"I'm convinced it's a Space Problem!" -- old dude.

I love this film.

#monsterdon

Space Problem, this is what i'm going to call it in the future when i have no damn clue what's going on. #monsterdon

#monsterdon Landslides Earthquakes and _other mysterious phenomena_ viewers in the 2020's just yawning over here- HOLY SHIT I want that Homer Simpson car...

These dinky little spaceship cars rule

#Monsterdon

WAR BETWEEN THE PLANETS!

Not to be confused with Battle of the Planets. Or Battle Beyond the Stars. Or Star Wars.

#Monsterdon

TRIVIA BETWEEN THE PLANETS

MGM tapped Italian director Antonio Margheriti to make 4 🤯 Scifi films back-to-back. He had to use the same sets, costumes, props and actors.

#QuantityBeatsQuality
#Monsterdon

Well that title card just kinda fell out of nowhere and sat at the bottom of the screen.
#Monsterdon #WarBetweenthePlanets

A full-scale search of outer space? Well, that shouldn't take too long. #monsterdon

#monsterdon YES! I love this film already!

I LOVE THAT LITTLE CAR #monsterdon

WE GOT MOVIE SIGN!!!! #Monsterdon #WarBetweenThePlanets

instancemates i apologize for the timeline pollution, see the #monsterdon wiki page for explanation and mitigation: https://wiki.neuromatch.social/Monsterdon

someone has got to finish the computer probing remix #monsterdon #monsterdonRemix

#Monsterdon Why did only those two guys get a memorial? What about McGyvers? And his copilot? They also died on the planet!

@apLundell Genuinely not sure it had an original language. Like, kinda thinking it was a multi-language feature from the beginning.

#monsterdon #WarBetweenThePlanets

I wonder if tonight's #monsterdon film was more coherant in the original Italian.

The version we saw was like they wrote a list of a bunch of cool, classic sci-fi ideas, and then just ran through them all as fast as possible.

@yatsu to be fair, the wind was causing gravitational compensation effects all the way down to Earth! #monsterdon

For reasons that will NEVER be explained. #monsterdon

OMG! Tonight's #monsterdon was the THIRD IN A TRILOGY!

A trilogy about the gamma-1 space station!!

@moira oh of course. I think I still have to remind myself that we live in a reality where logic exists and you can't just combine arbitrary ingredients

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon #WarBetweenThePlanets

Directed by Tony! Wow that was a super short credits.
It';s over... that was. Well we have seen worse and stuff kept happening. But I wouldn't call that good.
#Monsterdon #WarBetweenthePlanets

@aburka @clayknight ooh well then it should definitely be on the list for future viewing

FYI @Taweret

#Monsterdon

Wait the two redheads get to adopt a little redheaded step child now? Eh?
#Monsterdon #WarBetweenthePlanets

@aburka @diazona @clayknight Why did they give up at four so we couldn't have a Jackson Five? #monsterdon

That's it? That wasn't that cool of a planetary explosion. I was hoping for lots of meatball chunks everywhere across space.
#Monsterdon #WarBetweenthePlanets

@joewynne @Taweret @cheribaker Yeah point 1, that was a great start to the year :D

#monsterdon #WarBetweenThePlanets

@moira "We have to blow up the butt's heart" sounds like such a Futurama line. #Monsterdon #WarBetweenThePlanets

That was exhausting!!

🥳 What a great way to start our #Monsterdon year
@Taweret !!

🤔 Bingo card required some interesting interpretation at times, @cheribaker ! Good one!

🧐 And to the Real-Time Film Analysis Team ...
It was an exceptionally intense and snarky scroll. At times it looked like a blurred slot machine window. Will have to respond to some toots later.

👹 Wishing that all of your monsters stay on the screen...See you next week!!!

@diazona @clayknight "series" is a bit too strong, here is the synopsis of the fourth one

> A mysterious beast kills almost everyone at a weather station at the North Pole, taking one person captive. The Gamma One team of Jackson and Pulaski are called in to investigate.

Sounds like it at least has a monster though? #monsterdon

The Stuff (1985)

https://tube.me.jon-e.net/videos/watch/956f549f-94c8-46d7-beed-6624da52229d

@lysdexic This is the best summary

#Monsterdon

@clayknight Someone said it was the third in a four-part series

#Monsterdon

@Zerofactorial @plaidtron3000 yeah yeah, that's how you get half-terraformed planets, artificial men, chestbursters, I know the routine

#monsterdon #WarBetweenThePlanets

I love going into total mixed bag #monsterdon movies like this that I might not ever check out otherwise. This seemingly still only has an SD transfer!

Thanks as always to @Taweret for organizing!

@steggy you really never know what you're going to get

#Monsterdon

@plaidtron3000 @Zerofactorial That I'm chasing this guy!

No wait, shit, he's chasing me.

#monsterdon #WarBetweenThePlanets

@plaidtron3000 @moira Never. Forget. Space. Eggs. #monsterdon

@Zerofactorial @moira Sorry, never forget what?
#monsterdon

@diazona yeaaaaah not so much with rosemary

cheese tho

moon cheese preferably, of course

#monsterdon #WarBetweenThePlanets

@moira Worst case you can just use raspberry jam

I mean, space raspberry jam

Which might also be magma

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe https://www.scottdstrader.com/blog/echo/?p=5437

"four sci-fi films loosely connected by the same space station (Gamma One), the same sets, and the same characters"

so that's a no then #monsterdon

@moira All that can be done is to have a somber graveside service vowing to never forget #monsterdon

@aburka @CactuarJoe So this is like an Italian Quartermass series? Just a space station instead of a professor linking the stories? #Monsterdon

@Zerofactorial if only I'd understood the message in its strange winds!

#monsterdon #WarBetweenThePlanets

@aburka Oh I'd be shocked. Not saying we shouldn't watch them, though, this one was hilarious :D #Monsterdon

@moira The rotating bagel device was trying to warn you! #monsterdon

oh goddammit i got distracted by #monsterdon and fucked up the bagels

i forgot the egg coating

#monsterdon #WarBetweenThePlanets #baking #bagels

I hope they pronounce that acronym "You disco?"
#Monsterdon

So today we learned that there are things more baffling than a corpse turned into a walking tree #monsterdon

Best part of that whole movie was Toby flying into the COLD GEYSER and spontaneously combusting :D #Monsterdon

So wow that was definitely a movie! Big Thunderbirds vibes, a big meaty planetoid, and lots of Space Problems. Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!!! #Monsterdon

And, I guess the planet turned out to be alive, right? With the arteries and the moist pulsating cave?

But nobody cared? Or ever really talked about it?

So ... why?

#monsterdon

@Zerofactorial more like War Between The Shits. #monsterdon

I did love the design of the film!
#Monsterdon

War Between the Sheets #monsterdon

A saucy film with chesty boxing and pirouetting space dancers. What's not to love? Goodnight, Monster people!

Thanks, @Taweret.

#Monsterdon

@jonny Add farting noises. Save me the trouble. #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe The title in Italian was apparently "The Wandering Planet" which is much more accurate #monsterdon

...monster planet blowed up by selfless spacemen, Commander Asshole and his Space Lady fuck off up some stairs with orphan boy, planet is safe!

THE END

another delightful #Monsterdon thanks @Taweret

I still want to know what that spinny thing on their console was for but still great silly fun!

#monsterdon

*double* BINGO

@yatsu On the other hand, nuking a neighbor who won't stop farting is absolutely justified. #Monsterdon

If only there'd been some smooching I coulda got my Bingo

#monsterdon
#WarBetweenThePlanets

@steggy oh I know, there was even a sea of marinara sauce RIGHT THERE

#Monsterdon

that movie might have made no sense but i am immediately opening it in a video editor to take clips from it because it had some magnificent moments #monsterdon

One thing you can say for this one: Something was always happening. It wasn't always necessarily in sequence or having to make sense but SOMETHING was always going on. Thanks again everyone! and Thanks once more to @Taweret for hosting! #Monsterdon #WarBetweenThePlanets

Great job, team #monsterdon and thanks to @Taweret as always for hosting ^_^

#monsterdon #WarBetweenThePlanets

so it wasn't so much War of the Planets as Suicide Bombing of This One Specific Planet Coz We Didn't Like Its Wind. #monsterdon

Yeah, that one's up there with the Magnetic Monster for misleading titles. No War, wasn't really a Planet. I suppose there was technically a Between, but I question the use of a DEFINITE article, surely a general one is good enough. #Monsterdon

WTF did I just watch? #Monsterdon

It was a short and brutal war. Only, not really a war at all #monsterdon

happy #monsterdon youall :D

"We're trapped!"
Oh no! Who could have foreseen the space sphincter closing behind them?
#Monsterdon #WarBetweenthePlanets

Oh good, our loathsome hero gets to live happily ever after with his girlfriend and adopted child, his ex-fiancee didn't even yell at him, great

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon protect the country. Universe. You know. .

That one conifer is looking a bit limp. #Monsterdon

I mean, except for the complete bullshit about a war, I mean

WHAT WAS THE WAR?

WHAT WAS THE WAR, MOTHERFUCKER?

#monsterdon #WarBetweenThePlanets

The actor who played Ricky really nailed it #Monsterdon

@moira ♫♪ I fought the ball and the

ball won ♪♫ #Monsterdon

Where was the war tho #Monsterdon #WarBetweenThePlanets

With the spaghetti menace dealt with #monsterdon goes in search of new movies to mock.

This was pretty much great until they hit the breaks on everything for a while before getting to Planet Butt

#monsterdon #WarBetweenThePlanets

The orphan's hair strangely matches his new mommy and daddy's hair. Convenient. #monsterdon

@Taweret and won!

#monsterdon #WarBetweenThePlanets

Most boring HFY ever. Great soundtrack though. -6/10 #monsterdon

look, everybody, a nice nuclear family to end our movie with... #barf #monsterdon

so in conclusion, they tampered in god's domain

ty for joining, everyone!!

#monsterdon

@steggy if. only.

#monsterdon #WarBetweenThePlanets

SPACOM!

#monsterdon
#WarBetweenThePlanets

KEEP WATCHING THE SKIES

KEEP WATCHING THE MARINARA SAUCE #Monsterdon

There is still time for Rod to fuck off into the sea. Please. #Monsterdon

The brunette soldier who died and left an orphan child... the child has red hair. But the commander who is totally unrelated to the child also has red hair. Tell me more. #monsterdon

@RobynGoodfellow they had to resolve the love triangle somehow? #monsterdon

That was one lame ass interplanetary war. #monsterdon

"Two men, one ideal"

I completely read that as "two guys, only one of which was cool actually"

#Monsterdon #WarBetweenThePlanets

"one ideal" would the narrator like to step in and tell us what that was? or... no? #monsterdon

"...for their country [Earth]" #Monsterdon

Don't worry folks, Christian churches will still exist in the future

#Monsterdon

bye bye living planet #monsterdon

And we end at the beginning of The Godfather Part II. #Monsterdon
