Brave New Jersey

The year is 1938, and the citizens of one small New Jersey town believe the radio broadcast of the War of the Worlds is a real invasion. Brave New Jersey is a light comedy, featuring a pushover mayor (Tony Hale) who loves his town, a neglected housewife Lorraine Davison (Heather Burns), her ambitious husband (Sam Jaeger), a washed up preacher (Dan Bakkedahl), and decorated World War one hero, Captain Ambrose P. Collins (Raymond J. Barry), who leads the scared townfolk into defending their land.
