Episode description
Why was Houston picked to play a dystopian, crime-ridden Detroit in “RoboCop 2”? What did that wretched movie have to say about us in 1990, the year it came out? And why, for Houstonians, is it still worth watching? Host Lisa Gray is joined by graphic artist and RoboCop fan Evan O’Neil; and by City Cast culture contributor Allyn West to explain.
