For the 175th episode of Another Pass, we had to talk about a cult classic so cultish and such a classic that it demanded two separate panels! That's right! For a discussion on Starship Troopers, Case and Sam are joined by John Lestrange (The History Wizard), Samantha Perez, Keith Lehtinen, and Mitch Punpayuk! Would you like to know more? Music by Vin Macri and Matt Brogan Podcast Edited by Sophia Ricciardi Overview Episode 175 of 'Certain POV's Another Pass' podcast explores Starship Troopers, addressing its satirical elements and impact on audiences, featuring two distinct panels. Personal viewing experiences highlight how initial interpretations of the film changed over time, with multiple guests recognizing the underlying satire. The film's satirical intent often missed by audiences; Poe's Law indicates difficulty in distinguishing extreme satire from genuine claims without clear indicators. Elements of fascism illustrated in the United Citizen Federation's military service requirements and portrayal of authority figures with war injuries. Propaganda within the film includes false flag operations, demonstrating dehumanization of 'bugs' and justifying violent military actions. Johnny Rico's character illustrates an alt-right pipeline, showing the process of radicalization through military indoctrination and societal pressure. Significant differences between the original book and movie adaptation noted, including a shift in character motivations and depictions of technology. Production challenges included injuries during boot camp training and instances of disrupted filming, showcasing the difficulties faced by the crew. Cultural impact acknowledged, as Starship Troopers influenced franchises like Starcraft and Helldivers, with modern audiences resonating with its themes. New adaptations are in development, including a Sony project directed by Neil Blomkamp, indicating ongoing interest in the Starship Troopers franchise.   Notes ️ Episode Introduction & Format (00:01 - 02:51) Episode 175 of 'Certain POV's Another Pass' podcast discussing Starship Troopers as a movie that overcame adversity. Two-panel format with different guest combinations to cover extensive discussion topics. First panel features Case Aiken, Sam Alicea, John Lestrange, and Samantha Perez focusing on sociological themes. Second panel includes Case Aiken, Sam Alicea, Keith Lehtinen, and Mitch Punpayuk discussing filmmaking aspects. Personal Experiences with Starship Troopers (04:08 - 16:01) Case Aiken saw it at age 13 in 1997, initially missed satirical elements, took it as straightforward action film. Sam Alicea watched at 16-17, uncomfortable with bugs but recognized something 'off' about the film. John Lestrange first viewing at age 7 when released, watched for first time yesterday with Holocaust studies background. Samantha Perez saw chopped TV versions as teenager, recently rewatched with fresh perspective. Keith Lehtinen was 14 when released, became aware of actors through this film, Dina Meyer was first crush. Mitch Punpayuk saw at 15, bought DVD before owning DVD player, waited two years to watch it. Satirical Elements & Reception Analysis (20:09 - 29:48) Movie functions as fascist propaganda satire but audiences often missed the satirical intent. Poe's Law applies - satirical expressions of extremist views indistinguishable from actual extremist views without clear indicators. 1997 timing problematic for satire reception - post-Cold War, pre-9/11 context limited audience understanding. Director Paul Verhoeven grew up in Nazi-occupied Netherlands, assumed audience familiarity with fascist themes. Susan Sontag's 'Fascinating Fascisms' (1975) referenced - Nazi ideal of 'brave, pretty and stupid' Aryan forces. ️ Fascist Society Elements (24:14 - 01:01:13) United Citizen Federation requires military service for citizenship and voting rights. All adult authority figures shown with missing limbs or severe scarring from military service. 14 characteristics of fascism present but modified - notably lacks typical gender hierarchy/sexism. Reproduction licensing system makes having children difficult for non-citizens. Public flogging and televised executions as standard punishments. Bug War Propaganda Analysis (30:42 - 40:12) Buenos Aires meteor attack potentially false flag operation rather than bug weapon. Mormon colony massacre on bug territory used as justification despite humans being invaders. 'Would you like to know more?' segments function as in-universe propaganda reels. Children encouraged to stomp bugs in disturbing propaganda scene. Brain bug capture presented as victory but war clearly being lost. ‍️ Character Development & Military Pipeline (51:47 - 01:00:16) Johnny Rico represents alt-right pipeline - young man radicalized through military indoctrination. Carmen Ibanez portrayed as ambitious, prioritizing military career over relationships. Dizzy Flores changed from male character in book to female love interest. Carl Jenkins represents military intelligence, disappears into classified operations. Sergeant Zim and Lieutenant Rasczak serve as father figures in military structure. Book vs Movie Adaptation (23:13 - 28:17) Originally titled 'Bug Hunt at Outpost 7' before being adapted to Starship Troopers. Director didn't finish reading Heinlein's book, called it 'too boring'. Mobile Infantry in book wore powered armor with jump jets, removed due to budget/wire work complexity. Bugs more technologically advanced in book, movie presents them as purely biological. Buenos Aires not Rico's hometown in book, major plot change for personal motivation. Production Challenges & Behind-the-Scenes (39:34 - 07:35) Cast underwent intensive boot camp training, Casper Van Dien and Dina Meyer sustained injuries during filming. Intoxicated crew member mentioned bomb on flight, disrupting production travel. Pre-visualization test at Vasquez Rocks convinced TriStar to fund after Waterworld concerns. 15-foot practical ship models used alongside CGI for space scenes. Starship Trooper armor reused in multiple productions including Power Rangers, Firefly, Planet of the Apes. Special Effects & Technical Aspects (08:52 - 06:24) Mix of practical and CGI effects particularly effective for bug creatures. Netflix 4K viewing shows quality variations, some scenes appear grainy especially green screen backgrounds. Brain bug close-ups noted as particularly disturbing and well-designed. Space scenes generally poor quality except for specific flight sequences. Cultural Impact & Legacy (14:18 - 17:26) Starcraft, Warhammer 40K, and Helldivers directly influenced by Starship Troopers aesthetics. Five-movie franchise plus Roughnecks CGI TV series expanded universe. Modern resonance with current political climate makes satirical elements more apparent. Gif culture frequently references film during political tensions. Cast & Casting Decisions (17:18 - 21:57) Unknown actors cast intentionally to look 'authentically young' but appear older due to training. Mark Wahlberg and Matt Damon auditioned for Rico role. Dina Meyer originally read for Carmen, chose Dizzy role instead. Neil Patrick Harris commentary recorded pre-How I Met Your Mother fame. Character actors include Amy Smart, Seth Gilliam, Timothy Omundson in small roles. Audience Reception & Box Office (15:07 - 20:09) Test audiences disliked Carmen character, preferred Dizzy. Critical reception missed satirical intent, even thoughtful reviewers uncertain. Box office made budget back but not considered major success. Cult classic status developed over time as satirical elements became more apparent. Thematic Analysis (34:39 - 51:47) Dehumanization through 'bug' imagery parallels historical genocidal rhetoric. Violence as societal foundation explicitly stated in film's philosophy. Military-industrial complex critique through endless war presentation. Youth radicalization process demonstrated through Rico's character arc. Future Adaptations (13:51 - 13:51) Sony developing new Starship Troopers adaptation directed by Neil Blomkamp. Helldivers movie also in development as spiritual successor.

Send us a textListen To Alix's Latest EP "Bug"When songwriters reveal what shaped them, magic happens. Alix Page peels back the curtain on her artistic development in this intimate conversation about the films, music, and stories that built her creative foundation.From her early days leading worship at a Christian middle school to finding her voice at Orange County School of Arts, Alix shares how releasing her first single "Stripes" in 2020 marked the beginning of her musical journey. What truly transformed her approach was discovering Phoebe Bridgers' "Stranger in the Alps" – an album that showed her a new path forward. "I hadn't heard anything like that until then," Alix reveals, explaining how Bridgers' stripped-back authenticity gave her permission to simply show up and be herself.The conversation weaves through unexpected connections – like collaborating with Mark McKenna from "Sing Street" after years of using John Carney's film as pre-tour inspiration, or bumping into Bill Nighy the day after watching him in "Emma." These serendipitous moments mirror Alix's songwriting approach: finding beauty in life's small, meaningful intersections.What emerges is a portrait of an artist whose work blends the melancholic storytelling of Bridgers, the character depth of Jane Austen adaptations, and the emotional honesty of "500 Days of Summer." For fans of Alix's music or anyone fascinated by creative influence, this episode offers a window into how art inspires art across generations and mediums.Listen now to discover the cultural touchstones behind one of today's most captivating emerging songwriters – and perhaps gain insight into the influences shaping your own creative path.See Alix on TourFollow My Pop Five: @mypopfive on all platforms We'll see you next time.

Welcome back to "Mick Unplugged"! In today's riveting episode, we have the honor of interviewing Dima Ghawi—an inspiring leadership coach, author, and speaker dedicated to global leadership, diversity, and inclusion. Dima shares her incredible journey of resilience, from facing death threats due to cultural norms to becoming a beacon of hope and transformation. She offers profound insights into her work in DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion), the challenges leaders face today, and the critical importance of self-discovery and authenticity in leadership. With captivating personal anecdotes and innovative strategies, Dima reveals how investing in oneself can dismantle limiting beliefs and unlock true potential. We also delve into her exciting upcoming projects, including a possible movie adaptation of her life and online leadership development programs. Join us as Mick Hunt and Dima Ghawi explore how to lead with integrity and build inclusive environments that foster growth and creativity. Stay tuned for an episode brimming with inspiration and actionable advice!   The top 5 takeaways from this episode of "Mick Unplugged" featuring Dima Ghawi: The Journey from Survival to Empowerment: Dima Ghawi's personal story of escaping an abusive marriage and facing her father's death threats sheds light on the harrowing realities certain cultural norms enforce. Her journey highlights the transition from merely surviving these threats to thriving through self-discovery, self-love, and eventually, using her experiences to empower others. The Power of DEI in Organizations: Dima's work in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is transformative, both for individuals and organizations. Her efforts with a resistant board of directors illustrate that patience, understanding, and non-judgmental engagement are crucial to achieving buy-in for DEI initiatives. This has resulted in significant changes such as diverse leadership pipelines and DEI certifications within organizations. Constructive Feedback and Leadership Development: Dima stresses the importance of constructive feedback in leadership. Today's leaders often struggle with giving feedback due to fear of confrontation or litigation. However, she emphasizes that honest and constructive conversations can greatly aid in personal and professional growth. Self-Awareness in Leadership: For aspiring leaders, Dima recommends beginning with self-discovery to understand their strengths, communication style, and conflict management abilities. She cautions against being promoted solely based on technical skills without a fundamental understanding of leadership responsibilities. Self-awareness and proactive personal development are vital. Breaking Free from Perfectionism: Drawing from her grandmother's metaphor of a glass vase, Dima encourages individuals to challenge societal and cultural expectations of perfection. She believes in recognizing and questioning these imposed standards, thereby breaking free to pursue personal growth and development. This step is crucial for authentic leadership and forming a genuine connection with others.   Connect and Discover: LinkedIn:  linkedin.com/in/dimaghawi Instagram:  Instagram.com/dima.ghawi Facebook:  facebook.com/profile.php?id=10050491089661 Website:  dimaghawi.com Youtube: @DimaGhawi Book: Breaking Vases: Shattering Limitations & Daring to Thrive    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Get this week's full So Into That newsletter here! https://whattocook.substack.com/p/the-idea-of-you-author-robinne-leeThe Idea of You was a book that changed the way I read. I absolutely loved it. I recommend it all the time. And it was my gateway drug into the romance genre… although, as its author Robinne Lee shares in this episode, she never intended to write a romance novel (nor does she consider it to be one).The Idea of You really is about much more than meets the eye. As Robinne wrote in this Time article, the book grapples with themes including “ageism, sexism, the double standard, motherhood, female friendship, agency, and the dark side of celebrity.” And now that it's been turned into a hit movie starring Anne Hathaway, it's the perfect time to hear from Robinne herself.If you haven't read the book or seen the movie yet (BTW, I really recommend reading the book first!), it follows the relationship between a 40-year-old single mom and art gallery owner (Solène) and a boy-band lead singer 16 years her junior (Hayes). In the podcast, we talk about the inspiration for the book (it's not Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde, y'all); the tension between motherhood, romantic love, and career; what she wishes was different about the movie; and much more.We also get into:* Her hustling for 7 years to sell the book, copy by copy* Why she ended the story the way she did* Writing sex scenes and why she doesn't see TIOY as a romance novel* Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine's performances in the movie* A tantalizing tease about her next bookWhether you're a fan of The Idea of You or not (yet!), I'm so excited for you to get to know Robinne, who is also a talented actor and overall smart and fascinating woman.PS: I know I said So Into That episodes are going to air every other week now, but the world is currently *loving* The Idea of You, so I didn't want to sit on this interview!!
