Welcome to "Robocop vs. Robo-Reboot", the podcast where we pit the original 1987 cyberpunk classic against the 2014 CGI-infused remake in a battle for sci-fi supremacy—and yes, we’ll be judging these films based on everything from their robotic crime-fighting abilities to how ridiculous they both are.

One movie features a murderous Detroit, a robot cop with a conscience, and the kind of violence that makes you question your life choices. The other? Well, it’s the 2014 remake, which somehow made Robocop look more like an iPhone with a moustache and a sombrero than a human-turned-cyborg.

Get ready for a metallic clash of 80s nostalgia and hyper-modern reboots—and a lot of awkward commentary about how we still want our cyborg cops to have more humanity and fewer Bluetooth connections.

Grab your Auto-9s and your lawsuit forms (because Robocop definitely didn’t read the fine print), we’re diving in!

Two long time friends, one podcast.

This is The Deja Review.

Enjoy the episode and remember to like, follow and tell your friends.
