SE01 EP38 - Protecting the People, Not the System: RoboCop Today


Listen Later

In this episode, we dive into Paul Verhoeven’s 1987 classic RoboCop, exploring how this sci-fi masterpiece shaped my life, my code of honor, and the way I see the world. From a childhood Walmart VHS run with Aunt Chick to the 15-year wait for the RoboCop statue I helped fund, we reflect on how RoboCop’s struggle to reclaim his humanity resonates today in a world of AI, corporate overreach, and privatized policing. Along the way, we ask the provocative question: would RoboCop, a man-machine fighting for justice, have supported ICE? Plus, I share how the media I consumed—from RoboCop to Spider-Man—became my personal bible, teaching lessons I still live by.
