It cost about $14 million to make, it took over $50 million at the box office and it picked up two competitive Oscar nominations and a special award for its sound. https://lithub.com/on-hilary-mantels-birthday-please-enjoy-her-1988-review-of-robocop/ Buckaroo Banzai https://youtu.be/RdanCNK4ayo Turkish Delight https://youtu.be/tK1wZt6MzI8 Robocop cartoon https://youtu.be/Yp4Sqn0eX_Q “John Murphy” https://youtu.be/lZd2YyuRaug?t=132 Smooth animation https://youtu.be/8ln11zEWW4U Militarised police https://youtu.be/WYdi1bL6s10?t=392 BEST PICK – the book is out now from all the usual places, including… From the publisher https://tinyurl.com/best-pick-book-rowman UK Amazon https://amzn.to/3zFNATI US Amazon https://www.amzn.com/1538163101 UK bookstore https://www.waterstones.com/book/9781538163108 US bookstore https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/best-pick-john-dorney/1139956434 Audio book https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/Best-Pick-Audiobook/B09SBMX1V4 To send in your questions, comments, thoughts and ideas, you can join our Facebook group, Tweet us on @bestpickpod or email us on bestpickpod@gmail.com.
