Expect me to be a bit spammy starting at 02:00 UTC, so mute this if you're not into it. Or watch the movie and live-toot with us if you are!
Looks like we're starting with cool music and a picture of M 33?
These spiders need Jesus?
Preachers are above the law. You heard it here first.
RED PHONES ARE HOT
Why did the stock footage include a Saturn V? Is that supposed to represent NASA/Science(tm)?
I can't help, but think that an x-ray source detected at long range would be frying the townfolk?
Spiderwebs. It's a start.
So the B-52 crashed?
Accurate quick overview of stellar stuff, but I'm bothered by them showing the Pleiades instead of an H-R diagram.
Okay, nevermind. That lecture went off the rails.
Oh, good. Finally someone comments on the radiation levels being dangerous.
So, how quickly can a giant spider skeletonize a cow?
Velikovsky namedrop, compare with Invasion of the Body Snatchers?
Come on, spider, eat them...
I guess compare those spider egg geodes (with diamonds) with Weaubleau eggs. (which probably come from an impact event in Missouri)
Apparently the spiders don't really like the taste of human and gave up quickly.
I'm pretty sure that the sheriff is corrupt enough that you can just cut a deal with him
Okay, finally some larger spiders
"energy photograph"
black holes do not work like that
Go giant spider, go!
The car took out that giant spider :(
Helicopter shot of the spider is cool.
...Did the incestuous pedophile die in a fire?
Yes, spider kaiju!
I do not like this technobabble
Also, an obvious neutron initiator would be PuBe, which unfortunately fits with the movie's scuzzieness
Wait, I'm pretty sure that the spider used pyrokinesis to explode those cars
"I've got a man from NASA and he knows what he's doing!"
I'm pretty sure that bullets are effective against these spiders. Like just use a bigger gun? Or go full 1950s and get a bazooka?
