Programmer's Pick

If you’ve ever wondered what happens when a British sex comedy collides headlong with a sci-fi spoof, Spaced Out delivers the answer—complete with a female alien crew, a gay computer voice-over, and a herd of cows mistaken for an invading army. It’s as cheeky as its title implies.

Overview

When a malfunctioning cargo ship from Betelgeuse crash-lands in the English countryside, it attracts the attention of four locals: Oliver, his fiancée Prudence, bumbling shop assistant Willy, and dog-walker Cliff. Drawn aboard the mysterious vessel, they meet its all-female alien crew—engineer Partha, nurse Cosia, and their captain, Skipper—whose curiosity about human anatomy quickly takes a turn for the awkward. As misunderstandings and comic mishaps unfold, the earthlings and their extraterrestrial hosts fumble through a series of risqué encounters, fueled by mistaken identities, dropped porn magazines, and a healthy dose of British farce. A cheeky send-up of sci-fi conventions and sex comedies, this film revels in playful parody and bawdy setups.
