Krull (1983) is the movie for this Sunday's "monsterdon" watch party over on Mastodon, our fediverse sibling!

  • Just start watching that movie this Sunday, April 13, 2025 at 9pm ET / 8pm CT / 6pm PT which is 1am Monday UTC
  • and follow #monsterdon over on mastodon for live commentary. For example, you can follow that hashtag here: https://mastodon.social/tags/monsterdon
  • I usually open two web browser windows on a computer side-by-side. But you could follow the mastodon commentary on a phone app while watching the movie on TV or something.

How to watch the movie:

Krull is a 1983 British[1] science fantasy adventure film[2] ... The story follows Prince Colwyn (Marshall) and a fellowship of companions who set out to rescue his bride, Princess Lyssa (Anthony), from a fortress of alien invaders who have arrived on their home planet.

...

The film was a box-office bomb upon release, and critical opinion has been mixed, both upon release and in retrospect. Numerous reviewers have highlighted its visual effects and soundtrack, while several critics have criticized its plot as being derivative and nonsensical. In the years since its release, the film has developed a cult following.

Just watched this with my kids last week. Corny but classic. Has a few great actors in it too- and a young Liam Neeson!

I loved this film as a kid, watched it almost every weekend.

Time to have another go.

I love this movie. Not in the so bad is good sense. I know it's cheesy but the glaive was really cool, the bad guys died cool, the good guys died cool, and the quest is really cool.

I think the ending was really weak and the bad guy was gross but otherwise completely uninteresting. But I love the movie. Super creative, super visionary, and it worked.
