Halloween Approacheth 2023 - Friday of MEA Weekend: Robot Monster

Friday, October 20, 2023

A few years ago at the Blue Moon Dine In Theater at the Minnesota State Fair Dale and I caught the end of a movie titled Robot Monster. My memory about it was jogged when a posting of the film turned up on Instagram. I looked it up online and discovered it's been billed as the 2nd worst movie in the world next to Plan 9 from Outer Space. 

Ro-Man

Dale and I watched it tonight for the hell of it and I really don't see how Plan 9 could be any worse (never seen it). Despite the low-budget quality the film was financially successful. 

The plot involves a race of space beings called Ro-Men who wipe out the human race, or so they think. There were a few survivors so the job needs to be finished. 

The male lead was played by George Nader who was a close friend and confidant of Rock Hudson.

Ealier today Dale and I went to The Howe for lunch. Dale got the tuna poke bowl and a beer. I started with a maple Old Fashioned. For food I got the wild rice pot pie which was savory and delicious. Very fall-like.
