The Flaming Lips’ 2008 Christmas Movie Now Online

Tired of It’s a Wonderful Life and A Miracle on 34th Street? Then pour yourself a toddy and watch the Flaming Lips and Christmas on Mars.

It’s Christmas time, and the colonization of Mars is underway. However, when an oxygen generator and a gravity control pod malfunction, Major Syrtis (the Lips’ Steven Drozd) and his team (including the Lips’ Michael Ivins) fear the worst. Syrtis also hallucinates about the birth of a baby, and many other strange things. Meanwhile, a compassionate alien superbeing (Coyne) arrives, inspiring and helping the isolated astronauts.
