This movie has a real Rick Sloane (Hobgoblins, Blood Theatre) feel to it. #monsterdon

This movie wouldn't be so awful it only it weren't trying to get us to root for characters who make terrible decisions.

#monsterdon #Zarkorr1996

Hehe "huge balls of fire"

#Monsterdon #Zarkorr1996

Huh. That guy doing multiple voices on the radio almost sounds like Steven Blum.
#Monsterdon #Zarkorr

That was your five seconds of Monster Footage, now back to this nonsense #monsterdon

#monsterdon #Zarkorr1996

@paco I bet you they could have afforded Art Bell.

#Monsterdon

We are all stuck in this movie right now...
#monsterdon
#zarkorr1996

Why are they talking? They could just be showing more #Zarkorr right now.

#Monsterdon #ZarkorrTheInvader

@whiskeysailor but only one crisco zoologist

#Monsterdon

(I can't keep the cops straight. Or pretty much anybody else, for that matter.

Except for Zarkorr and the tiny mall bimbo.

#Monsterdon #ZarkorrTheInvader1996

what made you think "I could probably force her" should have been spoken by anyone on camera, ever

#monsterdon

why does that voice sound like Spike from Cowboy Bebop?

#monsterdon #karkorr1996

That sounds like Steve Blum on the radio.

#monsterdon #karkorr1996

@cptbutton @Canageek Ah nice confirmation, thank you!

(also "across the water" is doing some heavy lifting here, NYC sprawls so much there are like 3 cities that could describe in NJ, plus many smaller towns)

#Monsterdon

Zarkorr! Less humans! MOAR ZARKORRRR! #Monsterdon

ALL national guard units? Whotf commits all units #Monsterdon

"the Aurora Monster"
"HE'S ZARKORR, CALL HIM BY HIS NAME."

#Monsterdon #Zarkorr1996

I love that they didn't have the budget to film this, so they just had it narrated on the radio. #monsterdon

brom-com

#Monsterdon

Zarkorr on screen time... maybe 2 minutes and 45 seconds? That one wasn't even 30 seconds.
#Monsterdon #Zarkorr

Yes, this is exactly what late night AM radio was like.

#monsterdon

Okay, back to kaiju blowing stuff up. #Monsterdon

I mean it will take him days to get from SoCal to Newark so like he could have called up some other experts or taking a beat before becoming a kidnapper
#monsterdon   

#monsterdon I like how we just get an audio-drama of an entire forest being leveled.

People Making Stupid Decisions With Guns, the Motion Picture! #Monsterdon #ZarkorrTheInvader
#ZarkorrTheInvader1996

#TeamZarkorr

#Monsterdon

Oh noooo I just bought that model house #Monsterdon

Wow that stuff on the radio all sounds really expensive. #monsterdon #Zarkorr1996

#Monsterdon

At this point I want Zarkorr to succeed at it's mission.

#Monsterdon #ZarkorrTheInvader 🦖

ZARKORR! Please destroy us all! Destroy this movie! Make it end!
#Monsterdon #Zarkorr

Meanwhile, in a completely different movie...

#monsterdon #karkorr1996

Haha he said huge balls. #monsterdon

The acting budget was in hundreds of dollars (and they got value for their money!). The special effects budget was in the "used train sets at garage sales" range.

#monsterdon
#zarkorrtheinvader1996

Ah, now this is what we've been missing

#Monsterdon

Yay more of Zarkorr blowing things up!

#Monsterdon #Zarkorr1996

George and Tommy--together again!

#Monsterdon

yes, back to the monster blowing up things!

#monsterdon #karkorr1996

He zap

#monsterdon

To be fair to the cop, there IS a large, buff not-dinosaur stomping around, AND a cut-rate Charlie Sheen in the bathroom, so...

#monsterdon

Meanwhile, blowing up the town’s model railroads. #Monsterdon

This movie is weirder than I thought, but unlike Ultraman, not in a good way. #Monsterdon

Oh no, Zarkorr has reached Splodium County where all the buildings are made of Explodium.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👽👾👦🧚‍♀️🥊🫣 😱

(please drive by a cemetery as this would help my Bingo situation)

I kind of like this circusy music here #Monsterdon

Meanwhile, Zarkor keep exploding dioramas.
#monsterdon
#zarkorr1996

@Canageek Someone else said it was Newark, which is the city in NJ right across the water from NYC.

#Monsterdon

Hey now, someone worked really hard.... well, hardly worked on those models #Monsterdon #ZarkorrTheInvader
#ZarkorrTheInvader1996

She’s convincing at struggling

#Monsterdon #Zarkorr1996

George just giving his squad car up to the man who eats cereal dry, oogh

#monsterdon

Do you think they're going to Grovers Mill, NJ?

#monsterdon

Anyone else thinking of the 2000 S U X commercial from Robocop right now?
#monsterdon #zarkorr

“Assume the position” on your knees cuffed to the sink drain.

Look, I’m trying my best not to judge but the writers aren’t helping. #Monsterdon #ZarkorrTheInvader1996

#monsterdon Let's see if we can stay out of bathrooms for the rest of the film, hmmm?

@YsengrinWolf I thought that's George

and Larry is the one who got tied up

#Monsterdon #Zarkorr1996

@YsengrinWolf I don't watch #monsterdon all that frequently; but I think this is the fastest I've ever said to myself, "this movie is fucking terrible" 😝

oh lol they are just running a fluorescent light just outside of camera, that reflection in the windshield was too telling

#monsterdon

I will respond to your threat of bankruptcy as soon as I've resolved the whole partner pointing a gun at me thing. #Monsterdon

Chekhov's gun is out the window. This is bananas.

#Monsterdon

Meanwhile, we are back to "Not Godzilla"

#Monsterdon

Zarkorr is a really skinny performer.

#Monsterdon #ZarkorrTheInvader1996

Surely there are more crypto zoologist he could have tried
#monsterdon   

"Larry, I love you like a brother, but imma shoot you"

Reminds me of my family …

#Monsterdon #Zarkorr1996

The real hostage situation is all of us watching this movie. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👽👾👦🧚‍♀️🥊🫣 😱

Thank goodness we're back to Zarkorr!

@wyatt_h_knott they're just trying to set (and maintain) expectations. (^_^)

#monsterdon #karkorr1996

So is this movie a comedy, or....? #monsterdon

FFS, I *KNOW* Tommy's story is true, and even I think it sounds like total BS that no-one would ever take at face value.

The writer has put way more faith in his script seeming vaguely reasonable or coherent than the cop's credulity can support.

#Monsterdon #Zarkorr1996

Zarkorr can't arrive soon enough. #Monsterdon

I like how Larry seems to be following the likely case that the gunman is having a psychotic break, but the white cop, George, believes in alien conspiracies.

#monsterdon #Zarkorr1996

Are they saying New Ark or New York?

#Monsterdon

I hope she does. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Good thing the cops only sent two cops to the hostage situation unfolding during a live news broadcast.

The first one is persuaded. One point for rhetoric! #Monsterdon

OK, Larry the cop is now helping the postal worker kidnap the Crisco cryptozoologist.

#Monsterdon #ZarkorrTheInvader1996

"...this is an HR violation George!"

#Monsterdon #ZarkorrTheInvader

As much shit as the Postal Service has been getting lately, I'm surprised there hasn't been a resurgence of going postal.
#Monsterdon

"It's a test of the human race" descriptive of this movie #Monsterdon #ZarkorrTheInvader
#ZarkorrTheInvader1996

Police really gives an uniform for anyone back then
#monsterdon
#zarkorr1996

Shouldn't Zarkorr be there by now?

#monsterdon
#Zarkorr!TheInvader

@cherizilla cubic zirconian dogs just doesn't have the same ring to it, you know?

#monsterdon #Zarkorr1996

Im missing #Monsterdon ! What's the movie?

Technically, anyone we lock up could be the reason civilization ends. #Monsterdon

Why did they gag him?

#Monsterdon

Larry is having a really bad Monday

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon BANG!

So the important plot point here is that mediocre guy, astrology-loving cop, and officer skuze-mee have decided how to save the whole human race.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon This poor cop trying to handle his partner and a hostage situation. At 2 in the morning.

I hate to say it, but the conspiracy cop has been the most fun this whole movie so far 🤣 #Monsterdon #ZarkorrTheInvader

@raederle The final high-note, yes!

#Monsterdon #ZarkorrTheInvader 🦖

#monsterdon It's tough to make fun of a movie that's trying to be zany and failing.

Nice, laser eyes!

#Monsterdon

"Larry, I believe him."
"Why yes, it all sounds so plausible, and not remotely the sort of thing a paranoid fantasist would make up, having been triggered by a giant monster."

#Monsterdon #Zarkorr1996

"If I come out of this alive, I'm going to sue the Newark police department!"

#Monsterdon #ZarkorrTheInvader1996

First time a cop looked at the evidence!
#monsterdon   

For the record, crossing trillions of miles of space is much easier than creating a monster

#Monsterdon #Zarkorr1996

Now the cop has two problems #Monsterdon

@klu9 collateral damage or because she threatened to sue the Newark PD?

#Monsterdon

This may be the most American of scenes I have ever seen.

#Monsterdon #TeamZarkorr
