Cyborgs, circuits, and controller-smashing chaos converge in this week's electrifying Play Comics episode! Grab your pixel blasters and prepare for a digital demolition as we dive deep into the most metal crossover of the 90s: Robocop vs Terminator! Our special guest Ryan Placchetti from the Don't Wreck Yourself podcast joins us to dissect this multi-platform mayhem that blasted its way across the Super Nintendo, Genesis, Master System, Game Boy, and Game Gear. We'll explore the Dark Horse comic mini-series that spawned this epic robotic rumble, breaking down the circuits and carnage that made gamers and comic fans lose their mechanical minds! Learn such things as: Are Robocop or Terminator ever going to stop being relevant? Is this a bigger take on the capitalist nature of society or the true nature of police policy? Is it a feature or a bug when you have essentially different games with the same name coming out like this? And so much more!

Film summary: "There's no Whitby, there's no ship, there's no Demeter, there's no bats, there's no wolves, there's only one out of the three brides, and they whittled it down and took out a lot of the supernatural and in a way distilled it to this really, really great film and great simple story through necessity of we don't have the money for it".
