Me and Miss Anastasia getting settled in on the couch for

Also I'm feeling compelled to remind lovers of ridiculous movies that Moonfall exists.

Also as we're doing another Victorian adaptation, I want the community to know that when I was crashing with my parents during my big move last December, I found no fewer than 3 different printings of Verne's Mysterious Island on my dad's shelves without even looking that hard.

You know. THAT Mysterious Island.

I don't think this is how landing on the moon works at all.

I love this old guy with his prosthetic forehead wrinkles and his corpse makeup.

Is this old guy about to tell us the story of the time he went to THE MOON to escape debt collectors and also to find a quiet place to write!? Because honestly, relatable.

I wonder if there were so many Victorian period pieces in the 60s because the Victorians loved bright colors (when they weren't choking on smog) and Technicolor in the 60s was relatively new and exciting.

Sir I'm pretty sure your real estate concerns can wait until there is less fire.

Miss Anastasia would like to know why they’re not on the moon yet.

Was there really no better place to put the furnace? Does there need to be a huge pile of coal in the living room? Is this supposed to show how Eccentric™️ he is?

This science is dubious even by Monsterdon standards.

Okay, that antigravity explosion was some legit model work.

Love it when we get a caption that just says "(SQUELCHING)".

If I was Kate I would have just fucked off back to Earth and left these guys to die.

Also extremely British: Giving the natives a name based entirely on your own cultural contexts and insisting on only using that name.

This bug is friend-shaped, just not friend-sized.

Moon Guy is like, "Yes, tell me more about this... imperialism. :3"

Honestly if I was an alien and I met this guy I'd want to eradicate all humans just to be safe too.

And the UN astronauts discover that the Selunites all died of smallpox, the end.

It took its sweet time getting started this week but once it did it was firing on all cylinders. I would still like to lodge a complaint about the caterpillar skeleton. Thanks to @Taweret for hosting and see y'all next week!

@trixter Miss Anastasia deserves to see the Moon Cows!

@trixter honestly the model work has been pretty good in general

@trixter Perfectly normal Monsterdon science. Bugs have bones.

@trixter So many things in this film were driven by simple randomness. Someone falling, someone bumps a lever, someone forgets a burning furnace. And then the accidental genocide of an entire civilization. Which no one feels the tiniest bit of remorse about.

@paco Yeah that "He did have such a terrible cold" at the end in response to GENOCIDE was a bit 😬

@trixter Atleast we haven't misidentified any animals... yet.
