Folks it is now ONE HOUR until the weekly monster movie watch party. If you want to avoid a bunch of goofy toots about a cheesy monster movie, best set up a hashtag filter.

If you'd like to join in, this week we're watching THE QUATERMASS XPERIMENT (1955), which is full of British astronauts. Gonna be either hilarious or awesome, either is fine by me ^^

This #monsterdon was a remake of a BBC teleplay that was broadcast live and never recorded.

I wish we could reach back into the past and watch those old broadcasts.

The BBC also did a live version of H.G. Well's "The Time Machine" that was supposedly really good, but no recording was made, so who knows.

  1. This toot from Hollie (hollie@social.coop) had 20 favourites.

Every movie we see from the 50's makes me think bras of that era were literally designed to put an eye out
