am I the only one who keeps seeing this guy as like Tim Heidecker? #monsterdon

@Vincarsi It's a bingo! :D #Monsterdon

The Stuff is body snatchers in a handy pint size #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Extremely Southern Awkward Guy has sent the Kung Fu Master Chocolate Chip on a mission to DC to I guess recruit a new party member.

Then he goes to meet the CEO of Ice Cream and Mining in a Posh Lounge bedecked with sales charts and a bear statute. I assume all CEOs decorated their posh mansions with sales charts and bear statues in the days before the internets.

I believe I missed the part where they figured out there's an evil thing killing people #Monsterdon

that rug is hideous

#monsterdon

@vhaas In this version of America there is nothing *but* hunger #monsterdon

i just saw a Doberman vomit the stuff on Divine in Danny drag

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon While investigating the quaint shop, Extremely Southern Awkward Guy and Captain Chocolate Chip discover many ice cream cylinders, which are Portents of Doom. Captain Chocolate Chip reveals his kung fu mastery. Apparently, the Ice Cream has killed the shopkeeper.

Then we are attacked by Zombies powered by evil ice cream. Our heroes make a Harrowing Rowboat Escape and appear in a Very Southern Diner. Also, the shopkeeper came back to life.

FBI, also author of Dune, much versatile #monsterdon

i dont think guns or kung fu are going to be effective on the space goo

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon While investigating the ice cream suppliers, Extremely Southern Awkward Guy is attacked by a black dude in a straw hat, whose name is Captain Chocolate Chip, or something. Apparently it was a case of mistaken identity. The current ice cream vendors stole Captain Chocolate Chip's company and is Out for Revenge.

I think they are teeming up now by investigating a Quaint Shop with suspicious Ice Cream.

#Monsterdon The ominous music doesn’t go well with a VW Bug.

LOL ok I can deal with "horror" like this, a puppet dog head vomiting white foam intercut with the real dog happily licking Danny Aiello, who is screaming blue murder

#Monsterdon

OMG you punched Chocolate Chip Charlie you bastard! #Monsterdon

BACKWOODS KARATE! #Monsterdon

Chocolate Chip Charlie is played by Garrett Morris. The original live action Ant Man. #Monsterdon #TheStuff

The doggie actor did such a good job, GOOD BOY BEN #Monsterdon

okay the little town is actually creepy

nice creepy vibe

#monsterdon

Isn't that Columbo's car?

#Monsterdon #TheStuff

#Monsterdon so the stuff is rabies

I think they used the same package designer for the stuff as they used fir Dippity Do...can anyone confirm?

#Monsterdon
#TheStuff

puppy just wants to play

#monsterdon

Old men on a yacht! Industrial espionage!
"I suppose we have to keep the world safe for ice cream."
#Monsterdon #TheStuff

seriously the more i look at Mo's boots the more fucked up they get. they are like slouch cowboy boots made of like upholstery grade leather and with absolutely no form or decoration in the foot part. even as someone who has bought most of their shoes from the thrift store in their life, i don't think i've ever seen anything that tacky before on a rich-coded character #monsterdon

Something about this commercial is super creepy.
Better title card though.
#Monsterdon #TheStuff

80s movies always have the best houseplants #Monsterdon

#monsterdon the one guy running straight into the puddle of spilled cartons and goo and all just to belly flop in it was what sold that scene for me, personally

This guy's gonna propose to Cher in Act 3. #Monsterdon #TheStuff

Panic! At the supermarket #monsterdon

Be like this kid be un-governable! #Monsterdon

kid's having a little too much fun for the role, i mean, he's smiling because it's fun? but. #monsterdon

Cleanup in aisle 7 ... 8 ... 9 ... and 10

#Monsterdon #TheStuff

I bet this kid loved wrecking this grocery!

#Monsterdon
#TheStuff

I love the graphic design of the logo. I wouldn't be surprised to find out someone involved in production used to do marketing. #Monsterdon #TheStuff

#Monsterdon What is the fur coat fetish going on?

ONE LICK IS NEVER ENOUIGH. #monsterdon

the older kids piercing blue eyes are just screaming "first to be zombified" #monsterdon

#Monsterdon New Character dropped: Awkward Guy, who was a former FBI dude and is Very Southern. He shakes everyone's hands, remarking on their sweaty palms, then passes a burglary check to fake rob his employers, demonstrating that he is at least a Level One rogue.

Later he punches someone for some reason. I'm sure that's not important.

#Monsterdon new characters have dropped... some overdressed capitalists on a yacht discussing the mysterious nature of the weird bubbling ice cream that they eat.

They have to hire spies for this I guess, or former FBI agents.

"I suppose we do have to keep the world safe for ice cream!" This is possibly the ONLY time I will be vaguely sympathetic to rich assholes on a yacht. #Monsterdon

That's Amanda Plummer's (Honey Bunny from Pulp Fiction) Mom. in the commercial. #Monsterdon #TheStuff

I'm getting abusive dad vibes! #NotOnMyBingoCard #MonsterDon

Wait the movie has *guest* stars? #Monsterdon

Michael Moriarty also starred in Larry Cohen's "Q: The Winged Serpent" (one of my faves) #monsterdon

#Monsterdon My refrigerator is terrifying inside also.

Seeing "Guest Star" in the credits is always weird to me. Like are they doing this as a favor or what? #Monsterdon #TheStuff

It was on the ground. And with no clue what it was, of course his first impulse was to taste it. #Monsterdon

@moira #Monsterdon Tasting rocks is a normal geologist thing, tbh.

i appreciate the zero fucks given title card tbh

#monsterdon

"I'm gettin' eaten alive" Movie 101: Irony. #monsterdon #TheStuff

Staypuff marshmallow man!! nooooo!!! #MonsterDon

I also often eat gooey materials I find on the ground at night #monsterdon

Man don't just EAT SHIT YOU FOUND ON THE GROUND, what the... #Monsterdon

Don't eat yellow pulsating snow! #Monsterdon #TheStuff

Yes, find something on the ground and immediately taste it, normal behavior

#Monsterdon

sure, right off the bat. this film isn’t afraid to deliver The Stuff #monsterdon

I bet this guy ate a lot of paste as a kid... A LOT of paste. #monsterdon #TheStuff

@diazona I've got terminal Critics' Disease, I reflexively analyze everything I watch :p #Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe Me neither, although to be fair I don't come to #Monsterdon for anything as highbrow as themes

I thought maybe I'd do 7 minute frosting on my birthday cake later this week in honour of The Stuff, but now... it doesn't seem so appetizing. Here's a recipe https://www.southernplate.com/7-minute-frosting/
#Monsterdon

Well, this has been a two movie night for me. Had company over - they wanted to watch Evil Dead Rise over dinner (yeah, we're those kinds of people) - and #Monsterdon tonight was 1985's The Stuff.

@CactuarJoe And his role perpetuates the old trope https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BlackDudeDiesFirst #monsterdon

@Taweret @apLundell I saw someone chatting on the #Monsterdon tag about the movie being tightened up and dropping some side stuff in editing, I wonder if that might be the case there?

@blogdiva This explains the taxis https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090094/locations/?ref_=tt_dt_loc #monsterdon

Why was gas station guy so eager that Mo use the restroom? That was suitably creepy, but was it ever explained? #monsterdon

...I believe you have officially ruined dinner for me @Taweret. Congratulations. 😂 #Monsterdon

I feel like the ending of the movie would've been better a little more ambiguous. "We've told the world, now we pray we're not too late" a'la Invasion of the Body Snatchers would've been more memorable and more believable than "society turned on a dime and aside from a new war on drugs we're fine." #Monsterdon

Hoping next week's #monsterdon pick is less grueling to watch than this one and last week's. Maybe it's time to get back to Godzilla vs. Mothra

@CactuarJoe Makes sense to me. Last time they left him alone the little knucklehead crawled into a tanker truck. #Monsterdon #TheStuff

@Zerofactorial She did shout at some models early on in the film, but none of them spoke back, so I think that's still a fail. #Monsterdon

@floatybirb I don't think the runway models got names #monsterdon

@apLundell

The Manster? #Monsterdon

@Taweret Thank you greatly for organizing another #Monsterdon group watch, allowing us to share Sunday night silliness and uh, broadening our cultural horizons.

@Zerofactorial I suppose technically we never established the gender of The Stuff 😛 #Monsterdon

@jonny For me I started slow cause podcast recording went long and I needed a snack before watching people melt from the inside.
no ice cream for me this movie. #Monsterdon

And of course Tubi queued up Motel Hell as my next movie

#Monsterdon

Thanks again @Taweret for #Monsterdon, an awesome idea perfectly executed.

A POST CREDITS SCENE!? Huh.
#Monsterdon #TheStuff
Well single shot and one line.

Thanks to @Taweret for hosting tonight's great film!
#monsterdon

@forestine Ah, bummer. I feel like audiences now would probably tolerate a longer film better. #Monsterdon

Oh no! People are addictied to the Stuff!
WTF is this up beat scifi movie ending credits song?
#Monsterdon #TheStuff

#Monsterdon I love Mastodon, where I can say something like that freely. 😉

Thank you @Taweret for hosting! Excellent feature tonight with icky special effects not easily forgotten! Wall Stuff was best!

And commentators: Your comments will be archived for use by students at Midland Film Skool to support the future of Monsterdon!

#Monsterdon
#TheStuff

@yatsu Put it on the #Monsterdon list for next week, of course :D

Sit down and have a Taste. Eat this Stuff. Hahahahahaha!!!
#Monsterdon #TheStuff

#monsterdon Well sheeeeeeeet that was her for realsies. As sick as we all got of that dumb 80's proto-meme I'm glad she was able to milk it for as much as one could

Wait, you can't bury a quarry and expect that solves the problem of the original source #monsterdon

"Are you all right? Are you all right?" etc and so on, all while the guy is convulsing and exploding #Monsterdon

@Zerofactorial @msh one day #monsterdon will rig up its own peertube instance

@blogdiva #Monsterdon I didn’t notice this until you said it, but in the ending music they really went all out with it.

@Taweret thank you for organizing #Monsterdon! 💙

It was a real treat (heh) to see this one for the first time.

@msh @jonny It's great because you get all the spoilers ten minutes ahead of time on the #monsterdon hashtag

@yatsu Yeah. I might actually *willingly* watch that again. #Monsterdon

So, like..... what happened to the giant Stuff pond? #monsterdon

And for the record, y'all, I did _not_ remember much of this movie from when I watched in 2009, during surgery recovery.

I can definitely confirm that it is _not_ improved in the absence of painkillers. XD

#Monsterdon

@jonny it's the extended interstitial ads edition :blobcheeky: #Monsterdon

I think the scariest part of that one was the editing. That and eating shaving cream. Thanks again @Taweret. I gotta get cracking. This bowl of shaving cream isn't gonna eat itself. #Monsterdon #TheStuff
