• 138. ALIEN CHRISTMAS CRACKER 7: ALIEN RESURRECTION
    Dec 25 2024

    Happy Christmas from Fifty Years of Shit Robots. This year, we're joining film-maker and friend of the show, Lesley-Ann Rose, on her traditional festive Alien franchise rewatch. We're going to watch them all in chronological order because what could be more Christmassy? Today we've reached the Christmassy finale as we watch ALIEN: RESURRECTION. Ripley is a clone who befriends a robot in a very festive movie.


    WARNING! The S**t-bomb is used but nothing more.

    Nov 18 2024

    WARNING 1! This episode does contain discussion of rape.


    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 look at DEMON SEED from 1977. A movie with a horrible robot.
