Because even at Christmas time I watch and talk about bad films, this time #SantaClausConquersTheMartians. #CultClassic
Join Chris, Christian and guest host @stormywriter.bsky.social as they laugh at a 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.

As for Joel and the bots? They sing us out with a hymn, show what everybody got in their stockings, including a viewer letter for Joel, and the MADS doing their own Gift of the Magi. #MST3K #SantaClausConquersTheMartians

Santa and the others win, Droppo becomes Mars's Santa, everybody goes home and the experiment ends with one last hurray for Santy Claus. #MST3K #SantaClausConquersTheMartians

The evil Martians wrecked the machine to warp the toys by things like switching dolls head, giving the end of a tennis racquet on the end of a baseball bat...

...you just know 60's kids went "AWESOME" on that last one. #MST3K #SantaClausConquersTheMartians

"Take him out, now..." For those wondering why the crew seems so mean to Droppo...turns out behind the scenes, everybody wanted to hurt the guy. Mike Nelson even wished he had Droppo dolls to burn while working on this. #MST3K #SantaClausConquersTheMartians

In an effort to teach the Bots how to be more human and live on Earth, Joel encourages them to write essays about Christmas. Crow's about Santa needing to get with the times. Tom's on the other hand...

"My finger isn't tired!"
CROW: "Look out, now!" Yes, folks, TV wasn't afraid to go there once. #MST3K #SantaClausConquersTheMartians
December 26, 2025 at 7:04 AM
"We're not interested in Earth programs..." Turns out when you yoink kids from their home, kids don't wanna have fun. Who'd a thunk? #MST3K #SantaClausConquersTheMartians
December 26, 2025 at 7:02 AM
"What'd you find out!?" Well, some of us work quite a bit after this movie...in fact, the director here is a guy who directs news segments for TV! Hey, I made that face too when I saw that! #MST3K #SantaClausConquersTheMartians
December 26, 2025 at 6:55 AM
"When I call my captain, I touch myself!" Glad the divinyls fixed that... #MST3K #SantaClausConquersTheMartians

"Now, now, children, let's not get excited." It's just our slow and painful deaths in 60 seconds, what's the problem? #MST3K #SantaClausConquersTheMartians
December 26, 2025 at 6:29 AM
It turns out stealth? Not a Martian thing as after almost taking Santa, the world knows they took Santa, so it's time to call the world's finest stock footage to bring him back! #MST3K #SantaClausConquersTheMartians
December 26, 2025 at 6:21 AM
"How are you gonna hurt him with a hair dryer?" ...have you felt the heat from those things!? #MST3K #SantaClausConquersTheMartians

Tom and Crow complain about the movie, but Joel has good news: He tricked Frank to send 'em better movies including Frosty, Rudolph, Charlie Brown..then the bad news: Frank also sent the remakes like It Happened One Christmas. #MST3K #SantaClausConquersTheMartians

So, the budget for this thing was $200,000...

Joel: "Oh, they shot this in Minnesota in October."

I'd sooner buy Making Mr. Right was the actual $9 million it said it's budget was.

The martians sees multiple people dressed as Santa and decide that the Earth won't miss one...only for the Army to take notice the minute they get taken. Whoops. #MST3K #SantaClausConquersTheMartians

The wisest man on Mars makes it clear: Yoink Santa and bring him here or risk your kids becoming mindless zombies in front of a screen.

Unrelated, how's Timmy's new iPhone? #MST3K #SantaClausConquersTheMartians

Yeah, and I'm just "Borrowing" this gag from the Nostalgia Critic. #MST3K #SantaClausConquersTheMartians
And the want to protect the kids' well being. And the need to want the kids to be well. And the desire to have them be more than just emotionless TV watchers. And the need the want to want them to be more than TV watchers.

But, to make clear, no love whatsoever. #MST3K
So, hinting that Mars doesn't do emotions, the kids ask what's tender loving care...then jump to the dads asking what's wrong with their kids. So, even though it's hinted that there's no love on Mars, there seems to be the need to protect the kids' well being. #MST3K

"Where are they?"
"Uh...watching Earth programs..." Wait until he sees the invention of reality TV... #MST3K #SantaClausConquersTheMartians

"Is there truth to the rumor that you're using a rocket sled?" Ho, ho, ho, I made a deal with Ford to promote their Pinto, son, I can't see anything wrong with this. #SantaClausConquersTheMartians

"At this very moment, KID-TV..." ...just gonna assume they're based on that side of the Mississippi and not ask how light speed goes that fast... #MST3K #SantaClausConquersTheMartians
