This week on Remainders, we celebrate our 50th episode in style with the 1987 satirical classic, RoboCop. The story of Alex Murphy, a Detroit cop who is executed only to be remade by corporate America as the ultimate police enforcer. Paul Verhoeven’s action movie could be viewed as just a seminal piece of 80s action filmmaking, but that would still be selling it short. RoboCop builds upon ideas of capitalism, creeping fascism, and media propaganda in a way that very few movies can manage. I’d buy that for a dollar!
Other topics include Darren’s work at the When We Were Young festival, Halloween movies, the Music Box Theatre’s 24-hour horror festival, 1980’s Alligator and other creature features, Scorsese and first impressions of Killers of the Flower Moon, and upcoming TLB and Plain White T’s shows.
