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.
