“Beautiful live-action Wall-E, Equilibrium, and Moon hybrid.”
-Cat (@fancyfembot) 

“We have seen this type of foolishness before.”
-Carl (@robominister)

We officially have a lost episode. Carl and Cat recording this episode in November 2013 but Cat completely forgot about it. Here it is in all its glory.

Today we discuss Ender’s Game, Europa Report (@34:50), and Oblivion (@1:04:20). We also mention how 2010, Gravity, Moon, and even Apollo 18 relates to all of these films. Cat and Carl also have an in-depth discussion about building on the Moon.

Sci-Fi Party Line #118 In Time, 2nd Annual Sci-Fi Turd Off, A Look at 2012






“The turds will be minimally turdage, not the ones that inflicted the full bowel of last year.”
-Carl (@robominister) on our Annual Sci-Fi Turd Off

“Every movie is not supposed to be Americanized and wrapped and chewed up and regurgitated and fed to you like a baby bird.”
-Cat (@fancyfembot) on Sucker Punch

“Aliens that use lassos bother me. When you got space ships using grappling hooks; that offends me… You can defy gravity, you get all the way here and you are going to rope people?”
-Carl (@robominister) on Cowboys & Aliens

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

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!

Sci-Fi Party Line #104 Captain America, Transformers – After show: Spartacus, The Fall Guy, Automan


“I’ve been too forgiving with films. I’ve been too open. Every one that I think I might like sucked but the ones that I thought sucked? Dead on.”
-Carl (@robominister)

“I was like a skanky cat in heat after Thor.”
-Cat (@fancyfembot)

Speaking of Captain America: “What it really looked like to me… This is like the origin of GI Joe Cobra.”
-Eric (@bullitt33)

Cat and Carl are joined by Eric of A Mostly Harmless Cutaway. After your feedback we discuss the new Captain America film (@9:30) and revisit Transformers 3 (@41:45). Cat’s saw it a second time in 2D with her niece & nephews and had a change of heart. Can she convince Carl it was a decent summer flick? Carls warns us against classic Captain America films (@35:30). We address the Transformer 4/ Jason Statham rumors, talk about the new Spiderman movie and the future Avenger movie.

We had an “Sci-Fi After Party”(@1:22:00). We talk about Spartacus, man schlong, Joss Whedon, The Fall Guy, The Dukes of Hazzard, and Automan.

P.S. Sentinel Prime! Cat has called him Spock Prime, Spark Prime, Septimus Prime, Skype Prime and Sirius Prime.
