110. THX-1138

Fifty Years of Shit Robots

Between Metropolis and Star Wars lies a 50 year wasteland of terrible movie robots. Every week we rate the robot from a movie, if it gets a score of 7 out of 10 then we say that it is not a shit robot. Today, we welcome a certain George Lucas to the podcast as we deep-dive his first feature film, THX1138. There are robots in it but are they shit?

WARNING! The S**t-bomb and the F-bomb get an airing in this episode
