Finally, united for the first time. The Mighty Space Goggles.

Watched The Day the Earth stood still(1951), and yeah. This man watched it religiously as a child.

I may also be drawing connections that aren’t there but there’s some little things I can notice. Quirks, morality. Potentially just brain rot effecting how I see other movies but considering his literal connection to it- at least with a quote.

It’s also a fantastic movie in its own right, I really love thoughtful movies and metaphor and - people need to stop looking down at old movies because costumes are silly by todays standard.

The Colossus of New York theatrical trailer

In The Unknown Terror, a millionaire (John Howard) leads a remote jungle expedition to find the legendary “Cave of the Dead” where his wife’s (Mala Powers) brother had disappeared long ago. Instead, they stumble upon a mad doctor who has created a horde of foam-spewing, fungus-covered monster-men. In The Colossus of New York, when a brilliant scientist (Ross Martin) is accidentally killed, his preserved brain is transferred to the body of a giant robot so that it can continue to serve mankind. But when it gains awareness of its own hideousness, this steel colossus embarks on a rampage of destruction. In Destination Inner Space, when an object of unknown origin is detected in the area of an underwater laboratory, scientists investigate and come face to face with the object—an extraterrestrial saucer! They board the craft and discover a mysterious cylinder, which they take back to the lab for closer inspection. It is then that events take a monstrous turn!
