Death Don't Do Fiction episode 88: Mechtember: 'Robot Jox' * AIPT

The AIPT Movies podcast has been renamed: Death Don't Do Fiction is here to stay!

New name, same podcast! Welcome to the "first" episode of Death Don't Do Fiction, the AIPT Movies podcast! The podcast about the enduring legacy of our favorite movies! It's September, so that means it's time for our "Mechtember" series, where we cover movies involving all things robotic! In this week's episode, Alex, Tim, and Matt discuss Stuart Gordon's surprisingly ambitious tale of giant robot-fighting, Robot Jox!

Thumbs up, fist bumps! Little Padawan braids! Geopolitical conflict resolution via mech-fighting! Flying futuristic referees! An overwhelming jumpsuit/onesie budget! Futuristic bars! The potential dangers of mech-fighting as a spectator sport! Subtle hints about the poor state of education in a post-apocalyptic future! Rocket hands! Shockingly disturbing PG violence! A chef who specializes in robot recipes! Special effects that were almost *too* ambitious for their own good! It is a movie that not only seemingly influenced Pacific Rim and Edge of Tomorrow but is also a kinda of Rocky IV with giant robots! Crash and burn!

You can find Death Don't Do Fiction on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. As always, if you enjoy the podcast, be sure to leave us a positive rating, subscribe to the show, and tell your friends!

The Death Don't Do Fiction podcast brings you the latest in movie news, reviews, and more! Hosted by supposed "industry vets," Alex Harris, Tim Gardiner, and Matt Paul, the show gives you a peek behind the scenes from three filmmakers with oddly nonexistent filmographies. You can find Alex on Instagram and Twitter @ActionHarris. Matt is a terrific artist that you can find on Instagram @no_wheres_ville. Tim can't be found on social media because he doesn't exist. If you have any questions or suggestions for the Death Don't Do Fiction crew, they can be reached at [email protected], or you can find them on Twitter @AIPTmoviesPod.
