mean most all the bug kills thus far like an hour if we haven’t even got into them yeah they’re all in either like laboratory settings or propaganda videos yeah cheese man still looks great drop is 35 complete man wow oh someone made a mistake oh no get out of there oh yeah that’s chaos whoa a lot of dead humans look at all these extras my God they’re they’re just running right into battle oh is this the beginning of the movie was I mean it looks kind of like it although it’s much darker than that was

up holy God that is terrifying wowie because you ain’t got to worry about radiation in this future fire oh wow looks really hard to kill them got an aim at the nerve cortex that is so many bugs what are we doing I don’t know oh yeah sure why not do that that’s a strategy more than just yourself killed oh my God thank you God I would just rely on grenades oh oh no she was so nice Glenda this is flat this is worth a so fast play it get out of here let’s keep filming just

keep filming whatever the people the world needs to know that’s clever to get it on the other side I’ll buy that for a dollar I love that the camera man I think it’s great to get that perspective of the cameraman yeah just like get that shot get out of here now that was Casper Van Dean at the beginning oh man yikes oh foreign bugs frankly I find the idea of a bug that thinks offensive is small-minded man what’s going on with that whole psychic thing that’s got to come in especially with the hive mind idea

it’s all your fault why they declare Rico deceased he’s right here Star Wars that’s cool see you later bye oh oh that was a nice three days in there sounds relaxing hopefully the bugs don’t come in and destroy it all you want the job huh I wouldn’t mind that guy’s a walking dead so I hear you lieutenants are real nut Buster oh that would be you no one talks about the lieutenant that way saved my life mine too oh he’s the priest yeah yeah who’s that iron inside yeah everyone fights no one quits you don’t

we had to get the voter to go to combat that’s that’s that’s kind of neat Federal scientists are working around the clock to probe its secrets we will defeat it this is the captain speaking soldiers like private Ace Levy and lieutenant John Rico dope Paul verhoven wow that was fun that was a delight that was a movie that was cool what’d you think John I I was uh a roller coaster ride that was quite enthralling is yeah like you said I I guess I it it out at the outset I expected something more along the

lines of like you know the third act but for the whole movie so I I appreciated how much they let you live in this world and how it sort of just presents everything to you and sort of leaves it up to you to kind of interpret how it’s you know coming at the material because I think this is based on a book and I think the book is said to be a lot more unironically what this movie is doing um but yeah uh I had a blast this was fun from from start to finish and

I appreciate the sly way in which Paul verhoven Works in his commentary to these different movies and I thought the cast was great too the cast was great Casp Casper Van Deen man where’s Casper Van Deen why is where where’s the Casper science gonna gonna happen um well the recommendations on Amazon are Starship Troopers 3 which seems like Casper Van Deen returns yes that’s the one older yeah Starship Troopers invasion Starship Troopers traitor of Mars that’s like an animated movie where he looks like snake pliskin I I feel like maybe they lost sight of the

commentary I haven’t just became about I have an absolute feeling that this franchise became what the first movie was trying to comment yeah yeah yeah totally is I I don’t know I have I have no idea but it’s just impression that I’m sort of because yeah it’s one of those things where if it feels satirical um but also in the in the kind of like kind of like RoboCop um there’s a lot of Robocop in here yeah but kind of like how RoboCop has a commentary but it doesn’t treat it with a wink at the

audience in a way it’s almost like he made a propaganda film yeah you know yeah and I think that’s kind of the the cool approach to it because it’s also like an entertaining cheesy campy movie like there’s a lot of ways you can look at it as like just a fun sci-fi movie that is as much as it’s like a propaganda it’s like it deals with all kinds of things of like fascism there are certain words I have the hardest time pronouncing authoritanianism authoritarianism yeah yeah and military conquest uh yeah though those words militarism militarism

yeah militarism and and the way we like recruit uh people so young I mean I guess it helps that all these high school seniors look like their college seniors but uh but yeah well they had a good gloss to it with everyone it was like the perfect world of what you know uh and if if I wasn’t aware I don’t think it would have any I don’t it’s only more obvious to me because I’m aware Paul verhoven made it yeah yeah versus you’re like I didn’t know it I’d be like what is this like yes

this saying this is cool or I might have just picked up on the Sci-Fi stuff um whereas like the propaganda stuff I’m like like really is the commercials that that make it that really shine a light that this is a a satire commentary on it yeah they bring the irony front and center especially by the end when you have like even bigger bigger shinier titles and bigger shinier ships and guns and then they’re like torturing this creature you know with all this triumphant music playing like I think that that kind of highlights what’s happening under

the surface well also the the other than Neil Patrick Harris the characters are likable and they don’t seem that bad they don’t seem like bad people you know what I mean so as much as there’s the commentary on it which is something I might just go into the form the societal conditioning and the influencing of the mindset you know uh sure it can whereas like freaking Neil Patrick Harris is like straight up turning into like experimental Nazis you know uh but look Casper Van Dean and um I don’t know that actress’s name I swear I’ve

seen her a thousand times though yeah I mean I’ve been trying to place it this whole time at a role in friends of Rick she was in a play with Joey Tribbiani oh snap she’s great yeah um yeah I I thought she was awesome and I like I like the tone of it a lot it’s really funny and self-aware and and I even enjoyed Denise Richards Dina Meyer Dina Meyer oh yeah yeah Denise Richard is good too in this that’s right she’s in birds and she’s she’s jigsaw’s wife that’s or no no not jigsaw’s wife

she’s she’s the she’s uh massage she’s like the one of the investors oh yeah she gets killed she gets that horrible uh yeah three uh spoilers if you were planning on binging it dies in three they’re going I swear you’re inside but I can’t I can’t quite I don’t yeah yeah yeah yeah um and a bunch of other faces you’ve seen a thousand times I like the relationship between the the core three it’s like a fourth guy there but I don’t really remember much better like Jake Bucy Dita Meyer Dina Meyer and uh I like

the chemistry between them I like the 90s High School romance love triangle situation going on I thought that was fun and yeah the effects still hold up really well like it’s gonna this looks incredible killer production design this looks amazing for when it was made like this this is It’s a testament to real movie Magic to me because this was like watching Jurassic Park again or something where you’re sitting there going like man the budget must have been insane but you also know exactly where to put Miniatures you knew where to put your physical effects

you knew how to reuse all those corpse bodies really cleverly without calling too much attention to it and then when the CG needs to be there for the most part it looks pretty great like the only real CG effects where I was like this could be a little bit better is when you know like the brain alien at the end is so like Smooth I feel like those textures maybe don’t read as well but for the most part like it’s it’s really well assembled but it doesn’t pull me out of the movie It’s I’m aware

because because the movie’s so cheesy too that it so I mean it’s a real movie still it’s still a real film it’s not I I thought I was just walking into pure cam Fest sure you know not that I’m like oh this is a real serious thing uh yeah I just thought I was gonna walk into it because when I heard it was two hours in like two hours that’s a long time and I feel like it’s a little I still feel like it’s a little too long a little light look it’s like it could

have been like 20 minutes or later yeah yeah um but I I still think that they they made an actual film where I was invested in the story and I I did kind of care about the characters for the most part like I was really bummed when Dina died when you got killed I was like what that sucks that really bumped me out yeah no absolutely like like they’re good at making you root for them and I think they they did wisely to pull in a a classic story uh because you know it’s like you’re

I think it’s part of the greater soup of what’s happening in a movie like this where like yeah especially it doesn’t betray its perspective we are humans watching this so we’re watching it from the human perspective so they’re going to have endearing relationships and they’re going to be in different qualities to them and I think making it that you’re spending most of your time with these private characters and you’re watching as um as Rico gets promoted through the ranks but you know you’re on the ground level and I think that bolsters it like you said

is feeling like an actual movie like it’s treated like an actual war movie but yeah you have like the just the right amount of Camp to sell the heightened sci-finess of it all without it being silly and I think too they use like the fact that uh the the Denise Richards character uh Carmen is you know becoming a pilot on this ship that looks exactly like an imperial ship from Star Wars like is uh I feel like those little things help to kind of again betray what’s really going on but I think it’s a good

choice that they don’t betray the characters too much by overriding them with the author real you know perspective of you know the the themes and stuff like that not to say it’s like I feel like this is a movie that has a lot of those themes on hand but it’s not like a hundred percent committed to being like no this is an allegory that’s going to teach you something about fascism and how the mechanics of the military-industrial complex work like it’s commenting on that stuff but it’s also yeah like you said having fun it’s also

really imaginative it’s also really well constructed like it’s a little bit of everything and that’s I think what makes it so satisfying is because then on top of all that you can go oh wait this actually does have something of a brain underneath all the machismo and all the goo oh I think I think the the insightfulness of what they’re commenting on is is kind of resonant throughout the whole movie right down to Casper Van Dean’s Rico character just the evolution that he has of someone wanting to like spoiled rich kid who wants to join

the military to make something of himself and then the way his the way he morphs over time into the cold-blooded perfect Soldier by the end of the weird side yeah it’s cool like it’s not cool it’s it’s sad it’s fleshed out and how they did it but what I like about the approach is if it’s made in a way that’s not demonstrating that it’s it’s a clever film because it’s not it doesn’t feel like it’s pro-war and pro-violence no and because if in fact in a lot of ways it’s it kind of feels like it’s

the opposite of that yeah yet they make it in the way they execute it was to make it like it’s a pro war movie well so that’s what’s smart about it yeah like there’s so much that is really cool and and you have all these great little uh interstitial propaganda pieces and news items to bolster the that attitude but when you’re really in the midst of the fighting it it’s pretty hellish like you know for as height as it is like more to them coming out yeah it sucks like those battle scenes and and the

gore gags and the way people are getting mangled and mutilated and disintegrated and melted and like it’s it’s it’s pretty nasty and then when you get to the end you have the brain sucker alien like it’s really gross and icky you know so I feel like they they knew where to put the real fun stuff and it’s still fun as a viewer to watch you know the military action when it really takes hold but I feel like those scenes especially aren’t played for fun and that’s part of why it it works it’s like it’s one

of those I feel like movies before a certain point with messaging and I guess you know ham-fisted movies have always existed but I feel like this is one that kind of allows you the viewer to pick that up or not you know in the way it portrays things so you could probably watch this and be laggy yeah let me go enlist right now you know but you could also watch this and be like what did the bugs do though you know I mean I was watching it the whole time going what did that what did

the bugs do I don’t know what the bugs did that were so bad to it’s so bad that we have to go across space to go and wipe them out and I understand that yeah it’s like they’ve got these little meteorites hurling our way but I’m like look at all this technology we could easily deflect one of those you know we could deal with that you know yeah it seems like it’s like we we want the violence and that’s kind of what they’re learning in the school yeah yeah it’s like we want it we want

the violence I think there is an interesting commentary to be had here but it’s also if you want to just watch it as like a fun like exploited flick I think you can do that too because it is a fun movie that’s the magic of verhovah yeah I know RoboCop has that for sure and show girls and Showgirls especially he knocked it out of the park there that’s why I made a bunch of films following Showgirls uh yeah no I I think did he do Basic Instinct too is that him maybe he’s please come back

I want to say I forget which ones he’s done because I don’t know if it was imitative phase against it because he’s like I’m like watching this made me miss okay so he’s he’s done some some stuff recently but like this made me miss maybe change their around how’s this working yeah it doesn’t separate things quite as intuitively he did do basic NC yeah okay yeah yeah yeah like Total Recall yeah if I wasn’t so sure he was liberal well yeah he’s great at taking the end RoboCop for the first time I saw that I

had a similar experience where I was expecting like oh this is just gonna be cool you know this is just gonna be some cool schlocky hyper violent police Thriller but you know like the police are also a problematic organization and that movie doesn’t shy away from that or the interplay between you know uh uh the worst parts of capitalism and you know force and Order and all those things and and this also does that like I loved the distinction between uh what is it Citizen and uh civilian civilian yeah and the way that they’re using

that in school almost as a sociological sort of thing uh but using that as the seed to you know indoctrinate these kids you know that whole thing about it actually discouraged me you know like really kind of uh uh creating this enticement of these kids through that and then you hear the I think that Motif has echoed again when they say like you know Consignment guarantees citizenship and your conscription you know like joining up guaranteeing citizenship and I feel like immediately I thought like oh okay you join our military we will make you a citizen

but no no no it’s actually legitimizing you as an already canonized citizen you know like this is the way to be a true citizen is to be a patriot is to go out and fight you know yeah and it’s clever now the movie’s very I thought the movie was really clever and I thought it had uh some cool action in it infinite amount of bullets that you just spray relentlessly it’s like non-stop never reload I thought the costumes were really cool too oh dude those helmets and yeah the the especially the battle gear sick yeah

it was really it was it was cool it was it was not exactly uh what I was expecting no not at all actually yeah like the last half it was um and I was more I was more into it the first half and I was the last half at least because it’s a really well realized world and yeah I enjoyed going through all the different you know you’d go through all the different uh institutions and ranks and places in your your seeing so many pockets of how Society exists now and two like they’re from you

got all these people with these like Hispanic names who are all these like white kids and stuff so like it had an interesting I I almost wanted to know more about how the world works now because you know it seemed like the country boundaries weren’t the same as they are in our version of the world so it seems just like an it’s one of those movies too where the world build uh without having to do all of it in a very in your face way like there are just details about the world that are interesting

that again are yours to catch or not catch and uh and yeah it’s like part of me was like I want to spend time just sort of knowing what Earth is like in this day and age because yeah their designs were really interesting what was the the so the book itself is supposed to what were you saying earlier that stood out to me that the book itself is supposed to be more um like it’s sincere in it and this is making the movie took the approach of of mocking it in a way or making fun

of it in a way yeah kind of warping it inside out and making it a commentary on the kind of fascism the book was essentially demonstrating you know a more straightforward sort of way is how it’s always been been broke down to me now that I’ve seen the movie you know I’m sure there’s a very in-depth you know video essay about that but that’s always what I’ve been sort of eluded by other people so here’s a fun fact for you from imdb oh let’s do this um that uh uh ver Hoven and cinematographer josta vacano

shot the co-ed shower scene in the nude themselves on a dare from Dina Meyer what uh on the day of the shoot for Hoven I have asked to cast to a little fashion show without fashion so that can get comfortable being naked when the cast is reluctant to disrover Hoven asked them what the big deal was to which my responded Paul if it’s no big deal why don’t you do it quite unexpectedly verhoven got undressed as well as vicano who had been raised in a nudity Camp after an initial shocked then van Dean reporter yelled

oh God Dino why and a good laugh from the cast The Scene was sold without problems that seemed so distracting because I feel like half of you guys have to be like super horny right now we are not your young blood or showering a bunch of attractive woman right like you created somehow the most mature shooting environment because none of us watching this either able to be like nope this is normal which good for them in the future I guess uh uh you know uh sexual sociology and politics are much more calm in this future

because yeah they got co-ed everything oh here we go there’s an interesting quote um why are you doing a right-wing fascist movie verhoven was asked he replied if I tell the world that a right-wing fascist way of doing things doesn’t work then no one will listen to me so I’m going to make a perfect fascist World everyone is beautiful everyone is shiny everyone has big guns and fancy ships but it’s only good for killing bugs yeah it is yeah that is the world that he created yeah yeah he’s succeeded I mean that’s the way we

treat him when we were going to War 2 just crush them like they’re bugs crushed them like they’re bugs and we are you know the elite we’re beautiful and we are Mighty and yeah we’re shiny we will come and bring the lights to whatever we touch our boots down on uh wow this was crazy yeah man so many trivias well guys I thought this was a really fun movie with a much more interesting take with a production design it still helds up really well but some fun performances to be had and I wonder what the

sequels ultimately pan out to be better than some schlockfest so we’ll watch them all are they good are they highly revered uh you know maybe part three is okay the guy if they got van Deen back I doubt it which I’ve seen him in person okay so they have made a direct Starship Troopers too okay yeah these must be straight to part three straight to DVDs right God 1997. damn 12 12 audience audience score that’s a bummer how is it so bad that is so bad the the critics score is higher that’s 33 Starship Troopers

three 50 critic score but but 19 audience score but the caveat is only six critics reviewed each of these movies oh yes so so you have a way larger pool of uh viewer reviews okay Starship Troopers one not as as fresh on both accounts Starship Troopers invasion the animated one is better liked by audiences for sure oh traders of Mars sound is it cost effective these days to do these CG movies for stuff like this I have no idea oh but Casper Van Dean and Dina Meyer came back to do voices that’s cool so maybe

her character lives I guess maybe yeah maybe they’ll do some retcon oh he’s got the eye patch yeah damn Rico I’m not sure we should watch them all we should report back Troopers binge guys that’s right we will rank them all and let you know which one’s the best God Denise Richards yeah man back in the Heyday it was like I did not know I did not realize you you were the queen that’s right man just before Undercover Brother she is before still pretty hot yeah no she’s she’s a little little plastic surgery it happens

it happens it happens it’s now more than ever it happens when you’re in this world when you’re on planet Earth and you’re a woman in Hollywood a little over Botox you know you know what are you gonna do what are you gonna do what’s the one I’m saying do you know do you know what Dina my I don’t think you’re right about that you are hey hey hey hey she’s aged gracefully she looks good still but she looks natural yeah gray gray it’s got some Grays going on it’s all good rock that silver rock that

silver oh Denise Richards are still friends dude all right let’s get them all back together difficult to choose reunion I know and especially back then they’re both so electric they’re both they both had it it’s real you know that is the perfect like they live in he goes like you go to Harvard the Ulta he’s got all the money yeah I know it was in the best part of the capitalist Society Embraces at all go to war fight for your country doesn’t it that’s a wild movie it’s kind of uh yeah yeah it’s like the

whole time I was like I don’t know what these bugs did just because it’s out here being it doesn’t sound like being bugs don’t go bother them that’s it and if they come your way deal with that but it just felt like doesn’t need to be anymore like why they don’t even fight I don’t I don’t care why they’re fighting there’s no need for them to fight that’s seen one of their I wonder I truly wonder if those were real roaches where the kids that one shower the kids are stomping on the roaches and it

may reminded me of Men In Black that whole like you don’t start nothing it ain’t gonna be nothing you know well then when they’re um like when the cameraman too is also like zooming in like when the person’s being killed and they’re just like recording up close just reminded me a nope like just yeah that uh more cells what can you do yeah whatever you do don’t stop filming I wonder if they had the I I really wonder if those roaches were real they’re they’re rules about that probably There are rules about bug actors on

screen you can’t kill bugs on screen alrighty guys well what do you think of Starship Troopers leave your thoughts down below subscribe leave a like Hey listen to the patron of the day shout out Andrew Hayes we said who the hell are we shouting out for Starship Troopers and uh we ain’t have to look at the list we said who will we want on our team to go out there and kill some bugs I’m gonna kill some big bucks Starship Troopers Andrew Hayes over here you just if you know this guy short stocky fella he
