Mars Attacks! (1996): "Starring Ray J"
Here’s the thing about Mars Attacks! (1996) — it’s not giving Tim Burton. We’re dedicating our third installment of Alien Month to the notoriously spooky director, but this flick is a little different from his most famous material. Though it includes a few CLEAR references to his earlier work, it’s missing his trademark emaciated waif aesthetic, is devoid of any claymation whatsoever, and doesn’t star his main bestie. It does, however, feature pretty much everyone else in Hollywood. The interstellar cast ranges from Oscar winners and nominees to Brandy’s little brother, plus Jack Nicholson times two just for fun. On a new Spooky Tuesday, we’re swapping out our Transatlantic accents for Martian and music as we bravely resist the urge to yodel all episode long.
