Between Metropolis and Star Wars lies a 50 year wasteland of terrible movie robots. Today, we are joined by screenwriter, podcaster, and robot overlord, Mark Stay, to discuss the 1979 Disney movie The Black Hole. It's a film chock-full of robots, including one of the most terrifying of all time, Maximilian.
WARNING! The S**t-bomb is sometimes uttered but nothing more.
