EP25. Revisiting '90s Cult Sci-fi Classic, Paul Verhoeven's "Starship Troopers"
5/13/2024
"Come on, you apes! You wanna live forever?" Hang out with movie buffs Mike and Angel as they dive back into one of the coolest sci-fi flicks of the 1990s, Paul Verhoeven's cult classic "Starship Troopers" (1997).
Is it a sci-fi bonanza? Or a sweeping love triangle epic? Or perhaps a big, dramatic saga, with humans duking it out with giant insect enemies? Well, it's all of the above.
Even though it didn't rake in the cash at first, "Starship Troopers" found its footing and became a fan favorite over time. Now it's hailed as a highly influential sci-fi war film, boasting groundbreaking CGI effects from VFX legend Phil Tippett. But what really sets it apart is its sharp satire. It's like a futuristic spin on those old-school wartime propaganda films, adding a slick sci-fi twist to the pro-war films of 1940s.
Mike and Angel rewind the clock to '97 and reminisce about catching "Starship Troopers" on the big screen for the first time. Plus, they dig into how their movie tastes have evolved over nearly three decades, picking up on the film's messages about the dangers of warmongering.
