Fifty Years of Shit Robots
87. OPPENHEIMER REPOST
Between Metropolis and Star Wars lies a 50 year wasteland of terrible movie robots. Today, we're reposting our episode on the multi-Golden Globe winning Oppenheimer. We know it doesn't have any robots in but the film deals with a subject that has cast a long shadow over the robot films of the 1950s and 60s. There are no spoilers, just in case you haven't seen it.
WARNING! The S**t-bomb is sometimes uttered but nothing more.

22:53|Welcome to our 50 Years of Shit Robots Patreon cult. Today, you can have a sneaky peak of the chat we had after we'd watched Sleeper. It's a rambling but very interesting chat about the Hayes Code, queerness in cinema and smutty names. It is completely off the top of our heads and not meant to be an exhaustive chat on the subject.
