Women, always knocking on the window while you're trying to casually handle your biohazards, amirite?

#Monsterdon

Is this movie gonna end with a Martian loaf of bread? #Monsterdon

lol, love how unprofessional this exobiology lab is.

Also, how angry the Dr was to announce the Earth shattering discovery of extra-terrestrial life.

#monsterdon

🍄 TURN DOWN YOUR LIGHTS 🍄

(where applicable)

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon They should have at least given us a final shot of guys in hazmat suits piling up the luggage and burning it.

I'm about 20 minutes behind the crowd now, and I seem to have stumbled into "Zero Hour" (1957), the movie that "Airplane" was based on.

I expect we'll wander into the "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" episode of "Twilight Zone" next.

#monsterdon #spacemasterX7

WAIT WHAT THAT'S THE END?!?

The plane lands without gear, the passengers are ushered to buses for decontamination, and our hero fungus presumably dies offscreen?!?

And the plane only half fucked off into the sea before turning back. Welp, that's a wreck! (Especially after a belly landing with no gear down.)

Thank you for organizing and hosting, @Taweret ! Nice classic abrupt ending there. Even expecting it I was taken aback this time!

#monsterdon

I'll say this, it was less an ending and more of a brick wall across the screen. #Monsterdon

I'm mostly annoyed at this movie for how most of the interesting stuff happened offscreen or seems to have been edited out.

Contrast with Them! or for that matter The Thing From Another World.

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

And now they need to burn a couple of buses to the ground. Which we are left to assume they did. Their person hunt over, we assume no further spread of the horrid blood rust. From space.

That was an interesting one. Fun to see how it could have inspired later science fiction or at least fueled tropes that would later inspire.

As predicted, short run-time helped me reach the end credits. #Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

Honestly I was pretty sure I was doomed when I saw "Astronaut" in the lower left corner.

#monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

You can't end your film like THAT, what are you

okay fine, screw you too. I'm outta here. #Monsterdon

So I guess the plan is to bring the blood rust back to the continent instead of isolating it on an island huh

#Monsterdon

They're in the lounge, of a plane.
A plane lounge, in the air.
A space which was not just more seats.
I will not be silenced. This is what they took from us.
#Monsterdon

"Office of Internal Security, what kind of fake DOGE shit is this?" #Monsterdon

imagine if Kate Winslet or Laurence Fishburne was in this movie, how much better it would be.

#monsterdon

MOMMY THIS FILM SUCKS I WANNA GO HOME #monsterdon

i'm really gonna have to watch Contagion after this.

#monsterdon

That lady staffing the airport check-in desk deserves an Oscar, that was _exactly_ the attitude of helpfulness and frustrated exasperation they always seem to manifest! Chilling accuracy.

#monsterdon

Mm, ham sammich-oh. Never mind. #Monsterdon

missed a prime chance to fade the sketch directly into her face there.

#monsterdon

Rattigan's doing a fashion critique. #Monsterdon

@ricci #monsterdon

The fungus has turned them into SOVIET RUSSIANS!!!

Hand and Rattigan! Rattigan and Hand! They solve crimes! #Monsterdon

High-speed chase the speed of a low-speed chase

#Monsterdon

@SordidAmok It would be kind of nice to see some vampire boobs right now

#monsterdon

Having a little trouble following plot. Probably should have watched the first 6 movies…

Space Master
2 Space 2 Master
Space Master: Pluto Drift
Space & Master
Space Master Five
Space Master & The Furious
Space Master X-7

#monsterdon #spacemasterx7

POMMER, not Palmer, well, that's less handy

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

He's gonna nyuk nyuk all over this film #Monsterdon

Rolling into tonight's #Monsterdon late and without even watching the preview. But I now see that we have a fungus amungus. Also, this moustachioed scientist seems particularly peevish about discovering life from outer space.

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

Took a shower together, now they light each other's cigarettes :3 👀 #Monsterdon

“Rigorous”.

They had to clean their ears.

#Monsterdon

lo, obviously it's the woman's fault, that her creepy ex husband had an exobiology lab in his garage...

#monsterdon

Fuck around with space fungus, find out about space fungus

#monsterdon #spacemasterx7

Land line. Drink! #monsterdon

Okay, so we get some characters. There is a Mustache Scientist who wanted to put the microbe box on the rockets, and he has an ex-wife (Laura) who has remarried but not told her new husband (now on a business trip to Hawaii) about her mustachioed ex. She is trying to get her son back from the boarding school the scientist sent him too.

But Mustache Scientist will not have this and wants to try to hook up with her a precondition for negotiations, which she won't.

#monsterdon

Are we sure this isn't the first ten minutes of a Perry Mason episode? #Monsterdon

This guy now does sumo commentary for NHK World

#monsterdon #WrongSpaceMaster

The titular X is here! Guilala~~~
#Monsterdon #XFromOuterSpace

LOL, I was right. We are now in "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet"!

#monsterdon #spacemasterX7

@Violinknitter gotta up in the top ten for Abrupt Monsterdon Endings #monsterdon

grrr #monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

@diazona #monsterdon #wrongX

holy cow that was just the preview!

@Newpa_Hasai Look, sometimes you get to the end of a reel and just stop, okay? No distributor's gonna pay for a fourth reel with 30 seconds of film on it!

#monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

What's the big deal, break out the noodles and the cream of mushroom soup and get eating. #Monsterdon

"I wouldn't worry much about it ma'am. This fungus will probably kill us all in less than a week....." #monsterdon

Aliens always stashing their shrooms in satellites

#monsterdon #spacemasterx7

so weird watching people smoke on planes....

#monsterdon

Really my only problem with this scene is that it's hard to tell the dialogue from the plane noise -- drone on drone, man, it's all drone on drone #Monsterdon

Everyone on that plane is already fucked, they'll all be fungus....how hard can it be to find her anyway?

How big is this plane? Is there a bowling alley?

#monsterdon

Pretty believable kid babbling on the trans-oceanic plane #Monsterdon

"Would it be possible to clear the lounge? I'd like to speak to those ladies one by one."

A lounge! On a plane! Maaaaaaan, can you imagine? Last time I was on a plane I had to borrow room for my other knee.

#monsterdon

no, it's not necessary, i was just asking to ask, ya know. (-_-)

#monsterdon

@jonny the important lesson is "be sure to surrender to the authorities if they are trying to capture you for any reason, because you might be a passive carrier for deadly space fungal spores that will kill everyone" #monsterdon

lol, so now this is a plane disaster movie?

Fungus On A Plane?

#monsterdon

they just going to lock the Twink in there with fungus lady and the rest of the plane and let it go?

#monsterdon

If... If y'know what I mean 👀 #Monsterdon

see how all the men can't wait to snitch on her....

#monsterdon

HAND RACING #Monsterdon

I bet the cops don't have my nose on file

#monsterdon

So weird when they Los Angeles like that

#monsterdon

this guy's not describing our lady, he's just here to make his ideal woman from police fashion plates.

#monsterdon

these guys appreciating her clothes in a practiced manner. this movie could be a lot more interesting...

#monsterdon

Love that they're doing this highly dangerous thing in a freight yard in LA rather than a remote lab in the desert like in real life

#monsterdon

Hey Jerry stop joking around with that flame thrower

#monsterdon

#monsterdon what do they tell the kid? "I'm sorry, kid. Your unloving parents were both CONSUMED BY BLOOD RUST"

Even in 1958 LA traffic was so bad that people used helicopters to avoid it.
#monsterdon

"Under, Hand. Hand, Dunn. Under, Dunn. Hand, Dunn."

#monsterdon

THRILL as she DIALS A PHONE! #Monsterdon

Spock:🖖
Kirk: Why can’t you be more human?!

#spacemasterx7 #monsterdon

Phone Man and Army Man recover a tape of the scientists monologue, both to learn what happened and to ensure that this movie continues to be 25% monologue. (because the 50, it's one of those weird magnetic tapes that is not in a cassette).

Following the "dust off and nuke it from orbit" theory, but with conventional weapons, Phone Man and Army Man then opt to burn the house down, and their jeep, and are then thoroughly decontaminated in a Surprise Shower Scene.

#monsterdon

Holy moly - they're just going to burn the house? No gathering evidence or figuring out what's going on? Just a reel of tape?

#monsterdon

So, was professor cooking alien chili and the pot overflowed? I'm missing some context for the slime draping everything.
#Monsterdon

Ooo, shower scene! #Monsterdon

As scientists go, this guy's a fucking idiot. #monsterdon

lol, just walk right into the alien weirdness, breathe in it's spores...

#monsterdon

"You touch me again I'll kill you"
Funny, that's what the red slime in the other room just said too.

#Monsterdon

Oh, he's growing giant avocados. #Monsterdon

These people seem really annoyed to be learning that there is life in outer space

#Monsterdon

the security on stuff they bring down from space in the real world is a lot tighter than "I'm taking this home with me, bye"

#monsterdon

Doc Pommer seems like a bit of a dick.

#Monsterdon

What is this, a boarding school for TODDLERS?!

#monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7 #Bement #Eaglebrook

Reminds me of The Andromeda Strain, which is a very good sci fi movie....

#monsterdon

After a pleasantly whoosy credit scene, a man at a desk in Washington DC serves as our narrator and explains that this is the 1950s and we're doing a space race with the Soviets. I love a good Soviet-American space race and have been reading books and listening to a podcast about it, so good times for me I guess.

Anyway, this is 1958 and we learn that the titular "Space Master" is an orbital satellite and not a vacuum cleaner.

#monsterdon

NOBODY ASKED ABOUT YOUR THEORIES FOR THE X-FILES FINALE #Monsterdon

In order, we have Mr. Forehead, Mr. Ears, and Mr. Moustache #Monsterdon

Stock footage science shit, this is right up my alley, keep it comin movie

#Monsterdon

Is this guy supposed to be the Postmaster General or something? #Monsterdon

@klu9 @JoeWynne This monster is a Big Booty Judy if there's ever been one, okay?

#monsterdon #WrongSpaceMaster

Guilala is a stupid design but a perfectly fine kaiju design at the same time. It's alien and mildly complex. It just ends up looking like a fried chicken with a UFO for a head.
#Monsterdon #XFromOuterSpace

I wonder if each planet has its own style of music. Like when we get to Mars it'll be all Chicago Blues instead.

#monsterdon #wrongX

@trixter yes, and Bambi's mum is just 'resting' #monsterdon

@yatsu like a car accident....WHAM! "The End" #monsterdon

@floatybirb there was very little Space in that movie, I feel it was oversold #monsterdon

They thought it was the red slime menace that was the biggest threat but it turned out to be a small movie production budget that ultimately brought everything to a tragic end.

#Monsterdon

The fungus among us! Thanks @Taweret and all you lovely jokesters out there for another fun night of SciFi cheesiness. The worst part of any #Monsterdon ending is how I have to go back to my regular life of being a good lookin' brunette.

😮‍💨

#Monsterdon "fuck oxnard. if the fungus gets loose that's fine"

I would RIOT in the theater!

Thanks to @Taweret again for hosting this (well -- half a movie, let's be honest) and to the whole #Monsterdon gang.

Check out @miru's stream for some cool other film or something that I literally just saw on Rifftrax

@LingLass MVP of the movie #monsterdon

@ionchy this is what they took from us

#Monsterdon
