The Stepford Wives is the subject of today’s “monsterdon” viewing over on Mastodon, our fediverse sibling!

Usually I post about this on !bmoviebonanza@lemmy.world, but this is more of a cult movie than a b-movie, I think? I duno I haven’t seen it yet…

• Just start watching that movie today Sunday, Dec 29, 2024 at 9pm ET / 8pm CT / 6pm PT, which is 2am 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 laptop side-by-side but you could follow the mastodon commentary on your phone while watching it on TV or something…

How to watch:

• someone claims they’ll be streaming it on https://miru.miyaku.media/ at that time
• you can probably find it on a streaming service? Here are a bunch of free youtube uploads, but they all have slightly different lengths, and I’ve read that there are various edits out there:

The Stepford Wives is a 1975 American satirical psychological thriller film directed by Bryan Forbes. It was written by William Goldman, who based his screenplay on Ira Levin’s 1972 novel of the same name. The film stars Katharine Ross as a woman who relocates with her husband (Peter Masterson) and children from New York City to the Connecticut community of Stepford, where she comes to find that the women live lives of unwavering subservience to their husbands.
