Televised Tube: On the Tube This Week

If you want to watch the strangest Christmas movie ever made, check out the Flaming Lips in Christmas on Mars late on Xmas Eve on Sundance. It took Wayne Coyne and gang eight years to make the movie, which comes off as intentionally bizarre. But if you are looking for something different to watch while you wait for Santa, this would certainly qualify.
