no wait, they they are, taking Moon messages!

#monsterdon

why oh why did we turn right into it?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon so many unremembered names

They aren't feeling the Gs mostly, *interesting* (this is correct for gravity)

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

Whooo! Excellent control panel porn!

#monsterdon

those are some heavily upholstered outfits, I'll give you that

#monsterdon

#monsterdon "We are 21,000 miles from base"

Miles? Really? Still? Out the airlock with these two immediately, please.

#monsterdon *spaceship interior* Oh I _do_ love a good control panel.

@ohmu @moira

movies are every Sunday night at the same time, its always a movie available on a free streaming site like tubi or pluto

follow the hashtag #MonsterdonAlert for news and updates and polls (every monday we have a poll to determine that week's movie) and follow the hashtag #monsterdon for the actual event

#Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

@cazabon Yeah, I was watching along with the Monsterdon watch party. Was expecting more of Richard Kiel than just being in a monster suit.

I’m pretty sure this was one of the inspirations for Amazon Women On The Moon.

#Monsterdon

@Infoseepage I was just thinking "that body doesn't have hydrostatic equilibrium", it's not a planet by the common definition of one

#monsterdon

@Infoseepage

SPACE

NUGGET

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

I was really hoping the twist would be that Zetha was actually from Earth, and she was unable to speak due to childhood trauma from being captured by the Rhetonians, but alas, it was just more, "I loved you since I first saw you" bullshit.

#Monsterdon

@apLundell Make sure you know what you're buying. The one in the picture's smaller than a slice of bread I think #monsterdon

@floatybirb (nods, leans forward) go on

#monsterdon

@amyfou They had to be small so that they could steer their little asteroid secretly toward the moon and also so that Frank Chapman could feel emasculated.

#Monsterdon

Audio only monster dawn reporting in I was out of service the whole time was that planet populated exclusively by slide whistles? #monsterdon

@whknott @amyfou clearly history shows we'd hold out for the star war

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

@apLundell Tempurlithic beds are a scam. #Monsterdon

@apLundell There are _several_ mods to add mattresses to stone dwarven beds in Skyrim, so I'm gonna go with "no."

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

🦖 #MONSTERDON GOODBYE!🎞️

Thank you @Taweret for hosting this cringey scifi showdown!

🚀 and thanks @cheribaker for the Bingo card! My fave: "Lust overcomes common sense".

🚀 and @randy_s for filling in with the cocktail. Tang in the recipe...genius!

And to all the members of the Real Time Film Analysis Squad: Nothing got by you yet again. Great commentary!

@floatybirb YOU. Take over the writer's room. Now!

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

@paco The gravity is a little odd here, but not so much that it warrants any kind of scientific research.

#Monsterdon

@Lazarou In this universe the Air Force does seem to send spaceships out at the drop of a hat so yeah, they might as well

#Monsterdon

This is the beginning of the end. #monsterdon

@jsadow Oh my gosh I loved the women wrestlers, that was SO much fun - I thought tonight's movie was way more boring and misogynistic (if I hear "her adorable little face" one more time, lol....)

#monsterdon
#ThePhantomPlanet

@Newpa_Hasai They just came from the Fyre Festival on their sun satellite #monsterdon

My mind is a polluted wasteland now. #Monsterdon

@FirstFish But even if the rockets had to be crewed to make them politically viable, what were those crewed ships supposed to do?

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

@jsadow @Lazarou Yeah that seems about right

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

"He's all right . . . he's in a state of shock."

Uh, that's not how shock works.

#Monsterdon

I don't think it's safe to leave those backpacks with oxygen canisters loose on the cabin while they takeoff.
#Monsterdon

Well that was a less than abrupt ending. What’s goin’ on here?
#Monsterdon

Alternative theory: if Blond Hero had embiggened in a way that got him stuck in the suit really awkwardly, THAT would’ve been good evidence for Lilliputian aliens! Better than random pebble in his pocket #Monsterdon

Fun sets and goofy fights! Thanks, everyone. Another enjoyable #Monsterdon in the can.

since VLC auto replays from the beginning (the beginning), i can confirm that the babble at the start actually makes (some) sense once you know what the movie is about #monsterdon

Every time that dude put his space suit on, he passed out. To me, it seems more likely there's something wrong with the air supply in that suit, than he really met some space liliput people and fought aliens.
#monsterdon

@Lazarou @diazona Maybe the sequel would just be him dreaming that everyone calls him Frankchapman and won't stop and then he goes mad.

#Monsterdon

Imagine being a tiny six-inch guy in a full sized spacesuit, and then suddenly growing to fit it.

That's terrifying. There's so many ways that could go wrong. #Monsterdon

And they all eff off back to earth

THE END

Oh wait...THE BEGINNING?

I hope not!

Anyways cool effects, advanced smol people, a big flaming injustice and inspiration for more than one Star Trek episode yet to be produced!

Thanks @Taweret for another rockin' #Monsterdon !

@anne maybe it's the kind of rock that adsorbs oxygen, so when it got big fluffy earth oxygen it puffed up just a little bit

#monsterdon

Well, of all the movies we've watched on #monsterdon this year, this was certainly one of them.

Thanks to @Taweret for once again guiding this ship of democracy onto the rocks, as is her wont. I wouldn't have it any other way, mind you.

#Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

Thanks @tawaret for another #monsterdon night yall

ONLY THE BEGINNING

#monsterdon

Is only the beginning? Is only?
#Monsterdon #PhantomPlanet

ONLY THE BEGINNING

What in tarnation…

That was one of the movies of all time. I wish it had done less, but at least there was Dolores Faith.

#Monsterdon

Is this going to turn out to have been an @AdaraAstin reading all along? Tiny women on giant spaceman?

#monsterdon

ONLY THE BEGINNING
OnLy ThE bEgInNiNg
only the beginning

#Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet #thebeginning

His proof is a wad of used chewing gum #Monsterdon

"THE BEGINNING" I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE #Monsterdon #thephantomplanet

only the beginning only the beginning only the beginning

#monsterdon

THE BEGINNING

oh god it's starting over D: #Monsterdon

He’s got thrust to spare. #Monsterdon

@Lazarou Just when we thought we might be done with this story....

#Monsterdon

Turns out the real monster is the Bohr nucleaic model.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon "I know we're gonna make it"

Listen. You don't have a good track record...

Lawndart 6 AWAY!

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

BTW the guy playing Chapman looks very Native American.

#Monsterdon
#ThePhantomPlanet

They blew the budget on those jetpacks and spaceship interior

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon movies are not known for their quality of love stories.

@Ayyyydrew Or did they just colorize her with violet eyes cause she kinda looks like Elizabeth Taylor.
#Monsterdon #PhantomPlanet

There’s no place like home. There’s no place like home. There’s no place like home.

#Monsterdon

Frank has to carry the stone with him, but of course the stone does not grow in Earth's atmosphere, so it'll just be a little grain of sand that he'll accidentally inhale and sneeze out somewhere.

#monsterdon

and YOU were there, and YOU, and YOU were there too! #monsterdon

“There’s no place like home. There’s no place like home. There’s no place like home.”
#monsterdon

"Where's McConan?"

He wouldn't shut up so I stuffed him in a Good and Beautiful locker. #Monsterdon

"Ohhh, I know what really happened, I went mad and killed my crewmate then crashed into a rock, silly me..."

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👨‍🚀 👩‍🚀 🚀 ☄️🪐 😱

OK but the head embiggening back into the helmet was pretty great

Time to reinflate Frank

#Monsterdon

Imagine crawling into your suit as a smol person and sealing it up for you to "instantly" grow to "normal" size. Now, imagine they seal it and turn on the oxygen before you're arranged in the proper position to fill the suit.

Oops!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

oh no was it all a dream?

#monsterdon

"But there's no trace of culture....begin the land sales! Development! "

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon #PhantomPlanet

Oh, good, a second flashback.

#Monsterdon

“What did you get for visiting the tiny planet, Frank Chapman?”

“I got a rock.”

#monsterdon

Gave my (25r) boyfriend (30m) a random rock and told him it was a good luck charm, AITA #monsterdon

Whoah! They just addressed the no-oxygen-in-the-suit problem, I'm impressed!

#monsterdon
#ThePhantomPlanet

I like how the Solarite actor just side-stepped onto the plate so that he'd be in position to be disintegrated. 😂
#Monsterdon

@whknott That is what the movie is trying to teach us #monsterdon

I was wondering what was going on with the second rocket. How come they don't get a cool name like 'Pegasus' for their ship? #monsterdon

you already sent one white to investigate why are you sending

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

So if Blond Hero embiggens in his space suit, how is he gonna make sure his arms get successfully in the armholes at the right time? What if he gets big too fast and his arms get stuck like a kid trying to escape a snowsuit? #Monsterdon

Are those battle controls made of upside down cut up two liter bottles? #monsterdon

are y'all watching the same movie #monsterdon

@Zerofactorial It's all a matter of perspective 🙃

#monsterdon

"But I don't wanna go back to the Moon, I have some action here....."

#monsterdon

Yeah, yeah, Kirk's Lament, we've all seen it. #Monsterdon

@whknott Tiny, yet huge, at the same time #monsterdon

This is basically the plot of Poor Things. #monsterdon

Uh. Rival guy’s “flap” is open. Wut? #Monsterdon

huh, panic cures space laryngitis, who knew?

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

But you can talk

#monsterdon

@Lazarou I'm not certain, but he was in the credits and I haven't seen anyone else walking around with a chin like his. #Monsterdon

So they just leave the instadeath squares in the control room all the time? #monsterdon

so far this alien is far less aggressive than the earthling was when he got here. he like lightly shoved a guy.

...everyone on this planetoid is a war criminal

#monsterdon

@blogdiva Can you imagine having some tiny aryans up in your funk?

#monsterdon
