Sci-Fi Party Line #261 2016 Film Review + TURD OFF – Pt 1


It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

It’s the SEVENTH ANNUAL SCI-FI PARTY LINE TURD OFF!
Cat (@fancyfembot) and Carl (@robominister) come together for our yearly tradition. We started off with 5th Wave but Carl receives a call from his mom IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SHOW. We resumed with other small budget films Divergent, Max Steel, Equals, Cell, Approaching the Unknown, and 10 Cloverfield Lane.
The first turd, as declared by Cat, comes up as Arrival. The last space film discussed was Passengers. After those we transition into superhero films: Dead Pool, Suicide Squad, and briefly Batman v. Superman.

“If I had driven my car to the theater — and left it — it would have doubled the box office of this film.”
Carl on Approaching the Unknown

“Newborn friggin’ babies can put this puzzle together.”
Cat on Arrival

Sci-Fi Party Line #209 Automata, Robocop, The Signal – Turd Off Part 1

ANBTONIO BANDERAS

“She looks like someone disassembled a crash test dummy and mixed it with a store mannequin.”
– Carl (@robominister)

“It doesn’t matter what form the robot takes (because) it’s gonna be able to survive. It didn’t need to be in roach form.”
– Cat (@fancyfembot)

“Sure it’s gonna cause a little chaos in the beginning but eventually it’s gonna say ‘You know what? This is a dumb game. The only way to win is not to play’.”
– Carl (@robominister)

“The painful part about it is that I absolutely pulled this switch off of a tree and asked Carl to spank me with it.”
– Cat (@fancyfembot)
