Sci-Fi Party Line #359 Epic Dump: Turd of the Decade

Cat (@fancyfembot) and Carl (@robominister) get together for their annual tradition, THE TURD OFF. This year is a little different; WE MADE A VIDCAST! Also, due to the Covid-19 Global Pandemic we switched it up a bit this year. We gathered all the films from Turd’s past and put them head to head to determine THE TURD OF THE DECADE.

Turd Criteria:
1) Squandered Effects: Did they have a big budget and use special effects in a meaningful way to advance the story or were the special effects not compelling and misused/underutilized given the budget of the film?
2) Acting?: Did the acting contribute to the enjoyment of the film or was it painful to watch? Did the casting make sense for the film?
3) Turdage Per Dollar: Was there a big budget and nothing to show for it? Did they use the budget to create an effective film or was it wasted?
4) Fury Upon Exit: Were you pissed off when you were done watching this film? Do you still have residual fury when you talk about it?
5) Which Sequel Would Offend the Least?: Do you want a sequel? Could you tolerate a sequel?

Sci-Fi Party Line #132 Guy’s Guide to Prometheus


“Look, flip-flops are real!”
-Carl (@robominister)

“If I’m on a ship that long, you’re lucky if I wear pants.”
-Darrell (@thevoice123)

“Really? You’re gonna play with the penis slug that just came out of the goo? You’re really going to go up and shake it’s… head?”
-Eric (@Bullitt33)

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

This is the second of our Prometheus episodes. Today’s crew is Darrell, Eric, Carl, and Cat. No shawarma but Carl almost barfs at the mention of Deep Star Six. Eric has the best names for the aliens in Prometheus: vulva hydras and penis slug. Darrell just wants to be pantsless. Cat is still trying to get Carl to watch Lockout.

Music from the Prometheus Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.
