It's the official kick-off of the holiday season here on What Were They Thinking? so the guys bring back resident Christmas expert Mariah Lirette to discuss the 1960s classic Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. They talk about the shoddy costumes and inconsistent makeup either fully covering or barely covering their faces, the legendary career of Pia Zadora, Santa Claus' bad stand-up comedy career, Droppo abusing drugs to get fat, the worst choreographed fight in history and much more.

We will return with full episodes on Thursday, January 11th.
