Fifty Years of Shit Robots – Details, episodes & analysis

Between Metropolis and Star Wars lies a 50 year wasteland of terrible movie robots. Before Season 9 starts we thought we'd have a look at the new Alien movie. And to help us is indie film-maker and Alien nerd, Lesley Anne Rose.

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. It's a Cocks and Bots special. Cocktails and bot-tales. Today we drink cocktails while we chat about the bots in season 8.

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 don our robot-examining equipment and take a look at the 1971 made-for-TV movie, PAPER MAN. It has an amazing cast but will we like the cut of the robot's jib?

Between Metropolis and Star Wars lies a 50 year wasteland of terrible movie robots. Today, we deep-dive into the 1953 movie, Robot Monster. It's has been called the second worst film ever made but is the robot any good? (SPOILER - No, it's not)

Between Metropolis and Star Wars lies a 50 year wasteland of terrible movie robots. Today, we deep-dive into the 1952 movie, Old Mother Riley Meets the Vampire. It's campy and vampy and probably not Bela Lugosi's finest hour (and thirteen minutes).
