The Regular Guy Movie Show
In this podcast, three longtime friends revisit the movies they grew up with to determine whether they’re still classics or just relics of their time. With a mix of humor, deep dives, and pop culture insights, Seth, Justin, and Brian break down what still works, what doesn’t, and whether nostalgia is clouding our judgment.

Episode 3: RoboCop
In this episode of The Regular Guy Movie Show, we take on Paul Verhoeven’s RoboCop (1987)—a film loaded with ultraviolence, corporate satire, and surprisingly heartfelt moments.
We dig into:
- Whether the over-the-top violence helps or hurts the film’s impact
- The satirical edge that makes RoboCop smarter than your average action flick
- What still holds up in terms of effects, performances, and storytelling
- And which characters (spoiler: Clarence Boddicker) steal the show
From the opening media break to that final line, we talk about what makes RoboCop such a unique ’80s film—and why it still packs a punch today.
Plus, Seth nerds out on sound design, Brian shares some surprising trivia, and Justin ponders the social dynamics of the club scene in Old Detroit.
So… does RoboCop hold up? Listen now and decide for yourself.
