Like RoboCop himself, beneath this film's flashy exterior lies turmoil and humanity. Guests comedian Rich Baker (@richbakercoaching) and Dan Oster (MadTV, A Podcast, But Evil) join us to investigate Paul Veerhoven's dystopian satire of dehumanization, but one that still manages to kick a lot of iron butt. I'd buy that for a dollar.
