monsterdon replay · Best of The Food of the Gods

six months later sweater lady talking to her kid

eh I don't know you seen one dead seven foot chicken you seen em all

Void Chicken

we better get a giant baby at the end

Man, I did not think this movie could get any weirder before the microbiologist revealed that a giant rat siege makes her horny. #Monsterdon

Void Chicken

she died as she lived. wrestling mutant animals in her kitchen

AND THAT'S A WRECK

We never learn where the Food of the Gods came from, why it does what it does, what else it might have affected, or whether it ever stopped just leaking out of rocks! Our heroes leave the screen with nothing more than a voiceover! No lessons are learned by anyone, except that giant rats sound like jaguars and _definitely_ don't fuck off into the sea!

Thank you for hosting, @Taweret ! Thank you for the bingo card, @cherizilla !

Somewhere in the second half of every Sunday night movie I think, "Doesn't anyone realize how bad this film is," and then I remember why we're all here

#Monsterdon
#FoodOfTheGods

Hubby looked it up and IMDB does say that if you go frame by frame, the mice are getting squirted with fake blood, and not actually being wounded.

So that's good, but I'm still done. :)

🦖#MONSTERDON Goodbye!

❤️ Thank you @Taweret for hosting this oversized screen smash!

🅱️ and thanks @cherizilla for the Bingo card! I love the chicken stamp! Thinking of other uses!

🦖And to all the members of the Real Time Film Analysis Squad: There was so much to...well...comment on in tonight's feature and you didn't miss a squeak! Loved it!

I always look for the good in these movies.

Marjoe Gortner’s Jeep looks like it would be fun to drive.

Also, nice shots of the ferry ride. I did not expect them to be the best part of the movie, but they were nice.

No horror movie about stranded people in peril in the deep woods would be complete without me reminding everyone that ham radio exists

"...they estimate that he was stung by no less than two hundred and fifty wasps!"

entire fediverse screaming at their TVs: NO FEWER

Canadian-rules law:
you’re liable for the behavior of things that eat your food.

Really telegraphing hard that I don’t need to feel bad when Jack gets eaten by a huge bunny or whatever. #Monsterdon

On the other hand, that's the first time a #Monsterdon has ended by fucking off into kindergarten. Which is novel, at least. #Monsterdon

Morgan and Lorna are about to fall in love and fight giant rats GEE WHAT MOVIE DOES THIS REMIND YOU OF

As youuuuu wiiiiish....

If you give it to the pregnant lady will she give birth to an adult human?

That's probably a whole different horror movie

"We could have taken over the Earth were it not for our weighty bollocks dragging us down" - Giant Rats

#monsterdon #foodofthegods #thefoodofthegods

I find the rat-flood scene to be less plausible than the electrified fence. It takes a lot for me to find something to be less plausible than that electric fence.

She died as she lived

Chopping rats in the kitchen #Monsterdon

wow we have a Bechdel pass

You can tell the city people by the lack of plaid #ActualSocialScience

I know it's a cliche observation, but these '70s environmental horror movies are really just rich white people guilt writ large. #Monsterdon

i am _dangerously_ close to a _very_ early bingo

Void Chicken

a real giant chicken would shred you like paper tho

Horse just realized it's in a Bert I. Gordon film and freaked. Totally fair. #Monsterdon

#mg #mgtd #ClassicCars #WeirdCarMastodon #sunset #fall #autumn

That was a pretty good September Sunday. Slept in, took the MG TD for a drive, stopped by a classic-car cruise, watched the Detroit Lions win, caught the sunset, and then watched a truly terrible movie on #monsterdon. Entirely satisfactory.

Sept. 28, 2025. #Michigan

and i'd like you to get the fuck out of here
#BestOfMonsterdon #Monsterdon #FuckOffsOfMonsterdon #GiantKidsOfMonsterdon

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD i need a clip of the giant baby going "and i need you to get the fuck out of my room" #monsterdon

#monsterdon #thefoodofthegods #foodofthegods

I want “Kaiju Cows, The Movie!”

I think the lesson from this #monsterdon movie is "don't drink the weird white goop that comes out of a rock, and don't feed it to your chickens, because then they might start murdering people" which I guess is extremely relevant to our present circumstances.

The chemical didn't just make the animals large, it made them very flammable. This is a wasp nest and a pile of 2 tons of soggy drowned rats with spritz of gasoline.

What! That's it?!

YOU NEVER TOLD US IF YOU HAD SEX

this whole bacteriologist character is such a mess what even is she doing in the entire movie #monsterdon

You know what they need? A stray cat and a bag of food of the gods crunchies....#monsterdon

everyone calling those things that are definitely mice "rats" is setting themselves up for failure when the actual giant rats come around and they are like a million times smarter and 5x as big #monsterdon

"Looks like the white one is the leader."

RATS DON'T HAVE *LEADERS* WHAT THE FUCK #Monsterdon

"What happened to your friend, did he run out on ya?"

"No, he RATTED ME OUT," aaahhhahahahha <cough>

pitching a sequel: "if the mice got 100x as big... then their brains got 100x as big... so therefore they must be super genius mice, and these are just the soldier mice that make it seem like they are still normal mice and the problem is that they are hungry, but meanwhile the mice have been forcing hostile takeovers of companies around the world under a labyrinth of shell corporations..." #monsterdon

I love how this old woman is good for nothing except disrupting the cycles of nature and yelling at businessmen

#monsterdon #TheFoodOfTheGods

I had low expectations for this one. Still, I may have set the bar too high.

After you use the shovel on the giant bugs I've got some gender politics you can beat down

holy fuck dead guy was supposed to be an _athlete?_

ANY of these people are supposed to be athletes?!

less realistic than family guy

there is no dose dependency of the giant goo, any molecule of it given to an arbitrary window of child will make you giant, even if filtered through an entire other mammal's mammary gland. so really the problem is the oceans now and how every aquatic creature is now giant #monsterdon

absolutely drunk with compositing over here #monsterdon

Okay. I'm out. This really does not look like fake animal harm and it seems really believable that a movie set in 1976 would be okay killing mice, so I'm getting super squicked out.

Good luck everyone. :)

mice that had no problem chewing their way through the walls of your house when they are 6cm long will have no problem chewing through your walls when they are 6m long. #monsterdon

The Witch of Crow Briar

crowbriarhexe@tech.lgbt

Mrs Frisby is the leader #Monsterdon

Claiming that oversized rats won't be able to swim feels a little like fat shaming, sirs

YES! make the oligarch liable for their pollution! You show them Marjoe!

The bacteriologist's eyes sparkle at his plaid-filled clever retorts

Hey if we fed this stuff to sharks I bet we'd have a lot fewer billionaire yachts, I mean it's just an idea (I'm sure there will be no negative ramifications)

If _my_ arm were being chewed by very large caterpillars or maggots I would simply walk away from them. It would be easy for me

...You didn't want to, like, move your hand or anything? #Monsterdon

Reminder: chickens remember being large ferocious dinosaurs

1976 B movies: Haha wouldn't all acting be bad if the actors had to just thrash around reacting to things that aren't actually there

2000s green-screen blockbusters: hold my beer

That movie would have been a lot better if had been 88 minutes shorter

...Y'know, I know I usually bitch about #Monsterdon movies ending too suddenly but

was this trip really necessary? #Monsterdon

So this is all just Paul Bunyan's origin story, huh #Monsterdon

MindTGap

I keep hearing Michael Jackson singin'

If we have already established that the goo doesn't make adult creatures grow giant, only young creatures, then surely the area would be disproportionately overrun by enormous creatures with short reproduction cycles? Shouldn't there be enormous beetles and ants all over the place, and a lot fewer mammals and chickens?

"I'm not afraid to die."

It means getting out of the movie early. #Monsterdon

These people are all very bad at philosophy

Basically just Maximum Overdrive with worse music

the mouse eating the fucking pipe!!!!!!! so cute!!!! #monsterdon

Are you TRYING to get ants?!

Because that’s how you get ants!

wait

We're all on the same page about pregnant Rita about to give birth to Yeti, the Giant of the 20th Century, right?

I find the premise of a rock oozing cum that, when you feed it to animals it turns them into giant cannibals, to perhaps stretch the limits of plausibility.

Pregnant lady is filming the prequel to The 50 Foot Woman. #Monsterdon

I share everyone in this movie's exasperation with how stupid every one else in this movie is

How much d'you think Bert spent on vanilla pudding for this film? #Monsterdon

@bunnyhero #monsterdon

So the white rat is the movie's final boss, right? #Monsterdon

Waspitov cocktail. #Monsterdon

lol "you're the first man I've met with balls"

70s romance.

For the record, the size of those mosquitoes is accurate and the use of double-aught shotgun shells as repellant is factually correct

If a mysterious substance started bubbling up from the ground, I’m not sure my first thought would be “I wonder if I could feed it to the chickens?” #Monsterdon

"They got et by the real big ones." is my new catch phrase.

forestine@sunny.garden

so wait where does the FOTG come from? she just said she prayed for it?
Not even a scene where it comes out of the ground or something?
#Monsterdon

These two ferrymates are way too sanguine about their buddy being exsanguinated.

Katie: "What are those... bats?"

Me: "black flies."

Katie: "Giant black flies?"

Me: "Normal black flies. Takes place in Canada."

..Is this Canadian-rules foxhunting? #Monsterdon

i'm not gonna watch this whole thing but @ryan is playing food of the gods 2 on https://miru.miyaku.media/ and it appears that yet again it is centered on rats who are actually mice, an odd choice given how many other animals it would be cool to be giant #monsterdon

leece

leece@aus.social

Thank you everyone. I liked the movie a lot better than most, lovely colours and scenery, good effects, but the animal cruelty was upsetting, hope we can avoid that sort of thing in the future.

@ryan they actually made a sequel holy shit. watching the trailer now, it looks like it has nothing to do with the original lmao #monsterdon

Well that was classic monsterdon fare, though I do feel slightly dirty from all those jars of....'substance'

Marjoe on form as ever!

_weird and unsettling footage of swamp cows frollicking and contentedly chewing cud among open jars of FOTG_

_weird and unsettling footage of cow milk being industrially farmed_

_weird and unsettling footage of young children in public school drinking milk_

Was... was this whole movie about defunding school lunch programs

Viking funeral for rats

has there ever been a less effective "boss enemy" than the white mouse #monsterdon

#monsterdon #foodofthegods #thefoodofthegods

I’m not sure why I expected better of this movie. I saw the poster beforehand. I had fair warning.

why are they football players again? why did they come back to this island? i am missing some basics on "what is going on" #monsterdon
