#Monsterdon 🧵 for Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster (1965)

…Futurama?? In Futura, no less.

#Monsterdon

Okay, I knew about Frankenstein and the Space Monster, but I didn't know Nosferatu was in this too

#Monsterdon

"I'm absolutely confident that nothing can go wrong."

Now you've done it, schmuck!!!!!

#Monsterdon

…And the Kentucky Fried Chicken guy???

#Monsterdon

"Why were you selected for this mission?"
"IDK they asked ChatGPT or something"

#Monsterdon

Wow, they're combining the risk of a crewed mission with the shortcomings of a robotic mission.

On one hand, I do see the upside of "if it goes horribly wrong, no one actually died" but on the other, , ,

#Monsterdon

Okay, I know "newsreel/stock footage with a backing track" is a cheap and lazy way to do a montage, but I don't actually mind it

I'm gonna post this separately later for visibility, but since we're on the topic—imagine a parody of "Science Fiction Double Feature" about all the various Monsterdon movies.

So you're telling me Mars quite literally needs women

#Monsterdon

"Poorly programmed and malfunctioning astronaut robot crash-lands in Puerto Rico and assumes he's on Mars" could be a wacky and probably only slightly racist comedy in the right hands

#Monsterdon

I know the tone is rather different but this song is giving me Peter & Gordon "World Without Love" vibes https://youtu.be/Tdx6lLvvRyg

Any excuse to post Davila 666's cover of "Hanging on the Telephone": https://youtu.be/cuy0ZLanLao?t=28 🇵🇷

Ron Howard voice That's the name of the show!

okay so no one actually said it but we all know it

#Monsterdon

I want to believe that every name in these credits is that job's version of "Alan Smithee" because who would want their name on this thing

#Monsterdon

Thanks @Taweret for hosting, @miru for the stream, @Cherizilla for bingo, and all of you funny people for making this even somewhat bearable!

I did make a comment elsewhere about how the music was knock-offs of numerous styles and that's to be included. They also knocked off Johnny Rivers, Frank Sinatra, Billy VAughn, early Beatles, and others--and did a fine job of that. #DistantCousins
Of all the people associated with this film, Distant Cousins displayed the most talent.

I like this idea- my contributions for evaluation:
verse: 🎶 we never did say nope, to classic Toho*Scope"

Chorus: 🎶 Sunday night (mon-ster-don) monster Movie

something something going the hardest for United Artists

and a MoosCow method list of even less developed ideas:
---
Must have: Octaman, Dental Dam Lady from the previous Mars Movie, sheep thing from GodMonster
Should have: MimeCop, banjoManDog, corn rigs
Could have: Giant spider made out of VW bug, Shelley Winters' sombrero, barley rigs
Won't have: Star Creatures, Grizzly (I KID!)
