In two hours, it’s #Monsterdon!

This week, we’re watching The Food of the Gods (1976). What tasty treats do gods prefer? I guess we’ll find out.

Join us by starting the movie at 8pm Central (01:00 UTC), following the #Monsterdon hashtag, and contributing your own silly commentary.

What’s this dramatic freeze-frame thing they’re doing whenever a credit appears on screen?

Ben Ramsey Sep 29, 2025

OMG, this dialog is horrible!

Guy in the red coat must really like the taste of baby deer.

Notice how he’s wearing red. That means he's the first to go.

Marjoe is like the Paul Bunyan or John Mastodon of #Monsterdon

I did not expect a giant chicken.

Ben Ramsey Sep 29, 2025

“Hey, you know those bastards almost killed me!”

Lady steps out pointing a shotgun at him.

Ben Ramsey Sep 29, 2025

I think Marjoe made this movie as penance for his preaching years when he was a toddler (look it up).

Ben Ramsey Sep 29, 2025

Lady, when a gigantic grub worm the size of a kitten is biting your arm, the correct reaction is to shake your hand and fling that thing across the room. Don’t just stare at it!

Ben Ramsey Sep 29, 2025

Oh, you know. Just speeding down a dirt road by a car with the door ripped off, blood everywhere, and body parts strewn all about. nbd

Ben Ramsey Sep 29, 2025

“How do we know these dead giant chickens weren’t made out of plaster of paris and a bunch of ostrich feathers?”

Like, dude, get down on the ground and take a closer look. I’m no forensics expert or “bacteriologist,” but I’m pretty sure I can tell whether a dead chicken is made of plaster of paris.

Ben Ramsey Sep 29, 2025

“At first, we thought it was oil…even though it looks absolutely nothing like oil.”

Ben Ramsey Sep 29, 2025

Swatting a shovel around at a bunch of wasps doesn’t seem like a very smart thing to do, even for normal-sized wasps.

Ben Ramsey Sep 29, 2025

In that moment Marjoe gave the asshole what-for, the bacteriologist fell in love with him.

Ben Ramsey Sep 29, 2025

Notice the guy doesn’t try to deny that he no longer finds his partner attractive now that she’s pregnant.

Is everyone in this movie an asshole?

Ben Ramsey Sep 29, 2025

It’s the tried-and-true pour-gasoline-on-the-nest method.

Ben Ramsey Sep 29, 2025

“You're not a good man, Mr. Bensington!”

That's the closest we're going to get to hearing Mrs. Skinner say, “fuck you.”

Ben Ramsey Sep 29, 2025

Is the albino rat their leader? Is it the one calling all the shots?

Ben Ramsey Sep 29, 2025

They want to charge the fence with electricity, even though that wire is pinned directly onto wooden posts, and touches the ground along the bottom, so the electricity will go straight into the ground.

Ben Ramsey Sep 29, 2025

What happens when that little generator runs out of gas?

@ramsey I think that's par for the course with 70s movies

@ramsey I think they were short on footage.
