Plan B from Outerspace is a bitterly bad movie about toasters that somehow become atomic on the lesbian planet of Lesbos. When it was first released critics panned it and audiences demanded that their money be returned, the director, Melinda Smithee, be publicly stoned (not the good kind) and all copies of the film be burned, buried and the earth be salted so that nothing would ever grow there again.
One fateful night, the movie was attended by a large group of people who were publicly stoned (the good kind) when they thought they were going to be ironically enjoying Plan 9 from Outerspace by the late, not-so-great Ed Wood. However, they soon found themselves doubly ironically enjoying Plan B from Outerspace, and a cult phenomenon was born.
To be a part of this phenomenon, and thus get the Bad Movie badge for your Indie Cred sash, you must obey the following.
1. Remember, do not actually enjoy this movie. You must enjoy how bad it is.
2. Prepare to enjoy this movie by dressing up in character (don’t forget small details like the blue streak Dr. Mick’s hair and Brian’s superfluous third leg) and memorizing all of the stuff that you’re supposed to yell at the screen, but don’t let anyone see you doing all that or you might lose your Lack of Effort badge.
3. Feel free to make up your own bitingly hilarious ad-libbed bon mots to hurl at the screen, but just make sure that they are hilarious before you do, so you don’t make a fool of yourself in front of the other hipsters. You might want to hire a comedy writer.
