Between Metropolis and Star Wars lies a 50 year wasteland of terrible movie robots. Every week we rate the robot from a movie, if it gets a score of 7 out of 10 then we say that it is not a shit robot. Today, we take a look back at six of the robots between 1927 and 1977 that we deemed "not shit". Let's try and do some proper ranking and come up our Top of the Bots.

Happy Christmas from Fifty Years of Shit Robots. This year, we're joining film-maker and friend of the show, Lesley-Ann Rose, on her traditional festive Alien franchise rewatch. We're going to watch them all in chronological order because what could be more Christmassy? Today we've reached the Christmassy finale as we watch ALIEN: RESURRECTION. Ripley is a clone who befriends a robot in a very festive movie.

Happy Christmas from Fifty Years of Shit Robots. This year, we're joining film-maker and friend of the show, Lesley-Ann Rose, on her traditional festive Alien franchise rewatch. We're going to watch them all in chronological order because what could be more Christmassy? Today we've watched David Fincher's Alien 3. The robot is BISHOP, well his head and arm, and he wants to be turned off forever. I know how he feels.
