Something very big has been having a great time

#Monsterdon

But Mr. Skinner never gets eaten by rats at home...
#monsterdon

Back in the woods, a pregnant girl and her husbando are in a stuck RV that broke down and trying to unbreak it, and a very 70s car driven by Not-Jack-Nicholson with a bundled up passenger speeds past them. The passenger wants to help, but Jack says no.

Then they go to the hat gal's place, where they don't find her at first. So they explore the cabin and the bundled girl finds a dead giant maggot. We then discover Hat Gal is alive, having slain the giant maggots with a cleaver.

#monsterdon

Oh god, they've gotten into The Stuff
#monsterdon

lol, old lady has been pushed to the edge bless 'er....

#Monsterdon

"Sorry! I thought you were a bug." #Monsterdon

"You can't tell much when they're dead." You can certainly tell their size Mr. Nothingtoseehere #monsterdon

you can't just walk into peoples' houses wth

#Monsterdon

@floatybirb @jsadow @klu9

Canadian football is similar to U.S. football. Baltimore had a CFL team for a while.

#Monsterdon

Folks, face it, your lives were over the moment you bought that hideous RV. #monsterdon

Oh, you know. Just speeding down a dirt road by a car with the door ripped off, blood everywhere, and body parts strewn all about. nbd

#Monsterdon

Magic disappearing rear view mirror. #monsterdon

Is that the episode where Doctor Who plays american football?
#monsterdon
#FoodOfTheGods

Female scientist forced to work for chauvinist is the most realistic part of this movie so far

#Monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

RATS ON TINY CARS! RATS ON TINY CARS!!! :sicko:

#monsterdon

A wasp the size of 250 wasps?

#Monsterdon #TheFoodOfTheGods

Rats of unusual size!
Wow they are really proud of these big mouse head props.
#Monsterdon #FoodoftheGods

You thought that hippie mobile would save you? Think again! #monsterdon

Aww, those are the cutest giant man-eating rodents I've ever seen!
#Monsterdon

While investigating the peach incident, hat gal is eaten by gross giant maggots. RIP. At least I assume they eat her, maybe they just nibbled on her a bit.

#monsterdon

"Let's eat this guy! He smells like cheese!"

#monsterdon

#monsterdon
RATS! Why did it have to be rats?

#monsterdon If I lived on Monster Island, I'd invest in those run-flat tires.

Meh, nyc rats are bigger.

#Monsterdon

That rat needs a banana for scale

#monsterdon
#TheFoodOfTheGods

@allanb @paco #monsterdon

She's growing the giant insects so she can fight them like Pokemon.

Slugbug! #Monsterdon

would be a real shame if a giant animal showed up

#Monsterdon

@ohiofi

Can you imagine the size of the bottle of tequila????

#Monsterdon

Oh great. A grub error

#Monsterdon

She just sits on sofas for fun. We know she has no telephone, but apparently she has no television or radio either.

#monsterdon

These giant maggots look awesome!!! 10 out of 10

#monsterdon

lol, ewww that's gross lol

#Monsterdon #TheFoodOfTheGods

Welp… back to football. 🏈

#monsterdon

Back when communicable respiratory diseases didn't matter to anyone

#monsterdon

"What can we do?"
"Just forget about it."
"Forget about the 7 foot tall, 2000 pound chickens that attacked me? Sure. That should be easy."
#monsterdon

Ida Lupino fun fact: she directed 3 episodes of Gilligan's Island!

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon The ferry is heading into a misty destination. Anyone for a same-universe as Stephen King's The Mist? :)

This soundtrack deserves a better movie. #monsterdon

Concussions, man, that explains a lot. Like funding the development of this script. #monsterdon

OK that does it. I'm playing AC/DC over this movie.

#monsterdon #MaximumFoodDrive

People sure used to have a lot of hair. #monsterdon

there's some hot ferry action in this movie...

#Monsterdon

Are chicken feed money deals close enough to real estate transactions for this to count?

#Monsterdon

This woman is remarkably calm about a wasp feeding on that F.O.T.G. when she is fully aware of what it does. She gives no fucks.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon The Lord is probably on a really short list for the EPA, or the Canadian one...

Now how small would that lady be normally

#Monsterdon

He just shook of the giant chickens as not totally bizarre and unworthy of specific investigation. #monsterdon

For some reason the audio sync is messed up on Tubi or my Roku tonight so this whole thing looks like a bad dub and this makes it so much better

#Monsterdon

On the upside, you probably only need one of those chicken's eggs for a super big omelette.

#Monsterdon #TheFoodOfTheGods

@Ranjit #monsterdon

I think about this meme every time I see a bunch of birds.

can you even imagine how terrifying a chicken would be if it were the size of an emu

definitely at least this terrifying

#monsterdon

lol, the other chickens just watch and do nothing

#Monsterdon

I love this movie

#Monsterdon

Marjoe Gortner was in mostly lesser quality films, but usually fun ones. He also appeared in every cop or PII tv show that aired between 1975 and 1989. #monsterdon

lol @ giant chicken surprise

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon
The carpenter bees built that cabin.

<knock><knock>

"Hello! Hello! Hey have you got like 47 epi pens and a crash cart? Hello?"

#Monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

#monsterdon He's on his way to being Wilfred Brimley. He's gonna contract the diabeetus.

Marjoe is like the Paul Bunyan or John Mastodon of #Monsterdon

Let's hope those aren't the types of wasp that paralyze their victim and then plant their larvae in them #monsterdon

I swear, horse flies just keep getting bigger and bigger every year...
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Ahhh, Canadian mosquitoes. As big as cats!

Foley artists love nothing more than horse clip-clops on dirt roads

#Monsterdon

the guy in red just took too many drugs....there's no bugs

#Monsterdon

@klu9 That interpretation seems valid to me, having heard of both "football" and "canada", which I am told has lots of snow. I would also venture that a normal football game becomes canadian football if there is snow on the ground.

#monsterdon

OH NO, SOME KIND OF OVERLAY IS ATTACKING ME #monsterdon

The horse is smarter than this guy is. #Monsterdon #foodofthegods

Canada and habitat destruction, do you think we'll see a yeti?

#Monsterdon #TheFoodOfTheGods

aw geez not The Frogs again....

#monsterdon

jeezus, canadian foxes are big

#monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

What the fuck
#monsterdon

One deer was injured in the making of this film.

#Monsterdon

They're hunting deer on *checks notes* HORSES?

#Monsterdon

Fox hunt, but with deer? What?

#Monsterdon #TheFoodOfTheGods

@moira We gotta have one psychic toot per film, right? :P #Monsterdon

that poor Deer :(

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon
Points for the horses.

Looks like some beautiful Vancouver Island, not at all ominous if you’re not philosophical. #monsterdon

well that's some pretty canadian countryside right there now isn't it

oh sure you betcha

#monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

This needs Twin Peaks music.

#Monsterdon #TheFoodOfTheGods

The freezing credits are a great prank for us in the streaming age huh

#Monsterdon

As I continue to isolate in the basement, surrounded by positive COVID RATs, I'm going to try to distract myself by watching this weeks #monsterdon Food of the Gods. "Based on a Portion of the Novel" by H.G. Wells. I'm guessing the portion is the title.

Anyway, please mute if this rambling offends.

IT’S CALLED EX-PO-SITION!!!

#Monsterdon

wow that is one shit-looking ferry
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon i sure hope these fellas have a nice camping trip in *check's notes* chekhov's vengeful gaia

Is this Canadian rules football, does this count as Can Con

#Monsterdon

lol, loving this monologue....

#Monsterdon

Launching my #monsterdon thread for Food of the Gods! A movie that, from descriptions thereof, is probably not very much like its title! The opening credits tell me that it is based on an H.G. Wells book, so I guess it's extra classy.

Monsterdon is a thing where we watch a monster movie every week and make fun of it. If you'd rather not see all the posts by me and others about it, you might want to mute the hash tag (which may reply a browser login).

This is too much Sport

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon *football players* *record scratch* "I guess you're probably wondering how I ended up in this mes"

I thought football used to be played in front of a live audience

#Monsterdon

American football is not what I would have guessed for the first scene. #monsterdon

It's a shame H G Wells wasn't alive to see the union of his prose and Marjoe Gortner acting...

#Monsterdon

Based on _portions_ of a novel?

I suspect that means the words "the", "and", and "maybe".

#Monsterdon

"Portions of the novel" as in "shares common vocabulary with the English language" and "allegedly"

#monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

GORTNER

#monsterdon

The list of careers ruined by this film. Let's have a moment of silence. #monsterdon

#monsterdon is a go! Fire up your 90 minute timed mutes, or get your copy rolling and join in the fun!

The mark of uality. American International.
