Show Notes
Between Metropolis and Star Wars lies a 50 year wasteland of terrible movie robots. Today, we're reposting our episode on the multi-Golden Globe winning Oppenheimer. We know it doesn't have any robots in but the film deals with a subject that has cast a long shadow over the robot films of the 1950s and 60s. There are no spoilers, just in case you haven't seen it.
WARNING! The S**t-bomb is sometimes uttered but nothing more.
