We take a brief detour into pure pulp territory with the hilarious Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, directed by Nicholas Webster as his one and only motion picture. This is another MST3K alumnus apparently; unfortunately I'm a philistine and have never watched it, but Quinn certainly has. They echoed more than a few of the movie's no doubt iconic quotes for me, which I tolerated in the spirit of the season.
Oh, I'm kidding. This was a lot of fun, even though any serious attempts to apply media critique will inevitably fail. It's just a silly kid's movie. The combination of the holiday and science fiction genres is definitely something a bit fun and different. Pop it on sometime and you probably won't be bored.
5/10
