In ONE HOUR #MONSTERDON returns! Every Sunday at 9pm EST we watch a monster movie and toot about it! If that sounds annoying, prepare to filter the hashtag.

This week we're watching THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME (1979)! Jack Palance is in this? Is Palance to TSoTtC as Plummer was to Starcrash? Only time will tell!

It's free to watch on Tubi, or you can download it over at Archive.org: https://archive.org/details/TheShapeOfThingsToCome19791_20160204

See you there!

I'm super looking forward to #Monsterdon tonight, The Shape of Things to Come is exactly my favorite kind of cheese. People in form-fitting spandex and injection-molded clear plastic bubble helmets waving around "Death Rays" that are in fact squirt guns painted in metallic colors :D

If we're super lucky, they'll actually have an art director with some vision, like Starcrash did. That movie sucks on toast but man those sets and costumes were amazing. :D

Everybody opens with the upskirt shot of the spaceship. Rude. #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

"This is New Washington."

It stunk then and it stinks now! #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

Oh neat, Cybermen. Not like the Doctor Who villains, more like the truck produced by that twerp :P #Monsterdon

This movie brought to you by Pert and Popular brand conditioner. #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

Something tells me the Dalek in command isn't gonna like that. #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

...Actually, this set looks a lot like the one they killed Adric on >> << #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

Ha, the Master Computer sounds like Marvin. "Yeah, the ship's gonna crash. Sounds horrible, I hope it happens." #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

"What's the problem, Kim?"

They started playing the tuba on the soundtrack, Ken, it's ridiculous. #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

"Go ahead Jason."

I guess. Here I am, brain the size of the planet and they ask me for identity confirmation. Call that job satisfaction? 'Cos I don't. #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

"C'moooon Lomax, c'mooooon"

Jeez he's whiny #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,

PANIC! At the Evacuation Disco! #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,

Whoops, so much for the Francis Scott Key Bridge on the Moon. #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

...Are they seriously playing Taps on the synthesizer right now? #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

Mm, boil-in-bag spacesuits! #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,

Hey, Jack! Hi Jack! #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

JACK PALANCE, SUPREME COMMANDER OF THE MOON #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

"We've gotta mobilize Starstreak!"

Which Transformer is that, again? #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

Aw yeah, Betamax robots :D This is my kinda jam :D #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

"Our society has no place for a dictator."

Yeah, that's MY role! #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

...So they sat on the Enterprise and called it Starstreak? #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

"Now I have something to show you!"

Hold up there, robot dude, this may be the future but I don't think I'm ready for that just yet. #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

Man, they've got some heavy styrofoam in the future. #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

...But then I suppose that's what you get for building a nuclear reactor in the beer cooler. #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

"I am in full control of the situation, Senator."

So shut yer yap, fleshie! #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

I liked the flattened Enterprise look better when #StarTrekOnline did it :P #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

MEANWHILE, ON DELTA THREE #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

Oh, Delta 3 is the BBC Quarry Planet. #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

Shoutout to the guy fighting with an oversized pizza pan. #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

THAT'S BOWSER'S CASTLE YOU CLODS #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

So they're bringing cutlery to a ray gun fight? #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

"Okay, so we've gotten to the Very Dangerous Citadel Place! I'm gonna leave all our actual fighters behind and sneak around completely unarmed until something tragic happens! Under no circumstances come to my aid, understood?" #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

...So where's Doctor Kiss? #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

Oh nice, Willy Wonka's Chocolate Halls of Doom #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

Nikki, the Governor of Delta 3. There's some real gravitas in that name, huh. #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

She's about to get Agustus Glooped, isn't she? #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

I don't wanna be a critic about your security system here, Jack, but I feel like having robots that randomly break your shit is probably not the best defense you could get. #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

Also these robots would fail a game of Red Rover #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

Seven years since the last of the great robot wars... When the Roombas rose up... #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

Pretty dramatic music for parallel parking in space. #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

SAUCER SEPARATION!? Shit, I hope SOMEONE sued SOMEONE. #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know... Maybe something about how we're walking a dead world that was conquered almost a decade by (I would assume) violent killbots. Makes me kinda moody." #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

I feel like they could have done something more interesting with the contrast they have between the desaturated Earth colors and those super clean bright white Moon Uniforms.

But that'd be too interesting for this film, I think. After all, we've got more technobabble to get through :P #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

Great idea, ma'am, just walk out into the woods full of Slowly Pulsing Trashbag People, I'm sure nothing bad'll happen. On a completely unrelated note, I'm gonna turn the volume on my headphones way down. #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

No kicky flip on the communicators, lame. #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

...Remember that one scene in MASH where Hawkeye is driving the jeep crazy and Radar's in the passenger seat going "WHEEEEEEE! WOOOOO!"

I was hearing Radar the whole time he was driving that jeep. #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

Kids standing around like, "Director promise you back-end, too? Yeah, I don't buy it either." #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

"Give the kids some drugs! I'm going home now, fuck you guys!" #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

...Aaaaand the kids jump up and begin eating Jason alive.

No?

...Please? #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

So they just dragged the kids out of their shelter so that they could leave them in a field? What were they trying to do here? #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

And the TRIUMPHANT MUSIC swells in the background, as our heroes depart, having solved ALL THE PROBLEMS ON EARTH!

...Right? #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

So they met some kids they couldn't help, found the dude they wanted to get repairs from was dead, and then left.

What, exactly was the point of the last twenty minutes of the film? #MonsterdonClassicsReview

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

"No, no, I'm not tired, I'm just"

Dying. He's dying, we get it, that's LITERALLY his entire character. #Monsterdon

yatsu,
@yatsu@retro.pizza avatar

@CactuarJoe people who think dying of radiation poisoning is a personality. #monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

So the big twist is gonna be Sparks is still under the control of Jack Palance, Moon Emperor, right? #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

DON'T GO INTO THE LONG GRASS!

...Actually, do. Robots vs. Velociraptors sounds like an actually cool monster movie. #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

This movie has the weirdest ideas about when triumphant music is appropriate. #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

"You're the youngest man I know"

...What? What is that supposed to mean? Did we miss some plot point earlier where he's dynamic and ambitious or something? #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

The ship's being sucked into a spirograph drawing! #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

"There is no way of knowing... Which direction he is rooowing..." #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

Oh neat, they're doing The Bolshoi at the Temporal Anomaly #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

What IS this??? #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

okay the super expressive :O :O :O and then the robot's completely blank face got a laugh out of me :D #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

Kim's still Time Dilated to five. She's giving birth to a clock. #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

Heheh, Jack's just sittin' in his chair grinning away

"Wheee, I'm dictator for life, it's fun :D" #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

Why are all these planets Canada? #Monsterdon

yatsu,
@yatsu@retro.pizza avatar

@CactuarJoe Canada contains multitudes. #monsterdon
