Fifty Years of Shit Robots

50. TETSUJIN 28 GO (AWAY)

Season 6, Ep. 3

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 have a cheeky look at not one but TWO Japanese TV animations, Tetsujin 28 GO and Gigantor. They are the same show with the same robot but is it any good?


WARNING! The S**t-bomb is sometimes uttered but nothing more.
