“The ultimate turd has gotta inspire something in you. You gotta FEEL a turd. I’m sorry, Ghost Rider was not good but I was not ‘moved’.”
-Carl (@robominister)

“Bill and Ted is the best example of time looping use in a sci-fi movie period… better than Back to the Future… and I will challenge anyone to say otherwise.”

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

Welcome to the final show of 1012 and our 3RD Annual TURD OFF! Cat and Carl are keeping with their yearly tradition of finding the worst films of the year.

This year’s candidates aren’t so clear and they chose from Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengence, Underworld Awakening, Lockout, Total Recall, Looper, Branded, and Dredd 3D. You’ll be surprised (baffled questionmark?) at the winner!

“I will NOT apologize for asking Sasha Roiz to take his shirt off.”

“I’m a little bit dubious of that whole thing because REALLY? You’re gonna eat an entire person and there’s not gonna be any carcass remaining?”
-Stephanie (@stephbystereo)

“That’s why I don’t like spoilers… because my imagination is way better than TV and I get super pumped up and then they deliver and it’s just like blue balls.”

So yeah… this episode was recorded on November 23rd but it’s still awesome so give it a listen.

At the top of the episode we discuss how Stephanie noticed an interesting segment on Hulu’s The Morning After. She thinks that folks from that fine program may be listening to our podcast and quite possibly Sasha Roiz himself! [The video was pulled from Hulu. We smell a conspiracy!]

We discuss Nick’s hair at great length on episodes #117 and #119.

Today’s topics are Grimm (@7:50), The Walking Dead (@24:20), and Fringe (@49:55). We also talk about why we haven’t watched Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome and Cat ends with a grumpy old lady space rant.

Today’s crew is Carl, Stephanie, and Cat. Today we talk about Iron Sky and Mercury Men. Carl orders us to watch Iron Sky. Cat has a rough start but eventually explains why she likes and Stephanie is not so impressed. Cat tries again to get Carl to watch Birdemic in preparation for Birdemic 2: The Resurrection. We talk about Stephanie’s demand for us to Monster A Go-Go (@40:10). We now understand why it is listed as one of the worst films of all times. Carl also introduced us to Mercury Men (@52:00). At some point Stephanie and Cat break out in a giggle fit. We regain our composure and talk about our Andromeda Strain Tweet Off, My Roommate the Cylon, Pioneer One, The Booth at the End, and Space Command. Stephanie coined Carl’s very own hashtag, #CarlWorthy.

We end with shoe pants.

We discuss the film and cover everything from Catwoman’s heels to Bane’s mush-mouth. An hour into the show Cat realizes she’s not recording but Eric’s system automatically records and saves the day. Eric also treats us to a great Bane impression.

This episode has the shawarma on the inside! Towards the end the conversation we talk about The Justice League vs. The Avengers and the new Man of Steel movie. There are Superman comic book and possible movie spoilers at 1:29:40. Cat voices her concern for Ant-Man at 1:36:40. There is a Total Recall discussion at 1:45:59 through 1:48:10 and includes location spoilers. If you know about that already, listen freely.

We have two, count them TWO Skyline digs this episode. No episodes of Heroes were harmed in the recording of this show.
