UFOs are often visible, but not always. Sometimes they make noise, sometimes they are silent. If you’ve never seen a flying saucer, that is proof they are everywhere. This is one of the many amazing things we learn in TCM’s upcoming table read of Ed Wood’s masterwork, Plan 9 from Outer Space.
We once laughed at the horseless carriage, the aero-plane, the telephone, the electric light, vitamins, radio, and even television. But it took a while to get the joke about Plan 9 from Outer Space. Written and directed by Edward D. Wood Jr. in 1959, it was a little-known independent film with a direct line through directors who carried on the DIY-filmmaking spirit like John Cassavetes, Melvin Van Peebles and John Waters. The Cult of Plan 9 began when Ed Wood was posthumously awarded a Golden Turkey Award for Worst Director of All Time in 1980. Though this has been disputed.

If you are easily offended, Moral Orel may not be the perfect show for you... Its star, Orel Puppington lives in Moralton, right in the middle of the American bible belt. His life consists of going to church, living piously and following the word of God to a T. Unfortunately the gospel is often misinterpreted in this peaceful community, which usually leads to mayhem and chaos, zombies running in the street or a musical where Judas is the biggest attraction. The lively music of the show is provided by songwriter / composer Mark Rivers, who skipped church today so that he could answer the following questions:
Growing up in Georgia, was your childhood as scarring as Orel Puppington's? How did you find music for yourself?
No, I had a pretty delightful childhood, though I do remember my parents dragging me to church every Sunday and, unlike Orel, I hated it.
