“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!

“To me, Fright Night feels like The Lost Boys meets American Psycho.”
-Cat (@fancyfembot)

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

Girl show! Steph joins Cat and they have loads of fun. They start with Nightmare on Elm Street then get to the main event: the movie review of Fright Night. Cat’s new found love for Colin Farrell has her excited about the new Total Recall (24:12). Total Recall leads to a discussion about The Lost Boys and the other two Lost Boys films that you may not have heard of or seen. Of course Steph took a minute to wax poetic about Apollo 18. Steph also gives our first Sci-Fi Party Line orgasm. You won’t believe what it was in response to. Later in the show Steph tries to sell Cat on Paranormal Activity and Ghost Hunters (57:25). We’ll let you guess how that went. Cat reveals that she will be attending another viewing of Evil Dead: The Musical this for Halloween this year (56:35). The show ends with song from the soundtrack of Evil Dead: The Musical, “Do the Necronomicon”.
