@floatybirb I think the lesson was a bit more general: If you try to steal people's shit, they are going to fight you. Even if the gods told you to steal their shit.
@floatybirb My favorite character was old man tighty whiteys, rockinβ the glorious dad bod.
This is Alpha Control saying great job again team, another movie launched into space, but we'll keep a copy of this one. And thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting ^_^
#monsterdon More endings should just be...skeleton combat.
And that came to a rather abrupt end.
That was a lot of fun, gang. Y'all always make it better, and that one's pretty fun to begin with.
Anyway, I'm done for the night. Take care of each other. Be kind, spread love, watch all the Harryhausen you can.
Goodnight!
Thankyou for the stream, @miru !!
I'm off now to tell my GP that I died last week.
Yes, let's gloss over Medea killing her baby brother and the whole Circe thing...
#Monsterdon #JasonandtheArgonauts1963
Great show and riffs, thank you for all those responsible especially @miru for the great pre show!
In conclusion, we need more healing flowers
Thanks as always @Taweret for hosting and everybody for posting! Now on to The Beat from 20000 Fathoms....
"We're tired of making this movie now. ROLL CREDITS."
If it wasnβt for #Monsterdon i wouldnβt get any posts all night.
π¦#MONSTERDON
Need more Monsterdon? We feel you.
Right now you can head over to another movie at
for the double feature Part 2
Missed it and want to watch later?
@combatwombat will post a link for a replay at your leisure. We recommend watching it at work.
That was a lot of fun. I liked that movie. Thanks @Taweret for hosting, and all y'all Monsterdonians. #Monsterdon
I think Zeus got distracted by all the bone activity
@floatybirb
I could see Londo being the guy throwing the hydra teeth. Haven't given it enough serious thought though.
@ottaross That was a category 5 denouement.
#monsterdon
Thank you everyone for a delightful #Monsterdon
That was dated but fun. Some delightful Harryhausen animation and some really dumb earnest acting choices.
And thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting!
No return to finish up the prophecy?
But that was definitely a good time.
@miru between the music and your interstitials, it feels like I'm watching Adult Swim between shows, and I love it.
Well that was a delight. Yay Harryhausen! Practical fx beats the hell out of CGI so often.
#Monsterdon
Well that was perfect, @miru viewers stay tuned for MORE HARRYHAUSEN: The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms (1953) https://miru.miyaku.media/
Jason WILL RETURN in ...
Well I'm certainly not going to Schneer at _this_ production, for what it was that was pretty great. Phenominal work from Harryhausen, dang.
Abrupt ending in the middle of the story, natch
Abrupt ending, Right on time, just when you least expect it.
Ahh, a much nicer ending for Medea than she gets in the old stories.
Skeleton army final showdown was pretty awesome. Thanks #monsterdon ers. Tomorrow at 8 P ET #mondayactionmovie is featuring.....Take care. See ya soon.
I wonder if King Neckbeard is sending the skeletons against the argonauts because he knows his mooks won't be able to beat them - or perhaps because he wants to demonstrate the power of having a skeleton army under his command.
#monsterdon one of the most abrupt endings, almost mid-fight
And they fucked off into the reflecting pool.
zeus running from the kissing part? really? that seems hardly likely

It's delightful how lively Jason's skirt is. #Monsterdon #JasonandtheArgonauts πΏπ₯
Did they just use up all the power of the fleece? Itβs no longer shiny.
@JoeWynne still holds up #monsterdon
Why would stabbing a skeleton have any effect at all
#monsterdon This is so much better than the Hydra fight.
This one actually feels like the monsters exist in the same universe as the human characters.
oh no, that one lost his head!
The skeleton quailing and clutching its arm after it gets slashed!!
holy hell the motion smoothness, and the interaction, this is astounding
harryhausen really was a mad genius
Attacking one at a time and canβt aim, clearly the skeletons of imperial stormtroopers #Monsterdon
#monsterdon
Hey, what happens if you throw a golden fleece on a skeletor? Will he heal?
Ray did actually take lessons in swordsmanship so he could get the feel of it!
While fleeing from the Colchisians with the glitter fleece, Medea gets shot by a Colchisian archer. But then we lay the glitter fleece on her to see if it can heal her and it does. So that's nice, we stole a magical healing fleece.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa fuck lmao
#monsterdon
They should have bone swords and bone shields
Flank them until they get arthritis
Those skeletons may be dead, but they still have a sense of style with those shields #monsterdon
These skeletons were awesome in their day. I remember seeing this as a kid and being pretty impressed.
#monsterdon
@trixter It's the bones of the hydra's previous victims
@ottaross I would be very happy if the skeletons turned out to be a boy band and challenged the Argonauts to a dance-off
@Taweret Standard feature of summonings
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! The bone squad on deck.
#Monsterdon
I too afford my enemies the respect of completing their rituals to summon unstoppable monsters when I could simply cut them down where they stand. It's just sportsmanlike!
#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963
yayy! Skeletons!
Uh, Dude! Why would you wait for the guy to toss the teeth around?!
where did the skeletons get swords
@LuluHelle yeah seriously
They really should revisit the idea of leaving the fleece, taking the flower, and starting a biotech company
Care for a Jelly Baby?
Too good. Just too good!
#monsterdon here we fuckin gooooooooo
I don't know what spell he is casting, but let's all stand here slack-jawed and find out!
#monsterdon
That flower did a better job healing than the fleece
#monsterdon
When you go to the hospital and their is just a room with a golden fleece in it..
"It's true, it does have the power to heal. And it's not bad at a make-up redo either!"
It's not golden or fleece, it's just tinsel.
a warm blanket WILL do wonders, that much is true.
That was almost a Wilhelm scream. #Monsterdon
FLAMEZES!
I miss shag carpeting
jesus christ you can't just cut music and arrow the savior woman in the back what is wrong with you #monsterdon
The Golden Fleece looks to me like a great big tangle of Christmas tree tinsel.
Taking out the traitor first....
If the hydra's teeth are so dangerous how are you handling them with your bare hands? #monsterdon
In mythology the hydra was slain by the hero Bellerophon while riding Pegasus by stuffing a molton lump of lead down its throat.
It is little known fact that all metaphorical hydras can be slain this way as well.
well, I see _some_ screenwriter read The Lord of the Rings
Secret Society of Silly Hats #Monsterdon
Hecate's ultimate rains fire from the sky only to set the hydra on fire huh
kinda underwhelming
They cut Jason fighting Cerberus, the 3 headed dog, from the film for budget reasons.
#monsterdon the children of the niiiight! What beautiful fleeces they make
Oh cheese and rice, that IS a cunning hat!
(I am slowly falling further and further behind everyone else as the Tubi ads roll.)
the children of the day-for-night!!!
It's around about now that we all realize that the fleece would be much more useful in its original live flying giant riding ram aspect. #Monsterdon #JasonandtheArgonauts1963
Oooo....hydra. Those are a real thing. They're little microscopic critters that are immortal. I don't think they hiss like that tho. #monsterdon
Oh Medea loves Jason, huh? Makes sense. He's the hero and she's known him for two whole days. #Monsterdon
Why does old man tighty whitey have a tunic on?
A hydra killed WITHOUT FIRE? The heck? What kinda myth is this?
#Monsterdon #JasonandtheArgonauts
Best delayed death ever
Jason, what've I told you? ALWAYS DOUBLE STAB
Thatβs the way to kill a hydra. Donβt bother with its heads. Go straight for its heart.
#monsterdon
Jason, when I said you needed to keep hydrated I didn't mean.. Oh never mind..
Jason, stawp, you're embarassing yourself.
Jason will connect in a second
#Monsterdon
The fleece, "would you like to live deliciously?"
The hydra, "hisss hisss hisss hisssss hiss hisssss"
#Monsterdon #JasonandtheArgonauts
oh I LOVE the hydra POV panning shot, so cool
lol, so that's where Acrastas is....
@moira I mean, really. Itβs just asking to be stolen.
Hydra just want friend
