295. Robocop

In a dystopic and crime-ridden Detroit, a terminally wounded cop returns to the force as a powerful cyborg haunted by submerged memories.

It is a ridiculous name but also a ridiculous movie. I think the satire of the thing is lost on people who take it straight. The entire point, to me, is that it is over the top. It pokes fun at itself. It is funny in parts. It’s not a big emotional story or anything. I think that’s part of the problem with the remake. They took it way too seriously

If you haven’t seen it, you should. There are some pretty gruesome violent parts near the start. Honestly throughout.  Ok all the time. Profanity also. But I do recommend.
