RoboCop (1987)
"Dead or alive you're listening to this episode ActionBoyz Guyz and Girlz" It's fucking ROBOCOP this week. This movie is why this show exsists. It's got it all... filthy language, nudity, extreme violence, inspired action and a Dutch weirdo's sick point of view. Rest assured the Boyz leave no stone unturned and no limb un-bionic. Find out how this film inspired a sexual awakening in Gabrus and marvel at Stanger's inane theory on the last line of the movie. "Yes, I understand" should be your only response when someone says ROBOCOP is one of the best movies of all time. If it's not, then it better be "I'd buy that for a dollar." If it's neither - why are you listening?

Great movie! Great ep! I too saw this movie at extremely young age and helped shape me into the dystopian nightmare I am today.
No way they did a take of him saying “Robocop” lol Why would the head of the company not know his street name is Robocop? Im pretty sure the point is for us to recognizing his humanity :) Either way funny episode!!
Hell yeah
The union for plumbers is called the Pipefitters Union
Im in the pipe hitters union.
Under Siege 2
It's too bad they never did a Death Wish/Robocop crossover where Paul Kersey takes on the rebels in Acapulco.
I don't know where to put this so I'll just put it here for the fellow boyz it would be cool if they released an episode about Streets of Fire bye
This was one of the best episodes ever. Dar Jones sending Stanger Gorgon after the Boyz had me dying. Also, an “Action Boyz I’m Not Mad” shirt would be good
Has anyone listened to the Butler Brothers’ “I Was There Too” episode? Good stories about how they came up with NUKEM.
Do you mean the 'Kevin Page' episode? I've yet to hear it but I'm not sure if that's the one you're referring to.
I feel like tackling this giant of a movie has opened the door for some previously discussed ABZ episode re-visits. Just imagine a fresh take on Predator with a Dar cameo.
It's funny listening to the H&M Predator episode where Rodgers says he doesn't want to go through the plot. Flash forward to his serial-killer like dedication to recalling the plot piece by piece.
At Monsterpalooza last year I saw a preview for a documentary about Phil Tippett who did the ED209 stop-motion effects. Dudes work is amazing.
Having trouble eating my wife's pussy, Robocop?
Jamaican engineering.
Stangerbot won an AV Club 2018 Superlative! I hope he brings it up when he's back in Val Verde
My favourite part of that article is where they describe Stanger as a "comedian".
Battle Toads was impossible.
That hit home.
M249’s are light machine guns that fire 5.56mm. M2 is the .50 cal. Both found in infantry companies in US Military.
Don’t steal Jepsen’s vibe.
I haven't listened yet but I hope they get into how many legs a real robot man would have.
They built a 10 foot tall bronze statue of Robocop and it is now at the Michigan Science Center in Detroit. Corktown launched the campaign to crowd-fund the statue in 2011 and wound up raising more than $67,000. In a 2011 interview with the Free Press, original “RoboCop” director Paul Verhoeven said he was aware of the crowd-funded project. "I had no problem with it, let's put it that way," he said. "Perhaps I should see it as my most important contribution as a Dutchman to American culture."
That’s amazing
Verhoeven is my favorite reoccurring character.
Potential Starship Troopers foreshadowing?
Go Robo.
The mention of Police Academy had me wondering if one of the films is action Boyz material...checks a lot of boxes...I feel like Gabrus has a soft spot for the Miami one...
I would love the Miami one!
listening on my way to work down at the old sludge plant
Listened at work down at the Circle K while I did my astrophysics homework.
