"What did you make of Clive?" "Two lampshades, a wallet, and a lovely little handbag from his scrotum. Isn't it adorable?"

#monsterdon #TheAsphyx

Wait, wait, wait a minute. Is this a kissing book?

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx

omg Robert Powell???
#Monsterdon

And our first, very jarring American paste-in. The sitting room continues, talking about the upcoming marriage.

And, we're back with a British kiss.

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx1972

Ah the first extended scene, popping the cork on some champagne. They're getting married at once! This Saturday even.

#monsterdon

Stand on the rug, not ceremony! that's why we have it, for goodness sake!

#monsterdon #TheAsphyx

I hope they don't plan to introduce the movie staff as well.

#monsterdon

I'm not used to watching something with this many cravats but no Dracula.

#monsterdon #TheAsphyx

*banging two halves of a coconut together* #Monsterdon

No offense, but more grunge and less upper crust, please.

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx1972

I'd bet good money on Elizabeth being really happy she's in Switzerland by herself

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx "there's nothing to be nervous about! we're just going to this country house for the weekend to binge opium like normal couples"

1970’s fashion: top hat and tails

#theasphyx #monsterdon

So uh which one of these people is the still alive one that got pulled from under the car

#Monsterdon

The director is obsessed with this doppler effect. First we get 3 cuts of a police car nee-noo nee-noo with doppler. Then we go back in time and do it with a horse. Again, 3 cuts.

#monsterdon

Man the production quality on Downton Abbey is not as good as I remember. #monsterdon

The Asphyx is a Hallmark movie about a man who never cleans his lab getting the holiday spirit

#Monsterdon

"This man is still alive!"
*piano and orchestral opening theme *

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx in the past, we had different vehicles to die in

Aaand we're back in the 70s. The 1870s. #monsterdon

I always used to get a Maxine Julius at the mall back in college.

#monsterdon #TheAsphyx

"Ode to an abandoned pawn shop"

#Monsterdon

Bill McGuffie, is this your idea of creepy laboratory music? #monsterdon

Aww, what a cozy English flick we have chosen for tonight

#Monsterdon

"my God this man's still alive!"

Cut to the romance movie in the next auditorium over

#monsterdon #TheAsphyx

Horrible car wreck then opening credits with completely inappropriate music nice start to #Monsterdon tonight

what was the deal with that cold open #monsterdon

The whimsical Asphyx's Love Theme

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon #theasphyx And now for something completely different...

Spirit of the Dead

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx1972

is that a Harpsichord?

#monsterdon

@whiskeysailor 1:38:40 or thereabouts.

#monsterdon

Ah yes, this was before they invented seatbelts and airbags, so surviving a car crash was frankly astonishing.

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx

Meanwhile, on the Love Boat...

#Monsterdon

No, that's preposterous! No one was alive in England in 1972!

#monsterdon #TheAsphyx

The dreary look of a Monty Python sketch shot on location

#Monsterdon

Well he was alive until you yanked on his legs #monsterdon

#monsterdon Neenor neenor neenor! We're off! The Asphyx from 1972! Mute our hashtag or join along, free to watch on Tubi!

Nee-naw goin' loudly.

#monsterdon

Ah, that 70's English police siren. unfortunately, to ME, that means a Monty Python sketch is about to start. #Monsterdon

Grab your asphyxes! #monsterdon

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx it begins

WE GOT EVERYONE IS 12 YEARS OLD TODAY SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGN!!!

#monsterdon #TheAsphyx

What in the Beat Takeshi was that all about? #Monsterdon

Ah, it looks like the scheduled bingo card got kinda borked. Sorry about that!

#Monsterdon

@RachelThornSub Ah shoot ya beat me to him. But I knew the priest from Super Sentai stuffbeing a villain in Biomanngers.fandom.com/wiki/Hirohisa_Nakata
#Monsterdon #MonsterXStrikesBack

If only the UK prime minister brought a batch of deep fried mars bars. That would sort the kaiju out proper.
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon The priest of the shrine is played by Hirohisa NAKATA, who played the titular character in the Captain Ultra series.

Oh the shrine priest guy is... someone from old sentai. I think.
#Monsterdon #MonsterXStrikesBack

They hot boxed Guilala with nerve gas...
#Monsterdon #MonsterXStrikesBack

Does her boss have a Calamari Wrestler toy on his desk?
#Monsterdon #MonsterXStrikesBack

Oh that escalated uncomfortably.
#Monsterdon #MonsterXStrikesBack

#Monsterdon Yikes! No comment on the method Fake Merkel proposes.

I think I caught an STI watching that sleazing.
#Monsterdon

Don't be racist president Burger.
#Monsterdon #MonsterXStrikesBack

Not trap can catch Monster X. Is Guilala the freaking Road Runner?
#Monsterdon #MonsterXStrikesBack

#Monsterdon Officer TAKAMINE is played by Bin FURUYA, who was the guy inside the Ultramar suit in the original Ultraman series.

@jgamble TL;DR if I'm right, you didn't do anything wrong

#Monsterdon

@jgamble Here's what I *think* happened: there's a link you can use to generate a fresh bingo card, but then after that, the card you generate has its own link, and squares marked on that card are synced to and from the server, which is good for when you want to jump from one computer to another while in the middle of playing. Normally, the link shared here is the one to generate a fresh card, and in that case when you click the link you'll make a new card that only you have the URL for. But this time, I think the link that was shared is the one to an already-generated card. So when anyone checked off a square on that card, it was synced through the server to everyone else who had the card open.

#Monsterdon

Actor playing UK prime minister is not even trying on a British accent. He's straight up Sean Connerying it.
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon The last commenter is film critic Haruo MIZUNO, who made his last screen appearance in this film, and passed away one month before the film appeared in theaters. He was famous for saying things like, “Aren’t movies wonderful?” And “Wasn’t it great fun?”

@diazona lol it's such a crisp, clear print! it's true I was eating pie and washing dishes while "watching," but I was thoroughly entertained and sad to leave #monsterdon

Fetch boy. Oh no, no fetch! No fetch!
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon The next guy to comment on TV is Lily Frankie, an illustrator/actor/writer.

@diazona

#Monsterdon

It's my first time with a Bingo card. I assumed the person who generated it did the marking off of squares. Was I wrong?

Kaiju have the best theme music. I would love to stomp about with a score like that following me. Well apart from when sneaking of course.
#Monsterdon

Oh direct rip off Godzilla music now. Self Defence Force music but a few notes off.
#Monsterdon #MonsterXStrikesBack

#monsterdon Alert viewers will notice that Professor Sano is Captain Sano from the original movie.

@jgamble Most of us were playing the same card so you probably weren't the one who actually marked off the bingo

("Actor Hamming It Up" was the last square in that column to be checked off)

#Monsterdon

@Louisa were they literally scaring the life out of her? was that the plan?
#Monsterdon

Now we're interviewing... I'm gonna guess kaiju movie directors, maybe?
#Monsterdon #MonsterXStrikesBack

For those of you scrolling through your timeline, you're about to hit a big mass of Monsterdon postings about The Asphyx (1972) and the second, Wrong Frogs feature.

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.

Oh hey Hurricane Ryu is in the Guilala suit. He was the suit actor for monsters in some Godzilla movies, and a manga artist, and a bunch of other odd jobs.That guy always seemed like a character.

#Monsterdon #MonsterXStrikesBack

@ramsey @Taweret @cherizilla @JoeWynne @ryan I do not regret voting for it #monsterdon

I didn't realize you all were all in for the double feature, so I closed the tab. Not sure I could've endured it anyway.

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx

Huh, I didn't notice I'd gotten a Bingo. Probably because I wasn't expecting Ceremony to get filled.

#Monsterdon

So far no one is voting to get ass-phyxed. I can’t imagine why! #Monsterdon

@jonny @Taweret @SnoopJ Maybe the asphyx dances because it just can't help it #monsterdon

This might be the movie with the most languages Monsterdon has seen. Definitely the most languages with more than a single line of 6+ languages.
#Monsterdon #MonsterXStrikesBack

i need to clip this entire g8 meeting scene i am fuckin losing it #monsterdon

I’m not going to pretend I understood the ending with the car crash. #Monsterdon

Anyway that's another movie launched into space, too bad the guinea pig will keep living without air and food and let me tell you do you have any idea how hungry you get when you can't die? Regardless, it's not our problem anymore. Good job, team, and thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting!

#monsterdon #theasphyx

His son dies and he wants immortality. His daughter dies and continued existence is unbearable. What's up with that?

#Monsterdon

Oh, and hanging with an extra leg tug. Almost forgot that one.

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx1972

“my eternal and everlasting friend” - at least the guinea pig gets the acknowledgment it deserves #Monsterdon

WHAT IS #MONSTERDON ?

We just don't know.

Oh there's a guy! The white haired general guy is the original Ultraman
https://ultra.fandom.com/wiki/Susumu_Kurobe
#Monsterdon #MonsterXStrikesBack

Still gave it a higher rating than any recent #monsterdon movie I've seen as far back as The Creature from the Black Lagoon last summer

Stock footage! Well this movie has a super tight budget. Monster X will not have any new footage destroying buildings I bet.
#Monsterdon #MonsterXStrikesBack

@nazokiyoubinbou

So, if the guinea pig gets run over by a car, does it get physically smooshed and then reconstitute itself? Or does it become a rodent-of-steel speed bump that the car bounces over? I have questions! What if a cat eats it? Does the cat poop it out whole and alive?

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx

Ah, I get it! That's for the sequel!

@YsengrinWolf he didnt get the "death becomes her" warning obvs #theasphyx #monsterdon

Thank you to @Taweret for hosting and @cherizilla for the bingo card!

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx

@Taweret @jonny @SnoopJ And if I were to witness it voguing while emitting horrible sounds I would prefer to be left out of any experiments #monsterdon

After an hour and a half focused on #Monsterdon #TheAsphyx I was kinda hoping to tune back into the TL and see some good obituary news, but alas 🤷‍♂️

More sour-grapes trying to console us against having to have to die, maybe not as obnoxious as the ones associated with trying to make us accept not all being rich and free…but still, to this immortalist, objectionable.

#Monsterdon
#TheAsphyx

@cainmark @moira @north OMGGGGG

and paint! there was a whole green room in this movie! #monsterdon #theasphyx

Well, that was terrible. Truly awful.

An amazing #Monsterdon

No space ships or lunar disco bar this time. Guilala crashes in with the opening titles like 10 minutes in.
#Monsterdon #MonsterXStrikesBack

well, finally over. This one was a looong one, gee
#monsterdon #theasphyx

the G8 meeting in this movie is incredible, @ryan is it possible to download from the stream? #monsterdon
