Peculiar Holiday Success

[krpalmer]

One of my supervisors at work has started closing our section’s morning meeting with bits of trivia. Today the subject was Christmas, and despite or because of a certain focus on holiday movies and specials everyone seemed to be quick with answers. At last, my supervisor said he had a last question, and that it would be so difficult he’d give anyone who could answer some of the mini-pepperonis he’d been selling yesterday for outside-work fundraising. He started reading off a question that described a science fiction movie from 1964 ranked among the worst films ever, and I said at once “Santa Claus Conquers the Martians.” I’d known about it years before learning about Mystery Science Theater 3000, but I’m certain the show helped the title leap to mind.
