196. ROBOCOP (2014)

Karate in the Garage

Returning with our first newly recorded movie episode since we recorded Josie and the Pussycats back in March!

This month, it’s REMAKES THAT NOBODY ASKED FOR.

First up, is José Padilha’s Robocop from 2014 with Joel Kinnaman, Gary Oldman, and Michael Keaton, along with a solid supporting cast.

The beloved 1987 original has spawned two sequels, a TV show, and a long list of “starts and stops” in bringing the franchise back over the past 35 years.

It took them 14 years for this remake to hit the big screen. Was it worth the wait?

As always, and maybe even more than ever, here are some mental health resoruces for North America:

Even though we don't say it in this episode, more NOW than ever before: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE take care of yourselves and those around you.

Be mindful of your surroundings.
