Episode 114 - RoboCop (1987)

Well... this one felt a little different when we recorded it. To ring in the New Year, we decided to satisfy one listener's request to watch one of the greatest sci-fi action flicks of all-time. Then, things got crazy and now a satire about how authoritarianism and capitalism go hand-in-hand feels even more frighteningly relevant than it did a few hours ago. We watched RoboCop for They Called This a Movie. Sorry. Despite things going on in the news, RoboCop is a fantastic movie, and we had a great time with it. Join us as we talk about Clarence Boddicker, possibly the greatest villain ever, Dick Jones's flailing arms, and the incredible fake commercials. Buy this one for a dollar.
