RoboCop Features Cinema's Smartest Shootout in a Cocaine Factory (1x13)

Udgivelsesdato: Okt 23, 2023

The year… vaguely near future. The setting… Old Detroit. The hero… a robotic cop, resurrected by corporate greed, fighting to regain some of his humanity. RoboCop, in a word, is awesome. The Paul Verhoeven masterpiece has everything you'd want from the '80s: goopy squibs, stop-motion animated robots, and a literal shootout in a cocaine factory. Clint, Cal, and Alex dig into the incredible staying power this movie has, thanks to its brilliant satire, why the extreme violence also has good comedic timing, and why the campiness in Verhoeven's career is not a bug—it's a feature.
