"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

Why would you bring your girlfriend to identify a body? #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

and of course thank you @Taweret for hosting this adaptation of a portion of h.g. wells!

#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 :)

OK, thanks @Taweret for hosting, @ryan for the stream, @cherizilla for the bingo, @JoeWynne for the trivia, and EVERYONE for the rat love! I gotta go to bed

#Monsterdon

#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.

@noggog

Steaks.

I mean, stakes.

#Monsterdon

Gee, this kid is kinda scary.
#monsterdon

And they fucked off into… the 3rd grade.

#Monsterdon

"something's in the water"
#monsterdon

@floatybirb Is this related to the marshmallow fluff from the ground? #WrongMovie #Monsterdon

Another #Monsterdon is in the can!

Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!

Tonight's feature, #TheFoodOfTheGods, from 1976, is loosely (and that's being generous) based on the H.G. Wells novel "The Food of the Gods and How It Came to Earth", and included,

This movie sucks.
#Monsterdon #FoodoftheGods

Continue on https://miru.miyaku.media/ for the sequel to see if we get giant cows, kids or Rick Moranis

#Monsterdon

My worst nightmare - giant kids

#monsterdon
#TheFoodOfTheGods

making cows look sinister so being mean to them is easier....

#Monsterdon

So. Much. Milk.

#Monsterdon

wasn't The Killer Cow a supervillain in The Tick?

#monsterdon

@ricci There is? (a sequel)
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🐓 🐇 🐄 🌽 🥚 🍿 👺 😱

#monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

The house is fine? Lol

#Monsterdon

@apLundell Birth of the sequel

#Monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

holding rats underwater for your visual effect is seriously "I hope you die" territory for me

that is sociopath precursor behavior

#Monsterdon

@Lazarou That's hawt! #DannyDevitoNoNogif #Monsterdon

How much gasoline do these people just have sitting around
seriously

#Monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

ah yes, wash it all out to sea. time for some majorly big fucking krill.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

The house exterior with flood waters is actually not a bad composite job, especially for the era.

10 Bucks says Morgan owns a copy of the anarchist cookbook. #Monsterdon

Seriously, now we’re lighting a fire with more gasoline??? This football player is an utter pyromaniac

#Monsterdon

BBQ of the Gods

#Monsterdon

Weren't there other giant animals out there, surely this can't be all of them

#Monsterdon

Now that it’s clear they’ll live, will Morgan make love to Lorna?

#Monsterdon

They don’t know what they’re doing. Humans or rats #Monsterdon

Oh, nevermind. Now they're going to burn them.

...

Why are they burning them?

I don't even want to know what that would smell like.

#Monsterdon

Lorna still horny? #monsterdon

@floatybirb @jonny Coach told them to take the weekend off. I'm enjoying thinking of MarJoe explaining to the coach why his team is now down some players. #Monsterdon #TheFoodOfTheGods

The real monster is the filmmakers.
