RoboCop 3 marked the temporary end of the franchise. We attempt to find some interesting things to say about this critically panned film… First, comedian Bixby Id buy that for a dollar! Hes now Vice President, and spends much of the film standing around and not blinking. Whats even more distracting is that, for some reason, he over-enunciates every line hes given. Or maybe like watching a horse chewing a polo mint....

A friend of mine was quite into them, and thats how I tuned in, as it were. Did you actively push for it? I was interested, but I certainly approached it with a degree of trepidation.

Most pertinently, how would you top the unsettling opening shark attack in Steven Spielbergs original? The opening scene, weird though it is, tells us this: Ellen Brody eats fish for breakfast.

Youre potentially opening up the opportunity for a whole bunch of new people to hear your music. But how often does this actually happen? Their song played while most of the audience were beating a hasty path to the loo. It must be better to be seen and heard, right?
