the-last-ship-tnt

“We have CSI:New York guy that we’ve never seen before hand Julia Shumway Chekhov’s knife…”
– Cat (@fancyfembot)

“A ghost girl, in a high school, in a Stephen King story.. That’s something I haven’t heard of before…”
– Carl (@robominister)

“I was reluctant going in to The Last Ship because Michael Bay is involved. He’s not always known for his subtlety.”
– Carl (@robominister)

This week’s crew is Cat and Carl and they discuss the premiere of Under the Dome and the pilot of The Last Ship (@28:11).

“If someone put me on a desert island and said ‘Heeyyyy we hate you and we’re gonna give you two shows to watch Revolution or Falling Skies’. I’d watch Falling Skies and then I’d kill myself.”

Note: Yes. I know I was wrong about Once Upon a Time in Wonderland.

Sci-Fi Party Line #134 Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter & Falling Skies

“Ladies and gentleman I managed to hold it in but I will like to point it out to all of our listeners how Cat has managed to work in ‘Thor’ AND Liam Neeson in a minute and 25 seconds.”
-Carl (@robominister)

“Seriously, I’d want to slap somebody with a horse.”
-Cat (@fancyfembot)

“It seemed like the entire film was a different mod for ‘The Matrix’. Henry was Morpheus…”
-Eric (@Bullitt33)

Sci-Fi Party Line #100 Madness in podcast form

“It’s a sci-fi gumbo of a lot of things from yesteryear kind of thrown in and left to simmer.”
-Eric (@BullittWHO) on ‘Super 8’.

Eric: Does anyone know who played the alien?
Carl (@robotcast): Probably the same person who played ‘Cloverfield’.

“My mouth said Bill Gates but my heart says Steve Jobs.”
-Cat (@fancyfembot) on her ‘Pirates of Silicon Valley’ flub.

“My take on the movie is that it was like ‘Inception’ if it was told by an idiot.”
-Will (@LW_Will) on ‘Sucker Punch’.

“The best part of ‘Transformers 3’ was the ‘Captain America’ trailer.”
-Charles (@hal2814)

[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[SPOILER ALERT ]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]

This is our craziest show yet!

For the 100th show, we did a live episode with nine voice participants and a handful of chat participants via Talkshoe. It was a verbal Road Warrior-styled discussion that was the most fun we’ve had on Sci-Fi Party Line history. The guests were the usual suspects of Carl, Eric, Will, Darrell, Hanako, Alex, Charles and Phineas. Thanks to some of the folks in the chat room: Merlin, Datalore, Willisgirl, Becky and more.

Today’s vocabulary words are schmaltz and Benetton.

There were some audio issues in places but power through it, they go away. We tried to be PG-13 but it ended up being R. We talked about and spoiled Super 8, X-Men: First Class (and how the “black man” always dies first), Thor, Falling Skies, Game of Thrones, Caprica, True Blood and Camelot. We mentioned Transformers 3 and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows but did not spoil them. There were side discussions about The Uncanny X-Men, Michael Ironside, pickup trucks and old man Carl shows up.

Prepare for CatConOne in 2020. Easter egg at the end for those who were there.

Thank you all for helping us get to 100 episodes!
