Show Notes
Between Metropolis and Star Wars lies a 50 year wasteland of terrible movie robots. Today, we open up another Sideborg full of juicy, filthy facts. In this episode, after watching SEX KITTENS GO TO COLLEGE, Stephen Murray turns his massive robot brain to the subject of real-life robots. It's a goodie.
WARNING! The S**t-bomb is sometimes uttered but nothing more.
