Sci-Fi Party Line #340 10th Annual 2019 TURD OFF! Part 1 of 2 💩

Cat (@fancyfembot) and Carl (@robominister) due their yearly “dooty” and push out the sci-fi turds of 2019! Listen to part 1 as we sort through the stinky contenders that are striving for the brown! 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?
