GME 20th Anniversary: RoboCopaganda

The movie poster for RoboCop (1987), featuring artwork of the titular cyborg police officer stepping out of his patrol car.

I’ll buy that for a dollar, and RoboCop (1987) is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Tom “finalfuryk” Pandich and Daryl Surat of AnimeWorldOrder.

Review in a Nutshell: Grim, blunt and flaunting an acidic sense of humor, few films have captured the cruelty and egotism of American culture like RoboCop (1987). Ignore its lessons at your own peril.

    It’s not true that nobody noticed Verhoeven’s Starship Troopers was satire on its original release, as Roger Ebert correctly noted it was bad satire in his review. COVID wasn’t close to civilization-threatening. It killed huge numbers of people, but the Black Death killed more and wasn’t so disproportionately killing the elderly (who were a much smaller portion of the population back then, for which we can compare other countries during COVID that had lower average ages). Old World diseases infecting New World populations actually did destroy civilizations, like the Mound Builders of the Midwest (who never encountered any of the Europeans that had brought over the disease that destroyed their society). Congratulations on making it two decades. So many of the podcasts I started listening to around the same time are defunct, like I Do Movies Badly, Double Feature, Classic Horror Cast, HorrorBull, Screamcast, Movies You Should Love, The Auteurcast, Sound on Sight/Popoptiq/The Televerse etc.
