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

#Monsterdon

Blood for the blood rust!

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

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

Herbie the Love Bug cameo?
#Monsterdon #XFromOuterSpace

I ship them. (get it?)

#monsterdon #wrongX

Wow that space Hot Pocket must be a thousand degrees it's glowing so bright.
#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

#monsterdon There we go. It wasn't good, it wasn't bad. It was sufficiently gloopy. Thank you @Taweret!

@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

@allanb Time for some psilocybin and music therapy to get these people in the MOOD.

#monsterdon
#spacemasterX7

Okay, before you disembark from the movie, it's time for the question!

Was SPACE MASTER X-7 (1958) the worst #Monsterdon movie ever?

#monsterdon

awrite, time for https://miru.miyaku.media/ to show us if "The X From Outer Space" does any better...

@nhgeek
Hey, this is a serious, hard science production meant to educate the population about the dangers of contamination, and difficulties in contact tracing, buddy, not some tawdry alien monster slime movie!

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

Wha? It was just getting interesting, and Boom – Sudden Ending.

Typical.

#Monsterdon

That is not an ending.

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

Burn all the brunettes

#monsterdon #spacemasterx7

WAIT

WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL THE PEOPLE

ARE THEY JUST... OKAY!?

#monsterdon

"I've had it with this mother fucking fungus on this......" #monsterdon

uh, wait, is that the end??? um...

#monsterdon

will those people ever been seen alive again?

#monsterdon

Sorry, we'll have to burn you all

#monsterdon

There was barely any monster in this movie. Did they run out of money? #monsterdon

"*burble gloop*

Okay, who DIDN'T have the fish? #Monsterdon

He'll be waiting at Oxnard to give you

A HELPING HAND #Monsterdon

Just ask if they were exposed to a contaminated lab specimen, you jackass

#monsterdon

This movie's Aesop of "never run away from the authorities because they always have you and everyone else's best interests in mind" is perhaps not particularly' prescient.

#monsterdon

"Get this ship turned around!"

Nyes sir it's a plane, sir, nyokey #Monsterdon

there! see! wasn't that easy! (-_-)

#monsterdon

@CactuarJoe

GOoFI!

#Monsterdon

Hello police. Yes there's a man taking women to the back of the plane one-by-one. #monsterdon

#monsterdon

@sean Surely this is the funniest post of the night!
#monsterdon

#monsterdon Do we have a lounge? Or just a parlor with a strange unusual echo…

Two Black dudes talking 'Jive' in the background....

#monsterdon

@yatsu If some guy showed me a card with "Office of Internal Security" on it, I'd say we needed to wait until we land and I can call my lawyer. LOL I love how he's suspicious of the wrong one! HAHAHA #Monsterdon #SpaceMonsterX7

Suitcases the world over are in grave danger #monsterdon

While Army Man interviews every brunette on the plane throughout the several hour long plane flight. A different phone man calls him for an update, and he indicates that he's suspicious of the wrong brunette passenger, who he goes to bully her asking for more identification.

Meanwhile, in the cargo compartment Typhoid Laura's luggage starts turning into an oozing space monster.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

On the airplane Army Man is interviewing the brunette passengers one by one and he drops the explanation of "she's a Typhoid Mary" to the pilot, which is the analogy I was using. Laura overhears this and is briefly worried that she might be putting people at risk.

Then she gets interviewed but continues to be mildly evasive. Army checks her coat but does not seem to identify her. Army guy makes a pass at her and lets her go easily, because mistakes I guess.

#monsterdon

So, Ratboy is just going to Hawaii? That's the plan?

#monsterdon

Not sure why they wouldn't just radio the plane to turn around.

#Monsterdon

The only reason I'm still watching is because this is the one where there's a lounge on the back of the plane.

THERE IS A LOUNGE, IN THE PLANE.
Can you even fathom?
#monsterdon terdon

that really was a different era of plane travel...

#monsterdon

More than halfway through and I don't care about any of these characters

#monsterdon

Fair play to this lady for avoiding the cops though, she's got some game...

#monsterdon

Laura Greeling is loaded. She was doing some serious online –on phone line – ordering before it was a thing.

#Monsterdon

woman's making good use of door dash, that's for sure.

#monsterdon

Cunningly, she will dye her hair and grow a beard....

#monsterdon

@paco what a bizarre sign, lol #monsterdon

he liked her tits. He is a heterosexual everyone!

#monsterdon

That poor, uh, I'm gonna say omelette? Get a light rig, guys. #Monsterdon

It feels a bit late for a biohazard suit to show up, but sure.

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

"Mister Hand? I'm Deputy Finger!" #Monsterdon

I miss those old bubble copters

#monsterdon

StairMaster X-7

#spacemasterx7 #monsterdon

I've been watching a lot of Hammer horror movies lately, so the lack of lesbian vampire boobs is throwing me off

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Newspaper Headline: “SPACE FUNGUS CARRIED BY WOMAN WHO DIDN'T FETCH THE COFFEE!!!”

automatically on the woman's side in getting away from the police even though she's got the alien virus....fuck the Patriarchy

#monsterdon

Spacemaster X-7: The Audio Adventure

When you hear the sound, turn the page.

#Monsterdon

It's interesting how this movie takes the perspective of the feds trying to investigate this problem and portrays them as well-intentioned.

I think most modern media would portrays the government agents as more ominous (unless it's a police procedural).

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon🍄 🍄‍🟫 🚀 👽 😱

i guess they used to have baggage clerks

Sterilize Moe
#monsterdon

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Did anyone want to even talk about quarantine procedures… at all. I mean, even a little bit? Maybe even a game, wrap Yahtzee around it maybe? For kicks?

A much more evident human story to this one. Certainly less aspirational or heroic than others I've seen from the fifties. As much as I like Frees and his voice, his demise seems right. The monster fungus unleashed by him some terrible metaphor for the psychic damage he's caused. #Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

Aw yeah, let's hear it for alien fungus! #Monsterdon

Yeah in a Perry Mason episode that would've been murder and she'd be talking to Paul Drake right now. #Monsterdon

How can he be as narrow as a razor AND have a yard wide cruel streak?

Metaphors aren’t for everyone.

#Monsterdon

Because it feeds on grumpiness, the tiny spores Mustache Scientist has brought back to earth has swollen into a giant goopy orb that he tells the audience is a brain and also will emit spores everywhere that will eventually eat whatever they settle on.

#monsterdon

@MatthewTitus88 omg... y'all are gonna be wasted! LOL #Monsterdon

"My experiment is successful. There is life in outer space."

Sure, carry on, nothing to discuss here

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

Watching this home lab vs what goes on with the actual samples NASA, JAXA, etc have brought back sure is something

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

Why is the canister retrieval set to the soundtrack from Leave it to Beaver? #Monsterdon

Credits trying to escape from this movie

#monsterdon

Whoops, credits running away from us. We're scary, y'know. #Monsterdon

Alright kids, this is what the past thought would happen. For reals, like, I guess. #Monsterdon

#miru #monsterdon #thexfromouterspace

@moira #monsterdon #wrongX

heyyy! another sumo fan!! great end to the tourney, huh?

See, I kinda wanted to see the Oxnard Space Fungus go on a rampage like this....

#monsterdon #wrongX

meanwhile, back in Cardboardia

#monsterdon #WrongSpaceMaster

If they had some space fungus, i bet they could patch up that hole in their spaceship.

#monsterdon #wrongX

The joys of explosive decompression.
