Animation Damnation - Robocop: The Animated Series
Added 2016-11-02 01:35:13 +0000 UTCOn this episode the guys chat about a ridiculous episode of Robocop: The Animated Series entitled, "The Brotherhood." Originally airing on October 22nd, 1988, this episode centers around Murphy going up against a group of Ku Klux Klan-esque robot haters called, yup, The Brotherhood! It's really something to see, so be sure to check it out in full on YouTube!

Listening to this in 2025, it's weird that Eric was waxing lyrical about AI when I know him to be such a misanthrope today. Andrew was right on the money and Eric was being naive as heck. As long as we're stuck with a capitalist system, there will absolutely not be any possibility for you to pursue your passions when AI takes your job, because like Andrew said, what's your income? The savings that companies can make from replacing workers with AI is never ever going to "trickle down" to support the people who were replaced so that they can live lives if leisure, as long as we're stuck with a system where growth and profits are paramount.

2016-11-05 13:11:52 +0000 UTCIs Clarence Boddicker also a Christ figure, though? "And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, And said unto them: Bitches, leave."

2016-11-02 11:43:30 +0000 UTCThey did the development work for a cartoon based on the movie Aliens. The tie-in toys were released, but the show itself was sensibly knocked on the head.

2016-11-02 02:10:14 +0000 UTCYou guys joke, but Murphy really is meant to be a Christ figure. Verhoeven frequently talks about how many of his movies are secret Christologies. Verhoeven is a member of the Jesus Seminar, a collection mostly of scholars devoted to reconstructing the historical Jesus. Verhoeven wrote a whole book about it, titled simply "Jesus Of Nazareth."

2016-11-02 02:05:35 +0000 UTCLove it. As a kid in the 80's all the cartoons based on R rated movies are weird. Robocop Alpha Commando is also wretched.
