Tonight on #Monsterdon 🧌 ❓ (Swamp Thing, 1982). I'll be rather chatty, starting at 20:00 CDT (UT-5), so if you don't like silly commentary on a monster movie, you'll want to mute the hashtag.

If that's your thing, however, feel free to watch it with us!

An unmapped swamp.

An era before ubiquoitous earth observation satellites?

#Monsterdon #SwampThing1982

Yes, coast guard helicopters

#Monsterdon #SwampThing1982

Gators near washington... is this a joke about DC being built on a swamp?

#Monsterdon #SwampThing1982

Oh, gators like wolverines

#Monsterdon #SwampThing1982

Back when fingerprint scanners were futuretech to show your secret base was cool

#Monsterdon #SwampThing1982

Okay, I buy Holland's attitude on nature and why swamps are interesting, but eugh...

#Monsterdon #SwampThing1982

Why is the water glowing green?

#Monsterdon #SwampThing1982

Plausible lab notebook

#Monsterdon #SwampThing1982

Yes, desert tomatoes.

Also, 2001 came and went and we have so much corn we also burn some of it in our cars

#Monsterdon #SwampThing1982

Oh, the militia guys are for a rival lab or something. Like something out of a William Gibson novel.

#Monsterdon #SwampThing1982

Wes Craven's Face/Off

#Monsterdon #SwampThing1982

The stuntman must have had an interesting time with that fire

#Monsterdon #SwampThing1982

This is some comic book lighting and explosions

#Monsterdon #SwampThing1982

The evil german has a good study, and I do appreciate the lab notebooks being a minor plot point.

#Monsterdon #SwampThing1982

Coffee is served.

#Monsterdon #SwampThing1982

Swamp thing thinks you need a convertable

#Monsterdon #SwampThing1982

ABDOMINAL SNOWMAN

#Monsterdon #SwampThing1982

I was expecting rambo to try shooting the swamp thing

#Monsterdon #SwampThing1982

Airboat on swamp thing: less effective than a steam boat on cthulhu

#Monsterdon #SwampThing1982

I'm pretty sure swamp thing hasn't actually killed anyone yet, somehow.

#Monsterdon #SwampThing1982

oh, right, I healing powers

#Monsterdon #SwampThing1982

So, uh, do arms grow back?

#Monsterdon #SwampThing1982

Why does that boat have a candelabra?

#Monsterdon #SwampThing1982

Huh, actual nudity

#Monsterdon #SwampThing1982

I thought the villains didn't get the 7th notebook, so...

#Monsterdon #SwampThing1982

Okay, so the formula works in terms of getting you STR and CON based off of your INT and WIL.

#Monsterdon #SwampThing1982

Okay, but Cable was out in the sunlight for a long time after initially losing his arm. Why didn't it regrow until now?

#Monsterdon #SwampThing1982

A pig monster with a sword? Go on...

#Monsterdon #SwampThing1982

Assistive devices exist, sir.

#Monsterdon #SwampThing1982

Fire Gag Stuntman in the credits, hm

#Monsterdon #SwampThing1982

I'm not sure how I feel about this. Like, it was a better movie than a lot, but comic book adaptations... (why would the scientist fuck off into the swamp and not try to get back to science? Also, this really is a case where better special effects would help)

#Monsterdon #SwampThing1982

High score (and no, I'm not willing to check the ambiguous ones this time)
