Summary

“Bruce Greenwood, who’s surprisingly not crooked in this movie? That blew my hair back!” - Steve

On this week’s episode, the Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza rolls into Will Smith City with a conversation all about the absolutely dreadful I, Robot! And to help dive into this dull-ass flick, the gang welcomes back to the show, friend and film critic, Angelica Jade Bastién! Why did they want to make this movie so damn serious and not let any comedy on the screen? Is Will Smith’s character listening to “Superstition” on loop every morning? Why couldn’t they pump a few more bucks into these digital effects? Was Bridget Moynihan’s direction just to play the character as if she was a secret robot? And why in the world weren’t Shia LaBeouf’s scenes cut for time? PLUS: Was the most expensive visual effect in this movie really digitally removing Will’s johnson from the shower scene?

I, Robot stars Will Smith, Bridget Moynihan, Bruce Greenwood, James Cromwell, Chi McBride, Adrian Ricard, Fiona Hogan, and Alan Tudyk as Sonny; directed by Alex Proyas.
