    "Can you FLY, Bobby?"
     
    Alan and Rob usher in 2024 by taking a brief vacation from Metropolis all the way to Old Detroit (or is it Delta City by now?) to delve deeply into all the cybernetic treasures in the RoboCop franchise! Who is he? What is he? Is he a superhero or not? 
     
    In addition to Paul Verhoeven's original 1987 masterpiece, we talk the highs and lows of the sequels! The comics! The toys! The Joel Edgerton reboot! The TV miniseries from 2001! And of course, the hidden gem of the franchise (no seriously!), 1994's Canada-tastic RoboCop: The Series.
     
    PLUS we give our thoughts on the recently released RoboCop: Rogue City for PC and consoles. 
    This episode is a long one! Use the timecodes if you want to skip around!
     
    Joining the lads is returning guest Stuart Mulrain from the  And Why Not? podcast. Check out Stuart's own episode reviewing the first RoboCop movie!
