Between Metropolis and Star Wars lies a 50 year wasteland of terrible movie robots. Happy new year, we kick off 2023 with a deep dive into the 1999 movie, Bicentennial Man. Will it be a wonderful tribute to Isaac Asimov's legacy? Almost certainly not.

WARNING! The S**t-bomb is sometimes uttered but nothing more. Although, the word 'dick' gets used a LOT in this episode.

Between Metropolis and Star Wars lies a 50 year wasteland of terrible movie robots. Today, we are in 1945. The Monster and the Ape is without doubt, one of the strangest serials to feature a robot. And the robot is really S**t.
