It’s science fact vs. science fiction this week  as we tackle the latest from Christopher Nolan and an '80s classic from Paul Verhoeven. These are two inventive films about men losing control of their inventions—but only one will get the coveted 5-star treatment! You may have heard of J. Robert Oppenheimer, and you might know about RoboCop, but there’s a new guy in town…and his name is ROBOCOPPENHEIMER!
