Pod People is a 1983 Spanish science fiction film directed by Juan Piquer Simón. A young boy discovers a lovable alien creature, but the alien's mother is on the prowl. The film was originally meant to be about evil aliens, but the plot was changed to cash in on the success of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial
. The film was largely forgotten until 1991 when it was lampooned by Mystery Science Theater 3000 and later released in this format by Rhino Home Video.

While members of a rock band are camping in the woods, hunters nearby discover a stash of huge eggs and begin smashing them. One baby alien escapes while the mother takes her revenge, first on the hunters and then on members of the band. The baby, a furry creature with an elephant-like trunk, is lost in the woods and is found by Tommy, who lives in a secluded house with his aunt and uncle. Tommy nicknames him "Trumpy", and they become playmates. As the dangerous mother alien continues looking for her child, the rock band seeks out Tommy's house for refuge.

In one early scene, the rock band is seen attempting to record a hot-rodding tune in the studio. After one attempted take, the band's lead singer sneers and offers a succinct judgment: "It stinks!"
