Looking at the IMDB page for tonight’s #Monsterdon film, “Invasion: UFO” (1980) and hoooo boy it’s one-a THOSE films, huh
Anyways heeeeeere weeeeee goooooo

Sticking rockets to the title is one way to keep it from going stale.

Or for people to know what they’re watching. Probably kept some butts in seats.

“What do submariners even wear? They’re marine people, like mermen, right? Live under the sea? Breathing water? Fuck! What the fuck would they wear? Something marine. Beach shorts? Fuck shorts! Nothing baggy! I want to see both ass creases from the FRONT, you hear me???! Oh God-fish things, boats, aqua-FISHNETS! And they’re NUDE FISHNETS! Fish! Nets! Nipples! It’s fucking perfect!! Fuck!”

“We know that these beings are capable of traveling across billions of miles - can someone tell the astronomers to stop laughing when I’m trying to talk - so what could they possibly need from us besides, obviously, biological pumps and filters.”
“But sir, if they can make ships like that and we can make dialysis mac-“
“SHUT UP ABOUT THE DIALYSIS MACHINES”

I can’t WAIT to hear 80s era northern Canadians pronounce “UFOs”.

Whose 6th grader do we have to thank for these lovely diorama backdrops?

Even the surgical masks are weird.

#Monsterdon
This entire movie
#Monsterdon
Oh shit they were mimics the whole time
Truly this is an incredible twist and a profound commentary on the duplicity of man and not at all an economic use of like 187 total minutes of raw footage
#Monsterdon
THEY EVEN RUN LIKE PLAYMOBILE FIGURES

@WhiteCatTamer reminds me of that Stargate SG-1 plot with Harlan and the robots except, y'know, that was competently executed

@WhiteCatTamer I never realised that this was a thing that I wanted to experience until just right now.

@WhiteCatTamer Those wigs were Sylvia's idea. She thought they were cool.

@Lazarou @moira Leave it to the 80s to imagine a better future would involve Lego-like hairstyles you can swap on a dime.

Probably leftover frustration with all that hairspray. XD
