I'm assuming these are two pod people interacting at the garbage truck, which kind of scares me regarding the level of knowledge these pod people picked up so quickly.
Humanity doesn't stand a chance.
all she wanted was a pepsi
A white man cooking with a wok in 1978? More likely than you'd think.

"Something's missing from Jeffrey"
Is it acting ability?
Well be careful there Jeffrey you're within the Splash Zone
Nice wok, but those veggies look very unseasoned #monsterdon
@bunnyhero same here
#monsterdon
Man, Sutherland had that rakish smile, almost effortless - the Ladies must have loved him
#Monsterdon
So, is this the older version of the professor in Animal House?
@Callalily I get it. But this is 1978. I don't remember seeing anything like that back in those days. #monsterdon
so... show of hands, does ANYONE run to their boss's place when their boyfriend is acting funny? anyone at all?
stir frying with no oil in the pan and no heat, my suspension of disbelief is shattered #monsterdon
Great googly moogly eyes
Hope she checked that food for rat turds. #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers
when i was a kid, people-replacement stories like this always freaked me the fuck out #monsterdon
Ummmmmm he wears a cardigan, he chops celery AND he's Donald Sutherland! Yes, would. #monsterdon
Iโm not 100% sure, but I think that might be the same sweater he wore in Animal House. #Monsterdon
also just the sound design, the silence compared to the vibrant noise
#monsterdon
Donald Sutherland could slice my bok choy #monsterdon

The cardigan and cooking his own food
@amyfou Alien garbage trucks, apparently so
My youngest, when she gets creeped out by Geoffry's heel turn and the music sting comes on: "What, did she hear the music too?"
@srol where there ate turds there is the Fly perhaps? #Monsterdon
Ahhh yes, the courdoroy couches of the 1970s.
It's true. Jeffrey rides in station wagons now. #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

@detritus It's a weekly watch party where people start watching a (usually bad) monster movie in sync and share commentary on it.
It generates a *lot* of posts, so you might want to mute the tag unless you want to follow along. We're watching Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) this week. You can also follow #MonsterdonAlert for announcements and the movie selection process, if you're interested.
Looking forward to finding out what alien pod people board meetings are like
Ah right! Body Snatchers Uber. Or is it Lyft?
Love that crazy station wagon
#Monsterdon
Ole Jeff kinda needs to die soon. #Monsterdon
"I'm going to have to miss the game."
BUT I'M NOT AN ALIEN! #Monsterdon
@WhiskeySailor Welcome to the 1970s in San Francisco #monsterdon
Is Jeff Goldblum playing the rat turd? Because it does feel like it should have at least second billing at this point. #monsterdon
Due to an error in sequencing all of the pod people come out exactly like Joe Pesci
@wohali Very common in the New Deal and through the 1940s.
It's like her boyfriend is into drugs or into men all of a sudden
I have to go too a meeting ... of Pods Anonymous.
"i have to go to a meeting" i feel like i'm about to find out how much Animorphs was inspired by this movie #monsterdon
Jeez, the guy looming behind the glass door! #monsterdon I wonder if this movie was an influence on Too Many Cooks?
Nipple shot!
Not sure I got a good enough look at the lab set-up to critique it, sorry folks.
"All dentists are weird."
WTF?! Okay so there is gonna be alot of weird background stuff going on isn't there. And I'm gonna miss half of it looking at chat.
#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78
Oh, hell no. Boss calls me after hours, I'm speaking Russian and pretending I have no idea who's on the other end.
Letโs compare ads, I got Freedomcare and Cascade dish soap whatโd you guys get #Monsterdon
wow, that was one creepy hallway. GREAT shot. #monsterdon
#Monsterdon banjo man outside government office
definitely the san francisco experience
@jonny whew I thought it was my network but yeah I am kinda used to this being the #Monsterdon look anyways :blobtonguewink:
Was the department of health ever this well-funded? #monsterdon
I do enjoy how unsettling this movie is
#monsterdon
Especially one with MARBLE HALLWAYS???
No shade, I love some good banjo music.
Wait lmao who was that guy in the department just pressed up against the frosted glass door #monsterdon
Is that a rat in a bag, or are you just happy to see me?
[dude walks straight into her] "Oh I'm sorry" yeaaaaah that's how it goes
this is such a great movie for outerwear oglers like me
so many sweet 70s coats & jackets
#monsterdon #BodySnatchers78
When did health inspectors care about the non-health-related quality of crappy ingredients? #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatcher1978
It's a potaupsy
who the hell is that dude in the doorway? wtf? #monsterdon
He's an anti-dentite
Dentists...plants coming alive...big Little Shop vibes #monsterdon #invasionofthebodysnatchers1978
People randomly running! A dog playing a banjo (he's telekinetic)! A baked potato!
#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78
Wow, this turtle-necked nightgown is quite the contrast from last week's costumery choices
#Monsterdon What is it about dentists in plant movies? Little Shop of Horrors - and now this!
Pretty bold move making the hero of the movie a health inspector. #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers
I'll give this movie a hundred dollars if she comes back out and the guy with the banjo is playing It's Not Easy Being Green. #Monsterdon
People are running! Reasons? Probably! #monsterdon
The background action in this movie is impeccable #monsterdon
@brooke and the boyfriend is WEIRD! #Monsterdon
@jonny I think we're all guessing
Potato autopsy!
Imagine a department of public health that was trying to protect us from fake food.
Can you?
๐ฅ
Random banjo player. Bingo! #Monsterdon
Geoffrey has developed a strange communion with household trash. Not that it's ordinary trash, but still
I wouldn't have put together that this is the same guy without everyone's comments because I already forgot about him
but "my boyf is a pod person because he took out the trash" is pretty classic
That dog! It's a pod-doggie!
Guy seems really into garbage trucks. Really dedicated to get up that early to go see it #monsterdon
Iโve always wondered where those folks were sprinting to. #Monsterdon
Why is she cosplaying as a silk pillow case?
Award for best horror timing so far goes to the pinwheel
First appearance by the dog!
I wonder how many car parking scenes this movie set in San Franciso has? #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatcher1978
#Monsterdon
#InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers
He's wearing a suit and using a dust broom. Jeffrey is not the same man you went to bed with. He is going to organize your life!
I too like to stand and stare at garbage trucks as they drive away. #Monsterdon
anyone got snatched yet or should i just guess #monsterdon

๐ถ Unique music...This movie was scored by Denny Zeitlin, famous jazz composer. It's the only film he ever scored.
Jeffery is just a slave to the invasive species now
normal response to a clock that, being a clock, would make that noise all the time
@brooke wait I saw that it was missing but missed that it broke
"Geoffrey you're being uncharacteristically helpful, it's weirding me out"
#monsterdon #BodySnatchers78
That's a hell of a nightgown. I guess 1978 does qualify as shoulder pad territory. #Monsterdon
This movie is legit well directed, really into this #monsterdon
IIโve seen it for a decade, but I just realized the famous pic of Donald Sutherland pointing is
A) from this movie, and
B) not John Cleese.
Never trust a Geoffrey with a G. usually a pod. #monsterdon
@srol like a horse head? ๐ #monsterdon
So ... a compost truck? #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatcher1978
Ahh!!! Even with the forwarning on the feed the alarm was freakin' awful.
Worst alarm clock ever
#monsterdon
Childhood memory unlocked! We had a bunch of those metallic pinwheels in the 70s. They're kinda nice honestly, I miss them.
