The guys talk about the weird, child-friendly legacy of Robocop's hard-R dystopian satire; and marvel at the pre-internet-porn sensation of Sharon Stone's star turn in Basic Instinct.Also, does Michael Douglas play the dumbest cop in cinema history?Like Peter Weller's cyber-enhanced agent of the law, this episode is part genuine analysis, part gentle ribbing--all in good fun!Show Links:Watch the Robocop (1987) trailer.Watch the Basic Instinct trailer.Keep up with all of Mike Crowley's goings-on at You'll Probably Agree and 25YL.Subscribe to, like, and comment on the Kicking the Seat YouTube channel!
