It's been a rough day, so im in the mood for something funny, so Rifftrax to the rescue! This is their riff on a terrible alien invasion movie from 1980. The sad part is, all the movie posters look really cool, so I bet a lot of people were tricked into watching this movie in theaters back in the day and were PISSED. The movie is about a spacecraft that returns from Mars with the whole crew dead and some weird looking green pod like things that are supposed to be eggs, and they ripen in the heat and then burst open and cause anyone who gets hit by the goo to melt and fall apart. Something about a coffee company smuggling the eggs in their coffee crates so the eggs can explode and infect people and take over the world. Yeag, u don't get it either. Maybe you have to smoke crack for the movie to make sense. There were some great lines in the Rifftrax commentary though. Some of my favorites:
"Movies are being contaminated by unreadable fonts!"
"Ooh, Italian *and* German! Maybe we're gonna watch a Leopold and Loeb co-production next!"
"I'm sure the dead soldiers will appreciate you bantering like Abbot and Costello."
"Can't we just push it over the river to New Jersey and let THEM deal with it?"
"Hey, please don't insult the pus filled eggs by comparing them to Coors light."
"Good idea, hide in the shower until the movie decides what it's about!"
"They all look like if Ant Man joined the KKK."
There's also this long, pointless sequence of a guy looking at a plane, slowly getting in, slowly taking flight...so on. One of the Rifftrax guys sang this song about looking at a plane, and it had me laughing so hard I was crying and couldn't breathe and my sides hurt. The commentary definitely made this movie worth checking out.
