#Monsterdon is a weekly fediverse community event (Sundays @ 9 PM ET) where a bunch of folks watch a monster/SF movie of some description in sync with each other and post about it. Partial list of past movies: https://wiki.neuromatch.social/Monsterdon#Movie_List

Tuning in very late, what'd I miss?
Okay, mummy, stolen gems, fungus, and Other Stuff™, got it
Ah, your necklace is glowing *and* warm? Well, that seems fine, nothing amiss there.
huh, reasonably accurate mention of CDC Atlanta
meanwhile, in the plumbing system
SURGICAL LASERS MENTIONED
So the mummy is dialing the gate, or something
this movie's got some great equipment in it, really punching above its weight class.
hehe rat actor cuties 
surprise Coneheads mention
oh, the rats are in the fraternity?
[slideshow continues]
a QUANTUM LEAP
I was about to ask why the mummy has green vision but then I remembered it's an alien mummy, so actually yea the movie explained this one
oh, mummy ham radio
curse this abundance of lab space and its long hallways!
quickly, into the elevator shaft, a much more dangerous place!
mummy want crystal
the mummy's dial-home device does look pretty dang good for 1982, I'll say that
I love that the one guy's overacting is so bad that they had to dub his line
holy fuck, the alien mummy gets an incredible magical girl transformation sequence
why was there a fungus tho
the transformation sequence was worth all the rest of it, I could cry
#Monsterdon #MagicalGirlTransformationsOfMonsterdon #WhyWasThereAFungusTho
this is the weirdest story from the alien mummy's perspective
> come down to earth
> there's a fungus?
> egyptians are dickheads to me
> get mummified
> wake up three thousand years later
> those dickheads stole my crystals
> get crystals
> get unmummified
> turn into crystal
> refuse to explain
I just wanna know why there was a fungus but I guess the fungus was going to be explained in the sequel
bold move to assume people will want to see a second movie when you didn't bother to use writing when making the first one
@starringthecomputer does have TIME WALKER in its database, the reactor control computer is an Atari 800
@starringthecomputer if you'd like some higher-quality stills from TIME WALKER showing the computer, here's a few I just captured.
I notice the DB also does not show this other system which looks to me like it might be a modified Data General Dasher?
@SnoopJ i will admit he doesn't owe any of these guys an explanation
@SnoopJ
Wait, did he turn into a crystal at the end? I thought it was some sort of offworld transport?
@kcarr2015 @SnoopJ That's probably the "refuse to explain" part
but yes I also thought he transported somewhere (probably to a ship) with the professor and the crystal got left behind as a side effect
@SnoopJ @kcarr2015 Yeah but there was one in his chest which could have been special and transport-resistant
for all we know 🤷
ALT TEXT: Image showing three men watching "Time Walker". One has a neutral expression, one has an expression of light disbelief at the "TO BE CONTINUED" in the credits, and the one in the center has a fearful expression and is leaning slightly back from the screen
@jonny hey WAIT A FUCKING SECOND this scene has actual slow-mo but every other slow-mo in the movie was a slide-show?
WHAT?!
