Robocop (1987)

Sometimes you just wanna watch an old favorite, you know? For us, that's Paul Verhoeven's 1987 genre-making classic, Robocop. Starring Peter Weller and Kurtwood Smith and made for a much smaller budget than you'd think, Robocop's a slim hundred minute satire of US corporatism and creates one of the most iconic characters in American sci-fi. Set in the near future, Robcop contemplates an unthinkable world where an enormous corporation is endeavoring to gentrify major urban areas and replace human workers with AI, set against a backdrop of increasingly militarized police and privatized public services. Can you imagine? Float along with the manatees as they enjoy this old favorite once again, snark about modern politics, and of course discuss child-rearing and the appropriate age at which ultra-violence can help a child be better adjusted, among other important topics. Float along and have a watch, it's Robocop.
