This is what all the servers in my garage look like.
Kinda hoping they see Sam's skull through the view port
After watching the radio guy get eaten we close the rocket door and go inside. We open the window and see a jello monster outside. Also, the creature touched the pilot, putting slime on his arm, so he takes off his suit. The girl puts some chemical on his arm. She speculates that the monster is like a giant amoeba, based on... um... fuck... I dunno. its a space amoeba I guess.
MONSTER CHOMP
Sam, you should have let them close the door instead of trying to take one last potshot with your ineffective freeze gun.
Oof, and then they just watched him being digested by the jellyfish?
THEY WATCHED HIM THROUGH THE DOOR THAT THEY LEFT OPENβ½β½
OK, leave these people on Mars, they're a danger to everyone around them.
Blorbfish eats the rocket...
On Mars, everyoneβs a red shirt.
MONSTER LOOM
Looking pretty Lovecraftian there, nicely done.
And our more bipedal three-eyed buddy is back too! Good, good.

You could have figured out if there was water and cities if you'd done an orbital survey
Nice eyeball, eyeball. #Monsterdon
Whoops, coffee's ready. #Monsterdon
"Once we abandoned Capitalism, we built glorious cities and homes for everyone!" - the Martians
Y'know, some people got headaches after using the Virtual Boy for as little as 15 minutes.
:/
I think the Mars scenes might look better if they didn't just use red but used some sort of alternate color palette. Maybe a red-green camera instead of just "everything is red."
But I do kind of like the red effect, because its weird and makes the planet look alien.
ah, pouring colored liquids into beakers, now that's Science.
Is it getting darker or are all the red pixels in my TV just tired? Or am I losing my ability to see red? #monsterdon
well, shit, the protagonists are in charge of the plot again
That counts as teamwork, right? #Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet
#monsterdon "Aim for the eyes, Sam!"
I wonder where he was aiming before.
Okay, so we farted around more in the spaceship and the girl was like "I'm scared is that because I'm a girl?" and Colonel Pilot is like "no boys can be scared too."
Then we go outside, wander in the redworld and find a giant alien monster, which we piss off by hitting it with a Machete. It looks like um... a conical tripod with a bat's face in its bottom. Anyway its mad at us, and we shoot it with our science gun but nothing happens.
Clearly it can only see redheads #Monsterdon
I would have said she was targeted by the plant for her red hair (since they made such a big deal out of it), but wasn't she wearing a helmet?
okay, fair is fair, if i saw that thing coming at me in a video game i would be backing up quite loudly.
never get caught in the jungles of Mars without your machete
Ooh are we about to meet a rat-crab-bat-spider monster?
I think we are!!
Aww lookit the little cutie
oh god, every time these two are on screen together i wanna curl into a ball and shut my eyes forever.
Did he say "jumpy" or "jump me"? >_> #Monsterdon
God I hate when streamers have an echo #Monsterdon
#monsterdon Wait, we just missed a line. There was a line where their lips moved but we didn't get to hear anything.
I wonder what he said.
Why is that plant growling like that, does the growling add to the trapping effect
More like, CineTragic.
"I know you think I acted like a hysterical female back there, but I can take care of myself. I won't get out of your sight."
"Have it your way, Irish."
*she immediately walks out of his sight*
welpΓ3
Iris does look good with black lipstick, tho #Monsterdon
i love how these "scientists" are completely uninterested in the alien plant life
...Is this the Cinemagic? #Monsterdon
Just get out of the spaceship already you losers. #monsterdon
gaslight the only female crewmember....
He refers repeatedly to "seeing" whatever she saw, but there will only be her relating it verbally π€
I want a #monsterdon movie where the science girl in the spaceship is a bug girl and is just like "woah cool bug! I wanna be its friend!" instead of screaming and passing out.
Which I think would be the more realistic scientist reaction rather than passing out when you see a weird thing.
SHE'S HEARING EVERYTHING YOU SAY
#monsterdon
is any of what they're about to do ethical?
the martian
@ramsey Turn up the volume⦠I want the Martians to hear my smooth-jazz vibraphone cover of Oh Canada
#monsterdon "Orbiting Mars!"
Orbiting? According to that screen you're spinning like a top!
That's not how orbiting works!
@athena_rising Theyβre being respectful while the Canadian national anthem plays.
Weβre so bored we had to play chess, in our commodious ship #Monsterdon
Crew of Doomed Rocketship:
Girl (main character) - named Iris but called Irish because she has red hair I guess.
Pilot (horny) - likes the Girl, Girl likes him back
Radio Officer (horny) - likes the Girl, Girl does not like him back. reads science fiction magazines in his spaceship.
Professor (smart) - plays chess
Okay, I was wrong about us immediately getting to Mars, it seems to take a while, so the professor guy has time to play chess in the control room. Also, the rocket has full gravity, presumably from constant 1G acceleration.
Also, the control room has a ladder to a pantry, where the girl and the guy she likes go, so they can discuss Mars as the Roman God of War while fondling the food cans.
#monsterdon Lot of room in this spaceship.
They don't build 'em like that anymore.
If they keep referring to Dr. Ryan as "the girl" I'm going to get a bit ticked off.
awww, flashback wavy lines!
I could never keep up with the hashtag feed. Now I can't keep up with my home feed either. #monsterdon
It landed all the way out in the Star Trek set, sir
We get a press montage where the newspapers were like "OMG Mars Rocket's gonna land! Is anyone alive on it?" and a TV broadcast that is "The rocket will land in Nebraska. here's a montage of the crew. It includes the professor and one girl."
I'm assuming the rocket will land in Nebraska because if it crashes its less likely to destroy anything interesting.
I think that's a B-36 with the 4 reverse props on it!
Launching my #monsterdon thread for "The Angry Red Planet", which I assume is about Mars being mad.
Monsterdon is the thing where we watch an old monster movie each week and make fun of it in 9999+ posts. Mute the hash tag if you don't want to see that many posts by me and others about it.
@moira I saw the first 15 and feel like I have little to no context. I think the scrolls would completely explain everything
I missed the start, but this was a far more entertaining movie than THE ANGRY RED PLANET
I'm watching the #WrongFrogs second showing on @miru but haven't had much to say about it, but I do like the Legally Distinct Godzilla Theme
@combatwombat
No no. Do not spoil her. I like her regal and in charge. She's our unofficial mascot, after all.
@combatwombat @diazona @SnoopJ @anarchademic "Ooo, scratched the paint. Insurance is gonna ding my ass for sure :/" #Monsterdon
There were only two women in this movie, and they were both redheads? This colorization is sooooo sus'.
GO NOW AND WARN MAN NOT TO RETURN UNBIDDEN.
And then Republicans killed the space program, and we all died in poverty. The end.
#monsterdon #angryredplanet
In the end, they only had Iris's word for what happened. There were no recordings of the giant space amoeba, or pictures, or anything. (We have pictures of Sam shagging his gun, but no pictures of woman-eating plants or space-ship sized amoebas).
What actually happened was she got tired of Sam shaving at his desk and kissing all the equipment. She got sick of the professor smoking at his desk.
So she knocked the one dude out and put some jello on his arm. Then she killed Sam and the Professor. She put them, the razor and beard clippings and pipe out the airlock.
Then she makes up some bullshit about a giant amoeba, and flies home with they guy who refused to say her name right. I mean, if those are your 3 choices, I think she picked the best of the 3?
i'm sorry for all the people who have issues with sound and stuff and couldn't deal with the red planet visuals but for me this was exactly the right kind of utterly terrible 1950s group watch fodder
great job voters, for real
@moira oh whoops I forgot about the prompt, I was thinking of the "where's devil girl" option
Though I'm sure Nyah has been called worse and has shrugged it off
#monsterdon Yeah, keep your "plotβ and your βcoffeeβ
@diazona my queen is not a space douche!
#monsterdon So, we're going to make cotton candy out of the maritian goop huh? Yummo!
@moira "The Pompous Red Planet" just didn't play as well to test audiences
Time for Wrong Frogs with... Ninja Monsters?

@_L1vY_ yeah if "angry" means "standoffish and weird"
@Louisa But when you're walkin' down that street and the amoeba's had you to eat
Ugh. That was horrible. But jazzy ending music. #Monsterdon
oh cool, the spaceship seats were designed by actual airforce contractors? lol
they looked wack as hell but better than the fuckin office chairs in some of the other movies π₯΄
#monsterdon
#Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet Final high score, sort of.
a little smooth jazz to soothe the mind. thank you @ryan (-_-)
@Crazypedia they did! Colonel Tom did I think #Monsterdon
i think they just figured "well nobody's left in the theatre at this point, may as well use my own jazz quartet for the end credits, get an IMDB listing"
#monsterdon What a great segue to John Carpenter's The Thing.
TLDR: Mars is sick of our shit and has put a restraining order out on us.
#Monsterdon
*sudden outbreak of jazz*
Ib Melchior & Sid Pink are such 50s Hollywood names
@amyfou I don't think we can argue with that assessment. #Monsterdon
After curing the guy of his amoeba off camera, we find the tape of the martians, where the Martian says "We have been studying you since forever, but we think you are a childish civilization because you war against each other, but don't come back here, because you don't want you touching your planet and if we come back we'll destroy your whole planet."
Then the title card drops.
Did anyone pass this along to Elon?
#Monsterdon
For many episodes have we viewed your "I Married Joan"
"We'll subject Tom to an electric shock, just short of being harmful."
"Well, no reason to hold back."
Women in STEM for the win!
