Phantom Planet is The Wizard of Oz if L. Frank Baum was a depressed NASA accountant. #monsterdon

Haha, ending with "the beginning" is cute #monsterdon

He inflated back
#Monsterdon

mm, overall, not as bad as last week, but whatever better movie these special effects were stolen from must be awful salty about it. #monsterdon

bye bye popcorn planet!

thanks @Taweret!

#monsterdon

I know how ratios work and that pebble in his palm is way too big.
#monsterdon

In conclusion, midriffs.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👨‍🚀 👩‍🚀 🚀 ☄️🪐 😱

And the music swells, as the Narrator (tm) returns to tell us that there's gonna be a sequel.

Again with the "adorable little face"! C'mon

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon SHIT! Now we're back at THE BEGINNING

So ends another #Monsterdon. Our thanks to @Taweret for hosting, and to everyone who posted or lurked today. And remember #Monsterdoners: I can't work under these conditions.

Monty Python’esque Ending #Monsterdon

Bye space nug #monsterdon

#Monsterdon THE BEGINNING

The announcer sounds drunk. #Monsterdon

We close on the reverse version of the stars from Buck Rogers.

#Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

i mean at least he figured out he needs to let everyone think he agrees it was a dream #monsterdon

BYE BYE CHICKEN TENDIE!

#Monsterdon

@cs I fear the couples are not chosen for their chemistry. Frank Chapman has the chemistry of breadfruit for instance #monsterdon

okay, today's lesson folks is to use your tethers when you space walk! #monsterdon

#Monsterdon and the flying nose trimmer makes for the moon!

Chapman will never be allowed to fly again. #Monsterdon

Yeah, that's the planet in your aft. #Monsterdon

Oh right, that would require a woman to have agency.

#Monsterdon #PhantomPlanet

He seems to be alright, except for his delusions.
#Monsterdon

@moira #monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet
I approve of this alternate ending.

@apLundell
That would have been stimulating

#Monsterdon

"...and all I have to remember them is this kidney stone"

#Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

@jammerb ixnay on the ocketpay eckingchey we don't need to see that #Monsterdon

Wow that ending I mean beginning blew my mind.

#Monsterdon

I've made first contact ever with two new alien species. I nearly married an alien woman and became king of their planet. But I have nothing in particular to say about these things. It's not among the first things I'll say to the first Earth people I meet. #monsterdon

So, those plates are just sitting around there as killing fields? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon sure yeah just dump the expensive life support backpacks on the ground

Wow. Chapman will have ONE chance to get his head into the helmet when he embiggens, better not get it wrong! #Monsterdon

@jchaven whoa this is bizarre

#Monsterdon

Their spaceship explodes at launch, it's all an op to preserve their secrets

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

If Zeetha really loved him, she'd have hidden in his pocket. #Monsterdon

okay Frank had better align himself correclty, otherwise there'd be some weird explaining to do with why he's got both arms in the same armhole

#monsterdon

@apLundell Great big body, itty bitty skivvies.
#Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

"What you need is rest."

We've got a nice place where you're gonna get aaaaaall that rest. And a nice, white jacket. #Monsterdon

"Zetha, where is she"

buddy I have been asking myself that question every scene she's not in since she entered the story

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe otto pilot did it better #wrongMovie #Monsterdon

Alright a decent ending. 🎉

#Monsterdon #PhantomPlanet

@plaidtron3000 I mean why not at this point

#Monsterdon

and the salvia trip has concluded...
#Monsterdon#ThePhantomPlanet

WTF?! Is this an "it was all a dream" ending?

#Monsterdon

The rock grew in size too??

#Monsterdon #PhantomPlanet

Thank goodness, I forgot the whole movie already so good to see it again
#monsterdon

@Taweret if only we would be that lucky

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon it was all a dream?!?!?!/s

Zeta has the prettiest purple eyes (color version on tubi) and now I'm wondering if they are her real eye color or she wore colored contacts for the film #monsterdon

Wow. So like nothing the Raythons have done has made me like them.
#Monsterdon

Wait! He went into the spacesuit CLOTHED!!

HIS CLOTHES WON'T GROW!

#MONSTERDON

"and you were there, and you were there..."

#monsterdon

I'm going to throw something if it turns out "it was all a dream"

#Monsterdon #PhantomPlanet

Did his ass reinflate first?
#Monsterdon #PhantomPlanet

“Remember my love” that consisted of being in the same room as you and being mansplained at once or twice #Monsterdon

they really are gonna recap this whole movie. wow. #monsterdon

I guess he had to give back his Rayton clothes before they stuck him back in the suit #monsterdon

Aaaand Frank's head rises slowly in the space suit, we say good bye and good night to Ray Ton. #Monsterdon

"And he grew three sizes that day" #Monsterdon #thephantomplanet

Why were there elephant sounds? #Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

or: she tries to stow away in the spacesuit with him, the air makes them both big and they get crushed

#monsterdon

She has never been able to speak her whole life. And suddenly she can speak. And she doesn't just sit and babble constantly? #monsterdon

oh great it's the fucking Robot Monster ending

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

I’ll keep it forever
but my solemn duty is to the air force
toodleoo
#Monsterdon

He gets a souvenir pet rock but I wonder if the Big Oxygen will work on it or if it will just end up an annoying grain if sand in his space boot #Monsterdon

"We've become friends. We would've become friends anywhere. It took a battle to the death to figure that out. Thanks toxic masculinity!"

#Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

#Monsterdon alright kids sit down grampa's gonna tell you about the time he got it on with two alien broads

Wait, they keep that deadly plates switched on ton all the time?
#Monsterdon

that was extremely beard-coded

#monsterdon

"We've become friends here..."

Yeah, I'll remember the good times. Like the time your political maneuvering nearly got me disintegrated by Death Linoleum.

Good times. #Monsterdon

"we've become friends"
well, you did try to kill each other over a girl, that was the only way for guys to make friends back in 1961. #monsterdon

Her breasts look smaller now or is this a hallicunation?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon the fire in space effects are kinda neat.

Oh. Cluster “field”. #Monsterdon

he takes the souvenir stone home with him but when he gets big it's just a tiny grain of sand and he loses it between his toes

#monsterdon

Title drop! Okay time to wrap up the movie and go home.
#Monsterdon #PhantomPlanet

@jchaven yup, sounds about right

#Monsterdon

She asked him for one of his chest hairs. He gave her THOUSANDS

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

spaceship 308, aka the cat the old lady swallowed to find out what happened to the mouse. #monsterdon

I feel like this movie could've benefitted from the #MST3k mantra. Waaaaay too much exposition. #Monsterdon #YouShouldReallyJustRelax

I'm not going to lie, this movie really makes me uncomfortable...

#Monsterdon

Co-pilot's got some serious eye make-up game. #Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

WAT? Zaitha can scream?
#Monsterdon

Restored my (30m) girlfriend's (25r) voice and then returned to my home planet, AITA #monsterdon

space darts are not as cool as lawn darts

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

Chapman: "Everything in me wants to stay... and by 'everything,' I mean my penis."

#Monsterdon

IMZADI

#Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

what if he takes Zetha back to earth with him but breathing fluffy earth oxygen *doesn't* make her big

#monsterdon

The planet's atmosphere endows Frank with an animal magnetism that the chicks dig #monsterdon

I see another brick wall ending coming.

#Monsterdon #PhantomPlanet

She's pretty good at speaking for never having spoke before #monsterdon

Phantom Planet, OR "Frank Chapman finds love in a hopeless place" #monsterdon

So take her with you, there's room for two in that suit 🤨 #Monsterdon

Is "you have such an adorable little face" a compliment?

#Monsterdon

I mean, original Star Trek had panic curing Old Person Disease so sure, why not?

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

OH MY GOD SHE CAN TALK the magic power of screaming in xenophobic terror to erase disability

#monsterdon

I've been thinking about what she said about them not needing to eat. The only way this could be true is if they engaged in chemosynthesis. For those who don't know, chemosynthesis is a similar process to photosynthesis. The difference is that instead of photons (sunlight) setting off the process, it's chemicals, typically carbon dioxide or methane. We have this on Earth - but so far, our discoveries have been limited to deep sea life. In order for this to be true for them, the atmosphere would not be breathable by Chapman. #PhantomPlanet #Monsterdon #BiologyTeacher

Zetha, girl, you can do better than him.

#Monsterdon
