Anyone who knows me knows that I will go to bat for any movie that has the tagline “MOON MONSTERS LAUNCH ATTACK AGAINST EARTH”. That’s just where my values lie. Try to cancel me if you must.
“HOW CAN SCIENCE MEET THE MENACE OF ASTRAL ASSASSINS? NEW SCIENCE FICTION THRILLS!” We are dangerously and rapidly approaching me throwing out auteur claims about Phil Tucker.
“ADVENTURES INTO THE FUTURE IN NEW TRU-3 DIMENSION!” I have a full erection.
It’s hard to talk about this movie without getting into the spiel that all who know me eventually get into with me which are my various complex thoughts on “is there such thing as being so bad it’s good” or “can you separate liking something with its quality” or “are favorites different than best”, etc. but all I can tell you is that this movie makes me really happy. There is simply no denying, I really like it. It’s so weird and bizarre and nonsensical and fun and in my eyes is so emblematic of a real love I have for the aesthetics and tropes of Vintage B-Movie sci-fi horror shlock, and my love for those is unironic and earnest. So yeah, my heart holds onto Robot Monster. It’s a movie where a Gorilla-Bowl meld creature has an existential crisis and it’s also unclear wether said creature is a Robot or a Monster or an Alien. Could you ask for a better way to spend an hour? I mean it with 100% honesty when I say the Ro-Man is one of my favorite character designs ever. I think it’s so good. That’s the gold standard in my eyes. If you think that says a lot about me, it probably does. But I’ll defend that opinion until the day I die. I want a little statue of him for my desk. He has my heart.
God bless you Robot Monster. You are what cinema was made for. I haven’t seen you since I was a child, but your soul sticks with me every day I walk. In fact, I say on June 10th (Robot Monster release date) we all go into Starbucks and when they ask what the name on the order is, we all say “I am Robot Monster”. I want to do my part to honor a hero.
