Short Circuit
In 1986, a lightning strike turned a military robot into one of the most lovable characters of the entire decade. In this Backtrack, we’re plugging into Short Circuit — a movie packed with Cold War anxiety, mall-era futurism, and a robot who just wanted more input. From Johnny 5 to laser cannons and synth-heavy charm, we’re revisiting why this weird little sci-fi comedy still has a pulse forty years later.
