Because I get to catch gems like this on TCM at all hours of the day: > **[Queen of Outer Space (1958) - IMDb](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052104/?ref_=ttfc_fc_tt)** > > Queen of Outer Space: Directed by Edward Bernds. With Zsa Zsa Gabor, Eric Fleming, Dave Willock, Laurie Mitchell. American astronauts are drawn by a mysterious force to the planet Venus, which they find to be inhabited only by beautiful women and... I’ve now added “Bacchino!” to my vocabulary, right after “Klaatu barada nikto!” Zsa Zsa Gabor **and** Joi Lansing! Who could ask for more? 😊 ---

I watched a small bit of that a few years ago. I couldn’t make it through it. I admire your determination. ---

> [@terentii](#): > > [I’m so glad I work at home] Because I get to catch gems like this on TCM at all hours of the day: Hey stop watching campy '50s sci-fi B-movies and get back to work, mister! Haha, just kidding! I WAH and do the same thing. Sometimes I have work that I really need to apply my full attention to, but maybe 70% of my day I can work while keeping one eye on a TV show or movie. Currently working through several seasons and iterations of Law & Order. ---

It’s like watching a third-season episode of _ **Star Trek** _, except the Eymorgs are on Venus! ---

In recent years, they’ve also screened “Heavenly Bodies”, which Len Maltin described as “the first aerobics musical, and if we’re lucky, the last” and “The Garbage Pail Kids Movie”, as well as much of John Waters’ early output, with the exception (so far) of “Pink Flamingos.” ---

They sound like real weeners! 😆 I caught **this one** too at around 3:00 am a couple of months ago. _ **Forbidden Planet** _, it ain’t. > **[World Without End (1956) - IMDb](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0049964/)** > > World Without End: Directed by Edward Bernds. With Hugh Marlowe, Nancy Gates, Nelson Leigh, Rod Taylor. Astronauts returning from a voyage to Mars are caught in a time warp and are propelled into a post-Apocalyptic Earth populated by mutants. ---

Doesn’t sound like you “work” from home. ---

It’s like nobody talked about this movie for almost thirty years.
