108. COLOSSUS: THE FORBIN PROJECT
Between Metropolis and Star Wars lies a 50 year wasteland of terrible movie robots. Every week we rate the robot from a movie, if it gets a score of 7 out of 10 then we say that it is not a shit robot. Today, we usher in a new season by stepping into the glorious 1970s with a film from 1971, COLOSSUS: THE FORBIN PROJECT. This film features a rogue AI computer that wants to enslave humanity but is it shit?
