Episode 74 - Robocop Part 1

This week we check one of the big one's off the list, Paul Verhoeven's 1987 ultra-violent dystopian comedy classic:  Robocop.  And as it turns out, we may have underestimated the film, enough that once we got recording, we just couldn't keep it to one episode.  The movie has everything, and did a remarkable job at predicting the future of policing, tech, and entertainment.  Here's part 1!

The High Tech Low Life Podcast is a retrospective of cyberpunk fiction across all forms of media. Film, Television, Literature, Games, and Music are all on the table. In each episode we will revisit the property, it's influences, it's prescience, and enshrine it in the chrome and neon halls of Neo Valhalla.
