Knight Rider vs Max Headroom

In this second episode of The Mitchell Brothers Revisit podcast, Luke and Oliver look back at AI in the 1980s and discuss two groundbreaking shows. First it's Knight Rider, and the Season 1 episode 'Trust Doesn't Rust' (aired 1982), where two petty crooks named Tony and The Rev break into a warehouse at the Knight Museum of Technology and accidentally reactivate K.A.R.R. (Knight Automated Roving Robot), the sociopathic prototype predecessor to K.I.T.T. Then comes the first series finale of Max Headroom, aired 1985, when Max talks with musician Sting. True to Max's eccentric style, the conversation wanders through unusual subjects including Sting's aversion to golf ("an old man's game"), his preference for brown shoes over black-and-white footwear, and his role as Dr Frankenstein in the film The Bride. Which one is most worthy of a modern-day reboot? Tune in for nostalgic TV memories and insightful new readings of the TV shows that shaped childhood.
