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!

We start at 9pm Eastern! See you there!

Back to #Monsterdon tonight with a childhood favorite, First Men in the Moon (1964), based on the H. G. Wells classic. Let’s see if it still holds up.
