Many have forgotten (or choose to forget) the Santa/Martian wars of 1964: Santa Claus Conquers the Martians bravely attempts to set the record straight. Martian parents Kimar and Momar become concerned that their children Bomar and Girmar (are you picking up the "mar" theme? BECAUSE IT'S VERY SUBTLE!) have become too attached to television programs from earth. Their solution is brilliant, if a bit of a non sequitur -- they launch a plan to kidnap Santa Claus!

The nasty Martian villain Voldar (his face is coated in green oil and he has a huge mustache, therefore he's evil) captures two earth children, Billy and Betty, who don't hold out for even a minute but rat out our fattest, jolliest elf without a struggle. Voldar takes Santa and the children prisoner and heads off for Mars. Only the bravery of Billy and Betty and the bumbling of a stowaway and "the laziest man on Mars", Droppo, can foil Voldar's evil plans!

Throw into the mix an insane short featuring a pixie named Snoopy, a horrific life size Jack in the Box, and a lion who is oh so proud of his candy eating ability, and you've got one of our funniest live shows to date. Please join Mike, Kevin, and Bill for RiffTrax Live: Santa Claus Conquers the Martians!

Just wondering if this is going to be available on a DVD.  I have 3 Live Shows, I just like having the hard copies.  Thanks!

Watching this again. At 1:00:29 in the video...what kid asked Santa for a MAILBOX?!

Maybe he is a sociopath and asked for a "male box" to put the body in?

Watching this again a few days ago, I wonder if TOYS stole the final battle idea from this movie? And it was pretty fucking stupid in both.
