Folks it is 8pm and that means there's only ONE MORE HOUR until the weekly monster movie watch party! If you want to avoid it, set up a filter now!

If you'd like to join in, this week we're watching BEYOND ATLANTIS (1973), a trashy flick about very stupid mobsters attempting to exploit Atlantean natives, who are also fish people.

No, seriously. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's on Tubi or YouTube over here: youtube.com/watch?v=znou6m2-Cbg

See you at 9!

Ladies and gentlemen I'd like to thank you for flying air we will be taking off in roughly ten minutes and I'd like to take this opportunity to remind you to set up a hashtag filter if you'd like to avoid our festivities tonight.

If you're joining in now's a good time to get the movie cued up and get your snacks ready as we WILL be lifting off very shortly here. Thank you again for joining us tonight and we hope you have a great flight.

Listen, I've seen tonight's film before but I guarantee that's not gonna prevent me from screaming with incredulity at several points this evening. It's that bad of a film.

TURN DOWN YOUR LIGHTS

(where applicable)

And we open with the Beach That Makes You Old. :/

BEYOND ATLANTIS

"Shit, we gotta go back."

Not so much a catamaran as a Can't-amaran.

She's very confused by the opening credits. Which, hey, fair.

And now, the reason this film was made.

Beard's pretty spirit gummy.

Pretty good shot for a man with ping-pong balls over his eyes.

Scene Two: Camera pans onto a pimp. ENGAGE THE CLASSY MUSIC

Oh great, we found Eddie Deezen. Again.

"HE'S DEAD"

Yeah no shit, I got that far >_>

Man don't get buddy-buddy with the pimp, that's not gonna end well. :/

For completeness's sake, they put a ping-pong ball on his head, too.

HARDLY ANY ANIMALS WERE HARMED IN THE MAKING OF THIS FILM

"We don't need him!"

Nobody needs YOU man but here you are.

Aaaaand the pimp giggles like a clown

We are at male perm overload here, folks.

"Deal?"

Sure, I'm a skeezy scumbag, that's great

"~well ♪hello~"

Ew. :/

There goes their antique door, poor guys :/

*Seriously* an unironic purse slap, jesus christ

Suddenly the soundtrack becomes a synthesizer stereotype of China.

"All right, all right, we can have gross nasty 70's white people sex, but THEN we do science."

"Joy-boy"? I do not at all believe that about him.

I'm kind of regretting getting a new TV now. This thing has really good color expression and it's starting to burn the eyes a little bit.

Cactuar Joe

That ANIMAL, he's FLAILING in the poor man's general direction! Knocking him over with air pressure!

"If we get the gear out fast-!"

The film could finish early! Get to it!

"Something's FISHY"

FUCK YOU

Got riffback on that one >_>

Augh, jesus, don't jumpcut in the middle like that, christ D:

DEAR COMPOSER

PICK A GODDAMN GENRE

...Did this guy just invent Noisecore fifty years early?

Aaaaand we're done, okay, apparently that was everything the composer had and he's done now.

aaaaand back to the underwater ballet for no real reason. Someone with ADHD edited this film.

Here's a butt! For you! In the middle of your screen!

Whoops, got a little bike rack there :3

So how come the soundtrack is in stereo and the rest of the film isn't?

...And why is it playing over the dialogue?

Oh that is *entirely* too much fishman buffalo shot :/

I'm not sure I understand the purpose of a fur bikini for swimming.

We GET IT

She's PLANTING PEARLS

Can we MOVE ON or do you have more RACHMANNINOV TO PLAY FOR US

The edited bits of this soundtrack is *unbelievably hilarious* :D

Shot on screen: Slowly picking pearls out of clams

The soundtrack: OONTZ OONTZ OONTZ MATRIX MATRIX MATRIX

The goat's the best character so far.
