This time, on the Discerning Geex Portal, we review the 1990 sci-fi flick about giant fighting robots and the people that pilot them into battle..."Robot Jox."

- What classic tabletop strategy game about robot combat did Dave, Dave, and Todd, play in high school, sometimes all night? The game gets several mentions in this episode.

- Which of the Geex can pretty much sum up his opinion of this movie with one word, and what is that word?

- Which of the Geex had issues with the acting, dialogue, sets, costumes, and/or special effects?

- Which of the Geex was surprised & impressed by how serious the story was?

- Which parts of the story & production still come off as cheesy? Was the movie too cheesy, not cheesy enough, or just right?

- What were the co-hosts' opinions of the spy subplot?

- Was Andruw, being the youngest, critical of the late '80s special effects, or would he have accepted even more primitive effects if it meant much more robot screen time?

- Were any of the Geex able to extract any deeper meanings from the story or setting?

- What did the Geex think about the robot designs?

- Groin saw? Yay or nay?

- Which of the Geex was bothered that the female character wasn't given the full chance to pilot the robot?

- What rating did the Geex think Dave Teague would have given the movie?

Listen now for the answers to these and other robotic questions as we run diagnostics on..."Robot Jox."
