This is one of the few 80s romantic comedies directed by a former video nasty director. Yes, Australian Fred Schepisi also made Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith, a film that appears on the section 3 list of those films. That said, it’s more of an art film with darker gore elements, but it’s amazing that Schepisi went on to make this and Mr. Baseball.

Star Steve Martin wanted to update Edmond Rostand’s play Cyrano de Bergerac but change the ending so that Cyrano gets the girl in the end. He wrote 25 drafts over three years and changed Cyrano to a firefighter named C.D. Bales (his crew includes Michael J. Pollard, Max Alexander, Steve Mittleman, Damon Wayans, Matt Lattanzi, John Kapelos and Fred Willard).

He’s in love from afar with Roxanne Kowalski (Daryl Hannah), who is really interested in young firefighter Chris McConnell (Rick Rossovich). Chris is attracted to her as well, but despite his good looks, he’s incredibly awkward, so he asks C.D. to help him win her over.

Martin made this and Planes, Trains & Automobiles in the same year. That’s a pretty good year.

The Mill Creek Through the Decades: 1980s Collection has a ton of great movies at an affordable price. It also has Punchline, Little Nikita, Vice Versa, The New Kids, Who’s Harry Crumb?, Blue Thunder, Suspect, Band of the Hand and Like Father, Like Son. You can get this set from Deep Discount.

Back in 1882, F. Anstey’s wrote the novel Vice Versa and Hollywood is so happy that he died before they’d have to pay to make and remake and remake again his work. This time, Fred Savage and Judge Reinhold are Charlie and Marshall Seymoure, the father and son who must change their lives by changing identities, this time by using a supernatural skull that needs the intervention of James Hong, forever solving the supernatural problems of white people.

Director Brian Gilbert would go on to make more art-based movies like Tom & Viv while writers Dick Clement and Ian Le Frenais would write Flushed Away and The Commitments. Sadly, Judge Reinhold claimed that this movie was the decline of his career, saying “That’s when the phone stopped ringing.”

Seeing as how this is on the same box set as Like Father, Like Son, it’s amazing how close both films follow the same story down to hair metal soundtrack. There are only so many ways to tell a story, yet seeing as how both movies came out within six months of one another that seems like more than a coincidence.

It’s really amazing how close Vice Versa and Like Father, Like Son are. They both even have a hair metal concert sequence and soundtrack. This one gets Autograph. That one gets Malice. Both often appear on combo DVDs together and yes, here they are again together on Mill Creek’s Through the Decades: 1980s Collection.

This time: Like Father, Like Son which has Dudley Moore and Kirk Cameron switch bodies. Jack (Moore) is a surgeon. His son Chris (Cameron) is a student. And thanks to a Native American brain switching formula, they change bodies long enough to cause issues in one another’s lives and also learn some lessons, because everyone always learns lessons in this movie. I mean — just look at every single Freaky Friday movie.

Director Rod Daniel made Teen Wolf, K-9, The Super, Beethoven’s 2nd and Home Alone 4, so when he left moviemaking for photography — and didn’t have nice things to say about Hollywood — perhaps that makes sense.

I’m certain that there are folks that grew up with this movie as a constant rental. Each generation gets its own body switch movie, right?

David Seltzer, who wrote The Omen and Prophecy, was excited about comedy clubs all the way back to 1979, but the script sat for years unmade before producer Daniel Melnick found it in the Columbia files. Tom Hanks Steven Gold character was the hero of the movie, but comes off so mean at parts that it just didn’t work. Instead of making this a small movie with no stars, Columbia president Steve Sohmer reached out to Sally Field, who came on board as the producer and co-star.

Both Hanks and Field worked for months to improve their timing on stage, with Hanks training with comedy writer Randy Fechter and stand-up comic Barry Sobel, while Field studied under comic Susie Essman and sitcom writer Dottie Archibald.

Steven Gold (Hanks) is a failed medical student obsessed with his stand-up career, someone who uses the skills he should have in the operating room to dissect what makes stand-up work.   Lilah Krytsick (Field) is a housewife with the dream of making a career that she can own outside of her boring life cooking dinners and raising children with her husband John (John Goodman, ironically playing the wife of a Roseanne Barr-type comedian, ironically in the same year that he would play Barr’s TV husband; fellow ABC actor Candace Cameron is one of their daughters).

The true joy of this film is in seeing the stand-ups work on their material, as well as the actors and real comedians selected to play them, like Damon Wayans, Sobel, Pam Matteson, George McGrath (the singing nun in this movie also wrote Big Top Pee-Wee), Taylor Negron (who was trained for comedy by Lucille Ball), Barry Neikrug, Angel Salazar, Mac Robbins, Max Alexander, Paul Kozlowski, Marty Pollio (a real-life juggling comedian), Casey Sander, George Wallace, Michael Pollock and Bob Zmuda as a heckler.

Romeo, the owner of the club in this movie, is played by Mark Rydell, who hadn’t acted since The Long Goodbye. He’s much better known as a director with The Rose and On Golden Pond being his best-considered movies.

Comedians are screwed up people. This movie won’t change that notion. That said, it got me emotionally a few times and has some decent moments.

EDITOR’S NOTE: This movie originally appeared on the site on December 12, 2018 when Mill Creek released it as part of their retro VHS box line. 

Have you ever said to yourself, “I’d like to watch a super young James Spader with weird looking bleach blonde hair menace a super young looking Lori Loughlin to the point that I worry for her safety?” If so, you’re a maniac. But hey, you’re on our site, so we have to be nice and tell you that this movie exists. It’s Sean Cunningham’s (Friday the 13th) 1985 opus, The New Kids.

No offense to our friends from Horror and Sons, but Florida is the most frightening state in the nation. Just ask Abby (Loughlin, years before she became Aunt Becky or a convicted felon) and Loren McWilliams (Shannon Presby, who quit acting soon after this movie and became a lawyer). Their parents (Tom Atkins is their military hero dad!) have been killed in an accident and they’ve moved to Glenby, a small town that seems way more like hell — and not the happiest place — on Earth. Their Uncle Charlie (Eddie Jones, C.H.U.D., Q the Winged Serpent and Johnathan Kent on TV’s Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman) and Aunt Fay (who did American voices for Gamera the Invincible and Godzilla vs. Hedorah) take them in, getting them to help them operate a gas station and amusement park, which is based on Santa Claus. If you’re willing to accept this entire paragraph and still say, “I’d watch that movie,” congratulations. You’re as goofy as me.

The kids do pretty well in their new life, with Loren instantly hitting it off with Karen, the vivacious daughter of the local sheriff. And Abby starts seeing Mark, who is played by Eric Stoltz, who also made Mask and lasted five weeks as Marty McFly in Back to the Future the same year that this movie was made.

What gives us the dramatic reason for watching this movie? Eddie Dutra (Spader) and his gang suddenly intrude and remind us that Flordia may be the home of Disney, but it’s also the nexus for American death metal. These boys just randomly do coke and make bets as to who will have nonconsensual sex with Abby first.

Dutra and his gang gradually grow more and more vicious, keying cars and even throwing Abby’s beloved pet rabbit’s bloody corpse at her while she attempts to take a shower — a scene that reminds you that Cunningham may be working for a major studio here, but he has roots in exploitation.

Finally, there’s a showdown at the amusement park that the kids call home, with Dutra covering Abby in lighter fluid and throwing lit matches at her (!) while his gang holds her down and fights over who gets to molest her.

It all ends with the bad guys attacked by dogs, thrown from the Ferris wheel, electrocuted and beheaded by bumper cars, and finally, Dutra lit ablaze by a gas pump that he has turned into a flamethrower. No, I don’t think that gas pumps work that way, either.

Becca woke up and came downstairs to watch some of my late night viewing of The New Kids and said, “This is one of those movies where they just show you stuff that happens to people and it’s all horrible. In fact, this movie is horrible. Who would even like this kind of movie?”

This is when my wife learned that I’m the kind of person who would like this kind of movie, which confirmed my theory: no one can be that good at being a lunatic without being a lunatic. There’s some dark stuff in Spader’s closet, right? Well, according to this Movie Web article, every year Spader and Stoltz get together to watch The New Kids together.

The Mill Creek Through the Decades: 1980s Collection has a ton of great movies at an affordable price. It also has Like Father, Like Son, Vice Versa, Little Nikita, Roxanne, Punchline, Who’s Harry Crumb?, Blue Thunder, Suspect and Band of the Hand. You can get this set from Deep Discount.

The Skulls* (2000): Sure, it’s set in Yale, but that’s Toronto, but otherwise, this is about the Skulls and Bones Society but they’re called the Skulls. Far be it from me to say it’s disinformation, but writer John Pogue (U.S. Marshalls, Rollerball and the just finished under the radar reimagining of Eraser; he also made Quarantine 2: Terminal and Deep Blue Sea 3) went to Yale, so either he knows something or he just lucked into three movies out of this idea.

Lucas John “Luke” McNamara  (Joshua Jackson) grew up an orphan on the wrong side of the tracks but he still made into Yale on a rowing scholarship which is totally a thing. His only friends are his girlfriend Chloe (Leslie Bibb) and his friend Will (Hill Harper), yet he’s still invited to join one of Yale’s secret societies, the titular Skulls, and made a soulmate with Caleb Mandrake (Paul Walker), a legacy whose father Judge Litten Mandrake (Craig T. Nelson) is still very involved in Skulls business, along with Senator Ames Levritt (William Petersen) and provost Martin Lombard (Christopher McDonald, who is, always, Shooter McGavin).

As you can imagine, the Skulls are so connected that they run the cops, the courts, the government, pretty much anywhere rich people are. They kill Will when he gets too close to exposing their secrets and is killed, which pits Skull brother against Skull brother, Skull father against Skull son and Skull boyfriend against non-Skull girlfriend.

Director Rob Cohen didn’t go to Yale, but he did go to Harvard and Amherst. He followed this movie up with The Fast and the Furious and XXX, so maybe he did have something to do with that whole secret society making its members wealthy thing. Then again, he followed those up with Stealth and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, so maybe he wasn’t in all that tight.

Also, if you ever saw the 1970 TV movie The Brotherhood of the Bell, you may have already seen this movie.

*You can read our original review of this movie here.

The Skulls II (2002): Joe Chappelle is well-regarded for episodes of CSI: NY, CSI: Miami and The Wire, but he made this back in 2002, a direct-to-video sequel to the original movie.

Star Robin Dunne, who plays Ryan Sommers, seems to take over for Joshua Jackson in direct-to-video sequels, what with him showing up in Cruel Intentions 2 (and yes, I own it; I am a self-professed sequel lover). He and his best friend Jeff (Christopher Ralph, who was in the Animorphs series) get picked for the Skulls; Jeff is super down, Ryan less so as his older brother Greg (James Gallanders) was a member and it’ll take time away from his demanding girlfriend Ali (Ashley Tesoro).

Ryan and Jeff are punished when a prank goes wrong and end up cleaning the attic of the Skulls’ headquarters, which gives them the perfect view to see senior Skull member Matt “Hutch” Hutchison (Aaron Ashmore) and field hockey team captain Diana Rollins (Margot Gagnon) partying on the roof and that party ends with her falling to her death. But is it real? Or just another part of the initiation?

Ryan’s research ends up taking him to the parents of Will Beckford from the first film who reveal how the Skulls killed their son. Then, his brother is fired from his lawyer job (do the Skulls own The Firm?) and Ali accuses him of assaulting her. Luckily, he can trust Kelly (Lindy Booth) and the two of them — along with Greg — work to undermine the secret society.

This movie may have been Michele Colucci-Zieger’s only writing credit, but her co-writer Hans Rodionoff wrote the two Lost Boys sequels (I have no idea how I haven’t gotten to those yet) and Deep Blue Sea 2.

The Skulls 3 (2004): Taylor Brooks (Clare Kramer, Glory from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) is a legacy of the Skulls, as her father Martin (Karl Pruner) and dead brother were both members. Now, she wants to challenge the group and be the first female member, which is a great hook for the story as it’s literally an old boy’s club.

This whole thing has a kinda, sorta giallo structure in that we see the cops trying to solve the case as we arrive in the middle of the story and see flashbacks. Her boyfriend Ethan (Shaun Sipos) also tried to join and was just plain embarrassed that a woman would try to join, so she decides that she totally has to join and I’m all for it.

This is the only full length film that J. Miles Dale has directed, but he’s produced several of Guillermo del Toro’s projects. Written by Joe Johnson, who also scribed Don’t Hang Up, this has one major advantage and it’s Barry Bostwick as the evil elder Skull that puts the whole plot in motion just to advance the military-industrial complex, so they’ve moved on from killing JFK to intimidating high school girls and their absentee fathers.

That said, I liked this way more than I should have. But traditionally I am easy on later sequels of movies I didn’t like so much in the first place, kind of like the kid brothers of bullies that beat me up. We have something in common, as we’ve both had to deal with the older sibling in similar, if different ways, so there’s some kinship. Or when I should beat them up, I realize that the circle of violence — or dunking on bad movies — can stop with me and I can try to find something to like.

You can get all three of The Skulls movies on one blu ray from Mill Creek. While there aren’t any extras, you do get every movie for a low price and can have them in one set, saving you room on your overflowing shelves. Am I speaking to myself? Because trust me, I spent an hour or more today just trying to rearrange things. You can get this from Deep Discount.

Mill Creek has been releasing several of these alien and conspiracy related collections, so let’s take a look at one that goes into the idea that mankind was born not from evolution or divine design, but by alien gods from beyond the stars.

Anunnaki: As a stock footage fire blazes on your screen, director, writer and narrator Philip Gardiner explains how giants once ruled our planet and created so much of our history, from the Garden of Eden to the Great Flood and all the secrets of the Book of Enoch. There’s also a long stretch of names being translated. It basically feels like a college course that you get no grade for, just a credit, so if you’re into that and want to know more about alien engineers, this movie is the place to be. You can watch this on Tubi.

Aliens in Egypt: Who really built the pyramids — in the exact places — so quickly? This movie gets into the evidence of high precision machining on Egypt’s Giza plateau, as well as glyphs of futuristic vehicles within the pyramids. Sure, you’ve seen it all before, but if you’d like to have one voice lecture you for an hour on it while still images get the Ken Burns effect, I can’t stop you, right? You can watch this on Tubi.

Alien Encounters in America: UFOs and Extraterrestrial Visitations: This is where the Ancient Alien Enigma set takes a step away from ancient aliens to tell us all about encounters from the late 40’s to today in America. I learned that a series of UFO encounters are called a flap, which I didn’t know before. Funny enough, the cover of this says “Staggering evidence that we are clearly NOT alone.” and it’s credited to OH Krill, author of Montauk Babies. Krill also directed this movie, so even the way it’s being sold to you is a conspiracy.

Alien Contact Outer Space: Stock footage combines with droning narration to create the kind of movie that I love most, one that somehow brings Tesla, the sound of the planets and numbers stations all into one sprawling narrative that just bombards you with facts. Space probes getting pictures of UFOs? Yeah, that’s in here as well. This is the kind of thing I put on and drop out of reality with, the kind of magic narrative that I wish the world was like instead of the sad cloud of bile that I cough through every day. Normal people will be bored by this. I am not normal.

Top 20 Mind Blowing UFO Cases: Aliens and the Biggest Cover-up in History: This is the same extra that is on the Mill Creek Alien Agenda box set. It was my favorite part of that set, despite it being made with the care of a slideshow. I mean, Jackie Gleason investigating UFOs? Aliens attacking Los Angeles? It moves quick, there isn’t much content beyond some photos, but I had a complete blast.

This set is a lot of fun, so if you’re looking for a lot of info to be smashed into your skull for a low price, Mill Creek is ready to deliver. You can get this from Deep Discount.

Man, we were once in a place where this DVD set would have been a cute addition to my collection but I live in 2022 where even conspiracy theory has been ruined. Nothing is fun, but you know, when one of these movies is called 666: New World Order, well, I can still smile through the tears in my eyes.

Anyways, I’m in love with this malicious intent, let’s talk New World Order.

666: New World Order: “All the locals hide their tears of regret. Open fire ’cause I love you to death. Sky high, with a heartache of stone. You’ll never see me ’cause I’m always alone.” Yeah, I get it. This isn’t about Ministry. It’s about the elites that really run things, as told by director and writer Philip Gardiner. Supposedly, there’s no real free will, so I was predestined to write about Jess Franco and movies like this. So maybe you can get this and scare yourself into complacency. You can watch this on Tubi.

American Illuminati: Yes, the Illuminati invaded and took control of America from the very beginning with the ultimate goal of a one-world government. I mean, it’s taken them hundreds of years and you can barely convince people to wear a mask when they’re in WalMart, but certainly numerous people can all work together to fool the entire world. You can watch this on Tubi.

American Illuminati 2: I love that the sales copy for this movie claims that “Once you learn these facts, you will never be able to unlearn them. Are you truly ready?” almost as much as the fact that the DVD art looks like a No Limit album cover for the end of the world. I also was going to make an Electric Boogaloo joke, but now racists who want a second civil war have even co-opted the term boogaloo and I’m incensed. What’s so civil about war, anyway?

A War Over Reality: If the Illuminati doesn’t get you, you know what will? Virtual reality. And robots. And grocery delivery. And look, I’ve seen Terminator enough times to be obsessed over Skynet for more than two decades, so everything in this movie made me get constipated I was so upset. I kind of adore, however, that this movie came to me in a high tech way while telling me to be a Luddite, so it is having its cake and eating it too. Well done.

Anyways, you can learn more about this set from Mill Creek on their site or order it from Deep Discount. And I’ll come clean, I totally could have made one of these with the vast amount of conspiracy information that’s currently in my head, which makes me wonder, why didn’t this movie mention that Adam Weishaupt killed George Washington and took his place? What’s the real agenda here? When I walk down the street and my neighbor has a flag that says “Masons built America,” I know he’s not lying and I also don’t think he has any idea what that means.

Then again, James Shelby Downard will always be right: “The eternal pagan psychodrama is escalated under these “modern” conditions precisely because sorcery is not what 20th century man can accept as real.”

The Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon, the Knights Templar were also known as the Order of Solomon’s Temple. A Catholic military order founded in 1119 and based in the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, where they protected pilgrims on their way to the Holy Land.

Beyond their skill in battle, 90% of the Templars were non-combatant members that invented the concept of banking and were the first multi-national corporation ever. This gave them great power and led to their demise, as King Philip IV of France was deeply in debt to the order.

Their power had led to distrust, which he used to destroy them and erase his debt. He arrested and tortured several members of the order, burning them at the stake and pushing Pope Clement V to disband them. The date that he started his plan — Friday, October 13 1307 — is one of the reasons why Friday the 13th is considered a cursed day.

The claim was that the Templars made new members spit on the Cross, deny Christ and engage in indecent kissing. They were also accused of worshipping false idols and engaging in homosexuality, as well as potentially having their own religion based around the demon Baphomet and speaking to the mummified head of John the Baptist, which they found in a the Holy Land.

Despite all the torture, Grand Master Jacques de Molay was defiant, even demanding to face Notre Dame as he was burned at the stake, condemning both Pope Clement V and King Phillip by saying, “God knows who is wrong and has sinned. Soon a calamity will occur to those who have condemned us to death.”

They’d both be dead within a year.

Today, the Roman Catholic Church states that the trial of the Knights Templar was unjust, that nothing was inherently wrong with the order and that Pope Clement was forced by King Philip to attack them as he was a relative of the king.

In pop culture, we’ve seen the Templars show up in everything from the Blind Dead movies to National Treasure, The Da Vinci Code, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and so many conspiracy documentaries, like the four on this new Mill Creek DVD.

Did the Templars have the Holy Grail or the Ark of the Covenant? Did they become warlocks in the service of a demon they found in the Temple of Solomon? What treasures did they have from their battles in the Holy Land?

Let’s see if these films have the answer.

Knights Templar: Rise and Fall: Director Philip Gardiner has made more than a hundred conspiracy movies and this one concerns how the Holy Grail, the Ark of the Covenant and even the bloodline of Jesus Christ has been linked to the warrior holy men. It also gets into the shocking artifact that the Templars found buried deep beneath the Temple of Solomon and how they protected mankind’s greatest secret of all.

Gardiner, OH Krill (who appears on plenty of conspiracy-related movies) and Paul Hughes all appear within this doc which gives a pretty decent overview of the order. You can watch this on Tubi.

Legend of the Grail: Philip Gardiner and OH Krill return for a deep exploration about what the Holy Grail truly was. Was it the cup that Jesus drank from? A cauldron used for dark magic? The bloodline of Jesus? Or was it from ancient aliens or even Atlantis?

Did the Holy Grail exist before — and was already magical — before it was used to collect the blood of Jesus. That’s one fact that you’ll learn here, as well as how it contains a secret so powerful that it could destroy the religion that has been built around Christ. You can watch this on Tubi.

Illuminati: The Grand Illusion: Ah, it used to be so quaint and fun to consider that there was a secret society that ran the world before everyone took things way too far. I feel like conspiracies the way that I used to feel about bands that sold out. I liked the first Illuminati album way better.

If you follow this film’s logic — which claims no credits on IMDB — practically every single one of us is controlled by an ancient order that has even controlled the way America was created from the very beginning of our country.

If you want to know their symbols and how they want a one world government, this is a pretty decent overview. But man, the Illuminati is practically normal compared to the idea that JFK has come back from the dead and will appear in Dallas, right?

Angels, Demons and Freemasons: Now we’re getting into what I love. Just look at this description: “Who runs the world? Is there a shadow world of powerful and elite men pulling the strings of our global society? If so, when did it originate and why? What is the real significance of Rosslyn Chapel? What were the Templars, Assassins, Druids, Augurs, Sufi’s and many more really planning for all of mankind?”

They also claim that this features cutting edge CGI and yes, for 2008, perhaps.

But hey — I’m always down to learn more about this, even if Dan Brown, whose books and movies popularized these myths stole everything from Holy Blood, Holy Grail.

You can get Knights Templar and Freemasons from Deep Discount and learn more on the Mill Creek site. It’s a lot of conspiracy for not a lot of money, but make sure to flip over your dollar so the all seeing eye doesn’t know what you’re doing.

I spent my childhood both fascinated by aliens and alternatively terrorized by them, enjoying Battlestar Galactica on a Sunday night and then staying up all night watching the skies, the Project Blue Book square up reel at the end sending me into a spiral of anxiety and sheer mania, sure that at any time that I would be abducted and taken away to my true home planet never to see my Earth family again.

I’ve spent so much time studying UFOs so Mill Creek’s four — actually five — documentary release Alien Agenda feels like coming back home to see some old friends.

Abducted by Aliens: UFO Encounters of the 4th Kind: This movie asks, are we being taken by beings from outer space or another dimension? While abductions have taken place for centuries, now the question comes up, what if our own government is aware of abductions and is powerless to prevent it?

While we may never know the full agenda of the beings responsible for alien abductions, each case — this movie claims — gets us closer to disclosure.

Directed by J. Michael Long, who has made 46 of these movies, and written by Warren Croyle, who has produced more than 400 of them, this film gathers several abductees to tell their stories. You can also watch this on Tubi.

Alien Reptilian Legacy: Man, I’ve been tracking David Icke since the late 90s/early 00s and it’s amazing how his reptilian theories were once laughed at and now seem as if they’re some of the most realistic of all Q conspiracies. Man, the world has changed and I won’t lie — what was once fun to explore, now conspiracies are as tiresome as being in a room with a bunch of fundamentalists.

This Chris Turner film even has Icke in it as it explores the presence of “a supreme and nefarious inter-dimensional intelligence that has been manipulating mankind for centuries.” Shadow people? Lizard humans? Shape changers?  This one has it all. It’s also on Tubi.

Alien Mind Control: The UFO Enigma: Directed and written by Dan Marrow and Dan Marro, who may or may not be the same person — conspiracy within a conspiracy! — this one is all about individuals who claim to have had life-altering UFO encounters and the psychic abilities they gained like prophetic dreams, clairvoyance and astral projection.

Remember how I said I used to stare out and wish that I was abducted? Man, I’m jealous of these experiencers. Then again, I always thought aliens were using probes on our bodies, not our minds, so maybe I actually did learn something from this. You can watch it on Tubi.

Alien Agenda Planet Earth: Rulers of Time and Space: Written by OH Krill — how’s that for an alien name? –and directed by Anthony and Robert D. Miles, this movie has an extended interview with Stephen Bassett, who we were lucky enough to interview a few years back. It also has Richard Dolan and Stanton Friedman, making this the best overall movie in the set.

The shocking truth with be revealed about aliens, like how Fastwalker is the NORAD (North American Air Defense Command) code word used to classify unidentified flying objects (UFOs) approaching Earth from outer space and entering our atmosphere. You can watch this on Tubi.

Top 20 Mind Blowing UFO Cases: Aliens and the Biggest Cover-up in History: This is my favorite part of the set, despite it being made with the care of a slideshow. I mean, Jackie Gleason investigating UFOs? Aliens attacking Los Angeles? It moves quick, there isn’t much content beyond some photos, but I had a complete blast.

In short, if you love UFOs or just like documentaries about them, this is a well-priced way for you to get lots of content. You can get this from Deep Discount and learn more on the Mill Creek site.
