Cinema Terrible: Cosmos: War of the Planets
Cosmos: War of the Planets is an Italian space opera considered to be a remake of a Mario Bava space horror film. It features killer robots, impossibly weird futuristic couture, an evil supercomputer, and an incoherent plot that not even the film’s four scriptwriters could fix.
We'll be also featuring our very first heckler panel!
