btw this is an hd b&w presentation #monsterdon

They sure are glib about losing multiple ships and crews. #monsterdon

There's so much technobabble and stilted conversation.

#Monsterdon #PhantomPlanet

"You know General, every year I become more and more convinced--"

"Shove it!" #Monsterdon

Not even 10 minutes in, and we're already getting astonaunts philosophizing about the nature of things.

#Monsterdon

Wait a minute. Is it... RAXXLA?

First officer soliloquy ✅

Oh no, honey, Frank is too old for you, you need to find a boyfriend your own age. #monsterdon

@davesdogmaggie thanks for giving me something to pay attention to lmao #monsterdon

@jsadow I have people skills, dammit!

#OfficeSpace

All space suits need more ruching.

#Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

Are those stillsuits?

#Monsterdon

What a stitched together Frankenstein (‘s monster) suit #Monsterdon

Lunar Base 1... how many lunar bases do these astronauts have? #monsterdon

Hoo boy. Your co-pilot is a flake. #Monsterdon

franks one crack
#monsterdon

Can’t say I miss the office chairs.
#monsterdon

They’re in love, right? #Monsterdon

I'm sorry I'm just so bad at paying attention to the beginning of these movies where it's just a bunch of dudes doing expository dialogue...... #monsterdon

Is that a prototype of one of those 1970/80s "Sweat off the pounds" exercise suits? It's either that or a crappy stillsuit. #PhantomPlanet #Monsterdon

#monsterdon you have more technology today in the palm of your hand than this entire space program.

I don't know what sort of fetish-ware Chapman is sporting but I'm here for it #Monsterdon

Gee willikers, better explain what's going on to fill in the audience! #monsterdon

Rumors don't move around in space because there's no air to carry the sound. #monsterdon

Oh, I think "Lightning never strikes twice in the same place" was first said in this movie.

#Monsterdon

Man they spent zero effort on getting him to, and launching that rocket. #Monsterdon

That outfit!! 😂

And just one crack.

#Monsterdon

SLEDGE

HAMMER!

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

More urgent fashion question, did they really put a catheter tube on the outside of those pants? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Frank already sucks.

#monsterdon popcorn asteroids?

What the fuck are you wearing, Frank? Is there space hazing? #monsterdon

Frank, clearly interrupted while performing with his modern dance troupe. #monsterdon

DIFFERENT ROCKET SAME SET CHEAP MOVIE

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

Oh my god, the full length view of the flight suit exceeds my wildest expectations. That's one fucked up outfit. #Monsterdon

Frank only gets one crack.

#monsterdon

Interesting. Must have been a trend in film making in this era where the film title font was crafted to look like an element of the film…in this case a
rocky asteroid.

#monsterdon

Don't we all get just ONE crack! #Monsterdon #PhantomPlanet

#Monsterdon 👨‍🚀 👩‍🚀 🚀 ☄️🪐 😱

I don't think that space suit fits Sting the way it should. Something odd is happening below the beltline...

#monsterdon "sure sir, i'll go die, basically no reason"

"...that's all you get, one crack."
"That's all anyone gets, captain."

#Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

Gosh, I hope he only gets one crack. Two cracks is one too many.

#monsterdon #phantomplanet

"This is a capable base run by capable men"

Well there's your problem: lack of capable women and gender diverse people running things

#Monsterdon

That strap... gotta hurt
#monsterdon

"One crack""
PHRASING...
#monsterdon

"Captan Chapman, report to the Colonel"

Uh you wanna let me know where he IS? Or do I just guess?
#monsterdon

FLOATING SPACE MONSTER has been predicted by jokey foreshadowing #monsterdon

The women, I take it, are not capable? They look insulted.

#Monsterdon

Is that the pee-tube we're seeing coming out of his navel?

#monsterdon #phantomplanet

what are the seams on these space suits holy heck #monsterdon

Chapman just got his hair did. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon attack of the mids????

@Configures @rallias Oh no it actually keeps going

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon we're crashing into the piece of live crumble

THEY SAID IT #Monsterdon #thephantomplanet

#monsterdon alright alright, effing RELAX general

Some of the best sets in I don't know how many movies.

#monsterdon

"Nyes, sah." #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon THEY SAID THE NAME OF THE MOVIE.

Love the side eye between the two female military types #monsterdon

Getting strong feelings they did the audio after they did the video #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👨‍🚀 👩‍🚀 🚀 ☄️🪐 😱

We have the whole vastness of space and we seem to have had both rocket ships crash into a tiny floating puffy thing are we bad at our jobs or is it this 'mysterious' planet?

"This... mysterious object" almost lost that line there. #Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

they said the thing!

#monsterdon

@moira 1961 production quality, no doubt

#Monsterdon

Just another day in the Space Force. #monsterdon

yeah capable men but are they capable of penetrating

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet #monsterdong

That ceiling is sponsored by Mekkano

#Monsterdon

i wonder if my copy was colourized the old-fashioned way, rather than via AI. the colours seem stable so far #monsterdon

#monsterdon we have not control

The 60s! When space was controlled by BIG, PORK ROAST MEN #Monsterdon

We need to put "the guy in command has a pinky ring" on the BINGO

#monsterdon
#ThePhantomPlanet

My heart also pounds like a sledgehammer.

#Monsterdon

"recording reproduction unit"
i will absolutely be calling my mp3 player that from now on. #monsterdon

@hollie lol wat

I'm bummed I missed that

#Monsterdon

... is it just me or are those USAF uniforms just doormen jackets with rank sewn onto them? #monsterdon

My God, they must have blown the whole budget on hairspray. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon quiet and lonely out here, just like home

Say the title! Say the title!! #Monsterdon

Big enough to be a planet?? Pluto would like a word! #monsterdon

Air Force issued Lego snap-on hair style #003 #PhantomPlanet #Monsterdon

They're flying to a giant chicken nugget! #monsterdon

#Monsterdon why are their sleeves braided?

A piece of Cap'n Crunch the size a planet, you mean #monsterdon

#monsterdon im here. love the dials and knobs

the moon looks like the moon and those are some okay models. and I like the space station set

nice so far

#monsterdon

"Not to brag, but I'm the guy who exploded into the title card for Phantom Planet" he says, at all the parties

#Monsterdon

THUNDERBIRDS ARE

actually not go, hang on a minute #Monsterdon

Running a few minutes behind for #Monsterdon oh no!

@LingLass I miss the bunkbeds though :'(

#monsterdon

THE PLANTOM PHANETTTT

#Monsterdon

Can't tell if the opening credits are fogging up or I need to clean my glasses #monsterdon

I am a capable man who runs a capable base.

#Monsterdon

Wow that was a short one. Nite all. #Monsterdon

Ah, they had a Selznick on narration. That explains it. #Monsterdon #NoItDoesnt

Hey astronauts, maybe you wouldn't have hit the space popcorn if you weren't making such cringeworthy pained facial expressions

#Monsterdon
