Space Master! Also the Space Doctor. #Monsterdon

it's up at the height the ISS is now

#monsterdon

Is that actual sounding ro ket footage (though slowed down)

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

Space Master was put right into the middle of the Van Allen belts

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

Did that man just mispronounce SAHviet? #monsterdon

Oh no, not only a narrator, but a breaking-the-fourth-wall narrator

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

Back in the day, all movies had to introduced by a dweeb

#Monsterdon

"for your safety it is important that you believe only the truth" jokes on you i love trash and informational poison #monsterdon

Oh my god we need a narrator telling us about why we are watching this movie, this is so good already

#Monsterdon

“The purpose of the movie you are about to see….”

There’s a PURPOSE to this movie??? I thought this was for fun???

#Monsterdon

Space Master, a division of Coleco, Inc.

#monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

JUST hit play and read someone else's comment about tea. Aaaaaaaand now I want tea. Maybe I can mobile order it... #monsterdon

🩸🍄🍄‍ TRIVIA MASTER X-7 🍄🍄‍🩸

Imagine going to the theater in 1958 to see a double feature of "Space Master X-7" and "The Fly," with Vincent Price. No time for snogging with your date.

(mycelial post for 🧵 )

#SpaceMasterX7

#monsterdon Yay! A propaganda fluffer! I love it!

Down and down, towards the center of the world. #Monsterdon

“A Regalscope Picture.” I raise my hands in anticipation, then lower them when I realize this film predates the invention of the CGI popcorn rollercoaster by 36 years.

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

"The purpose of the film you are about to see—”

Is pain. Abject, outright _pain_.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon🍄 🍄‍🟫 🚀 👽 😱

two thumbs up for the whooshing text credits

Yaaaay Paul Frees

#monsterdon

Oh my god it DOES have Moe Howard WHAT

#Monsterdon

Yes the Moe Howard is that Moe Howard #Monsterdon

Paul Frees in this was the voice of Boris Badenov in Rocky and Bullwinle! #TrueFacts #Monsterdon

ahhhh 1950's space sci-fi, now this is relevant to my interests #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Reading all your comments while not watching the movie. It's just delightful. Keep it up folks!

Guileguile is just trying to figure out where the immigration office is.

#monsterdon #wrongX

@ryan In general yeah more random kung fu flicks or things that won't be normal #Monsterdon fodder are good. But sometimes there's a gem in the rough! Or like tonight another kaiju flick to wait for the fucking off into the sea ending.

YEAH! FUCK you, Alaskan Way Viaduct! You were NEVER a good idea!

@diazona @klu9 those orbital diagrams are just decoration. rockets can fly in straight lines #monsterdon

is that the same diabolical chicken that stomped on his head, shat on his tie, and stole his fucking neck?!

#monsterdon #WrongSpaceMaster

huh, guess it's got xenomorph blood. that's good, right?

#monsterdon #WrongSpaceMaster #NotGood

thank god, we're back on the moon and can smoke like civilised people

#monsterdon #WrongSpaceMaster

@paco Look, pencil-neck, I don't tell you how to do _your_ job, you don't tell me

#monsterdon #WrongSpaceMaster

@moira @starkraving666 Yes, keeping #monsterdon for the double feature also helps collect the posts for https://monsterdon-replay.gerlach.dev, since it's only listening on that tag.

the good ship AABY

#monsterdon #WrongSpaceMaster

@OldRustBucket Moe alone made that movie worth watching! #Monsterdon

@starkraving666 I always use #monsterdon plus a second tag

monsterdon is expansive and encompasses many forms

#monsterdon #WrongSpaceMaster

dang, even mysteron hamburgers don't fuck around

#monsterdon #WrongSpaceMaster

immediately went from space fungus on #monsterdon to watching the expanse s1 season ender with the space fungus eating eros

What's that sound? I think they just left their turn signal on.
#Monsterdon #XFromOuterSpace

Wait, is that astronaut Wrong Darrin Stevens?

#monsterdon #WrongSpaceMaster

It's amusing to see the gaijin actors dubbed really horribly into Japanese.
#Monsterdon #XFromOuterSpace

Okay so I left to get a snack for myself and the cats, how did they get to a bar in space? Why did they pack an evening gown on a trip to planet X? Is the moon the most swinging place in the 70s?
#Monsterdon #XFromOuterSpace

this ship's gonna run into barbarella's going the other way

#monsterdon #WrongSpaceMaster

Sorry, #Monsterdon . Nap won.

Nap: *General Zod voice* I always win!

everything else aside, this really does invoke UFO's SHADO moonbase, just a lot bigger

#monsterdon #WrongSpaceMaster

@LingLass @josh0 So weird! I was waiting all that time for them to blow up the plane and then… nothing! #Monsterdon

@littlemiao @josh0 Nah. They let them all off the plane 🙄 #Monsterdon

@josh0 Did I miss them setting fire to the plane? I always look at my phone at the most inconvenient moments #Monsterdon

can't figure out if "NO STEP" on a vertical surface is saying "everything is horizontal from some point of view in space" or "we don't know what this is for"

#monsterdon #WrongSpaceMaster

@klu9 Y'know we've had #Monsterdon movies with giant eggs, giant fungi, giant lizards that probably taste like chicken, and I'm sure there was something that would qualify as giant cheese at some point 🤔

For those of you scrolling through your timeline, you're about to hit a big mass of Monsterdon postings about Space Master X-7 (1958).

Should you not wish to read through them, here's how to filter them out, at least on the web browser:
1) right click on the gears & open in a new tab
2) choose "Filters" then "Add New Filter"
3) give the filter a title, check all boxes under contexts, choose hide completely and put "#Monsterdon" in the keyword box.
4) Click on "Save New Filter"

... and you're done.

@RobynGoodfellow "The Magnetic Monster" at least had decent effects. X-7, not so much.

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

So! Another film successfully launched in this case _back_ into space, hopefully all spores dispersed. Great job, team, and thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting ^_^

#monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

Big thanks to @Taweret for the film tonight; the second unofficial feature looks like a better film, but I'm off to bed.

At least we had both smoking *and* coffee! And a monkey, semi-traumatized. A nice police procedural with a side of space fungus.

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

@kcarr2015 @hollie @diazona

And the baggage guy on the train

#Monsterdon

@kcarr2015 @hollie At least we were fortunate enough to get that

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

is krankor in this one? he's always good

#monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

@diazona 😂

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

My review on #letterboxd took this to task for excessive use of dull activity in what was supposed to be a weird science fictional tale. At least Mr. Voiceover quit after the first 20 minutes. One and a half stars https://letterboxd.com/anderson_petaq/film/space-master-x-7/ #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe Valid.

#monsterdon

@hollie yeah seriously!

They totally should have tried building a giant automatic cat feeder that drops a couple suitcases three times a day and it would probably chill there

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

Well, I have come to accept that there is no more movie, and in fact the thing Tubi switched to is a completely different film. (Also about mars, though.)

Have a great week everyone! Thank you @Taweret for hosting once again.

#monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

@hollie @diazona It just had a thing for a really nice carryon.

#monsterdon

I think the company that made this movie is mostly known for distributing anime. Like the theatrical movies of the original Gundam.
#Monsterdon #XFromOuterSpace

I don't have work in the morning, so I'm going to tune in to the double feature stream.

#monsterdon

Wait, did fire retardant used to kill plants in the 50s?

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

Wow, um... that's the end, huh? #Monsterdon

Ok.

Ah, and the #monsterdon
#spacemasterX7 ending reveals the origins of planes landing, putting citizens in busses and driving them off to unknown parts.

It was all in the script in 1958.

Nothing to see here, move along....

Is this movie also about a blonde lady's taint?
#Monsterdon #XFromOuterSpace

Sorry, that was *asshole* doc.

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

#monsterdon So far I like the Narrator better in the double feature, she seems like the type who would laugh and softly fake-punch you in the arm if you believed something other than only the truth. The theme song is kind of bangin' too.

@Newpa_Hasai I feel that

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

Technically, if the plane crashes and explodes, doesn't that solve the problem? #Monsterdon

No #monsterdon bingo for me tonight, #spacemasterX7 delivered entertainment expected of a B movie, but not much more.

@moira

sharply *PARTED* hair,
and I think Dr. Rapey definitely qualifies there

#monsterdon

betcha the foreign westerner is the real monster.

#monsterdon #wrongX

@plaidtron3000 your version too, huh? #monsterdon

@srol yeah, i was enjoying it up to a point. i liked the detective work angle. but yeah it didn't know how to end #monsterdon

Yes, because tightening the screws will keep it contained. #Monsterdon

I expected a sudden ending but... was there an ending?

#monsterdon

#monsterdon

Are there any beautiful brunettes in #Monsterdon ?

And while you're here for #Monsterdon, don't forget to check the #WorstMonsterdon hashtag and vote in the finals!

Who let a photographer all the way to the door of the plane? And why didn’t he have a functional flash? #Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

That was not the worst movie we’ve watched, and blessedly short.

That’s all I have to say about that.

#Monsterdon

Replaying the start: “it will tell you what you must know in order to survive” #Monsterdon

@plaidtron3000 I agree, that's what happens next! #Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

Toho made Godzilla.
Daiei made Gamera.
Toei made mostly Sentai and Kamen Rider but some movies.
And then there's whoever the heck made Guilala~
#Monsterdon #XFromOuterSpace

#Monsterdon ITS NOT A SHIP

The moral of the story is that everyone assumed the fungus was from outer space, but it was actually from the douchey Dr. Pommer so ordinary medical procedures are able to deal with it. I guess. #monsterdon

This 'point of no return' business is completely bogus in the absence of their establishing that there are things they can do in L.A. that they can't in Honolulu.

#Monsterdon
#SpaceMasterX7

#Monsterdon

"Try to keep the Blood Rust confined to the baggage compartment."

I'll get right on that by smoking a cigarette

And nairy a drop of coffee was consumed. No Bingo for me tonight :(

#monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

@APBBlue true dat

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

Everybody out of here? Out of the plane? #Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

Mill around standing during a belly landing is just the thing
#Monsterdon

Um, what happened?

#monsterdon
