The being starts mesmerizing attractive female listeners with jivy tunes and then uses some sort of transmission contraption to shrink the listening lasses and transport them to the station, where they're placed in foot-high bottles. Apparently, he intends to take them back with him to wherever he came from. While all this goes on, the locked up DJ O'Dare is broadcasting the goings-on, but everybody listening thinks its another of the over-the-airwaves pranks that he's famous for. When a TV reporter named Lisa (Martha Quinn) shows up, the alien wants to bottle her up too, but O'Dare sees how the alien does it, and figures out a way to thwart his kidnapping scheme. ~ Rovi

Critic Reviews

Felix Vasquez Jr., Cinema Crazed
There isn't much about the film that makes sense, as it's strictly a film with the intent on shining a spotlight on early nineties surrealism and pop.

David Keyes, Cinemaphile.org
...pushes so many buttons that I wouldn't blame anyone who would like to push them back.
