Centered on a television station which features a 1950s-style sci-fi movie interspersed with a series of wild commercials, wacky shorts and weird specials, this lampoon of contemporary life and pop culture skewers some of the silliest spectacles ever created in the name of entertainment.
Movie tag line: "See amazing thrills, spine-tingling chills, and something else that rhymes with "thrills"."
