Pat Novak, dapper host of The Novak Element, is introduced to the audience first in audio, as the sound mixer combines Novak's sound feed as he performs vocal exercises before the filming of his show to the MGM lion picture as it roars in the opening. The tone it creates is reminiscent of the cowardly lion from The Wizard of Oz.The Novak Element rolls tape, and Pat Novak interviews a Pentagon official by live chat. They speak about the use of a new military product manufactured by Omnicorp. The new technology, which includes machine foot soldiers a la T2 and pocket size imperial walkers, is currently implemented (they agree) with success across the globe. It's clear that American hasn't embraced this technology on its own soil. A digital map of Tehran projected during the interview on Novak's set shows not only these technologies, but also other elements: these are Novak's correspondents. This leads to live feed of a demonstration of the Omnicorp technologies in the streets of Iran. A reporter from the Novak team (Kelly Perkins) asks questions as Omnicorp's Rick Mattox (robot soldier expert) walks among the robots, discussing how much happier the city is, but not before mentioning that the objective is to pacify the people. Safety and security are buzz words. Citizens are identified by robots as non threats. Arash and a group of men in the town carry out a suicide bombing during the demonstration, with the explicit understanding that they are not doing this to kill, but rather, to be filmed. Briefly, the interview between Perkins and Mattox is in chaos, as several explosions announce the protest of Arash and his men. Arash's son Navid runs into the scene with a kitchen knife, and is destroyed immediately by an imperial walker. For security reasons, Novak says, the show has to cut the feed. He then concludes: Now you see, and he outlines the threat of crime, and then accuses the public of being robophobic. This leads to an endorsement of Raymond Sellar, CEO of Omincorp and recent cover of Scientific American. Last, a criticism of Senator Dreyfus, a man that opposes the use of the technology manufactured by Omnicorp in America.The Novak Element cuts out to the title screen: Robocop.Pat Novak punctuates the entire film, as did the news team in the 1987 first draft of Robocop, but carries out his role as commentary, ending the film with a jab at the biased media even as his show was exactly that. His set is technologically advanced, his wardrobe health plan evidently comprehensive, and he appears to be a man of great means. Novak wears elegantly on different occasions a double-breasted navy suit with silk pocket square, a windowpane blazer in the style of a sports commentator around playoffs, and a heavy gauge chalk-stripe suit. His ties are most often tight round patterns of floral or paisley in rich, saturated colors. Most notably, Novak wears a flag pin on his lapel, much like a politician. His policies are conservative, and his hair is something blown out from the 1930's. Notably, he closes the film as well as opening it, and does so with a salute to America as the greatest country on the face of the Earth. His good night is when credits roll. Show less «
