This week Cooper and Nolan are celebrating their 69th episode by taking a risqué ride with BASIC INSTINCT 2! 14 years after the shocking events of the original, Sharon Stone is back to prove that older women can still be sexy. But can older women carry almost 2 hours of movie without help from Michael Douglas and director Paul Verhoeven? If you've seen this then you already know the answer, but there's still plenty of ridiculous things to talk about and inappropriate jokes to be made (not to mention a beer selection that Ms. Stone would probably *NOT* appreciate from Country Boy Brewing). It's going to be a steamy good time, so ditch your inhibitions and get ready to dive in; this episode is a risk you won't regret taking!

Total Recall 2012 movie review is mostly the Salty Nerds talking about how many times they fell asleep while watching this extremely boring action movie. This "reimagining" of the classic Arnold Schwarzenegger film from Paul Verhoeven comes to us from the creator of the Underworld franchise, Len Wiseman. Starring Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel, and Bryan Cranston, Total Recall is the story of Douglas Quaid who may or may not be a secret agent that's forced to choose between his hot wife and his hot girlfriend in order to save the world from evil corporate interests, all while never going to Mars. Though this movie is visually stunning (with lots of lens flare!) and the actors are all very good looking, it's missing the charm and fun of the original film, and is the epitome of a "slacktion" film.

Best Pick with John Dorney, Jessica Regan and Tom Salinsky Episode 229: RoboCop Released 21 September 2022 For this episode, we watched class eighties action flick RoboCop, but despite the trashy title this is film which hides a great deal of cleverness and even heart under its brutality, bloodletting and general excess. The script was by Edward Neumeier and Michael Miner, and it was the first American film for Dutch director Paul Verhoeven. It cost about $14 million to make, it took over $50 million at the box office and it picked up two competitive Oscar nominations and a special award for its sound. https://lithub.com/on-hilary-mantels-birthday-please-enjoy-her-1988-review-of-robocop/ Buckaroo Banzai https://youtu.be/RdanCNK4ayo Turkish Delight https://youtu.be/tK1wZt6MzI8 Robocop cartoon https://youtu.be/Yp4Sqn0eX_Q “John Murphy” https://youtu.be/lZd2YyuRaug?t=132 Smooth animation https://youtu.be/8ln11zEWW4U Militarised police https://youtu.be/WYdi1bL6s10?t=392 BEST PICK – the book is out now from all the usual places, including… From the publisher https://tinyurl.com/best-pick-book-rowman UK Amazon https://amzn.to/3zFNATI US Amazon https://www.amzn.com/1538163101 UK bookstore https://www.waterstones.com/book/9781538163108 US bookstore https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/best-pick-john-dorney/1139956434 Audio book https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/Best-Pick-Audiobook/B09SBMX1V4 To send in your questions, comments, thoughts and ideas, you can join our Facebook group, Tweet us on @bestpickpod or email us on bestpickpod@gmail.com.

Total Recall 1990 movie review from the Salty Nerds has them all wanting to get their ass to Mars so they can unlock ancient alien artifacts and party with three-tittied hookers. After all, they got 5 kids to feed! Based on the Philip K. Dick short story We Can Remember It For You Wholesale, Total Recall marks the only collaboration between Arnold Schwarzenegger and Paul Verhoeven, and it's glorious to behold. Also starring a very sexy Sharon Stone, as well as Michael Ironside and Ronny Cox, Total Recall is the tale of a lowly construction worker named Quaid whose visit to the memory implant facility of Recall goes horribly wrong, and now his wife is trying to kill him and he has to go to Mars to uncover the mystery surrounding his true identity. But are the harrowing events really happening, or are they all part of a psychotic delusion brought upon by a botched Recall procedure? What is your Total Recall 1990 movie review? Did you love it?

Today the Arthro-Pod gang are teaming up to do their part to dissect the 1997 film, Starship Troopers. Directed by Paul Verhoeven and starring a motley mix of 1990's handsome people, the sci-fi film fared poorly in its original theatrical run. After re-evaluation current critical consensus is that the film is a great parody of fascism and the arc of authoritarian governments. We'll talk about all that but we really want to focus on the bugs... Are they realistic, for giant space bugs that is? What insects inspired them? What exactly are they doing out there in space? Do you want to know more...?Then tune in! Show NotesCheck out the "Starship Troopers" wiki if you want to learn about the various species of "bugs". https://starshiptroopers.fandom.com/wiki/Starship_Troopers_Wiki https://www.theverge.com/21319886/starship-troopers-movie-yesterdays-future Questions?

In this episode, Winston and Nick talk about Paul Verhoeven's parody-turned-prophetic sci fi flick, Robocop.

Summer is done, and thanks to an absolute blowout of an audience poll, Cooper and Nolan are going on a bug hunt with STARSHIP TROOPERS! Whether you consider this late 90s Paul Verhoeven movie razor sharp satire or actual fascist propaganda (or just a kick-ass piece of 90s action), there's one thing we can ALL agree on - Jake Busey was the wrong choice. There's plenty of other strange decisions that went into this one and the guys are covering them all, so come on you apes; this episode (featuring a beer created by Iron Maiden!) is one you're definitely going to want to sign up for.

Hello! I'm beyond excited to share this week's episode with you. I'm joined by writer Dylan James Quarles (The Ruins of Mars) to talk about the 90s Luc Besson sci-fi, action-adventure, but sometimes also love story, The Fifth Element. Topics covered range from Paul Verhoeven to 'maximalism' to Gary Oldman's chameleon-like greatness to the odd sexualization of an alien-baby universe savior. Food for thought: can you think of any other films in the history of cinema where the film's good guy doesn't actually ever have a scene with the film's bad guy? Enjoy!

The first film is a cynical version of the book, which, depending on how you see it, is either sheer Paul Verhoeven brilliance or horrible bastardization of Heinlien's original work and intent. This week, Thomas had to step out, which is too bad as the bigger discussion was right up his alley. Still, Scott more than made up for it.

Join us as we follow the Mobile Infantry to Klendathu to exterminate the bug scourge that has declared war with the Federation once they launched the asteroid that destroyed Buenos Aires. The bugs are non-stop killing machines, but Rico’s Roughnecks are gonna put that claim to the test. Again, Paul Verhoeven bringing brilliant satire in … Continue reading Starship Troopers →

On it's 25th anniversary, we revisit Paul Verhoeven's misunderstood action satire, Starship Troopers. What the movie lacks in acting, it makes up for with special effects. Will the larger message and special effects help this movie invade the Action Movie Hall of Fame, or will Matt and Dereck use the best democratic tool they have (violence) to keep it out? Do you want to know more? Just listen to this week's episode of the AMHOF.

MAIN EPISODE: This week, the talented hosts of the film comedy podcast, First Prize Films join the cinematic roundtable to unpack RoboCop from 1987.Join us as Blake and Dave unpack the all too relevant themes embedded in Paul Verhoeven's dark satire. Set in the near future, Detroit is overrun with crime and in this version of America, corporations fund and arm the police with high-tech weapons. Taking advantage of a fallen officer, Murphy, they transform the remnants of his body to construct a super soldier, RoboCop. This walking tank is designed to suppress criminals and uphold the rule of law, but what does that mean to the humanity of the city and more importantly, the man inside the metal suit.Catch Blake and Dave on their podcast, First Prize Films.Support Cinedicate on PatreonConnect with Cinedicate on these social platforms!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cinedicate/Twitter: https://twitter.com/cinedicate/Discord: https://www.cinedicate.com/discord Get bonus content on Patreon Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

This week we are discussing Paul Verhoeven's 1987 satirical masterpiece ‘Robocop.' Starring Peter Weller, Nancy Allen, and Kurtwood Smith, this film shows what happens when a terminally wounded cop returns to the force as a powerful cyborg haunted by submerged memories. We lament the lack of these satires in today's cultural landscape, debate whether Carson can wear a Robocop t-shirt or have a Robocop action figure, invent a new game, officially declare a new catch phrase for the show, and have a REAL good time.

Ha Ha Ha! You think this is the real podcast? It is!The Film Nerds are back for another week of movie goodness, and they're kicking back this week with Paul Verhoeven's ultra-violent action sci-fi masterpiece from 1990.  Hear about the controversial history of gratuitous violence in film that brought us to this point in history, the drama of a development process that nearly killed the film, the actor and the ambitious studio that saved the project, the groundbreaking visual effects, and more! Was it all a dream? This podcast certainly isn't!

This episode we look at the Cool Copaganda dystopian classic ROBOCOP.   But first Raquel worries about the future of Stephen King movies after FIRESTARTER tanks at the box office and Raphael has to assure her that Stephen's career will be just fine even if they stop releasing adaptations of his stuff (which they never will).   This is a 1st watch for Raquel, who actually thought it was an Arnold Schwarzeneggar movie all these years. How relevant is this movie today? Is it too stuck in the 1980s? Raphael breaks down modern policing and its problems and how ROBOCOP actually was a depressingly prescient film in that regard. There a whole lot of talk about the privitization of the public sector in modern times and how ROBOCOP follows a trend of films that warned us about the problems of that. Dutch director Paul Verhoeven's outsider eye on American culture seems to be a perfect blend of cynicism and comedy. Its crazy how much this film feels like a proto-24 hour news cycle TV channel.   This movie is far smarter than it needed to be, and you'll be too after listening to this episode!   The Generation Splice is a film podcast where retired psychologist Dr. Raquel Martinez, a Baby Boomer through & through, & her son Raphael Jose Martinez, a cranky millennial punk rocker/film writer, discuss various films through the lens of their generation & personal experiences. Every week one host picks a movie to dissect & see if they can splice together the generation gap via their love of film.   Feel free to write to us!

Ian and Cole lock pincers for a very special look at Starship Troopers!In the distant future, mankind has expanded its reach into deep space, united by an omnipresent military culture. When a far-flung species of giant bug-like aliens threatens to destroy Earth, a young Mobile Infantry recruit finds himself thrust into a world of gut-wrenching combat, moral challenges, and the chilling prospect that a new lifeform is viciously ascending the food chain.Paul Verhoeven's 1997 big-budget flop was billed as a biting military satire set against a sci-fi action backdrop. But in adapting Robert Heinlein's serious-minded, award-winning 1959 novel, the Robocop director appears to have (literally) lost the plot.In this spoilerific examination, the guys approach this dilemma from very different angles: one loved the book and disliked much of the movie; the other hated Heinlein's novel and found the film to be goofy but enjoyable. From teen drama love triangles, to a debate on propaganda, to the mystery of the missing mech suits, this installment of "Page2Screen" establishes a wide perimeter for its scorched-earth bug hunt!Show Links:Watch the Starship Troopers trailer.Keep up with all of Cole's literary criticism at:The Quill to LiveTorPlus: In case you missed it, check out Cole's recent appearance on NBC's revival of the classic game show, Password!

On this episode of Movie Buffs we celebrated the 35th anniversary of Paul Verhoeven's ultra-violent, futuristic masterpiece, Robocop. We discussed the unrelenting action sequences and one of a kind performances from its loaded cast.

We've got some red hot action for you where a certain Alex Murphy gets shredded and rebuilt as the formidable RoboCop!

Jordan and Brooke are rejoined by entertainment writer Brianna Zigler (Paste Magazine) to discuss Paul Verhoeven's 1992 iconic erotic thriller. This movie has everything: extremely valid controveries, extremely ludicrous controversies, the line "magna cum laude pussy," three (3!) queer lead characters, and Michael Douglas wearing a v-neck sweater to the club. Plus, our takes on the modern state of erotic thrillers, the power of on-screen sexuality, and how bady we'd like a Sharon Stone renaissance.Follow us on Twitter!

In episode 3 of our Erotic Cinema series, Sarah and Mary analyse a Paul Verhoeven double bill over a delicious meal of brown rice and vegetables. We discuss excess and female jouissance in Basic Instinct (1992) and Showgirls (1995).

During the summer of 1987, two movies were released that defined 80's action movies, John McTiernan's "Predator" and Paul Verhoeven's "Robocop".  Both of these became iconic franchises that spawned multiple sequels, outshoots and now prequels.  One of these had a cast of macho 80s alpha action stars and one had virtual unknowns.  This week we give you the stories behind the making of these two movies.  Which do you choose?  Your move, creep!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
