holy stapled on ending #monsterdon

@yatsu That and "Do you like turtles?" #Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

@Taweret yeah what are the seed pods for anyway in that case #monsterdon

thanks for the fantastic #Monsterdon selection @Taweret ...it even kind of just ended like a kaiju film by Honda :blobcheeky:

Thank you for watching, and please worship at the pod of your choice. #Monsterdon

"it doesn't make sense"
isn't that p much #monsterdon 's motto? (^_^)

it doesn't make sense

#monsterdon

@trixter They should do a remake where it's reversed, the pods are genuinely fixing people's broken lives without destroying them but the "hero" is on the radio screaming about the Woke Pod Virus. #Monsterdon

@Louisa
It's those high heel shoes they have to wear! They are painful and walking is exhausting.

#monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

The authorities believing him in the end and setting things right feels like a late addition.

If his town really does export big weird crops, you’d expect him to work that into his delusion. #monsterdon

Still, a movie I probably should have properly watched by this point in my life bot had not, so checking it off my list! And chatting about it was fun as always! #Monsterdon

No pods were harmed in the making of this movie. #monsterdon

@Taweret Thanks! #Monsterdon

@Taweret Excellent podcast #monsterdon

Thanks again everyone! Thanks for hosting @Taweret! Sleep tight tonight! #Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

@joewynne @Taweret I assume they drain all their bank accounts and run up their credit cards #monsterdon

okay but the pods taking over your real body when they grew another body still doesn't make sense tho

#monsterdon

@Taweret The pod body, or as they're colloquially known, poddies. #Monsterdon

@Taweret thank for hosting! great time as always #monsterdon

So the ending is from Shadow over Innsmouth. #monsterdon

alright, thanks everybody! go, uh, cuddle up under you covers and-- find your best uppers, guys, we can't let them get us!!! #monsterdon

@Taweret
Right! what happens at the time of the switch? Do they kill and dispose of the human?

#monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

OMGOMGOMG cliffhanger! :ahhhhhhh: #Monsterdon

@rwhe

they do NOT waste any time with a denoument or anything
#Monsterdon

Someone please tell me what #monsterdon is. 😵‍💫

Never mind that, someone call Mothra #monsterdon

Oh hey, he actually made it in time! I dunno, that feels less satisfying. :P #Monsterdon

truly unquenchable horny is when you can't resist the smooch in the quarry mud on the verge of sleep #monsterdon

considering ol' boy just watched his entire town get taken over in like 2 days, you'd think he'd be a little more suspicious of authority figures. #monsterdon

@Taweret They skip over that in this version. They show it in the 70's version. It's grizzly. #Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

Okay but watching this in 2023 with people talking up the Great Replacement Theory on mainstream cable news and politicians trying to convince people that THEY'RE COMING FOR YOU NEXT is eeeeeeeee #Monsterdon

"Don't just sit there measuring me for a straitjacket!"

my man, it's the 50's. take your thorazine #Monsterdon

what happened to the pod body tho?

#monsterdon

Surprise it was all a dream! #Monsterdon

Should have taken drugs. #monsterdon

@Taweret don't ask questions and accept it

just become One of Us #Monsterdon

Chief, you've just spent the last hour and a half telling your story to vegetable men. #Monsterdon

Is the 70s remake more or less about Communism than this one?

Can we expected a godawful 20s remake about the Woke Mind Virus? #monsterdon

I bet those pods would be good battered and deep fried #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe #Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

If only women could help with escape plans or stay awake or walk on their own!

#Monsterdon

This street scene is making me rethink the guy yelling about lizard people in uptown Charlotte.

#monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

are there two of her now? did the pod body just disappear?

#monsterdon

@Taweret It only makes sense if Becky was a pod body all along #monsterdon

@joewynne

something they fixed in the 70s version
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

no really. what happened to the pod body? if they take over your real body when you sleep, why do they need to grow pod bodies? how does that work?

#monsterdon

Can't sleep. Commies will eat me. #Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

That's way up on the bad breakup scale #monsterdon

i ran so far away

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

How'd pod Becky get there so fast? #Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

...Wait, if you go to sleep and wake up a pod person, why do they need to grow a new body? #Monsterdon

There goes Becky. #Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

@joewynne

so... where was her pod growing?
guess I'm not supposed to ask that...

#monsterdon

Not now miles! #Monsterdon

so if this body is now the pod person, what happened to the pod body that was growing?

#monsterdon

okay, this reveal is also really genuinely good #Monsterdon

_Now_ is where the 70s version's point-and-scream would be perfect.

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

The idea of trying to vilify farmers is *pretty wild*. #Monsterdon

@Taweret
That's their jam

#monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

it's actually true that in los angeles if you run in any direction for long enough you end up trapped in a quarry and surrounded by pod cops #monsterdon

sorry sport, becky's gone pod-goth

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

okay, the pod people were simply listening to the local Ethereal Siren station

#monsterdon

I'll wash my face in the toxic wastewater and relax a moment.

#monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

as day for night goes, I have to admit I've seen worse.

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

@yatsu Eh, they were getting full views of the crotch of every doughy white guy for miles around, better than saltpeter in your coffee D: #Monsterdon

I dunno could be a trap...a pod lady singing a lullaby to make them sleep so their bodies can be snatched #Monsterdon

She never heard the saying "beans are the musical fruit" I guess #monsterdon

this movie is really just a long commercial for energy drinks #Monsterdon

A lot of yelling for emotionless plants. #monsterdon

Let's get a smooch in while we have a break!

#monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

Y'know, if they'd dug just a little more, they could've had a lively conversation with Bender's head, got themselves going again. #Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

My god, there's a siren trapped in the well! #Monsterdon

man, in the dark, laying so close to each other down there? i'm surprised they didn't try to get it together in the middle of this sequence. #monsterdon

The pod people do not excel at finding people. There is hope.

#monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

Abandoned Mine! The perfect hiding place!

#monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

Another rock quarry. They're going to pass Dr. Who going in the other direction. #Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

double windmill syringe to the ass is the blocking every actor dreams to receive #monsterdon

Ooh, that was a nasty faceplant #monsterdon

man it's a good thing the county never finished that bypass tunnel, otherwise they'd have a way out

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

@Zerofactorial I dunno, it's kinda nice watching the extras get to chase something for a change. Enrichment, y'know. #Monsterdon

meanwhile, yours truly is long since a pod person, five flights of stairs? just give me the pod, i volunteer as tribute. #monsterdon

The pods were too perfect. They clones the donuts too. #Monsterdon

@brion It's all right, tomorrow can be upper body day #monsterdon

You can tell this is about the evils of communism because all the pod people get stuck queuing for that staircase. #Monsterdon

"They're over there!"
Thanks, eagle eye >_> #Monsterdon

Whew, those steps! Should've taken more amphetamines #Monsterdon

I'll give these guys this much, they can handle five flights of stairs pretty well #Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

After watching movies with hundreds of extras panicking in the streets watching just two of them is somehow unfulfilling #monsterdon

"Steps!" Oh right. We've been neglecting our cardio. #Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

#monsterdon What kinda fookin siren is that?

I always feel bad for the women in these flicks, imagine trying to run for your life and you're in HEELS, jeez. :/ #Monsterdon

RED ALERT *BWAAP* #Monsterdon

ACAP all cops are pods #monsterdon

@SchlocklusterVideo

dog with Jerry Garcia's face was a nice touch in the 70s version

#Monsterdon

I wonder if that was a Pod Puppy #Monsterdon

@brion Must. Not. Flirt. #monsterdon

this is also called the Imotep Defense. #monsterdon

Donald Sutherland is very upset that he didn't get to point menacingly at anything during this feature ...

#monsterdon Be funny if their biology was so different than sedatives acted like PCP.
