Good thing spores don’t, idk, float on the wind or anything.

#Monsterdon

just set fire to the place and drive away

#monsterdon

Then they burned down the building, effectively containing the pathogen, listened to the tape and decided never to replicate his experiments. The end, thanks for watching everyone #monsterdon

Mmmm, fungi fritti!

#monsterdon

1950s biolab security seems a bit primitive
#monsterdon

Yeah, that tape is definitely not at all contaminated

Also, what the heck? Why are these two yahoos the only ones making decisions around here? And who’s going to tell the fire department?

#Monsterdon

Remember kids, don't mess with ganglions from space.
#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX-7

oh boy, casual arson
#monsterdon

Hey, they brought gas! How thoughtful.

#Monsterdon

Perhaps he should have considered following any safety protocols at all.

#monsterdon

SPORES IN YOUR LUNGS

SPORES IN YOUR LUNGS

#Monsterdon

@bunnyhero no rust! C! #monsterdon

Haha, the gloopy sounds effects!!!

#Monsterdon

Turns out growing space fungus at home has drawbacks!

#monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX-7

@Terencio

... with a Buick

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

They stole the music from another set of movies and just placed it in here randomly.

What I say to every Uber driver when I hand them a twenty

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

cannot get how this exobiology lab is unlike any other......it's just his house, isn't it?

#monsterdon

I'm sorry I assaulted you
#monsterdon

Sexual assault doc? This is really a 50's movie
#monsterdon
#spacemasterx7

i'm not sorry you hit him. shouldda hit him harder.

#monsterdon

don't apologize for defending yourself!

#monsterdon

"I'm sorry I hit you."

We're not!

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

Honey, you don't need to talk to him again, just leave.

#monsterdon #spacemasterx7

I was not expecting onscreen attempted sexual assault. Ugh. This guy had better not be the "hero"

#Monsterdon

lol, this whole other plot about his ex-wife and child better be going somewhere....

#monsterdon

If the side plot to this is a 50's custody battle I stg

#Monsterdon

Doctor is absolutely a weapons-grade piece of shit, and I look forward to his consumption by brain-fungus

#monsterdon #spacemasterx7

@klu9 he is! #monsterdon

Good on her
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon not cool dude

Can this scientist guy DIE ALREADY!?!??!

#monsterdon

@Lazarou

I wonder if he's her first husband

#MOnsterdon

Pulsating blob in giant jar!! OMG!! This is bio porn for certain people...I am led to believe.

#Monsterdon 🍄 #SpaceMasterX7

The pointless Bunsen burner going on his bench is really bothering me. Poor fire safety is the real monster in this movie. #Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

#monsterdon
"will proceed to devour it"
yeah. Nothing bad is going to happen here!

At the rate that thing is growing, you might want to find a bigger jar before you keep making voice notes

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

She needs to use the reswtroom
#monsterdon

make the ganglia twitch!

#monsterdon

Ganglion, and not hyphae. Okay.

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

absolutely no theological, political, or economic consequences to life throughout the universe being so abundant it's on the first planet we checked. just let this one guy with his home lab handle it. #monsterdon

Master degree man drives an uber in the military. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX-7

#monsterdon I wonder what the space fungus is up to

...Why does this laboratory have machines that sound like a child tooting on a slide whistle??

#monsterdon

This is wild.

Even the characters in this flick are basically narrators.

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

a casual..
"I've discovered life in outer space"

"can i see it?"

"NO!"

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

Frees' exposition is reminding me of the educational shorts Disney put out, along with some of their rivals at the time. Likely a key early contributor to my interest in science and technology from a early age. Even my first introduction to movies like this one, earliest memory being of Them when I must have been six or seven. #Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

Have they tried putting moss in space yet? I hear that's a fun idea

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

All you people quit trying to get into my house!!!

#Monsterdon 🍄 #SpaceMasterX7

Yeah, TALK to the Hand! #Monsterdon

man put the world killing fungus in a secondary containment enclosure or something. at least close the door so there are fewer people barging into the world killing fungus room #monsterdon

I have never been so tense while watching someone put samples on a microscope slide.
#monsterdon

boy too bad you didn't wear literally any protective equipment while handling the deadly fungus

#monsterdon

Go on and handle the rare outer space sample with no PPE at all. #Monsterdon

Wow, he's a Fun Guy.

#monsterdon #spacemasterx7

Bring back dictaphones!

#Monsterdon

This is a cool thing to do in your house, doc. #monsterdon

That IS a special canister. It has a threadless screw on wooden top.

Most special.

#Monsterdon

It has long been known...
#monsterdon

#monsterdon goddamn woman!

Nice bio-containment procedures there Doc Palmer.

#Monsterdon

This movie forces me to ask the fundamental question of all narratives:

Who are these people, and why do we care?
#monsterdon

@nhgeek in the days before clean _anything_

is the man even going to wash his fucking hands?

#monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

ratigan

#monsterdon

THRILL! To the riveting SLIDE PREPARATION SEQUENCE!

#monsterdon

@Lazarou jinx!
#monsterdon

In the days before clean rooms, I guess #monsterdon

"While we bicker, FUNGI ARE GROWING!"

#monsterdon

"people adopt children"

usually they talk about it first? what is going on right now???

#monsterdon

Big "A woman's place is in the home" vibe here....

#monsterdon

@floatybirb I know why they used a monkey ...

#Monsterdon🍄 🍄‍🟫 🚀 👽 😱

casual sexism ✅

but also a very nice coat

Wasn't really expecting to be on Team Slime tonight but hmm it could happen

#Monsterdon

This was the space outhouse that the astronauts would use in space.
#monsterdon

Righto, Space Master X-7 (1958). So far, we've got totally redundant narration and period sexism.🧵

#Monsterdon

Is his private laboratory? In his home?

#monsterdon #SpaceMasterX-7

He has a boar brush hat. Clearly the foreigner in this film.

#monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

#monsterdon Make the drinks woman, or I'll make you FETCH THE FXXKING COFFEE WENCH!

✅ Potentially lethal alien samples
✅ Scientist able to take them immediately to home lab

#Monsterdon 🍄 #SpaceMasterX7

a mysterious woman!

#monsterdon

I love the feather in his cap!

#monsterdon

Sure they give the Private who drove him a name, but not the monkey. Typical.

#monsterdon

WHY WAS THERE NO LID ON THE CANISTER UNTIL AFTER THAT IDIOT PUT HIS HAND IN IT‽ #Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

Well, taking that's a B&W movie, if they are green little man or not doesn't matter
#monsterdon

You can tell a good movie when the narrator is the most important role
#monsterdon

This movie is so strange as to be beyond anything you can imagine

(well I hope so, it's got some work to do though)

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

That fake mustache doesn't do it for me
#monsterdon

There's a weird lack of excitement about potential new discoveries among these scientists. I think they're not scientists at all. I think they might be... paid actors!

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

Cue the whacky radar music. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon🍄 🍄‍🟫 🚀 👽 😱

that monkey better be ok

Chekov's Microbe

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Beeping and blinking! It's all just beeping and blinking I can't take it! Ahhhhhh!

so many beeps and boops in the background
#monsterdon

There's a whole lot of Brylcreem in this movie #monsterdon

HI PAUL! There's something furry eating your upper lip. #Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

Adding to my Linked In how my degree was from One Of The Many Great Universities Of The Country

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

These are the men who put the mix-master into orbit...

What, no, that's what it says...

Oh, alright, let's do it again.

#monsterdon

attached to the project with super glue.

Formerly, until he was found with that naked co-ed
