Folks it is now, erm, almost a half hour until #Monsterdon the weekly monster movie watch party. If you don't want to see a flood of toots, consider muting the tag.
If you'd like to join in, this week we're watching FIRST MEN IN THE MOON (1964) an adaptation of an HG Wells classic. Which tend to be either gently hokey or absolute crap. Fun!
It's on Tubi or over here on Archive.org: https://archive.org/details/first-men-in-the-moon_202501
We start at 9pm Eastern! See you there!
Fifteen minutes remain until #MONSTERDON! Cue up the movie and get your snacks ready, we're GOING TO THE MOON
