A-Z is back. Due to recording time oversight I did not schedule my episodes accordingly, causing delays. Luckily I had two Riget episodes to release! So, we're back on schedule-ish (a couple bonus episodes should fix this). 

We keep it short this time around, but Dial F for Film mainstay Johnny Duarte and I have a lot to say in this episode.  Of course, we get into the absurd violence and great character actors, but we also talk about TV edits. Yes, TV edits, Johnny starts talking about different network edits of Robocop which leads to a trip down memory lane and the notorious VH1 edit of Showgirls. If you haven't seen it... It's great. Johnny found a link for that cut, here. It's only 84 minutes. The theatrical cut is 128 minutes. The theatrical cut was rated NC-17 and the TV edit is rated TV-14; think about it. It's an entirely different film and experience and at Dial F for Film, we stan the VH1 edit of Showgirls. 

Johnny shares his experience with the newest version of Robocop (2014). We also, oddly enough, end up talking Darren Aranofsky, and his once rumored Robocop.  Anyway, this is a fun and short listen, enjoy, and while you're listening give us a follow on Instagram: @dialfpodcast. 

Dial F for Film is a podcast about the love of movies and host's -- J. Carlos Menjivar -- attempt to watch 1001 movies before he dies. A lover of lists and film, Carlos is a firm believer that all film lists should be tackled with one goal in mind: completion. Steven Jay Schneider's "1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die" is the subject of this podcast. Each episode features one guest and five movies from the massive list, compiled into themed lists by the host. Guests each week will select one category without any prior knowledge as to what films are included. Once a category is chosen, Carlos reveals the five films and the viewing begins. The guests then come on Dial F for Film via Zoom and the discussion begins.
