Tonight on #monsterdon ☢️ 💥 📅 (In the year 2889, 1969). I'll be rather chatty starting somewhat before 01:00 UTC (21:00 EDT, 18:00 CDT), so if you don't want silly commentary on a cheesy old movie, mute the hashtag.
But if you enjoy MST3King things and watch-alongs, feel free to join in. This time the movie is already in the public domain, so besides places like tubi you can source it from the internet archive or even wikipedia!
So apparently this is a remake of a Roger Corman film. Hm...
Fastest time to mushroom cloud
632 Roentgen per hour?
Also, does this imply that the war was started by China?
Ted "Cave" Johnson here
Also, only 1000 bombs? Sounds low.
Nice that they show an actual geiger counter, but I'm surprised it can read that high.
Also sir, it takes *time* for acute radiation sickness to kill you
47 R/h will get you into agonizing death range in a matter of hours.
But also a lot of the nastier fallout will decay in days to weeks?
LEAD SHIELDING DOES NOT WORK LIKE THAT
If he needs fresh meat, what about that rancher's cows...?
rad-coyote?
rad-hawk?
So, uh, the 2889 apparently doesn't mean anything. It's a left over title from another work (an adaptation of a Jules Verne story) that was never made by the studio.
So, what happens when they run out of cigarettes?
Yeah, he (Granger?) is a ghoul now
"Defies all the laws of man and god" feels like someone's goals
EVOLUTION DOES NOT WORK LIKE THAT
Okay, but if you end up able to subsist on local game, is that really a *bad* outcome?
It has been weeks since the bombs, sir.
...a pool is natural?
Yeah, Iodine-131 has a half-life of 8 days, so at least 85% of it has already decayed. Maybe way more depending on the time
So, was the lesbian interpretation intentional or...?
Psychic powers after the apocalypse? Okay
Wait, how much whisky did the rancher bring? Is he traveling back and forth from his place?
behold a chipmunk!
(okay, these are an okay explanation of the monster bit for this)
Sometimes I have a feeling of doom. Probably from those imps wandering the valley and throwing fireballs
Was this this bit about mutants getting closer at night vaguely inspired by I am Legend?
Please do not the record
I bet those are 10x50 binoculars
This movie has a lot of people rolling down hills
So, speaking of radioactive fog, what if we put on Dreams (Akira Kurosawa) instead?
Punctures but not from a vampire
I'm getting swimming sound effects (bad ones), so did I get the good audio copy?
Monster please kill this guy
With 7 minutes to go the monster does something?
...why does he have a luger as opposed to eg: an M1 or M3?
Are my wehraboo vibes tingling?
A bunch of temporary monsters that die as the world recovers, sure. Could be good in a good movie
And the movie fucks off into the beginning with gunfire that feels cut off
What qualifies as the worst movie of the year is ambiguous, but this was definitely in the running
