Watching Robocop with Kit Power - Ep.20 w/Jack Graham

For episode 20, I am joined by the mighty Jack Graham. In an instant classic conversation, we cover such diverse subjects as:

• The liminality of the 80’s and the future
• Sadism and bullying as a mode of government
• As above, so below
• Talking in generalities
• The Alan B’stard connection to Dick Jones
• Hitchcockian framing and serious filmmaking
• Why the helmet?
• The glory of stop-frame and ED209
• Weller’s brilliance

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