I want to personally apologize to #monsterdon for voting for that movie, I did not realize it was not set in the far future and was actually just set in the shitty shitty present that was our past. I should try to be a more educated voter.

Goodnight everybody, see y'all next week!

And so they fucked off to… shit, I don't care where, as long as they. fucked. off.

Wow that was abominable. I lost like 15 sanity points watching this. Fucking hell. Although, as my partner points out, it was actually pretty easy to riff. So there's that.

Thanks for making it fun, fam, you guys are the best. Love ya'. Take care of each other. Be kind, spread love, watch better movies, and play games.

Goodnight!

I remember Joel Hodgson saying in an interview that there were some movies they never did on MST3k because they couldn't subject the writers to watching them multiple times to write jokes. It wouldn't surprise me if this was one of the movies he was referring to.

Congratulations, everyone, for successfully making it through the year 2889 (except it's not the year 2889, I guess?) in the year 2026

Thanks to my inability to remember when I owe my spouse a date night, I joined y'all tonight through the magic of time travel (watching it hours ago and using scheduled posts), which somehow feels appropriate for a movie that doesn't take place when it purports to either

IT'S ALL LIES!

#monsterdon the more I think about it, the more I realize this movie's plot catalyst could have been "a weird comet crashed nearby" like all the 50s Monsterdons

So if this is a million years of evolution in a short time, the implication is that we're evolving towards staggering, disintegrating ghouls?

If only there was some way to determine who is on the other side of this glass door without opening it, guess let's just face possible death instead

@jadebees @Taweret @cherizilla In that sense #InTheYear2889 is a masterpiece.

The prepper is in way over his head;
has absolutely no conception of genetics and is happy to lean on the bible when his rudimentary coffee-table-book knowledge about radioactivity hits its limits;
and likes the idea of being in charge a lot more than he understands the implications of his decisions.

Truth in television.

YES, every movie needs a beach or swimming scene so the female cast can get almost-nekkid!

When they said "pool", I thought natural pool. Nope, just a swimming pool, implausibly cleaned without a poolboy.

Do you believe in mental telepathy? No, these characters would need mental processes first.

The first taste is never good, like this movie.

And as another movie ends with all the grace of a plane crash, we say aloha to one really awful film. As always, just one last thing to do before you leave the theater:

Was IN THE YEAR 2889 (1967) the WORST #MONSTERDON MOVIE OF THE YEAR?

Jfc. I looked down to type something snarky and the movie ended. Did the woman have a baby? Does it get its own gun?

What the 🀬

Sure am glad we get to see the biggest immediate threat let off the hook again and again. Sure ramps up the, uh. Tension. I guess. Not at all frustrating.

If pointing the Geiger counter at Granger measures 740 Roentgens, doesn’t that mean he is *emitting* 740 R, not that he was *exposed to* 740 R? Like perhaps he is contaminated with radioactive dust measuring 740 R?

#monsterdon I mean, I realize that they think the wind is in their favor or whatever.

But in the event of nuclear war, I would still recommend at least closing the windows, and not going outside for long romantic strolls.

is it good when a plot abruptly jumps 3 weeks into the future because the writers can't really think of any way to move the story along naturally
