spacemonster in a particularly hot costume trying not to step on the cameraman. Oh, and the director's enthusiastic fetish(es).
I think that covers the high points. And coffee.
@blogdiva Oh no. Well it's a charmingly good bad one. It's short and stupid. Would recommend a watch even after the watchalong.
#Monsterdon
@wohali @WhiteCatTamer There is this https://techhub.social/@diazona/114809613155327817 but they weren't really smirking in that scene
@socketwench Really. Just "greetings, we're space aliens of the planet [indistinct]. We need some people to leave your world and become breeders on ours because somehow our big war selectively only killed women."
I mean they would have totally gotten volunteers back then. And today they'd have to fight off all the people who'd do almost anything just to get off this planet.
Instead they went with all this and got themselves blown up.
So--"Distant Cousins" did the music. I gotta say that they're a great knock-off band,
laying out the styles of the popular music at the time, from Billy Vaughn's "Wheels" style guitar work at the beginning, British Invasion style, Frank Sinatra, Johnny Rivers style...man, they're talented that way. Not as agile as The Roots but damn close.
Oh yeah--I did do a bingo card, got a bingo quite some time ago--but I have to say that when I marked "radio broadcast" it was in reference to a sound effect they used as precursor to theramin: it was RADIOTELETYPE. Yessirree, this movie was a nerd's delight!
#Monsterdon
@davesdogmaggie I like Mel Brooks. Young Frankenstein is one of the greatest comedies ever made.
But his films are _very_ heterosexual. Not on purpose! Not with intent! Just are.
That's why we need someone like John Waters. The queerer, campier, and more tragic they can make it, the better.
lol according to letterboxd i *have* seen this before? #monsterdon
I gave it one star on #letterboxd mainly on the strength(?) of Dr. Nadir's weird performance https://letterboxd.com/anderson_petaq/film/frankenstein-meets-the-space-monster/ #monsterdon
I feel bad Karen is trapped in this film #monsterdon

That was a classic "Y'all quit smooching and clear the theater" ending.
On an unrelated note, all of the commercials on Tubi were in Spanish.
๐ฆ#MONSTERDON Goodbye!
Thank you @Taweret for hosting this fast-moving flick! I knew I was going to like it!
and thanks @Cherizilla for the Bingo card! My favorite was "Someone Gets Smacked". Probably should be permanent.
And to all the members of the Real Time Film Analysis Squad: Thank you for a consistently funny tootstream!
Damn that was a good movie! #Monsterdon
@RobynGoodfellow It had space helmets and monsters and fake ears, it had everything I love about mid-century sci fi :D #Monsterdon
Cripes, does this movie end with the US military invading Puerto Rico?
Thatโs some humorous scrambling the jets music! #Monsterdon
@cocaine_owlbear
Me too. Born in 1952, visited PR in the 7th grade, wore outfits like that, joined the Army just after Nam- so it was a lot of flashbacks! #Monsterdon
Watching this mofo again tonight.
@himbovoorhees c'mon, it's a classic "suddent end" #monsterdon style!
Did anyone else notice that they deployed FU squadron?
(But not really. Iโm just doing a bit. Iโm sure theyโre lovely people, or were.)
I did get bingo before the end. Just barely!
Hey, where's my intimacy coordinator...!?
@jonny The movie isnโt called Frankenstein Fights the Spacemonster, itโs just Meets, and I think they technically got there. #monsterdon
'This scene was brought to you be The Male Gazeยฎโฆyes, The Male Gaze: "It's Hegemonetising!"'
That was sure a movie!
I hope Karen can find another way to fill her heart now that Frank is gone
Thanks @Taweret for hosting, and thanks community for the laughs! :)
The fuck was that ending.
With minutes to go, the space monster is out of its cage.
@binford2k Well, if the subtitle spelled it โel telephono,โ then the subtitle writer is racist. ;-)
I looked away while I was typing and missed the end to the very, very bried fight between Spacemonster Mull (Mok?) and Frank
WELP THAT'S IT SHOW'S OVER
Progress Island! Puerto Rico!
#Monsterdon ๐ต๐ท ๐งโโ๏ธโ๏ธ ๐ ๐พ ๐ฑ
I guess I missed the ending.
Oh well.
Thank you @Taweret for hosting, @JoeWynne for the excellent trivia, @Cherizilla for the bingo cards even if she couldn't watch with us, and, as always, most of all to our fellow #Monsterdonians for making it fun!
Fell asleep through most of the film, woke up just in time to see the alien space ship blow up. Guess I didn't miss much!
Well I fell asleep for the last 15 min or so. Or maybe not idk #monsterdon #frankensteinmeetsthespacemonster
How much is Adam enjoying being grabbed that way? #monsterdon
... the fuck?
