#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

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

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

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!

Hurray for Ida Lupino!!!

#Monsterdon

Once again, everybody can just Z. Arkoff. #Monsterdon

lost track of time, was almost late! #monsterdon

#MonsterdonAlert

#Monsterdon

GO GO GO

I'm sorry but working a Jaws plot into this "food of the gods" film is just... amazing

#monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods2

[reads newspaper] HVAC mutilations are up

"What if the dog had AI? THEN could the dog follow a scent in water?"

#monsterdon #WrongFood

YEP

THEM'S BALLS

#monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods2

#monsterdon #WrongFood

We now join "Mouse Hunt (1997)" already in progress.

#monsterdon #fotg2 #wrongfood

I dunno, I didn't expect the sequel to be stupider than the original. Yet here we are.

#monsterdon #fotg2 #wrongfood

She's actually calling "Help me" to her agent.

#monsterdon #WrongFood

oh look a completely out of place sex scene, complete with voyeuristic rat.

#monsterdon #fotg2 #wrongfood

book 'im, dano

#monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods2

YOU ARE ON DOUBLE SECRET PROBABTION

#monsterdon #fotg2 #wrongfood

A bunch of giant rats, one of which ate someone's face off.

Yeah, send in ordinary exterminators. That's definitely going to end well...

#Monsterdon

oh ffs you're saying we need to keep the beach open, huh?

#monsterdon #WrongFood

"I smell a rat!"

#monsterdon #WrongFood

"I didn't think the face-eating giant rats would eat MY face!"

#monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods2

Woo, giant angry kid.

Did the growth hormone also piss him off?

#monsterdon #fotg2 #wrongfood

Hahahaha, that went to chaos so fast just because one rat made a noise.

#Monsterdon

lol the juxtaposition here

#monsterdon #2Food2Gods

@floatybirb I mean, can you imagine the size of the cow patties?!

There’s the true horror.

#monsterdon #foodofthegods #thefoodofthegods

"This is the food of the gods!"

sure, that's how people talk

#monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods2

I'm legit disappointed that didn't go on longer. I was really jamming out to those synth guitars and snares and all.

#Monsterdon

omg 80s music science montage

#monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods2 #WrongFood

The scientist had nothing to say about science. Such a let down as a character. #Monsterdon

@LingLass lol, you poor soul lol

YOU NEED A UNICORN CHASER STAT!

#Monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

Who needs a cure for cancer, let's smash everything. #monsterdon

@jonny Apparently you just need to reverse the polarity.

#monsterdon

"Something's wrong with the Beaver"

#monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods2

"And I want out of this movie immediately."

#monsterdon #WrongFood

Movie trivia: This is the same eyeroll the actress used after she finished reading the page where her character had to say "I want you to make love to me.".

#monsterdon

The giant angry toddler is at the beginning of the movie? That's the only memorable part. Ooof.
#Monsterdon #FoodoftheGods

oh bobby developed an attitude in addition to a growth condition

#monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods2

They did it o_o #monsterdon

YES GIANT CHILD!!

#FoodOfTheGods2 #monsterdon #postMonsterdon

@LingLass it had heart #Monsterdon

Wait, someone made a mistake.

That rat was actually a rat.

#Monsterdon

Thank you @Taweret animal abuse aside, it was a good session, even if I have trouble keeping up with the Most Excellent riffing.

#FoodOfTheGods #monsterdon

Ran out of ammo but still seems to have infinite quantities of gasoline.

#Monsterdon

@brooke too many rat bollocks for my liking... #Monsterdon

If you're feeling too tired for the second movie, just.... eat some food!

#monsterdon #WrongFood

Those milk cups are kind of like giant versions of the UHT jiggers you get in hotels.

#FoodOfTheGods #monsterdon

@patioboater that is a much better idea for a movie than the movie we just saw. #monsterdon

oh wait, that's where i recognized Ida Lupino from, she was the actress lady in the Twilight Zone who lived in the movies? The Sixteen Millimeter Shrine. yeah!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon and the FotG fucks off into the sea

good night everyone :)

#Monsterdon

Welp. I saw the last 30 minutes of that movie. :welp:

#monsterdon

Thanks for hosting, @Taweret and the bingo @Cherizilla

I will try to vote for better films.. :)

This was a fun movie! Full of cheesey compositing, forced perspective, and puppets. Just the thing to kick off the work week.

Thank you @Taweret for hosting. I hope everyone has a great week! #Monsterdon

if you’re curious about Food of the Gods II (1989) it’s up next on https://miru.miyaku.media #monsterdon

Regardless, thank you all for tooting along, and for @Taweret for hosting

#monsterdon

My #monsterdon self-reply thread got all tangled. How embarassing.

Food of the Gods! I'd like to speak with the chef.

Thanks @Taweret and #Monsterdon for a super-sized portion of H.G. Wells! I leave you with this link to War of the Wasps:

what if the kid in the classroom was sweater lady's kid like five years later?

#monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

@CactuarJoe They needed to make sure you understood the implications! By making them not just implications!

#monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

Oh look, a potential sequel. #monsterdon

Thanks for big fun, @Taweret and @cherizilla and the whole gang!

Drink milk so you’ll grow big and strong, kids.

could have been improved by an abrupt the end

#Monsterdon

The twist is the child is just drinking paint water
#monsterdon

Rather than downloading the movie at this late point, I will just use the power of my imagination.

OH GOD, OH GOD, THE RATS ARE FORMING A RAT PYRAMID

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon well guys, usually I'd say that was fun, but that was kinda horrible. Ah, well, the company was good.

See you guys next week.
