On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are locked, loaded, and ready to take down some crime. We watched the 1987 film from Paul Verhoeven, RoboCop.

On the one hand, Officer Alex Murphy got literally shot to pieces by a bunch of murderous thugs. On the other hand, he ended up becoming an unstoppable justice machine.

Most people would say that’s a terrible trade-off, but who among us hasn’t dreamt of being invulnerable and badass? Who hasn’t wanted to be draped in chrome?

I posit that becoming RoboCop wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world. Get rid of the memory suppression and he’s pretty much a superhero. That isn’t too bad.
