Your favourite bad movie comedy commentary duo are back with a film guaranteed to have you beside yourself with joy. Bring twenty of your closest friends and join Janet and Geoff for the amazing...SANTA CLAUS CONQUERS THE MARTIANS (1964)
Martians (armed with freeze guns and accompanied by a robot made of cardboard boxes) kidnap Santa Claus and take him to Mars in an attempt to cheer up their miserable offspring. If you like your Christmas movies creepy (and who the hell doesn’t?) this is the best yuletide cinematic experience going – and we haven’t overlooked “Silent Night Deadly Night” or “Christmas Evil” in making such a statement.
The movie looks like it was shot in someone’s bedroom and its many incidental pleasures include a cast that could have been recruited from a police line-up, a title song bellowed by a chorus of tone-deaf urchins and double-whammy Razzie Award winner Pia Zadora in her movie debut as a Martian poppet. The scene in which a couple of kids are attacked by a man in a polar bear suit is worth the price of admission alone. Perfect Christmas fare for the whole family – especially if the kids have been naughty.
Please note that this session of SANTA CLAUS CONQUERS THE MARTIANS will feature a live commentary from Cinema Fiasco hosts Geoff Wallis and Janet A. McLeod. You've been warned!
Director: Nicholas WebsterStarring: John Call, Leonard Hicks, Vincent Beck, Bill McCutcheon, Victor Stiles, Donna Conforti, Chris Month, Pia Zadora
