This week on The Lunch, regular host James Rocchi is joined by both Alonso Duralde — Film Critic for The Wrap — and Dave White — of Movies.com — to talk about the new-school Robocop remake and the singular strangeness of the original after Canter’s deli sandwiches. Diverse topics discussed also include growing up in the Reagan years, Paul Verhoeven’s Catholicism, Phillip K. Dick-ish behavior, global capitalism, which of West Hollywood’s delis has the best sandwiches, why the global marketplace for blockbusters may not be the best thing for the people who make them, subversion in slaughter and much much more. You can find Mr. Duralde on Twitter @aduralde; Mr. White can be found @dlelandwhite — and their superb podcast on film and more, Linoleum Knife, can be found at www.linoleum-knife.com. Remember, The Lunch Podcast is available on iTunes.
