Sam and Dan and RoboCop

“RoboCop: who is he? What is he? Where did he come from?” All of these questions answered (and more!) on this, the FOURTH episode of Sam and Dan and! In this 1987 sci-fi action film, Buckaroo Banzai and Red Forman face off over the future of a dystopian Detroit. Oh, and RoboCop eats baby food. That’s pretty good.
