Since it’s 30 years since the iconic, brilliant Robocop was released, we ask, what made it so good? And why did the 2014 remake miss the mark?
In this episode:
We hail Paul Verhoeven, the king of SciFi
Joel Kinnaman makes his return to Diminishing Returns (as does Ronny Cox)
HR procedures in OCP
Going to work with a smile with Clarence Boddicker and gang
The late, great Miguel Ferrer
Peter Weller and the other great pop culture Weller
And another almost certainly uncannily accurate impression from Chris!
Remind yourself of the films here:
