How could I loathe a 70s film so much that I was compelled to write a novel giving us the story we should have had?
Wonder no more.
Over on the fediverse (Mastodon), there’s a weekly Old SF Movie Watch Party called Monsterdon. Every Sunday at 8PM Central US Time (9PM Eastern), folks watch a film selected by poll. This week’s winner is Laserblast. I’ll be watching and commenting with the #monsterdon hashtag.
For the record, I don’t recommend watching the movie. But if you must, you can at least join in with a bunch of other folks doing the same.
I do, however, encourage you to give me money for dismantling Laserblast.
I also encourage hanging out with folks and watching old monster movies. Taweret does a fantastic job running Monsterdon. They’re pretty much speedrunning my childhood, and I love them for it. (How did I get this way? 3:30PM Saturday. Channel 50. Creature Feature, right before Star Trek. Add in the Ghoul and Sir Graves Ghastly, and what more could a young maniac boy need?)
