“Much like the alien craft skirting along the surface the water… it was almost not a good film but it managed to somehow stay above the surface and deliver an enjoyable experience.”
-Carl (@robominister)

“Battleship… gave me exactly what I was looking for.”
-Cat (@fancyfembot)

“Peter Berg made this movie watchable. In somebody else’s hands it would have been a lesser product and probably a near disaster.”
-Eric (@Bullitt33)

In this episode we discuss Battleship. Today’s crew is Eric (@bullitt33), Carl (@robominster) and Cat (@fancyfembot). There are mentions of Skyline, GI Joe, JEM, My Little Pony, Space Stallions, He-Man. Carl gives us a mini-review of Syfy’s American Warships (1:04:13).

This week’s shawarma is Earth: Final Conflict, 80’s Mall Kickstarter Project, and bloopers. It’s starts out slow but gets ridiculous.

Barn Yard Zombie Attorney! We also feel compelled to discuss the latest developments in The Walking Dead. Zombie cow! OMG!!! Be sure to listen until the end.

“The turds will be minimally turdage, not the ones that inflicted the full bowel of last year.”

“Every movie is not supposed to be Americanized and wrapped and chewed up and regurgitated and fed to you like a baby bird.”

It’s the end of the year and we have a two-hour show jam packed full of the best and worst science fiction TV shows and movies of the year. Today’s crew is Cat and Carl. We kick off the show with the barely promoted In Time. After that we give the rules for our Second Annual Sci-Fi Turd Off (@15:51). We do a brief review of Cowboys & Aliens (@23:38) prior to putting Cowboys & Aliens and Transformers: Dark of the Moon head to head in this year’s Turd Off (@42:25). We cool off by talking about our favorite sci-fi movies of the year (@1:04:19) but get agitated again by discussing the sci-fi TV turds of the year (@1:15:40). We couldn’t end the show without a mention of SyFy’s holiday specials for Eureka, Warehouse 13, and Haven (@1:32:40). Finally, we wrap up by discussing the movies that we are anticipating in 2012 (@1:36:08).

Thank you all for a wonderful year. It wouldn’t be fun without YOU, the listeners!
