Im amazed about how much this blog rocks, im speechless, this RoboCop program was amazing, Phantom of the Paradise also.. im gonna listen to them all....
ReplyDeleteI don't know, just thank you so much for this amazing blog, which i discovered googleing for the great Mitch O COnnell art...
Cheers from Buenos Aires. And thanks again.
Might I second the vote for an episode devoted to the Last Starfighter, I've probably watched that movie more times than I'd care to count, and it's never grown old for me. A guilty pleasure, but not as guilty as Remo Williams...
ReplyDeleteInteresting how Neumeier never mentions he was working on a Judge Dredd adaptation before RoboCop. RoboCop, the tone, the satire all came from Judge Dredd the comic character in 2000AD, Neumeier didn't just think it all up by himself.
ReplyDeleteOne of the show's classic 'mega-sodes.' Mike White and Justin take a look back at one of Detroit's silver screen icons, the inimitable Robocop (where is he when you need him?)
ReplyDeleteThey rounded up seemingly everyone involved in the Robocop universe they could conceivably get their hands on. This was the point in the show's run where it became apparent that The Projection Booth were producing the podcast equivalents of DVD bonus featurettes and cinementaries (albeit for far less money.)
Required listening.
Dale Dye was also the military consultant on Spielbergs Medal of Honor games.
ReplyDeleteAny chance you still have the RoboCop 2: Corporate Wars script? I tried the link on the page, and it just brings me to a blank page link.
ReplyDeleteNo, sorry. You may need to head to the Googles.
