Podcasts about officer alex murphy

Send us a textOn the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are locked, loaded, and ready to take down some crime. We watched the 1987 film from Paul Verhoeven, RoboCop.On the one hand, Officer Alex Murphy got literally shot to pieces by a bunch of murderous thugs. On the other hand, he ended up becoming an unstoppable justice machine.Most people would say that's a terrible trade-off, but who among us hasn't dreamt of being invulnerable and badass? Who hasn't wanted to be draped in chrome?I posit that becoming RoboCop wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. Get rid of the memory suppression and he's pretty much a superhero. That isn't too bad.(Recorded on February 03, 2025)Links to Stuff We Mentioned:RoboCop - The Movie Database (TMDB)RoboCop trailer - YouTubePaul Verhoeven — The Movie Database (TMDB)Peter Weller — The Movie Database (TMDB)Nancy Allen — The Movie Database (TMDB)Kurtwood Smith — The Movie Database (TMDB)That '70s Show (TV Series 1998–2006) — The Movie Database (TMDB)Pulp Fiction (1994) — The Movie Database (TMDB)RoboCop 2 (1990) — The Movie Database (TMDB)RoboCop 3 (1993) — The Movie Database (TMDB)RoboCop (2014) — The Movie Database (TMDB)Miguel Ferrer — The Movie Database (TMDB)Joker's Face | Batman Wiki - FandomThe Heat (2013) — The Movie Database (TMDB)Follow Us:Give us a rating and review on Apple Podcasts!Sean's Letterboxd profile!Steven's Letterboxd profile!Our Buzzsprout site!Our Instagram profile!Support the show

Clarence Boddicker couldn't kill Officer Alex Murphy--the policeman rose again as the unstoppable Robocop. But what Boddicker started director Fred Dekker finished with Robocop 3. With a new man in the robosuit, a robot ninja, and a jetpack, the third Robocop film was both a critical and box office failure that would end the original franchise, save for some television projects, and doom Murphy to 21 years of obsolescence. But can the film, written by comic cult icon Frank Miller, be as bad as its reputation? Listen to Arnie, Stuart, and Jakob's review to find out!
