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 don our robot-examining equipment and take a look at the 1971 made-for-TV movie, PAPER MAN. It has an amazing cast but will we like the cut of the robot's jib? WARNING!
