What We Think

One of the least woke movies imaginable. 'Santa Claus Conquers the Martians' is pure 1960s family-friendly camp, untouched by any modern ideological leanings. The only thing this film conquers is boredom (and maybe sanity).

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film’s narrative is pure campy sci-fi family fun, with characters driven by goofy charm rather than modern identity politics. There’s no evidence of forced representation or emphasis on identity over story and personality.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Released in 1964, the movie openly celebrates Christmas, family, and good old-fashioned Santa cheer. Traditional gender roles and values are intact, presented without irony or subversion. There’s no cultural revisionism to be found, just Martians and mistletoe.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews aren’t being villainized; if anything, the Martians’ confusion is played for laughs rather than a social statement. There’s no ideological agenda, just zany, innocent fun for the whole family.
