Plan 9 From Outer Space (1959) - Movie Mondays - Episode 1

Wes and Nick dive into the iconic disasterpiece Plan 9 from Outer Space, a film that has earned its place in the annals of bad movie history. Directed by the infamous Ed Wood, this cinematic train wreck has captivated audiences with its sheer absurdity and bewildering plot.

Plot: 

In the heart of California, a grieving old man (Bela Lugosi) is mourning the recent death of his wife (Vampira). The next day, tragedy strikes again when he himself dies. However, the story takes a bizarre turn when extraterrestrial beings Eros and Tanna use a mysterious electric device to resurrect both the old man and the strong Inspector Clay, who was also killed by the couple. Instead of an invasion, these aliens have a peculiar mission: to prevent humanity from developing the "Solaranite" bomb, a weapon that could threaten the entire universe. As bizarre flying saucers hover over Hollywood and Washington DC, a motley crew of characters—including a colonel, a police lieutenant, a commercial pilot, his wife, and a policeman—rises to confront the extraterrestrial threat.
