Between Metropolis and Star Wars lies a 50 year wasteland of terrible movie robots. Today, we reach our quarter-century of shows with a deep-dive into the 1954 movie TOBOR THE GREAT. The robot's annoying but not as much as the stupid kid.

WARNING! The S**t-bomb is sometimes uttered but nothing more.
