44 - Rossum's Universal Robocops
While Josh is out building Delta City, Brian and A.J. make their way to the streets of Old Detroit and go toe to metallic boot with the future of law enforcement: Robocop. They discuss Paul Verhoeven’s Looney Tunes aesthetic, the logistics of jaw acting, and the seeming indestructibility of 80’s Nostalgia.

I have rewatched Total Recall on the big screen a couple of years ago, and it was AMAZING. All the English I am typing because of Muzzy.
Muzzy brings me back, I learnt english with it. "I love clocks"
I hadn’t thought of Muzzy in ages!
The I'd buy that for a dollar nonce becoming president... Yeah feels far too precient now...
AJ is the only reason I know what Muzzy is but I regret to inform you that it is in fact real.
I absolutely joke about the Muzzy ads with multiple people in my life
Name the time, name the place, name the color of high waisted pugilist trousers bc I will fight at least 2 of you over the oeuvre of PV (on my second whiskey, not going to spell his name). The way I think of his movies is that they are movies meant for fascist societies or, even more meta, the world in which it takes place. The best example is Starship Troopers which is a film that would be made in a fascist society that is losing a war against the Bugs. Mildly subversive but with a big message of hope at the end as our attractive, square jawed protagonist gets the girl in the end and Zim got the queen too! This theory falls apart when you watch the Invisible Man…
josh likes verhoeven. sadly he was unable to be in attendance for this episode
