Bad Channels is a campy sci-fi horror comedy from 1992, directed by legendary horror filmmaker Ted Nicolaou. The film follows a sleazy rock DJ named Dan O'Dare (played by Robert Factor), who is hired by a small-town radio station to cover a music festival. However, things take a bizarre twist when an alien race known as the "Plexians" arrive on Earth and begin using the radio waves to capture and transport young women for their own nefarious purposes.

Martha Quinn plays Lisa Cummings, a young station manager who hires Dan for the gig. She has a love interest in him, but he's more interested in himself and the ladies. In the meantime, the Plexians begin their invasion by using a small satellite dish to broadcast hypnotic signals that lure young women to their doom.

As the music festival kicks off, Dan finds himself in the thick of things when he witnesses a young woman being abducted by the aliens. Desperate to uncover the truth, he discovers that the Plexians have set up a laboratory in the town's abandoned movie theater. There, they perform experiments on their human captives as they prepare to invade Earth.

Dan must team up with a local scientist (played by Aaron Lustig) and a security guard (Michael Huddleston) to stop the aliens before it's too late. But as the Plexians' hold on the town grows stronger, Dan and his allies are faced with increasingly bizarre and dangerous obstacles.

Bad Channels features an eclectic mix of horror, sci-fi, and comedy that is sure to appeal to fans of B-movie classics. The film's low budget and practical effects bring a certain charm to the proceedings, and the goofy performances by the cast only add to the fun.

Overall, Bad Channels is a fun and entertaining cult classic that should be enjoyed with a group of friends and a few laughs. Featuring catchy rock songs and bizarre alien creatures, this is one movie that shouldn't be missed by fans of weird cinema.

Bad Channels is a 1992 science fiction movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 21 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.1.
