We Love the Love

Robots (2005)


Listen Later

We're attempting to assemble a coherent romance from the incomplete parts of Chris Wedge's 2005 BlueSky film Robots - and mostly failing.

Join in as we discuss impractical public transit systems, William Joyce's great character and world design, and our favorite (of many) fart jokes.

Plus: How do robots die? Do they have souls? Why is this movie's premise so impossibly dark? Why do the female robots have nothing to do? And why was the Meet the Robinsons trailer so incredibly memeable?

Make sure to rate, review, and subscribe!

Next week: Eragon (2006)
