FLORENCE, ITALY - DECEMBER 18: A robot of the project Robot-Era is displayed near the Chrismas Tree at nursing residence San Lorenzo on December 19, 2015 in Florence, Italy. In the Residenza Sanitaria Assistenziale San Lorenzo ('nursing residence') a robot acts as a perfect caregiver or butler for the 20 elderly guests. Robots developed within the project Robot-Era coordinated by Robotics Institute of the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna di Pisa are designed and programmed to perform functions in the house, outside and in the condominium. The EU supported project Robot-Era is the world's largest experiment ever done on service Robotics, involving 160 people in real-world environments with a duration of 4 years. The project is coordinated by the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna di Pisa with tests inside the residence until December 21. (Photo by Laura Lezza/Getty Images)

Santa Claus Conquers the Martians

Another film I haven’t seen but holy cow, look at the title; Santa Claus conquers the Martians. The title alone sells you the movie and gives you all you need to know about it. It’s Santa Claus on Mars and he dances like a goon. How can you not love the idea of this film?

The premise is actually less awful than you think, or more awful…either-or. Santa Claus goes to Mars to set up a toy shop and puts the Martians to work. Then shenanigans happen and people try to hurt Santa.

It’s apparently one of the worst films ever made, with IMDB.com putting it on the bottom 100 lists of worst films ever made. It’s so bad that the best version of the film is the one the folks from Mystery Science Theater 3000 did of it. If the guys from the original MST3K got their hands on it, then you know it’s the perfect kind of terrible.

The film does have one unique quality about it, apparently, it’s the first documented appearance of Mrs. Claus in a motion picture. That’s right, it beat out Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer by three weeks. Sure, it’s one of the worst films ever made, so bad it’s good, but at least it has that unique distinction.
