Happy Christmas from Fifty Years of Shit Robots. This year, we're looking at THE WIZARD OF OZ with our special guest brain-box, Darren Chetty. You might not think it's a Christmas movie but you'd be very, very wrong.

Between Metropolis and Star Wars lies a 50 year wasteland of terrible movie robots. Today, we continue our examination of the BLADE RUNNER universe. In this episode, we put the 1998 movie SOLDIER under the microscope. Why? Because it is supposedly in the Blade Runner universe. Yes, it's tenuous but is it Tannhauser Gate-uous?
