S7 Ep 20Season 7 Episode 20: Santa Clause Conquers the Martians?

E

In this cinematic "masterpiece" (Quotes used intentionally), Santa Claus takes on the Martians in a battle of wits and... well, mostly just wits. With a plot that rivals the complexity of a children's bedtime story, Santa is kidnapped by Martians who are desperate to bring joy to their humorless, sleep-deprived children. Armed with a laugh that could make Mr. Magoo cringe and a workshop that churns out more amalgamations than presents, Santa's conquest is as convincing as a polar bear costume made from a gutted stuffed animal. Join Chris, Christian and guest host Bev as they mull over this 1964 cult classic, which has earned its rightful place on the 'worst movies of all time' list, proving once and for all that even Santa can't conquer everything—especially not the Martians.
