we waited one long week and I can't believe the day has finally come and it's time for The Wrestling Women vs. the Aztec Mummy
#Monsterdon

Alright from the very first title card it looks like the Tubi version (left) is substantially different from the archive.org version (right). anyone got any info on the various releases of this movie? #monsterdon

ya woof, the tubi version is like a million times clearer than the archive.org version. idk if that's some "AI upsampling" thing or if it is just a much better restoration #monsterdon

@jonny yikes. Debating if the ads are worth it

@jonny @monsterdon what languages are you doing for audio and subs

@aburka i'm going with the english dub (i don't see the tubi version having spanish audio?) and i'll also grab the english subs in a sec (also don't see other languages there from tubi) but if you want additional sub languages just lmk where they are and i can upload em

@jonny not sure. But @ryan's streaming in Spanish so maybe I'll flip back and forth

@aburka @ryan hell ya glad there's a spanish stream going on too

@jonny @aburka both mine and apparently tubi’s are from VCI’s dual-audio HD restoration/release, I went with Spanish since everywhere else including tubi was dub (and/or SD)

@ryan @aburka aha i'm just seeing that now searching a private tracker. oh well already almost uploaded tubi's version so i'll just go with that.

@jonny yeah I doubt it's upscaling: especially since it's black and white, it's probably just a clearer reproduction based upon the original film

@jonny Amazon has it with the free trial of 'full moon' so I'm doing that. I just need to remember to unsubscribe from it tomorrow so I don't get billed

@jonny archive isn't a good option for me anyway. i need to be able to watch in my tv so i can post on my laptop

@Taweret @jonny tvs are kinda just big monitors now though

@Taweret yeah i get that, i think that most smart TVs that have browsers can watch peertube videos? but idk i just would do literally anything in order to not see ads so i know that's not other ppl's highest priority

@jonny a fair number of these movies i actually had on dvd anyway. but not this one

@jonny So, we’re going with ads tonight?

@ramsey no no i'm going to rip it from tubi and reupload to @monsterdon - never will i ever watch a movie with ads in it #monsterdon

@jonny Thanks! For some reason, I don’t see any of the posts for @monsterdon

it looks like both of them are cropping the original in some way - in the tubi version, it's been cropped vertically to be 16:9, but the archive.org version is cropped horizontally and has vertical black bands around the edges. what in tarnation #monsterdon

@jonny argghh that's annoying (but good to know). i'll be watching the tubi version (ripped) #monsterdon

For those of u just joining us pre-show #monsterdon - the archive.org version is really bad, and so if you want to see the tubi version without ads i've rehosted it on @monsterdon here: tube.me.jon-e.net/w/58a6uu9emi

and @ryan is hosting the Spanish audio version over here: miru.miyaku.media/

( i've started a list of alternative monsterdon sources here, so if you also regularly provide a stream, lmk and i'll add it to the list: wiki.neuromatch.social/Monster )

punching a dude in the throat is a hell of a way to make an entrance #monsterdon

look the movie is literally titled "wrestling women vs the aztec mummy" so you better believe we are going to get 25% of the runtime being literal wrestling women. this rocks #monsterdon

what kind of pin is holding someone's arms out to the side like that is that regulation #monsterdon

when she says "you and i almost didn't even make it" is she saying death is an option in these matches? #monsterdon

TIMESTAMP TO GO BACK AND CLIP THE GUY BEHIND THE PILLAR #monsterdon

the guy creeping over the window and that guys wailing voice, this movie is so good it's hard to put into words, i am just speechless #monsterdon

i have no idea why they are setting up this three's company cohabitation situation but it can only be good for the movie #monsterdon

the cohabitation plan didn't even last a single scene #monsterdon

dog be fucking careful with how you handle thousand year old documents there isn't a backup of the codex #monsterdon

"now watch as i dominate this girl's will" is an incredible localization near-miss, that is just in the uncanny valley of "things that are syntactically and semantically valid but not things that would ever be said exactly like that" #monsterdon

couldn't even get the voice actor to pretend like that limberger cheese joke worked #monsterdon

WHAT does that "as an amazon, you're the greatest" line mean. #monsterdon

@jonny I suspect it's a mistranslation, "As a warrior woman".

@rallias like i assume the amazon part was the derogatory term for a very tall and muscular woman but what does the whole construction of the sentence mean "as an amazon, ..." #monsterdon

the tall woman chopped the short guy into the room..? and then fought the people that were in the room? is anyone on anyone's side or what are they doing? #monsterdon

@jonny Not sure what Tubi does but generally their version is a lot better looking than say archive.org or YT
