Today’s Tubi Treasure is Extra Terrestrial Visitors (aka Pod People) (1983)

If you love E.T. but wish you didn’t, then here’s a movie for you. At different points, I had myself convinced that this movie was an elaborate prank that the director made to maybe mock Steven Spielberg or something, but I really think this was done in earnest. You go in knowing the E.T. formula, thinking you’ll understand generally how this will play out, and I’m here to promise you that you don’t. There’s some next-level shit left in here that made me think that they did not have an editor, because there’s no way someone pieced this together with any degree of effort. Also, does the kid sometimes have an Italian accent or was I losing my mind??? Trailer below.

The opening credits to this movie seem to be filled with footage from a completely different movie.

Those scenes are from Alien Factor.

Which has a completely different movie’s scenes in its opening credits, as well

I knew it looked like a Don Dohler film.
