Robot Monster (1953)
"Moon Monsters Launch Attack Against Earth!"
" ... A young boy and a girl are playing outside at what appears to be the Mayberry Rock quarry. The boy shoots his toy laser pistol at the girl and her doll. They run around and stumble onto two scientists who are removing random rocks from the wall of the mouth of a cave so they can send them to a museum. Because that’s how geology works. 'Here’s a random rock. Off to the museum, it goes!' My entire unpaved driveway is currently on display at the Smithsonian.
The mother and older sister of these children run up apologize to the scientists for the kids bothering them, and then remind the kids they promised to take a nap after the picnic they just had. The kids reluctantly agree, after some gentle prodding by the younger scientist who has the hots for the older sister. They return to the picnic blanket, where the boy asks his mom, and this is a direct quote, “Say are we ever going to have a new father around our house?” What the absolute f*ck? Is the robot monster the name of the person who wrote the dialogue? “Are we ever going to have a new father around our house?’ Sure son, I’ll pick one up at five and dime on the way home from the market tomorrow. I think I saw a coupon for 10% off fathers in the Sunday paper ..."

"WEIRD! Ghoulish atomic beasts who live off human blood!"
"... Do you ever find it annoying in musicals when dance numbers break out and everyone suddenly knows all the moves? Well, that’s not a problem in this movie, because the party beachgoers only kind of know the movies, and are in no way in sync with each other. I’m pretty sure one guy skipped rehearsals together. But the local motorcycle gang shows up to put an end to the lack of choreography. Our abusive alcoholic is making goo-goo eyes at the leader of the pack. Then she starts dancing with him, while the boyfriend goes off and flirts with some other girl. Either break up or go to couples counseling already.
Our second musical number starts and it’s called the wiggle wobble. If you can imagine a dance move inspired by trying to shake a large dingleberry loose from between your butt cheeks, then you can imagine the wiggle wobble. Also, this movie claims to be a musical, but really they just have a band playing in several scenes and people dancing to it. I think musical is a bit of a stretch but whatever. This is more of a movie with music in it. ... "
