To continue the cop movie themed week, Tom, Gil & I highlight the ROBOCOP trilogy, both TV shows & its remake.
We also go more into the overall focus on the characters' journeys and villainous OCP corporation while mentioning the Robodoc documentary.
TALKING POINTS INCLUDE:
*How do the movies & comic book plots basically mix a Batman type city with Lethal Weapon cops & Skynet type computer bases?
*Could the Terminator Vs. Movie had actually been made initially?
*Did anyone love the '90s TV show Rock N' Roll soundtrack?
*How come no one remembers the original unmade remake (which was arguably very imaginative)?
*Are some of the violent comedic bits also homages to Death Race 2000?
*How wild how the studios didn't get the marketing jokes in the films themselves.
*Why did MGM keep making merchandise meant to appeal to kids despite it not being for them?
*Is the new ROGUE CITY videogame the only agreed upon sequel or are there still many Part 2 & Prime Directives defenders?
*Some praise for the Arrow Blu-Ray contributing to the original film's party movie night nature
*Some Phil Tippett backstory as well according ot the latest Disney Plus ILM documentary show
*Discussing the unmade Robocoop Vs. Predator comic book project and Robocop's appearance on WCW
*We sum up how so many generations saw it before they were old enough to actually see it
*Why does the corporation always rely on local crooks to do their dirty work?
*Why were crowds okay with this versus other Verhoeven's typical OTT films?
*Can you introduce the cheesy '90s show for teens not ready to watch the movies without cringing yourself?
*Can you enjoy the 2014 rehash in a Judge Dredd/Training Day way?
*Is a Robocop Anime Anthology more feasible these days?
*Cam also shares a cool story he heard about Peter Weller's directing career from his peers.
