"Go back to the office, marry a coworker, have babies!" is a common refrain in these movies, but at least here it's meant sarcastically.
YES, giant eggs are always good, take it and make omarisu!
"Omg you stupid colonizers don't touch the fresh hatched baby! Haven't you seen Gorgo? It came out 8 years ago."

@AnarchoNeighbor @LingLass @Taweret @Cherizilla @JoeWynne oh right, that explains everything.
@klu9 Okay the racism they're doing and specifically the kid being like no the statue's gonna fuck you brought it back, this was one of the late-night movies I watched early in the pandemic before discovering #monsterdon!
@CactuarJoe
1 person finally caved.
That person needs to be cast out of the survival mansion! 🙏
Oh hey they made a life sized ruined statue. Neat. That statue already has more budget put into it and art than In The Year 2889.
#Monsterdon #Gappa #TheTriphibianMonster
Oh right. We do a little island racism like every King Kong or Mothra movie.
That'd be why I remember this as a good bad movie. Good kaiju, bad brown face.
#Monsterdon #Gappa #TheTriphibianMonster
Sometimes the #Monsterdon films are so bad, they’re not even heckle-able.
@AnarchoNeighbor @LingLass @Taweret @Cherizilla @JoeWynne U.S. politics really is a dull plot.
Ahhhhnd I'm out
Wait, is this a level from a Tomb Raider game?
@strangefour@retro.pizza But it makes it clear from five kilometers that they're doing a colonialism!
#Monsterdon #Gappa
That doesn't look like a Moai. Head is far too tiny.
#Monsterdon #Gappa #TheTriphibianMonster
My kid did a better volcano project for science class
I will say this, the utter stupidity of #InTheYear2889 is exactly the kind of mental reset I needed today
@davesdogmaggie A little rain will fix you right up! #monsterdon
#InTheYear2889
The volcanic bombs make this an even more thrilling vacation spot!
#Monsterdon #Gappa
Ahhm, the shitass incandescent flashlights
Oooh. Giant set of glowing eyes under the water looks great.
Man I haven't seen Gappa in so long maybe it is better than I thought?
#Monsterdon #Gappa #TheTriphibianMonster
This was really… something. I’m noticing a trend lately with #monsterdon that every week seems to outdo the last in terms of “yep, worst. movie. ever.” but hey, we signed up for this 🤣
Have a fantastic week everyone! Do well. Do good.
@dogwelder @Louisa they fumbled that reveal so bad. "yeah, it was larry. oh well" #monsterdon
#monsterdon did we watch Gappa before? This is incredibly familiar- I think the plot might also be the plot of a Gamera? I know we had pretty lady ukelele boat cold open in Mantango already.
The main attraction is sexism!
Two movies in a row where an old man has a model made over a possible volcano.
#Monsterdon #Gappa #TheTriphibianMonster
@jonny exactly my thought
@apLundell They could've called it "Three Weeks Later."
The tedious old man, the menacing rapist, and dull plot sunk what could have been an interesting telepathic zombie film. Ah well. Thanks, @Taweret, @Cherizilla and @JoeWynne for the chance to share a partially irradiated future #Monsterdon
#monsterdon Most importantly, what did any of that have to do with the year 2889?!?
The wildlife on that island is Gigantic!
It's like this guy's never even seen Jurassic Park...
After that last one the color on this looks *amazing*
Playmate, Inc? Is this safe for work?
#Monsterdon #Gappa
Playmate land? The magazine or the toy manufacturer?
#Monsterdon #Gappa #TheTriphibianMonster
@kcarr2015 But we did get to see the Horta's love interest, tho?!... Matthew tells me there's a 1 Danny Devito limit! #MonsterDon
Well, that's another #Monsterdon in the can. Many thanks as always to @Taweret for organizing this every week, and @miru for the stream.
Have fun all y'all that are staying on for Gappa!
#monsterdon I had my previous post about the monster being fiance-Larry all cued up so I could gloat, but they never really did a reveal did they
I think they said it was Larry? But barely, in the rush to end the movie
🦖#MONSTERDON Goodbye!
Ugh, the real monsters were the movie-makers! But thanks to all of you in the Real-Time Film Analysis Squad for saving this 90 minutes!
❤️ And thank you so much @Taweret for hosting tonight's strange-sounding slog. We do this to ourselves. But your weekly hosting efforts are always appreciated!
🅱️ and thanks @cherizilla for the Bingo card! My favorite: "Dancing" because that was a real weird scene.
I wish we'd watched this version instead. https://tubitv.com/movies/493011/the-day-the-world-ended
watching Kaz Rowe's history videos on YT and doing the crossword for the rest of the night to create a protective updraft in my brain
I forgot Gappa had a jaunty little theme song.
#Monsterdon #Gappa #TheTriphibianMonster
@Configures
Oh, I think I just looked away while typing. That was maybe the most sudden ending of all of #Monsterdon
I'm gonna call the ongoing discussion on what was happening to the mutated humans Scientific Curiosity, and that's a win I guess, except that I had to watch this movie.
@davesdogmaggie Godmonster was goddamn cinema next to this
RE: https://retro.pizza/@CactuarJoe/116751737528073774
15 votes and we're still at 100% Awful. How long will it hold? :D #Monsterdon
I was a bit behind the rest of you but I made it to the beginning. Wow that was bad.
Move over Godmonster of Indian Flats, there’s a new sheriff in town. And by sheriff I mean worst movie.
#monsterdon And what was the point of the weird gun?
So it had an awkward extra-large magazine.
But why? Either in-universe or from a film-making perspective, why? How many shots did he fire? Three?
I'll bet the direction just owned that gun and thought it was really bad-ass.
G A P P A ! !
#Monsterdon #Gappa #TheTriphibianMonster
I didn’t like that movie. It was boring, and none of the characters were redeemable. Maybe Joanna and Steve, but only just barely. Tim and Jada should have hooked up. Still, it was fun watching with you all!
As always, thanks to @Taweret for hosting, @cherizilla for the bingo card, @JoeWynne for the drink recipe and trivia, @ryan for the live stream, @paco for data analysis at https://gallery.don.monster, @combatwombat for the replay, and all of you for making it awesome!
@blue clean water kills monsters so use clean water.
@jonny "strokelike dialogue choices" xD
If any of yall can stay up, we are about to have a good movie over on @miru with Gappa the Triphibian Monster
https://miru.miyaku.media/
#Monsterdon
oh no... ANOTHER DIORAMA
SEE, you should have stood your ground when he tried to grab your gun the first time
Closure: NONE! The BEGINNING! So you can have a horrible Garden of Eden, cliché "and the planet was Earth" ending. Fuck this whole thing. Everyone is poorer for having seen this film.
You know what did this well? The World, the Flesh and the Devil (1959). That was a GOOD take on post-apocalypse breeding, and ends in THE BEGINNING but it's not shit.
Here we go! Its #GAPPA
#Monsterdon2 #monsterdon
they really could have had a similar plot but had Larry protecting Johanna from the creepy guys and then tragically get rained on. still wouldn't have been great, but better than this.
but we got this instead
It's very funny watching everyone posting to confirm yes that is how the movie in fact ended
#Monsterdon 📅 ⏩ ⚛️ 💣 💥 🧟 🧟♀️ 🧌 😱 viewing of 'In the Year 2889' (1969)
This one was an all time stinker. Absolutely the pits.
@TerryHancock there's one last shot of Steve and Joanna holding hands and an ending card that says "The Beginning", but that's basically it.
Wut???
The Beginning? #Monsterdon
Shit, and not all the monsters died
#Monsterdon #InTheYear2889
I hope we've all learned an important lesson of some sort or whatever
Wait, so who is left? Steve, Joanna, and radioactive fog dad? Anyone else?
Thanks for a fun time of Frogs: The End of the World
#monsterdon
🎶 In the yeeeeaaaaaar 2889
was a film from 1969
and iffn' monsterdon viewers stay alive
/hums a few more bars, I got nothin'
The Beginning (of the budget running out) #Monsterdon #InTheYear2889
I'm supposed to be creepy but really I just have a red shirt.
wow, that was like the most room temperature glass of water of a movie i've ever seen in my life
You call it To beginning, I call it
-fin
#Monsterdon #InTheYear2889
FINALLY!!!! Wait, that was the end of the movie??
#Monsterdon
Poor Larry. Poor plot. #Monsterdon
They didn't even walk into the ocean. Welp, thanks as always @Taweret
The movie just kinda stops after it rains... Fuck off movie!
#Monsterdon #InTheYear2889
Mickey is pretty straightforward here. Not hiding anything. Maybe stop him before he kills again?
Well that was abrupt.
Those are the quietest gunshots I've ever heard.
Oh thank god it's over
And suddenly over, as is tradition.
I'm thinking about how that poor radioactive chipmunk couldn't drink from his water dispenser... Poor Chipzilla.
#Monsterdon #InTheYear2889
Noo! It needs to be the end!
oh FUCK you, movie
Prepper dad sure is slow with his secret revolver.
@jonny holy cow like that!
#Monsterdon 📅 ⏩ ⚛️ 💣 💥 🧟 🧟♀️ 🧌 😱
I too was created to live in a contaminated atmosphere (the internet)
"It was Larry" noooooooooo REALLY?? #Monsterdon #InTheYear2889
THATS IT? #monsterdon
FUCK NO!!!!!!!!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
#monsterdon #intheyear2889
#monsterdon this movie is so visually uninteresting I'm actually finding it hard to riff
Foley guy does it again.
It was Larry. I knew it!
Well, that was bad, wasn't it?
#monsterdon
#intheyear2889
#monsterdon lol what the FUCK
How DARE you end like that!!!!!!!
#Monsterdon 📅 ⏩ ⚛️ 💣 💥 🧟 🧟♀️ 🧌 😱
"You see, your fiance was created to live only in a contaminated atmosphere."
Are the mutants made of the same stuff as the Wicked Witch of the West?
I must have done some terrible things in a previous life, to deserve watching that movie....
how on earth are we going to do this in 20 seconds #monsterdon
