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?

#Monsterdon

OMG, this dialog is horrible!

#Monsterdon

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.

jeezus, canadian foxes are big #monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

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

I did not expect a giant chicken.

#Monsterdon

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

Lady steps out pointing a shotgun at him.

#Monsterdon

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

#Monsterdon

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!

#Monsterdon

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

#Monsterdon

“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.

#Monsterdon

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

#Monsterdon

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

#Monsterdon

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

#Monsterdon

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?

#Monsterdon

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

#Monsterdon

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

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

#Monsterdon

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

#Monsterdon

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.

#Monsterdon

What happens when that little generator runs out of gas?

#Monsterdon

These rat head puppets they’re using are actually pretty cute. I bet it was hard not to laugh during these shots.

#Monsterdon

“Looks like the white one’s the leader.”

Called it!

“Lorna, can you handle one of these?”

“Sure!”

“Have you ever shot one?”

“No.”

“Terrific! Here. Have fun!”

#Monsterdon

Wow! Lorna’s first shot with a shotgun is pretty good.

#Monsterdon

Marjoe, she’s throwing herself at you, and you just brushed her off.

#Monsterdon

This movie just got extremely philosophical:

From the time we are born, until the time we die, life is just about finding something to do.

#Monsterdon

I like all the detail that went into making the scale model of the cabin.

#Monsterdon

Is there anything Lorna can’t do? She just delivered a baby like there was nothing to it!

#Monsterdon

Now that it’s clear they’ll live, will Morgan make love to Lorna?

#Monsterdon

Well, that was a movie! Having known nothing about this movie before going into it, I assumed the food would be something more sinister, like soylent green.

Thanks, as always, to @Taweret for hosting, @cherizilla for #MonsterdonBingo, @JoeWynne for the theme drink, @ryan for the stream, and to all of you for making it awesome!
