Fifty Years of Shit Robots

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?WARNING! The S**t-bomb is sometimes uttered but nothing more. To join our incredible new Patreon club and get access to secret, exclusive podcasts then head to https://www.patreon.com/50YOSRPatreon: @50YOSRTikTok: @FiftyYOSRInsta: @FiftyYOSRNOTES50 YEARS OF SHIT ROBOTS PATREONhttps://www.patreon.com/50YOSRCOLOSSUS THE FORBIN PROJECT TRAILERhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyOEwiQhzMI SHAKEY THE ROBOThttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bsEN8mwUB8 K.A.R.Rhttps://villains.fandom.com/wiki/K.A.R.R._(Knight_Rider) SUSAN BENNETT – VOICE OF SIRIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vP_cGsfMwi0 AI DISCOVERS MILLIONS OF NEW MATERIALShttps://www.freethink.com/robots-ai/google-ai-discovers-2-2-million-new-materials FACEBOOK AI CREATE NEW LANGUAGEhttps://www.forbes.com/sites/tonybradley/2017/07/31/facebook-ai-creates-its-own-language-in-creepy-preview-of-our-potential-future/ BART SIMPSON NUDE SKATEBOARDINGhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzk9JQIe2ic
