Join us this week as we discuss Paul Verhoeven's 1987 sci-fi action satire RoboCop. We talk about the film's surprising depth as a piece of dystopian fiction, especially as it relates to Reaganomics and capitalism in general. The film also portrays media and media consumption as equally depressing and hilarious, and we discuss how this relates to our relationship with media today. It's also a film about a cyborg kicking ass and of course we talk about how enjoyable that is.
As always we hope you enjoy the episode and we'll catch you next Monday for a chat about Alien: Romulus.
