"We could plow right through them"

Yeah, it's not like ramming a midcentury sedan into a thousand-pound animal ever hurt anybody. #Monsterdon

The miniatures are so cute, I hope someone still has them somewhere

#Monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

Why isn't anyone using their giant lapels to defend themselves

#Monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

Yeah when you're trying to get one person out of a hole, definitely start by adding a second person to the hole

#Monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

XD XD XD

Oh my god, the wasps were storing firecrackers in the attic! XD #Monsterdon

Are they playing panther noises over footage of rats?

how Dadaist!

#Monsterdon

Make sure to put all 46 shells in that shotgun

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon The ferry again. This movie loves that ferry. Perhaps because so many navigation apps all come with a default to "Avoid Ferries" and it makes the spirit of the Ferry sad. So this movie is here to make up for that.

Oh god, the romance subplot is starting -_-

I think I preferred the wasps -_-; #Monsterdon

I feel like a bad lord is behind this one

#Monsterdon

if we didn't feed weird shit to farm animals we could have avoided that whole 'mad cow disease' thing....we mock this film, but...

#Monsterdon

We PAID for this ferry footage, bro, we are going to USE it. #monsterdon

"When we figured out it wasn't oil, we fed it to our chickens"

#Monsterdon

OH GOD IT *IS* THE STUFF #Monsterdon

Mr Skinner: “Turns out that the food of the gods is just steamed hams.”

#monsterdon

He got a flat tire in the rain. Maybe there is a castle nearby that will let him use their phone.

#Monsterdon #OopsWrongMovie

#monsterdon I spotted a JJ Abrams Lens Flare. This movie is in the Kelvin-verse.

this movie rules

#Monsterdon

The amount of plaid fleece in this movie is _off_ the _charts_.

#monsterdon

...So our protagonists just left the film? Is the jesus lady with the giant rats our protagonist now? #Monsterdon

#monsterdon

THE COLONEL HAS HIS REVENGE #Monsterdon

Did he just choke his chicken

#Monsterdon

XD XD XD XD

so how much you think a stagehand got paid to peck Marjoe Gortner with a three-foot plastic chicken head? #Monsterdon

Oh good this guys sweater looks pre-bloodied

#Monsterdon

"My dad said, kid, I'm gonna send you out into the wilds and hope you die." #Monsterdon

It’s a real “tell don’t show” opening to this one. #Monsterdon

“Ben the two of us need look no more.” Gah! Sang this in chorus back in 76. Thanks, FOTG. Now this tune is stuck in my head. #Monsterdon

@msh @miru As my ninth grade homeroom teacher used to say, "you don't HAVE to do anything but die."

#Monsterdon

the least realistic part of this encounter is that the professor would actually be interacting with the research animals #monsterdon

I award The Food of the Gods 2 out of 5 giant growling rats, because I'm rounding down from 2.49.

Capitalism tried to be the real monster in this movie, but it was neutralized by Jock powers and then overshadowed by the giant angry rats.

#monsterdon

Yes, thanks, voiceover, we understand the looming peril

#Monsterdon

I'm still somewhat concerned that we had a rock that was oozing the "food of the gods" and its still there. Like where did the stuff come from in the first place?

Oh wait, and the movie echoed my concerns by showing some jars of the rock cum floating down a stream so we can get more giant animals that eat people.

#monsterdon

I hope they're burning all the puppets so they can't make a sequel to this movie, he says, knowing that there is a sequel to this movie

#Monsterdon

Are they going to make love in front of the flaming rat corpse pile?

#Monsterdon

@jonny My money is on it coming back

The white rat returned, somehow

#Monsterdon

This is REAL #Monsterdon: *enforced* fucking off into the sea. #Monsterdon

I've seen better water effects from the SNES. >_> #Monsterdon

MONSTER CHOMP

Welp, she died as she lived, yelling about god

#monsterdon

the shots of rats hanging on the cabin are extremely silly lol

once again, threat level ZERO

#Monsterdon

Y'know, for rats, every house is a gingerbread house. #Monsterdon

I hope I don't die in a turtleneck

#Monsterdon

This is Maximum Overdrive

#monsterdon

I'm marking "appropriate horniness" on my bingo card ironically

#Monsterdon #TheFoodOfTheGods

We are now in a siege situation, but the rats, wise in the ways of siege warfare, decided to cut the puny humans water supply by nibbling on it.

The humans are storing their remaining water and making bombs or something.

#monsterdon

Ladies and Gentlepeople...I present the Rat Pack

#Monsterdon

The rats have a LEADER???????

#Monsterdon

that football team is gonna have to retire _so many numbers_

#monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

The effects are the most special

#monsterdon

but you could be right

i may be crazy

but you just might be the lunatic we're looking for

#monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

you can see where they've smeared food on the toy camper van to make it interesting to the rat actors

#Monsterdon

missed #monsterdon so I'm off to find something else to watch this evening before bed, it's a school night after all*.

* - Aside: I mean, I work for a school (OK, university). I just don't do anything related to academia.

"It's worse than I thought"

He's speaking for the audience

#Monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

So I don’t know if you’re familiar with the phrase “Don’t poke the hornets nest”… #Monsterdon

This was actually a stealth training film about Canadian tort law. #monsterdon

They could at least have hired an evil guy who didn't slur his words
#monsterdon

"If we're still here when you come back, can you pick us up?"

"I think you'd better come with us now."

"We'll be OK, we'll stay inside the bus."

The bus: _lists at about a 20° angle off horizontal_

yep good plan

#monsterdon

@CactuarJoe We rented the whole ferry, we're gonna use the whole ferry!

#monsterdon

I hope they go on the ferry another twelve times, it's literally the best cinematography in the whole damn film. #Monsterdon

Are these going to be Checkov's peaches?

#Monsterdon #TheFoodOfTheGods

So far in this movie we have only seen one effective defense against the giant animals, which is "pitchfork". If you don't got a pitchfork when animals attack, you die.

#monsterdon

oh right sorry, my bad

MONSTER CHOMP

we apologize for the error

#monsterdon

@floatybirb @klu9 It is slightly different, actually (nothing to do with snow) & unfortunately I am a dual citizen who currently lives in the US so I have to apologize to myself.

#Monsterdon

Honey, I Shrunk The Canada! 🍁 🇨🇦

#monsterdon #canada

Did the ROUS eat the FOTG?

#Monsterdon

I wonder if we could really mega-size a rat if it ate the FOTG and got struck by lightning at the same time. #Monsterdon

Directed by Big Insect Gordon #Monsterdon

@ricci fighting a giant pecker like that is most certainly someone's kink

#monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

@moira Are you sure that chicken wasn't just flirting with the protagonist

#Monsterdon

THRILL! To the stimulating FERRY CROSSING SCENE!

#monsterdon

I like how this movie wasted no time with explaining what's going on. The main bro knows its the cursed food instantly. Also, the hat gal wants to export the food to her contact at a department store, which will presumably lead to more giant animals.

#monsterdon

Lord-based science. Thank God it works!

#monsterdon

We are two giant animals and one discussion about chicken feed into this movie

#Monsterdon

"This is the way it comes to us from the Lord"

Okay, Jesus wants you to get eaten by giant chickens, nice. #Monsterdon

MONSTER CHICKEN

this movie is so good omg

#monsterdon

Bad prop? Don't worry! Here at Out of Focus, we have you covered!

Ask about our shaky cam discount!

#Monsterdon

I dunno, man. Those orange gloves are super suspicious. Did they show us the murderer in the first 5 minutes?

#monsterdon

Katie: "are they playing on concrete?"

Me: "I think they're playing on low-contrast film stock."

#monsterdon

dude if you were really a grad student, you'd realize that RAMEN is the food of the gods...

#monsterdon #WrongFood

@ryan I can’t. The first serving of “The Food of the Gods” ruined my appetite.

#monsterdon

@floatybirb Or the sequel that they did make for this movie.

Give me some 200-foot-tall cows and a flood scene with a million gallons of fresh milk!

#monsterdon #thefoodofthegods #foodofthegods

See you next week, nerds
#monsterdon

thanks #Monsterdon 'nother Marjoe flick crossed off, peace y'all, till the next one ✌️

@paco @pineheap I heard FOTG is sold in plastic bags in Canada.

#Monsterdon

Well, that was a movie! Having known nothing about this movie before going into it, I assumed the food would be something more sinister, like soylent green.

Thanks, as always, to @Taweret for hosting, @cherizilla for #MonsterdonBingo, @JoeWynne for the theme drink, @ryan for the stream, and to all of you for making it awesome!

#Monsterdon

@brooke yeah they actually went over that and everything

it's bullshit but they did cover it

#monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

How could you make a movie about giant animals so boring? Burt I Gordon found a way. Thanks again to @Taweret for hosting. Have a great week Beautiful Mutants and if you see anything bubbling out of the ground DON'T EAT IT. #Monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

lol, love how the movie ends with sinister music and frozen on that one child drinking milk....

#Monsterdon

Oh no wait its worse, the cows were being milked and now kids in a school are drinking the milk. So we'll get like killer giant children I guess.

Then we get some ominous drums and... credits.

#monsterdon

This is udderly ridiculous

#Monsterdon

lol, I want a sequel of giant cows....

#Monsterdon

This movie featured far too many scenes of rats being all-too-plausibly shot for my liking. Not a fan.

#monsterdon

So sad that they killed the children inside of those rat costumes

#monsterdon

@jonny Canadian football is mostly played with giant animals so they were recruiting.

#Monsterdon

Ha ha ha oh my god the kid

It looks like the dummy alien Jaime Moussan tried to show the Mexican government, it's THAT BAD #Monsterdon

maybe could have spent a little longer on the running water effect, lmao

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🐓 🐇 🐄 🌽 🥚 🍿 👺 😱

wtf

@Lazarou

She died with honour!

#Monsterdon

Go on lady, it's your death scene., give it your all!

#Monsterdon

Look, the answer is obvious. Just find a bunch of cats and feed them the Food of the Gods.

#monsterdon
