While this isn't the classic that Santa Claus Conquers the Martians is, Mike and the Bots find plenty to mock in this bizarre Mexican-but-mostly-dubbed-into-English '50s kids' movie.  There's a NAFTA reference and even some class commentary, but mostly it's their reactions to the battle of a devil named Pitch vs. a gleeful Santa who lives in outer space with spy satellites and Merlin and laughing robot reindeer and international child slave labor, oh, and an interfering narrator.

*I left out most of the non-movie sequences.
