S16 Ep860: RoboCop (2014)

“Alex Murphy is made for her pleasure!” - Steve on the new suit design On this week’s show, we bring Remake-ril to a close with a chat about one of the worst Hollywood remakes of all time, RoboCop (2014)! Why did we need the “slick” new suit design? Why didn’t they bother with any of the TV sitcom stuff like in the ’87? Why did we need to have the wife and son be such larger characters? Was Joel Kinnaman right for Murphy? And speaking of Murphy, why are so many people calling him by his first name in this movie? Did any other film waste Michael Kenneth Williams’ talent as much as this one did? And what in WORLD were they thinking going for the PG-13 rating? PLUS: “Dr. Norton? Commissioner Gordon. Commissioner Gordon? Dr. Norton…” RoboCop (2014) stars Joel Kinnaman, Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton, Abbie Cornish, Jackie Earle Haley, Michael Kenneth Williams, Jennifer Ehle, Jay Baruchel, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, and Samuel L. Jackson as Pat Novak; directed by José Padilha.
