Smol oxygen means we’re not only small but we don’t need to eat much either

#Monsterdon earthmen are dicks.

Your whole planet is a piece of popcorn chicken, I think you're pretty set on food

#Monsterdon

"It's good, what is it?"
"It's one of those asteroids from 20 minutes ago" #Monsterdon

Their advanced technology includes stone mattresses!

@SnoopJ it could still be top-down communism... i'm definitely getting more of a dystopian* communism vibe

*so far the main dystopian thing is just the compulsory heterosexuality, but i'm expecting more

#monsterdon

"This is good what is it?" It's the equivalent of your Earth's sweet meats' #Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

@uptownsongclub tiny oxygen... eats man... woman inherits the earth. #monsterdon

I'm not seeing very much actual work happening here though. Lotta talking.

#monsterdon

oh lordt, is that "female jealousy" gonna spell these people's downfall? i mean 1961 is 1961 but like... #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👨‍🚀 👩‍🚀 🚀 ☄️🪐 😱

Do you think that the Raytonians like chonky chains on their jewelry or did Sessom find the human sized tiny chain and it just looks that big on him?

"...drink this to wash down your chemical bread."

#Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

@ramsey@phpc.social Lady astronauts? Unthinkable!

#Monsterdon #PhantomPlanet

nothing grows here on planet tinypeanuts

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

Oxygen restores you to your original size. Yes, I see. #monsterdon

"Earthlings can eat rocks, right?" #monsterdon

It's true, nobody knows how to cope with free time. Too much free time, too little work, get your noses to the grindstone plebs!

#monsterdon

Ooooh, so we solve war by making everyone drones. #Monsterdon

Why not both?

If this was a musical, there would be song called "You're a Strange One, Frankchapman."

#Monsterdon

Which classic scifi plot do we get? Local Woman instantly falls in love with Hero when he discovers their society, making Local Man incredibly jealous?

Ah no, I see it's Popular Girl tries to seduce Hero, while Good-hearted Shy Girl* is the one Hero should really be with

*The movies always imply or say she's less attractive, but it's a movie so she's just as conventionally beautiful

#Monsterdon

I think Herrom is going to be a problem.

#Monsterdon

"Sesson rules us and we are content!"

Yeah! Democracy is a sham, why bother? #Monsterdon

@SRLevine Nothing really has happened in the movie anyway

Well one guy got lost in space and the other one got tiny, but that's all, I swear

#Monsterdon

@apLundell specifically? #generalSpecific --linguistic dad #Monsterdon

time for the propaganda yey
#monsterdon

What kind of crazy mixed-up world is this? A jury trial where guilt leads to no penalties? Provided free housing? And what’s more, a jury with *women* on it?! #monsterdon

Soft times create soft men.
Soft men create hard times.
Hard times create hard men.
Tiny oxygen creates tiny men.
#monsterdon

And the secret of carbonated soda. #Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

#Monsterdon 👨‍🚀 👩‍🚀 🚀 ☄️🪐 😱

Many characters have said it multiple times but I still don't know if it's 'RAYton or ray'TON

Catholic prayers and Protestant work ethic
#monsterdon

Are we being lectured on the evils of technology all of a sudden? #Monsterdon

Meanwhile, in the 60s #monsterdon

Lol is this a Luddite parable because if so I'm in #monsterdon

#Monsterdon something something commies bad whatever

"So you see, if you institute Universal Basic Income, the economy will collapse! I'm an outer space Republican." #Monsterdon

Got distracted by a laden glance between the guys on the ship (at like minute 6), decided I had to figure out the name of this gay romance book about an astronaut I read years ago, didn't realize the movie stopped *again* while distracted. Whoops. Guess this isn't happening tonight.

#Monsterdon

@ramsey I think the romancing will pick up in ten minutes #monsterdon

Watching the supreme leader's eyes as he's reading the cue cards. #Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

Their technology may've been advanced but their combovers are _genuinely_ primitive.

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

The general just insists on sending more and more ships. How many ships have to crash before he gives up?

#monsterdon

yeah yeah we all saw Wall-E

#monsterdon

@cheribaker It did go into effect when he broke the seal, come to think of it.

#Monsterdon

You'll never see your world again! she says with a giant smile holy shitballs

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon has flown into ... The Twilight Zone
(dun dun dun)

I'm not going to lie. I'm bored. I hope this film picks up the pace soon.

#Monsterdon

Our search party is missing...send out a search party!!
#monsterdon

Fagettaboutit!

#Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

Chapman always sounds like he’s being inconvenienced. #Monsterdon

points for a female character who seems to know her MovieScience though. #monsterdon

Captain Chapman experiences the universe's first Terms of Service with mandatory arbitration clause. #Monsterdon

Holy cow, nice hairdos, and I mean it.
#Monsterdon

No idlers on Raton #monsterdon

"You'll never see your world again. :D"

Man, this is SO not Beautiful or Good :/ #Monsterdon

"The oxygen of your world would restore you immediately to your normal size." So if he can just get back to his ship, which has Earth oxygen, he can get large again and probably leave?

#Monsterdon #PhantomPlanet

dark haired lady looked like she powered down lol
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Man From Earth

These people are getting so close to SAYING the TITLE but somehow they will not do it #Monsterdon

I don't know why Chapman is so upset this place seems pretty nice and they've been pretty good to him TBH #Monsterdon

We're still getting a lot of explanations.

#Monsterdon #PhantomPlanet

"But either way it wouldn't matter *giggle*, you'll never see your world again"

Surprisingly effective menace there

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon oh so these are the guys who get upset about pluto getting demoted

Oh the old, "You have complete freedom here, but you can never leave. So hang around until you destroy our utopia with one fatal flaw that you will trip over before escaping."
#Monsterdon #PhantomPlanet

Even in space, blondes get all the attention. :blobsad: #monsterdon

aha, so it's a matter of oxygen. #monsterdon.

#Monsterdon 👨‍🚀 👩‍🚀 🚀 ☄️🪐 😱

"Lianna"? "Sessom"?

"You'll never see your world again," she says, smiling. #PhantomPlanet #Monsterdon

It's okay, brunette has to practice her contrapposto. #Monsterdon

This is like Swift meets Kafka meets Orwell if they all wrote dumb softcore porn.

#Monsterdon
@tag-monsterdon

Every time they say the name of their planet I think they're saying Raekwon #monsterdon #wutangclan

@lysdexic glad the word budget was there! #Monsterdon

@OldRustBucket I feel like we're getting there

#Monsterdon

"In the criminal justice system crimes of an interstellar nature are considered especially heinous. In Rayton the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad called Toga Beatniks Unit." *CLANG CLANG* #monsterdon

Drum roll plz... and the answer is
#Monsterdon #PhantomPlanet

#Monsterdon 👨‍🚀 👩‍🚀 🚀 ☄️🪐 😱

"Rayton: you can check out any time you want, but you can never leave!" 🎶 🎶

"Which subject do you want me to focus on?"
Director: "BOTH! NEITHER! WHO CARES?"

#monsterdon #phantomplanet

so they have a jury trial but they do not have any requirement to let him know what he's accused of doing

"We do not speak it, we can translate all languages through voice tone waves"

as opposed to... speaking it #monsterdon

Getting all sciencey on our asses.
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon also if you leave you'll get squished by all the big guys

you beat one of us up, therefore we want you to stick around??? #monsterdon

So, um, what's the health system like?
#monsterdon

The real perfect touch is the silent gaps between the repeats

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon all jurors have to wear short jersey skirts now

"I pronounce you Wee and Free"

#monsterdon
#ThePhantomPlanet

This is Rayton California ... you can crash land, but you can never leave.

#Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

The Babes have judged them as guilty and now they're....free?

#monsterdon
#ThePhantomPlanet

#Monsterdon 👨‍🚀 👩‍🚀 🚀 ☄️🪐 😱

The verdict appears to be marbles.

the repeating timpani roll is amazingly badly done

#Monsterdon

...wait, what? What the fuck is this legal system? #Monsterdon

A Raiton man. One who loves raita?
#monsterdon

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet
The guy with a necklace seems like he didn't remember his lines well.

"There are many things you will not understand here."

Like plot, character development, motive, or costume choices.
#monsterdon

Lady jurors, now I've seen everything! #monsterdon

I was thinking this was relatively "hard science fiction" for video, especially for the era. Then the Lilliputians. And then the shrinking.

Conservation of mass? What's that?
