He passes Sam Casey driving the other way with a truck full of tripolidine

#Monsterdon

so we took the time to put on two "i'm better than you" rings, but we apparently don't own a shirt. noted. #monsterdon

D2 says his hero’s journey is to find a shirt #Monsterdon

This is my song! #Monsterdon #laserblast

I thought this was going to be a woman moving out of her lover's house but it turned out to be a super awkward mother/son situation and it feels a bit incestuous. I never would have felt comfortable talking to my mother in so little attire, at least.

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

So I guess this guy is gonna be shirtless for the whole movie then huh
#monsterdon

So what's in Acapulco?
#Monsterdon

Ok, that was the weirdest and disturbing mom/son interaction ever.

#monsterdon

Wow this is the most exciting nothing I've seen since last Sunday

#Monsterdon

This is like The Van but without Danny Devito, charm, or acting talent.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon definitely Oedipal around these parts, huh?

Shazam says this van-accompanying music is "Billy's Radio #1"

#Monsterdon

Just cruisin' around in the van, who needs a shirt?

#monsterdon

Meanwhile on that road you've seen before in film...

#monsterdon

Our protagonist needs to put a shirt on. *Real* bad.

#Monsterdon

He still live at home? #monsterdon

If they'd just stop asking her to go to Acapulco... #Monsterdon #laserblast

#monsterdon I kinda love the Claylians.

@hollie She's also Stacy's mom #monsterdon

One of the most confusing conversations in history. #monsterdon

@CoachJZ A strong start

#Monsterdon

the lady in the white pants. Is the guy her boy toy or something? I mean, he's looking at her butt.

OH GOD NO SHE'S HIS MOM
#monsterdon

Wait, he's her son?!?!?

There is no age difference between these two people. Or if there is it's like 5 years...

#Monsterdon

I can't tell if this is too ambitious or not near ambitoius enough. #monsterdon

There's a lot to unpack there.
#monsterdon

What the actual fuck was that interaction where he squatted down, and then slowly stood up. I thought this was about to be a sexual tension scene, and then he called her "mom."

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

she's kinda right. that's poignant. #monsterdon

Those shorts are…underwear?

#Monsterdon #Laserblast1978

"how many times you wanna go to alcapoco?"
at least once more. #monsterdon

Dialogue? What's that? #monsterdon #laserblast

Our "teen" protagonist is here.

#Monsterdon

Oh. That’s his mom? Awkward. #Monsterdon

@wohali Ideally you would change out of the boxers you were sleeping in.

#Monsterdon

Saddest line in the movie.

#monsterdon

Boy this is awkward. I wish I knew why

#monsterdon
#Laserblast

oh, are we *starting* with "it was just a dream"?

#monsterdon

Did he just try to mark his territory on that suitcase?

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon he could have gone commando. It would have slightly changed the audience. Slightly.

I guess that's Kim MILF-ord. #Monsterdon

lady, put him in a suitcase, carefully load him into the car, and then drive away. #monsterdon

She turns around like OH GOD I FORGOT D:

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon did he just teabag her suitcase?

ominous squatting, check. #monsterdon

alien gangstas be COLD yo #Monsterdon

oh, smile NOW, eh?

#monsterdon

Should I just pre-check "Main Character is a Douche" on the bingo card

#Monsterdon

@s20 Is this what "rawdogging" is?

#monsterdon #laserblast

Klaus Kinski's less talented, science-fiction oriented cousin.

#Monsterdon

And so, Jordan Peterson found a career.

#monsterdon

Chekhov sprinkler. #Monsterdon

Aww they're cute #Monsterdon #LaserBlast

We can't get away from seeing nipples can we? #Monsterdon #laserblast

"Absolutely nothing is going on!" "It's cinema verete, shut up!"

#monsterdon #laserblast

The claymation is pretty adorable. Green face guy looks like he's been riding in Trent Reznor's Volvo of Despair, tho. #monsterdon

@jsadow I'm already not feeling great, so maybe confusion would be an improvement?

#Monsterdon

Oh, the movie was all a dream

#Monsterdon

Is there any more footage of this man writhing in fabric? #monsterdon

Not even a fresh pair of skivvies>? EW

#Monsterdon

The location department seems to have been a fan of Star Trek, and the costume department appears to have raided the old Star Trek costume closet.

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

Muscle man vs. E.T. #monsterdon

Something about how he put on those pants bugs me...

#monsterdon

@hollie Chalk it up to fashion #monsterdon

That ship is not horrible. #Monsterdon

Dude falls out of bed—
I’ve never heard an airplane before!

The 70s.

The wedgie decade.

#monsterdon

"...you look like you just rolled out of bed"
"well..."

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

Woik wark erararra! (Let's go get slugs from a takeout.) #monsterdon #laserblast

Nice pew-pews
#monsterdon

This aliens give me some tortoise vibes, if they slimmed down and turned their shells into butt helmets.

#Monsterdon #Laserblast1978

#monsterdon

My partner: It's weird watching this with no one talkng over it.

Well, that's the title: There were lasers and they blasted. #monsterdon

Not even 5 minutes in and we're already blasting. This one doesn't lie. #Monsterdon #laserblast

#Monsterdon dream? or premonition...

what are we, Brazil?

Lizzard people 1
Space zombies 0

#monsterdon #Laserblast #mst3k

I thin what they’re saying is “I’m gonna beat that rabbit”. #Monsterdon

@SRLevine strike that: zero words spoken by *humans*

#Monsterdon

Wow the alien blue screening isn't terrible actually.

#Monsterdon

Oh no, Coleman Francis! They've wandered into The Beast of Yucca Flats!

#Monsterdon

They're right in front of you and you can barely hit them once. Stormtrooper material.

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

what is this, a crop circle for ANTS?!

#monsterdon #laserblast

@SRLevine I don't think you'll be able to understand the rest of the film.

#Monsterdon

@SRLevine There have been zero words spoken in this movie so far

Much pew-pewing though

#Monsterdon

I'm going to be in and out as my youngest has just asked for a ride downtown. #Monsterdon

that time Beeluxgr got his hand stuck in the vacuum cleaner on that weird monkey planet #Monsterdon

@wohali Does that count as a title drop?

#monsterdon #laserblast

Well that was short. G'night everybody! #Monsterdon #Laserblast

Honk. Honk! Beep. Meow

#Monsterdon

The credits start with slow piano music and no visuals because this is going to be an intelligent and thoughtful film.

I'm sure.

#Monsterdon

well, that was a short movie
rip that guy
#monsterdon

E.T. phonin' hard! #monsterdon

This movie version of the Megaman franchise sucks.

#monsterdon

*aggressively synthy opening music* #monsterdon

No notes so far
#monsterdon

Dead guy's blaster weapon sounds like it emits gentle puffs of air #monsterdon

Ray? Ray Harryhausen is that you?

#monsterdon

Dude doesn’t look too good. Is that the mask?

#Monsterdon #Laserblast1978

This is when young ET gets off the ship and is left behind. #Monsterdon

@srol you stole the joke about MY MOM!!!!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon i love when laserblast yells "laserblast" and blasts his laser all over the place

Yay! We get claymation in the opening shots. I hope it sticks around for the whole movie 🤩

#monsterdon #Laserblast #mst3k

WE HAVE LASERS
WE HAVE BLASTING

#monsterdon
