# Episode #448 – Heartbeeps

We tie a bow around [Max Fun Drive 2025](http://maximumfun.org/join) and our “Movies Without Spider-Man” series with (?) Paul Schrader’s (?) magnum opus, [Heartbeeps](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082507/). It’s the classic tale of a guy robot and a girl robot in love and also there’s a bad stand-up comic robot and a mean cop robot and a baby robot and Andy Kaufman does one of the world’s most irritating voices and what the fuck is this thing?
