## Resource

This week, we're discussing MURDERBOT, a 2023 Jim Wynorski film about a killer robot gone awry. But since MURDERBOT is only 46 minutes long, we decided to also talk about another Jim Wynorski film about killer robots gone awry, the 1986 cult classic CHOPPING MALL! Hosted by Jarrod Hornbeck and Steve Guntli Theme song by Kyle Hornbeck Logo by Doug McCambridge Email: puppetmasterscastlefreaks@gmail.com Instagram/Threads: @puppetmasters_castlefreaks YouTube: @PuppetMastersCastleFreaks Next week's episode: Scared
