TV & Film
In 1997, Paul Verhoeven gave the world the gift of Starship Troopers, a sci-fi action flick that shows us what happens when man meets bug. The result is a bloody satire that may be more relevant now than it was when it was released 20 years ago. Critics and moviegoers were left with polarizing opinions, with some praising the movie’s unflinching take on what a futuristic fascist society could look like, and others damning Verhoeven’s vision as pro-war, pro-fascism, and ultimately a dangerous movie. But does it hold up? Listen as Jon, Colin and our guest Brent revisit this often-overlooked flick and see if they eagerly sign up for the mobilize infantry, looking for their chance to scrape bug guts off their boots, or if the film crash lands on Klendathu, stranding our heroes on the ugly bug planet while they are impaled and await having their brains sucked out.
