    Natchan's Little Secret

    ★★★★★

    This movie takes a lot of inspiration from Priscilla, Queen of the Desert and To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar.

    Barbella and Florbella's plan to eat the children's brains to absorb their knowledge of Earth and blend in is so cartoonishly evil, it perfectly matches the cartoony monster gore. Honestly I think you could fit four people in that ship for the 10…
