– Carl (@robominister)

“I’m gonna dominate you into being my bitch, my transforming dino bitch.”
– Cat (@fancyfembot)

“The dialogue is a freakish Bingo game of cliches and catchphrases.”
– Carl (@robominister)

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)

starwars_force_awakens

“OMG, he looks like a Baby Denzel Washington!”
– Cat (@fancyfembot)

“I thought it was a giant pregnancy test.”
– Stephanie (@stephbystereo)

“He apparently had some sort of exhaust problem with his light saber.”
– Carl (@robominister)

It’s only 88 seconds long but Cat, Stephanie, and Carl talked about the brand spanking new Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer for an entire hour! We go frame-by-frame… well at least Cat tries to wrangle Carl & Stephanie to stay on topic as it took a lot of effort to coax them out of their Thanksgiving tryptophan coma.

Carl and Cat have a very special guest, actor Michael O’Neill from CBS’s new sci-fi show Extant. We also talked about his roles on Grey’s Anatomy, The West Wing, Bates Motel, Dallas Buyer’s Club, Rectify, and of course, Extant. Micheal also shares some of his favorite sci-fi films and TV shows with us. We were privy to a few behind-the-scenes tidbits which were a lot of fun! Be sure to listen all the way to the end because there is great information about Extant in the pre-show banter.
