#NowWatching Dark Match (2024)

I have to start this one over because I've been on the phone for most of it.

Seems like GLOW but with murders.

#TheLastDriveIn

Poster art for Dark Match.

A woman in a one piece (like a swim suit) is holding a large metal chain. There's a glowing symbol, sort of like a rune of some kind, behind her. There's fire or blood or whatever happening here, coming off the symbol or something.

Some other characters from the film are arranged around parts of the symbol, but I'm not sure how to describe them.

I actually just finished this one. I saw _most of it_ last week, so I sort of did any% tonight.

Pretty fun. Not great, but still fun.

Poster art for Earth vs. The Spider.

A large spider is climbing up from the lower right side of the poster toward a woman who appears to have fallen. There are a bunch of cops with guns aimed at the giant spider.

"Bullets won't kill it! Flames can't hurt it! Nothing can stop it!"

I missed most of #TheLastDriveIn last week, so I'm rolling it again tonight. This time I have my Drive-in Movie candle lit.

Finally watching Dark Match. I have totally lost the plot. What is even happening?

Darcy: And you wouldn’t give me Scream or Halloween III, so
Joe Bob: Well I’d give you Scream, if I was in charge of Shudder

I’m not into wrestling but I’m finding Dark Match more interesting than I expected.

@bk1e EARTH VS THE SPIDER (1958) is available on Tubi as well as the Internet Archive, and appearing in #TheLastDriveIn is certainly a big vote of confidence!

It also has a magnificent poster: https://beige.party/@puffer/114639397380973728

These kids really get on my nerves.

This is hillbilly pizza, not Italian. They're making it on the deck. LOL

Is it just my imagination or is that spider saying "home, home, home" over and over in his growl?

#TheLastDriveIn

ROFL

"I'll buy you another bracelet."
"It won't be the same as the one by father died going to buy for me."
"Yeah, I'm broke anyway."

It’s hard to get a bead on the scale of the giant spider. Fits in a gymnasium and is also as big as a house?

Found an eBay auction for a “Flamer: the electric football” from that ad.

The difference in this and The Blob, is that Steve and Jane were trying to help people. These kids have just been selfish and reckless with other people's safety.

That dance scene was no joke really good. Great example of classic East Coast Swing.

Great article about dames of sci-fi.
