I guess this was before they invented focusing microscopes? #Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7
I didnβt know Paul Frees had a corporeal body
Rub it on your gums #monsterdon #spacemasterx7
Follows great lab protocols too.
Space fentanyl #monsterdon
That's what my bathwater looks like when I take off my glasses
@wohali "I'd like to show you slides of our last family vacation!"
The score is hard at work selling how important this Science is.
Wait... ain't that your kid too? #Monsterdon
Why does he start his audio logs like the beginning of Pride & Prejudice? #monsterdon
Enhance!
Now snort it! Get you high as balls probably #monsterdon #spacemasterx7
You may look on, and marvel. But I've had enough of your female voice.
I'm in the middle of an experiment.. does it involve fungus?
so wait.. her "little secret" that he kept is his son? How is this HER shameful secret yet not his? Jesus men in the 50s were just as bad as they are now.
Ah, science was more quaint back in the days of gentleman scientists with home labs.
#monsterdon
Space microbe handling procedures have come a long way since the early days
#monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7
Biological contamination? What's that?
#Monsterdonπ πβπ« π π½ π±
charles is a doofus
He seems nice.
A house without a woman is no place for a boy.
So I sent him somewhere with no women and lots of boys. #monsterdon
Wow the cuffs on Lauraβs coat are crazy!
bio safety level, schmio safety level #monsterdon
I bet the baby on the picture come with the frame.
#monsterdon #spacemasterX7
That mustache and voice probably got him alot of other people's wives in the 50s.
#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX-7
She hasnβt thought this though, has she?
I see now where Riddly Scott got that opening scene from where the Nostromo travels through space..
"why should I change?" asks the single man to a woman who dumped him and went on to marry happily...
#monsterdon
Who is going to win the staring contest?
#Monsterdon
Wait, he's upset that his former lover wants her son after he sent the kid away?
I really don't like this guy...
Andromeda strain from Mars!
Ok, I hate Dr. Mustache Man, heβs horrible
#Monsterdon i wonder what the space master is up to
Ah, the government scientist's home lab setup.
What's with all the "gold" horse sculptures everywhere?
#monsterdon This one should have been 'Dad' in a live-action adaptation of the Brak show.
while typing: holy shit that's NOT his wife he's ordering to make a martini as he takes off his coat? Woowwwww
Oh, Paul Frees! I knew I recognized that voice. Love it. If I drift off, I am going to have some odd dreams narrated by Frees, no doubt. Likely a melange of this fresh silliness with fond memories of his other work, especially his voice work for Disney. #Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7
Turning the portrait on end, because just like her, turn awkwardly, as if all good conversations are best done where βLoading In Rearβ sign is hung. #monsterdon
#monsterdon suspens! Haha
I suppose if you changed then you might not have such an eatable face and that would be no fun for us viewers
So, yeah, why should you change indeed

Paul Frees is a popular voice artist and does several announcements heard in this film, but he also makes a rare but significant appearance as Dr. Pommer!
(Frees' voice is used in Disney's Haunted Mansion in WDW.)
Domestic backstory! Countdown to contagion 3,2,1 #Monsterdon
I'm enjoying the stock footage with the upbeat music.
#Monsterdon
Dr. Pommer's got an Orson Welles kind of voice #monsterdon
Actually, most boarding schools are for boys. #monsterdon
What does the feather in his hat signal? I feel like this is 1950s hanky code. The style of hat, position color and type of feather.
Science lab! Unsecured flasks over heating elements!
The voice guy from old old Disney animation stuff.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Frees
#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX-7
So he has a home lab? Doesn't seem very secure for space stuff
#monsterdon
After listening to that guy talk to that woman, I need a shower.
I guess Ratingan has a little crush on the doc
#monsterdon
@JoeWynne But of course. I mean, what could go wrong? #Monsterdon
"The Scientist's complicated home life"
Wanted: middle aged white guys with big noses. Auditions: Wed. 4:30 P. #monsterdon
Moe Howard, as in the Three Stooges? #Monsterdon
You'd think he's rate something a bit better than a Private as a driver. #monsterdon
Not tonight Flannegan. Not tonight.
@Zerofactorial Does that mean space isn't pregnant?
Flufff brush in side of hat adds to his gravitas..
"Well, I've always kept your little secret, haven't I?"
"Look, just because I like cheese-flavoured popcorn..."
Frank Drake, who created the Drake equation, was 28 years old when this movie came out.
have a lab my dog, an evil lab, whatever, just don't open the space box in the parlor with the missus #monsterdon
Gratuitous b-roll from actual scientific endeavors, check.
Seriously? This movie isn't that long to begin with. Thankfully wasn't a lot of re-used footage. #Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7
They recovered the monkey alive. Good!
#monsterdon
I wonder if I'll see any Black people... πΏπ©πΎπ¨πΎπ§πΎ #Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7
"""work"""
#monsterdon
Is this his ex-wife?
#monsterdon @SpaceMasterX-7
Well at least the monkey did not die #monsterdon
Everyone taking notes? I have a feeling all of this will be important later.
#monsterdon He was approved to break quarantine and sleep with the canister. To do with it what only the most expensive ladies of the mid-afternoon could enjoy, stirrups, test tubes, bunsen burners, and mustache rides!
@cocaine_owlbear you know what they say, "Tell, don't show." oh, wait. #monsterdon
#Monsterdon brannigan? no hanky-panky tonight, i have a headache
Very well, come along-- but not RIGHT THIS INSTANT
#monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7
Sorry Ratigan no nookie for you tonight. #Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7
Scooping up microbes from space... did The Andromeda Strain just rip this off?
Trying to sample microbes from space? We'll just pack the container in open air with bare hands, I'm sure it's fine.
#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7
A Radigan spurned is worth two in the bush. #monsterdon
#Monsterdonπ πβπ« π π½ π±
I think the little monkey's little legs were moving I think he's fine
If your movie needs a narrator, you should rethink your narrative.
#monsterdon @SpaceMasterX-7
So the guy who's usually a voice actor is the only original footage here?
#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX-7
is this a movie, or a news reel?
This is the Andromeda Strain, circa 1958, isn't it?
"There were many machines going ping. And there were bleeps, and blips and dooweeps. There was science left and right. There was so much sciencing you little people wouldn't understand."
This movie could've been a radio drama.
Is he the voice of the old Submarine ride at Disneyland?
someone put a handle in this man's mouth i want to use his moustache to clean my grill #monsterdon
Hey that guy's voice! I have heard it dozens of times. But never seen his face before.
#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX-7
we forgot to check DoesTheMonkeyDie.com !!!
This guy's mustache is carrying the whole movie.
#Monsterdon science mansplainer that mansplains to other men
he's like the proto-sagan/de-grasse-tyson
"Oooooo can I come along to see what's on the slab!???"
He wanted his sample to put under the Christmas tree this year #monsterdon
"But in a form so strange as to be beyond anything YOU can imagineββ
I dunno, I can IMAGINE quite a bit!
Pretty sure Dr. Pommer has the most eatable face so far
That is a mustache Poirot could respect
