On this week's episode, Chris and Sylvie finally put to bed the hot-button media debate of our age - Is RoboCop PoLiTiCaL?? While the Paul Verhoeven 1987 masterpiece is unassailable on this front, what about the oft forgotten attempt to soften the hard edges of the NSFW sci-fi satire for Saturday morning television that premiered a year later? What gets lost in translation when you take one of the hardest R-rated movies ever released that poignantly and painfully tackles reagonomics, capitalism, dehumanization, and the militarization of the police force and make it for kids? And the most pressing question, does this make RoboCop technically Canadian?

Episode covered for the podcast is Episode 4 "The Brotherhood." Written by John Shirley and directed by Bill Hutton & Tony Love. Original airdate October 22, 1988.
