There were so many Skype issues with this recording that there is no intro to the show and Stephanie ended up recording via phone. Today’s crew is Stephanie (@stephbystereo), Carl (@robominister), and (@fancyfembot) and today we discuss Grimm… and this is 5 episodes behind the finale. We were FORCED to discuss Revolution (@29:15) by Carl. We end on a great note with the Walking Dead (@42:40) finale. Cat is super-excited that Wesley Snipes is out of jail and has a new film called Gallowwalkers… actually Carl is excited about that and Madea’s Christmas.
“It felt like an 80 year old man was trying to tell me about WiFi and I’m not hearing what he has to say because he just got off of 56K yesterday.”
-Cat (@fancyfembot) about ‘The Bells of St. John’
[[[[[[[[[[[[[ SPOILER ALERT ]]]]]]]]]]]]]
Spoiler alert because if you haven’t seen ‘The Bells of St. John’ by now… forget it. Yeah so, this episode was recorded back in March. It’s aged like fine wine. AMIRIGHTORWHAT?!?
“Black people are the Highlanders in this series.”

BEWARE! This episode is unedited.
Apologies for the gap in episodes but today you get a behemoth and a new special guest, Jaimel (@jaimelhemphill)of The Geeky Tragedy Podcast. Darrell (@thevoice123) returns, your host Carl (@robominister) brings back the cranky old man routine, and your hostess Cat (@fancyfembot) wrangles them all.
Here are the highlights from the tweets that started it all:
@robominister @fancyfembot It wasn't the sci-fi you wanted. SGU is the Mass Effect 3 of shows. People only dislike it because it was cool to
“The ultimate turd has gotta inspire something in you. You gotta FEEL a turd. I’m sorry, Ghost Rider was not good but I was not ‘moved’.”
-Carl (@robominister)
“Bill and Ted is the best example of time looping use in a sci-fi movie period… better than Back to the Future… and I will challenge anyone to say otherwise.”
-Carl (@robominister)
“Watch Birdemic before you watch this.”
-Cat (@fancyfembot)

Welcome to the final show of 1012 and our 3RD Annual TURD OFF! Cat and Carl are keeping with their yearly tradition of finding the worst films of the year.
This year’s candidates aren’t so clear and they chose from Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengence, Underworld Awakening, Lockout, Total Recall, Looper, Branded, and Dredd 3D. You’ll be surprised (baffled questionmark?) at the winner!
“Were you excited to see his coming?”
-Cat (@fancyfembot) about Tyrese and The Walking Dead
“That’s what she said.”
-Eric (@bullitt33) in response to Cat
“We’ll make everyone look like they escaped from One Tree Hill but we’ll *say* it’s post-apocalyptic.”
-Carl (@robominister) on Revolution and Terra Nova
“It felt a little Henson-esque.”
-Carl (@robominister) on The Hobbit
“It was absolutely beautiful.”
-Cat (@fancyfembot) on The Hobbit

“Out of Sasha Roiz’s mouth comes the words ‘Lego hair just like a helmet’ and I was like WHAT?” -Stephanie (@stephbystereo)
“I will NOT apologize for asking Sasha Roiz to take his shirt off.”
-Cat (@fancyfembot)
“I’m a little bit dubious of that whole thing because REALLY? You’re gonna eat an entire person and there’s not gonna be any carcass remaining?”
-Stephanie (@stephbystereo)
“That’s why I don’t like spoilers… because my imagination is way better than TV and I get super pumped up and then they deliver and it’s just like blue balls.”
-Cat (@fancyfembot)
“There’s a love story brewing between Michonne and recovering racist Merle.”
-Stephanie (@stephbystereo)
So yeah… this episode was recorded on November 23rd but it’s still awesome so give it a listen.
At the top of the episode we discuss how Stephanie noticed an interesting segment on Hulu’s The Morning After. She thinks that folks from that fine program may be listening to our podcast and quite possibly Sasha Roiz himself! [The video was pulled from Hulu. We smell a conspiracy!]
We discuss Nick’s hair at great length on episodes #117 and #119.
Today’s topics are Grimm (@7:50), The Walking Dead (@24:20), and Fringe (@49:55). We also talk about why we haven’t watched Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome and Cat ends with a grumpy old lady space rant.
