Watching Robocop Episode 18 /w Amber Fallon

 This time out we're joined by horror author, editor and podcaster (and, it turns out, fellow Robocop superfan) Amber Fallon! Amber knows storytelling, and brings brilliant insight, as well as some laughs. In a jam packed episode, listen out for:

  • Amber’s horror movie roots
  • Worldbuilding through advertising
  • The only movie to shock and disgust Amber
  • Ray Wise and The Devil
  • The many genres of Robocop
  • Why Arnie would have made for a bad Robocop
  • I don’t kick cats
  • McDonalds and the Great Filter
  • The eternal mystery of bad, yet well sculpted facial hair
  • Does Robocop even breathe? And could he get a contact high from cocaine?
  • Dinosaur attack cards
  • Chekhov's middle finger
  • “When all else fails - hostages!”

 

And much, much more. Enjoy, and thanks as ever for listening.
