 In this episode of The Introverted Obelisk, we descend into the fever-dream logic of Robot Monster (1953), a film where humanity is annihilated by a gorilla in a diving helmet with Wi-Fi issues. Join us as we unravel a plot held together by bubble machines, philosophical monologues about murder, and an ape-creature named Ro-Man who falls in love, develops free will, and still manages to blow up the Earth—twice. It’s science fiction by way of backyard cosplay, and we’re here for every baffling, glorious minute. Pour yourself something sinister and brace for impact. Ro-Man demands your compliance.
