Aztec Choreograph credit. yup, we're in for a treat this evening, folks. #monsterdon

Okay, place your bets. What are the odds the mummy and the robot never actually fight? #Monsterdon

can i just say i love the Young America Horror Club logo #Monsterdon

recommended by young america, huh. severe side eye... #monsterdon

Young America! ...That mummy does not look young. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Young America Horror Club! That's a new one for me :)

All I want is a frikin' robot wrestling a frikin' mummy. Is that too much to ask? We got movie sign! #Monsterdon #RobotVsAztecMummy

I had to go with the IPA version, or IAP or PIA or whatever, solely for the score, and it has already not disappointed.

🛕 ROBOT VS TRIVIA 🛕

The Robot vs. the Aztec Mummy (1958) is the third in a series of three movies.

Missed the first two? Don't worry, they are reviewed with plenty of footage from the movies in the first 30 minutes.

That's about half the movie regurgitating exposition.

#Monsterdon #RobotVsAztecMummy

We should have a pool on what minute in the film the mummy ACTUALLY shows up. #monsterdon

This splash screen looks rather formal for the subject matter. They're very suity. #monsterdon

#MonsterdonAlert

#monsterdon

GO GO GO!!

Heeee wants to swing from the chandelier...the chandelieeeeeer

#Monsterdon

That was a pretty good tense scene.

#Monsterdon #TheCurseOfTheAztecMummy #DoubleFeature

Okay, so they're smarter than Skyrim guards. That's something.

"Must've been my imagination"

#monsterdon #TheCurseOfTheAztecMummy

@diazona RIGHT?! 😂 He has nothing to fear, if he falls he has the escape hatch

#Monsterdon

"HARDER! HARDER!"

#Monsterdon

It's like we have another movie with a mime in it. #monsterdon #CurseOfTheAztecMummy

@crazypedia@officemarx.party I think I'll do a rewatch on my lunch break tomorrow at https://monsterdon-replay.gerlach.dev/ :blobpopcorn:

#Monsterdon #TheCurseOfTheAztecMummy

@paco I mean I was gonna say....

#Monsterdon

Yes, doctor, that is precisely why we beat you when you're tied up, because it's easy

#Monsterdon #TheCurseOfTheAztecMummy

The way these Mummy movies occasionally use Frère Jacques but in minor! 😂 #Monsterdon

The actors are also being put to sleep by this movie

#Monsterdon Double Feature of Pain
#CurseOfTheAztecMummy

"Look, pal, I've been in this bed for at least three movies. What's your rush?" -Laura, probably

#monsterdon

Well, I'm getting tired of Dr. Krupp

#Monsterdon

@hollie it's https://xkcd.com/149/

@crazypedia@officemarx.party arrgh! There's a #mst3k version I could have watched , I didn't even realize

Do you forget I know this thing?

No, but you forgot that I knew this other thing.

Right, but YOU forgot that I knew the other other thing.
#monsterdon

@jchaven ahh thanks

#Monsterdon #TheCurseOfTheAztecMummy

@paco It would be a shocking indictment of Kung Fu Saturday if it didn't

#Monsterdon

"NURSE! NURSE!" - this guy, probably

#monsterdon #TheCurseOfTheAztecMummy

@Zerofactorial aha, so it's not me that's getting blurry? good, good.

#monsterdon

Wait I missed how this guy (The Bat/Krupp) made it out of police custody

#Monsterdon #TheCurseOfTheAztecMummy

My other weekend watch party is Kung Fu Saturday and, well, it wins this week in terms of fight scenes. :) #monsterdon

I don't forget you know either oh wait

#monsterdon #TheCurseOfTheAztecMummy

that's nice of them to put his glasses on after una paliza

#Monsterdon #CurseOfTheAztecMummy

@hollie Again with the Aztec Mummy: Electric Boogaloo #monsterdon

poor jerry lewis, he didn't deserve that

#monsterdon #TheCurseOfTheAztecMummy

@CactuarJoe @moira As I understand the Aztec Mummy Cinematic Universe:

1. The Aztec Mummy (1957)
2. The Curse of the Aztec Mummy (1957) - with flashbacks to 1. Currently watching.
3. The Robot vs. The Aztec Mummy (1957) - with flashbacks to 1. and 2. Watched today.
4. The Wrestling Women vs. the Aztec Mummy (1964) - Did that one have flashbacks? Watched on Nov 17 on #monsterdon

That means, instead of a proper spider movie we have to watch The Aztec Mummy next week to get the whole story.

they didn't even give them LA accents to these cops. that sucks.

#Monsterdon #CurseOfTheAztecMummy

@jsadow @Mikal @lytta I like that, makes it sound like an art film #monsterdon

okay we're out of flashbacks for now

stay at your stations everyone, you never know when another wave will hit

#monsterdon #TheCurseOfTheAztecMummy

@nev i'm just going to watch these poor fools suffer through it while not watching the second movie 👍

#monsterdon

Wait so the god is actually there at their ritual inside the pyramid?

Can we get the god some screen time?

#Monsterdon #TheCurseOfTheAztecMummy

She was a maiden serving the God Stick Hockey Polka. Did I get that right? #monsterdon

oh my god there's ANOTHER #Monsterdon? Nope nope I'm too tired, gonna listen to my "British man having a bad day" horror story and call ita night

@jchaven @lytta

I mean, the booze required to make this movie hilarious hasn't worn off yet, so maybe I should watch it. Something tells me I could start now and not miss anything, since I've already seen most of it in flashbacks, apparently.
#monsterdon

@moira Oh, I was thrown off by the lack of Versus. Ah well. #Monsterdon

"I'm twenty years old, and I'm questioning my career choices..."

#Monsterdon

@paco I'm at 14min into it. #Monsterdon

@diazona Okay I'm following you so maybe I'll catch more...

#Monsterdon

@paco He's a very well-spoken curse

#Monsterdon #TheCurseOfTheAztecMummy

If Truman Capote had watched this film: "That's not a movie. That's just exposed film."
#monsterdon

Well that was short, bad, and a real delight! Thanks @Taweret and fellow monster movie nerds. #Monsterdon

@hollie About 12 minutes in now - we started at 15 minutes past the hour (well I started a little late)

This one was actually announced slightly in advance of when the first movie started but it was easy to miss. (I tried to boost the announcement as much as possible)

#Monsterdon #TheCurseOfTheAztecMummy

This one has a wrestler at least

#monsterdon
#CurseOfTheAztecMummy

I only just got *Curse of the Aztec Mummy* playing. Had problems with plex. I've jumped to about the right time, but there's a dude in his underwear and a cape. Is that the Curse? #monsterdon

oh, nice fake machine acting there, pal

#monsterdon

Oh my god is this the mummy from the first movie when he was still alive?

#Monsterdon

@hollie About 12min into it. #Monsterdon

the classic melodrama music actually works here

and actually improves this movie

#monsterdon #TheCurseOfTheAztecMummy

@moira the original plot armor

#monsterdon

@hollie Yes. Curse of the Aztec Mummy
https://archive.org/details/CurseOfTheAztecMummylaMaldicionDeLaMomiaAzteca1957-English #Monsterdon

@moira It was the only way they could think of to get the word "breast" past the censors?

#Monsterdon

@diazona truly I didn't realize we DIDN'T know the identity of the bat at any point

#monsterdon

Hey, the guy in the suit and hat shooting a gun is the Cemetary keeper from the last movie.

#Monsterdon Double Feature
#CurseOfTheAztecMummy

Is this film actually The Fugitive? Prisoner escape on a bus?

#monsterdon

EL SANTO!!!!!!

#Monsterdon #CurseOfTheAztecMummy

Aw yeah! I’ll just shake my Tommy gun and say ratatatatata! #thecurseoftheaztecmummy #monsterdon

@jsadow @Mikal @lytta But the patriarchy stuff and the fake romance did stink up the story, imo. This film just didn't have anything, Flora was trying her best to do something with her part but it just wasn't working #monsterdon

Wait are we on a second movie?

#Monsterdon

If the footage didn't wind up on the cutting room floor, which it probably did, given the cuts the director left, some pensive thought by the actors just before they were asked to "go on" would have helped sell the story a bit. If this cut into the time budget, they could have deleted a bunch of standing around scenes, and/or walked faster.

Overall, given the era, it was certainly worth the Young America Horror Club seal of approval. I look forward to seeing more of their picks.

#Monsterdon

it will probably be entertaining to watch the commentary on the optional second mummy movie which i am not myself watching... is this one from earlier in the series? later? weirdly unrelated?

#monsterdon

@combatwombat @athena_rising Movie runtime: 63 minutes. Watchable footage: 3 minutes.

Great job, crew. Let's pack this one in. #Monsterdon

So the running time was 63 minutes, but really this was a thirteen minute long feature #monsterdon

Wait. That young woman is not his daughter but his girlfriend?

#monsterdon
#TheCurseOfTheAztecMummy

@diazona a drunk potato. #monsterdon

The pyramid books are back.

#Monsterdon #TheCurseOfTheAztecMummy #DoubleFeature

@jsadow @Mikal @lytta I gave The Phantom Planet two stars, this one is half that only because I'm being generous #monsterdon

"This fellow is extremely dangerous" as you turn your back to him

#Monsterdon 🤖 :AztecCalendar: 👨‍🔬 🗺️ 😱

Thank you, #Monsterdonians for another fun Sunday evening. Thanks @Taweret for hosting, @cheribaker for bingo, @JoeWynne for trivia and everyone for the silliness!

@jchaven No flashbacks yet

#Monsterdon #TheCurseOfTheAztecMummy

@rebeld "important" lol indeed

Good night!

#Monsterdon

@Mikal @lytta I'm not sure last week's movie was technically better but I enjoyed it a lot more.

#Monsterdon

"Is this a message for you?"

#Monsterdon

@lytta @Mikal I congratulate you if you can take it that way. Personally, after like half an hour of drivel it's hit bottom for me and the further runtime doesn't matter

#Monsterdon #TheRobotVsTheAztecMummy

so all these mexican cops have old-timey new york city accents?

#monsterdon #TheCurseOfTheAztecMummy

Not gonna stick around for the Curse.

But I'm guessing based on Robot, that I've already seen all the important (ha!) bits through the flashbacks.

'Night all!

#monsterdon

@CactuarJoe and held together with a ketchup-based sauce. #monsterdon

I'll be back!

#Monsterdon

@AlsoPaisleyCat Ahhhh! Makes sense!

#Monsterdon

@diazona @Mikal the only bright side was how short it was. we've watched slightly better movies that were much longer and thus more painful, i think

#monsterdon

Coral Gables, Fla. my neck of the woods.

#Monsterdon #TheCurseOfTheAztecMummy #DoubleFeature

Paul Nagel you better do better

#monsterdon #TheCurseOfTheAztecMummy

💤 much fun, thanks @Taweret bye everyone :) #Monsterdon

@Mikal @lytta

Were finding out right now...
#Monsterdon #TheCurseOfTheAztecMummy #DoubleFeature

@Mikal @lytta This was a real low point tbh
