In the later scene we learn that the animals on the nuclear test ship mostly died, but three of them lived and John drew pictures of them - they all look like animals with hands because radiation makes you evolve more. And also they refused food and water like the radioactive zombies of today.

#monsterdon Imagine if other movies did that. Imagine Alien, but we don't get to see the alien ship. They just come back with some sketches of the egg-pods.

ahahaha 'no law against sketching what we'd seen' is a clever budget plot device in the absence of literally any effects, i'm not even mad #monsterdon

This whiskey was made in my jail cell, under the toilet, where the water comes in and it gets chilled and flavored… mmmmm... musky…

Do you believe in mental telepathy? ESP? Clairvoyance? And the theory of the loch ness monster?

After splashing in the pool, the two bikini girls avert a Bechdel pass by talking about which of the boys they think is cuter, but then get a surprise Bechdel pass as the yellow bikini girl spots a radioactive zombie stalking them so they talk about being stalked by a monster and run away in terror.

After reading the bible and discussing the number of wrenches of radiation that are falling outside, John brags about his book collection and decides to build a swimming pool outside so we can "take turns bathing in it" meaning that we'll probably get a bikini scene to awaken the audience.

oh wait and then I blinked and there was a bikini scene. how could i have known?

It is unclear why this movie is called "In the Year 2889" when it seems to take place in the present. But, I'm guessing that there will be some stupid voice over epilogue that looks back on these events for 2889.

#monsterdon I get the distinct feeling that the director or writer of this film was saying "The kids will watch for the monster, but if they pay attention, they'll learn an important lesson, too!"

I've had the world cup on tv the last 4 days. Watching this I keep looking in the corner for a roentgen count...

John and Elvis go outside to find that a radioactive rabbit has been trapped and eaten and they blame the radioactive brother for that because he skulks in the woods and talks about wanting to eat meat. Apparently, this is offensive to the laws of man and god and now the guy is a mutant and also there are probably more mutants everywhere or some shit.

Anyway, three weeks into the future have happened and we are hanging out in the Plantation Bunker's Stairwell Drawing Room and John tells Elvis, "wow its weird your brother is still alive after all the radiation and he also hasn't drank water." and then the brother wanders down and says "I'm going for a walk" and they stare at him.

After he leaves John is like "your brother seems danger I think we should kill him" and Elvis is like "bro, wtf?"

I'm not saying I *want* to see the character development we're being told about.

None of these people are characters yet.

He should be destroyed. When he comes back, let's dunk on his haircut and how his pants are too short.

The old dude objects to the ranger guy joining their secret apocalypse club house, because he doesn't have enough food, but he is overruled and the ranger guy joins their house.

Then at dinner the old guy explains that he's in charge (red flag) and has been preparing for the apocalypse for 10 years (weird, yellow flag) and also made a cool paper mache model of his house and yard (weird, green flag).
