Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (1964)
Episode 437

⭐Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (1964) – So Bad It's Merry⭐ 🍿Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (1964) is a low-budget sci-fi Christmas oddity where Martian parents, worried about their joyless children, decide to kidnap Earth's greatest capitalist hero, Santa Claus. John Call plays a jolly, pipe-puffing Santa, with Leonard Hicks as conflicted Martian leader Kimar and Vincent Beck as the mustachioed villain Voldar. Bill McCutcheon steals scenes as Dropo, the lazy, giggling Martian who eventually becomes "Martian Santa." At the same time, a very young Pia Zadora appears as Girmar alongside child actors Victor Stiles and Donna Conforti. Ned Wertimer pops up as a TV reporter broadcasting from the North Pole, and Doris Rich offers an early screen version of Mrs. Claus. Shot in an old aircraft hangar on Long Island for about $200,000, this public-domain B-movie blends Cold War anxieties, clunky robots, ray guns made from toy air rifles, and a notoriously awful polar bear suit into a "so bad it's good" holiday sci-fi curio.🍿 👽Affiliates👽 Libsyn Podcast Hosting - https://signup.libsyn.com/?promo_code=CMR **The Equipment I Use for YouTube** Camera - https://amzn.to/3SjOUnI Audio - https://amzn.to/4l7jCPY Teleprompter - https://amzn.to/3CQZQUf GoPro 9 - https://amzn.to/3ITZcbw My Books - https://www.amazon.com/John-E-Cornelison/e/B00MYPIP56 📖Reviews Mentioned📖 Night of the Lepus (1972) — https://youtu.be/1NfVQthfpj4 Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964) — https://youtu.be/AYllhcHNxCQ **Say Hi on Social** Website: https://www.classicmovierev.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/classicmovierev/ #scifi #holidaymovies **Disclaimer** CMR is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to www.amazon.com.
