Podcast appearances and mentions of Paul Verhoeven

You wanna live forever? This episode takes on Paul Verhoeven's masterpiece satire of jingoism and fascism, Starship Troopers. A film often misunderstood, dismissed as campy or supporting militarization, Starship Troopers is often deeply misunderstood. On the surface, it looks like a massive, big-budget, brain-dead action movie populated by incredibly beautiful, shiny people from daytime soap operas fighting giant, CGI bugs. But almost thirty years later, Starship Troopers is widely celebrated as one of the sharpest, most subversive political satires ever smuggled into a Hollywood studio budget.

Send us Fan MailYour best vacation might be the one that never happened and that's exactly why Total Recall (1990) still hits. We sit down to relive Paul Verhoeven's sci-fi action classic and pull apart the thing that makes it so rewatchable: it's loud, violent, funny, and weirdly smart about how easy it is to sell someone a story about themselves.We talk through the movie's real backbone, the Philip K. Dick “We Can Remember It For You Wholesale” idea, where memory implants and manufactured identity blur the line between escapism and control. Along the way, we dig into why Arnold Schwarzenegger is such a perfect fit for this specific kind of heightened reality, why the remake's serious tone feels off, and how Verhoeven's campy satire shows up in everything from background ads to the movie's blunt approach to power and propaganda.Then we get practical: the pre-CGI craftsmanship, miniature sets, prosthetics, and the kind of effects work that makes Mars feel grimy and physical. We also share production trivia, talk stunts and on-set injuries, and admit the truth every fan learns sooner or later: you don't watch Total Recall for clean storytelling, you watch it for bold choices, iconic set pieces, and the lingering question of whether Quaid ever leaves the chair.If you had to choose, would you take the comfortable memory or the uncertain truth?

Ep. 39 - RoboCop & Sorry to Bother YouThis week, we are clocking in, selling out, and celebrating two masterpieces of cinematic satire: Paul Verhoeven's RoboCop (1987) and Boots Riley's Sorry to Bother You (2018). These brilliant films weaponize pure, hilarious absurdity to attack corporate greed from opposite ends of the economic spectrum. We look at how RoboCop targets top-down privatization by turning public safety into a corporate playground, while Sorry to Bother You exposes bottom-up labor exploitation through forced identity shifts and surreal workplace horrors. It is a devastating, brilliant double feature about how the modern economic machine attempts to claim total monopoly over our public infrastructure, our voices, and our literal bodies.

Nach drei großen Kinohits in Folge war es vielleicht nur eine Frage der Zeit, bis Paul Verhoeven wieder auf dem Boden der Tatsachen landen würde – oder auf dem heißen (und harten!) Pflaster von Las Vegas. Showgirls (1995) wurde von Kritik und Publikum in aller Welt derart mit Häme überschüttet, dass bis heute fast alle Beteiligten mit Zorn auf den kolossalen Flop zurückblicken, allen voran Hauptdarstellerin Elizabeth Berkley. Aber wie steht es Jahrzehnte später um den Status Quo dieses Millionengrabs aus der Feder von Joe Eszterhas? Meisterwerk? Trashperle? Purer Camp? Der Film ist alles und nichts davon, meinen zumindest Dennis und Patrick. Sehr viel einiger sind sich die beiden Herren hinsichtlich Starship Troopers (1997), für dessen ätzende Satire die Welt vor knapp 30 Jahren nicht bereit schien und der sich mittlerweile x-fach rehabilitiert hat. Ganz anders als Hollow Man (2000), den Verhoeven selbst als kreative Bankrotterklärung betrachtete und ihm den letzten guten Grund lieferte, Hollywood den Rücken zu kehren. Aber so streng sollte der skandalträchtige Regisseur wirklich nicht mit sich selbst ins Gericht gehen ...

Sometimes you just wanna watch an old favorite, you know? For us, that's Paul Verhoeven's 1987 genre-making classic, Robocop. Starring Peter Weller and Kurtwood Smith and made for a much smaller budget than you'd think, Robocop's a slim hundred minute satire of US corporatism and creates one of the most iconic characters in American sci-fi. Set in the near future, Robcop contemplates an unthinkable world where an enormous corporation is endeavoring to gentrify major urban areas and replace human workers with AI, set against a backdrop of increasingly militarized police and privatized public services. Can you imagine? Float along with the manatees as they enjoy this old favorite once again, snark about modern politics, and of course discuss child-rearing and the appropriate age at which ultra-violence can help a child be better adjusted, among other important topics. Float along and have a watch, it's Robocop.

For the first episode of our Acteurist Spotlight on Jennifer Jason Leigh, we watched Amy Heckerling's Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982) and Paul Verhoeven's Flesh + Blood (1985). We explore the possibility of Heckerling's portrait of a young woman's existential journey through the good, the bad, and the ugly of sexual discovery influencing an early draft of the Verhoeven heroine, and the young JJL's unique combination of vulnerability and poise. Then we turn to an extra-long Fear and Moviegoing dealing with a 10-movie retrospective of radical leftist independent filmmaker John Sayles' career at the TIFF Lightbox Cinematheque, attended by Sayles and his producer/ life partner, Maggie Renzi.  Time Codes: 0h 00m 20s:    Very brief intro to Jennifer Jason Leigh            0h 03m 46s:    FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH (1982) [dir.

Vi har gått i mål med vårat Verhoeven-tema och rankar nu de 16 filmerna! Det blir även snack om "American Pie" och annat. 

Nach einem holprigen Start mit der US-europäischen Co-Produktion FLESH + BLOOD (1985) fasste Paul Verhoeven mit seinem englischsprachigen Zweitling ROBOCOP (1987) so richtig Fuß in Hollywood – und im Rest der Welt. Nicht nur ließ die actionreiche SciFi-Satire die Kinokassen klingeln, auch die Kritikerschaft zeigte sich begeistert und machte den umtriebigen Niederländer zum gefeierten wie begehrten Regisseur für starbesetzte Filmprojekte. Und größer als eine Zusammenarbeit mit Arnold Schwarzenegger konnte es in Hollywood anno 1990 kaum werden, weswegen sich auch die Philip K. Dick-Verfilmung TOTAL RECALL: DIE TOTALE ERINNERUNG (1990) wenig überraschend zum dicken Blockbuster mauserte. Das Verhoeven nicht nur großes Effektkino und kontroverse Satire perfekt beherrscht, sondern auch ganze Karrieren wie die von Rutger Hauer auf den richtigen Weg bringen kann, bewies er wiederum mit BASIC INSTINCT (1992). Dessen Erfolg wurde nicht für einige Jahre zum Maßstab für erotische Thriller und ebnete ganz nebenbei Newcomerin Sharon Stone den Weg zum Superstar-Status. Aber ihr mörderischer und grandios inszeniertes Koitus mit Michael Douglas war auch für einen mittelgroßen Skandal gut. Ach, Paul!

It's absolutely bizarre that the first live action adaptation of Starship Troopers from director Paul Verhoeven bombed as badly as it did. Not only that but critics also seemed to have completely missed the not very subtle social commetary in relation to the rise of facism in western society. Now, for the most part I hope, people seem to know better and this movie is recognised for both its satirical nature and incredible action sequences.

Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay just got back from hanging out in Old Detroit to talk about the '80s classic, 'RoboCop.' Bombay kicks off the episode by recalling the first time saw this movie as a youngster, and unwittingly found himself involved in a friend's crimespree. Then the guys ask, "Can you fly, Bobby?" as they discuss seeing the simultaneous low class, and high class brilliance of a film built on tenets of scathing (hilarious) satire that also happens to feature some of the most over the top violence, and gore, in a studio film. They look back fondly at RoboMania, which included a Saturday morning cartoon, and Andy's parents even hiring a RoboCop lookalike for a birthday party. Peter Weller is gripping as the titular robotic police officer, but Kurtwood Smith's delighted unhinged portrayal as the menacingly even Clarence steals the show — along with his looney brand of masochistic thugs. There's plenty of wonderful characters actors, from Miguel Ferrer to Ray Wise, who all do their part to portray a terrifying dystopian Detroit that's only a tad bit scarier than the city was actually in the '80s. Similar to the news segments, and bonkers commercials stingers Paul Verhoeven added throughout, this episode will leave you laughing with delight, and if not, then it's "Your move, creep."

Over the next four weeks we're taking a trip through some classic 1990's science fiction films. An interesting era which still encorporated old school film making techniques like model work, stop motion and rear projection plus early computer generated imagery. This week it's the action classic Total Recall starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sharon Stone from director Paul Verhoeven not to be confused with the 2012 reboot or the book its based on that has a completely different name and premise.

Basic Instinct is known as the quintessential 90s erotic thriller... but is it the best one?

Hatten wir erwähnt, wie sehr wir die (meisten) Filme von Paul Verhoeven lieben? Natürlich hatten wir das. Aber auf der zweiten Etappe unserer filmographischen Reise durch das Werk des holländischen Blockbuster-Provokateurs haben wir wiederum viel Gelegenheit zum kritisch-analytischen Lobhudeln. Mit dem expliziten Teen-Drama Spetters (1980) und dem symbolgeladenen Psychothriller Der 4. Mann (1983) stehen dabei nicht nur zwei wirkliche Highlights auf unserer to-do-Liste, sondern auch die Werke, die Verhoeven schlussendlich Richtung Hollwood wandern ließen. Dass ihm mit dem US-europäischen Abenteuerfilm Flesh + Blood (1985) nicht gleich der ganz große Wurf in Übersee gelang, war sicher nicht nur sein Versagen. Auch Rutger Hauer wollte da ein Wörtchen mitreden. Aber das ist nur eine von zahlreichen Anekdoten zur Produktion dieser drei Filmperlen, die wir für unsere heutige Podcastfolge aus den Archiven gekramt haben.

This week, we head to the crime-ridden dystopia of Detroit where corporations rule, criminals laugh like maniacs, and the solution to urban decay is… a heavily armed cyborg cop with excellent posture. Join Nic, Matthew, Keiko, Nur, and Alex as they revisit RoboCop (1987), Paul Verhoeven's ultraviolent, razor-sharp satire that somehow convinced an entire generation of kids that this was appropriate viewing. We're asking the important questions: Is this actually one of the smartest sci-fi films ever made… or just an excuse for explosive squibs and corporate slimeballs? Why did we all think ED-209 was just a normal workplace hazard? Does RoboCop count as a superhero, a horror monster, or the world's saddest HR case study? And how did this movie spawn toys, cartoons, and birthday parties? Along the way, we break down the film's biting commentary on privatization, media culture, and late-stage capitalism—while also appreciating just how completely unhinged it gets. It's part Blade Runner, part Die Hard, and part “what if the evening news was written by lunatics?” Does RoboCop (1987) hold up as a masterpiece of satire, or were our childhood brains just too distracted by explosions to notice the deeper themes? Dead or alive, you're listening to this episode. Want to pick a movie we do an episode on and record a special commentary just for you? Purchase something from our wish list!  We are riffers on Cineprov! Check us out!! How will RoboCop (1987) hold up?

This week, James and Chris are joined by the amazing Gavin Crawford! They talk about barbershops, sperm counts, Paul Verhoeven, and Gavin's impressive handyman abilities.

LexG with some mini "lightning rounds" on a few formative faves, from David Cronenberg to Kathryn Bigelow to Walter Hill, with a few shorter riffs on Paul Verhoeven, Peter Hyams, and John Badham. Not meant to be comprehensive or scholarly, just freeform riffing about some favorite filmmakers, in what might become an ongoing occasional series or segment.

As I started to look to 2026, I knew there was still more to cover in this series beyond what we hit upon in the five episodes last year in discussing authoritarianism in cinema. One of the richest genres doing that was science fiction which, coincidentally, is what led to my emphasis on the genre this year. With such a vast subject, there was only one choice to join me on this episode- the person who started this series with me, Jason from Binge Movies and The Slashers. This is probably the most obvious lineup we've had yet, but when you have movies like Fritz Lang's "Metropolis", John Carpenter's "They Live" and Paul Verhoeven's "Starship Troopers", you already have not just compelling films to watch, but a wealth of depth to cover. I hope you enjoy!

On this special “From the Vault” episode of the podcast that wields films like deadly weapons, Jay and Mike hit pause on their usual cycle of cinematic punishment to dig into the archives and revisit a piece of Filmjitsu history. With many of the most infamous “bad movie” staples already covered during the show's original run, some titles have been left in limbo... until now. This week, the vault opens on Showgirls and listeners are taken back to 2010, where a much younger Mike, alongside original co-host John, tries to make sense of Paul Verhoeven's neon-drenched spectacle of excess. Along the way, the guys count down their Bottom Five Movie Dances, square off in a round of Matinee Deathmatch—naming films within a chosen theme until one host taps out—and then close things out with a pair of Staff Picks to cleanse the palate after all the cinematic carnage. Next week, the torment resumes, as Mike's revenge continues and Jay reports back on The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot as scheduled.

Content warning: Showgirls depicts sexual violence as a central theme, and this is discussed in the podcast. The podcast tackles Paul Verhoeven's misunderstood masterpiece Showgirls (1995), and celebration the singularity of Elizabeth Berkley's incredible performance as Nomi Malone, the eternal cowboy of America. And then we bring Sex Month to a close by doling out some expert sex advice. Next week (May 1, 2026): The Devil Wears Prada (2006)!

Gorilla facts, immediately resorting to (non-pervert) crimes if given the chance to be invisible, and getting our Oscars wrong (although Natalie was right, Beetlejuice also was nominated - and won for best makeup). We cover it all with a latex face mask as we discuss Paul Verhoeven's "Hollow Man"!

Matt and Laci dive deep into Hellraiser (1987). Matt, a long-time fan of the movie, and Laci, a first-time viewer, discuss the film's production history and the life and philosophy of its creator, Clive Barker. They explore Barker's background, including his early work in theater, his time as a male escort, and his unique perspective on integrating explicit sexuality and body horror into his work.  Two prior adaptations of his work led Barker to want to take tight control of a third adaptation, which meant he would need to direct it himself. And what an incredible feat the film is for a first-time filmmaker. 1WR tells that story, including how Barker recruited his longtime friend Doug Bradley to play the iconic role of Pinhead.  Then, a long breakdown of the movie itself. How does it play for a first-time viewer? How well do its practical effects hold up? Do its themes make sense? Has any movie character ever hated their spouse as much as Julia hates Larry? And is Hellraiser as scary as we assumed it would be when we saw the VHS box in the video store as children? Is anything? Finally, Pinhead himself joins us to give some sex advice.

Ein Traum wird wahr! Oder vielmehr: Een droom komt uit! Wir sprechen über niemand geringeren als Paul Verhoeven, den wohl größten Kinoprovokateur seiner Generation, der sowohl in Europa als auch Hollywood so ziemlich jedes Tabu brach und dabei auch noch die Kinokassen klingeln ließ. Dennis' Blick auf das Frühwerk des Crazy Dutchman ist dabei noch jungfräulich, hat er doch keinen der in Holland produzierten Filme von Verhoeven bisher gesehen. Sein Verlust, wie sein Co-Host und Türkische Früchte (1973)-Megafan Patrick findet. Letztendlich werden sich die beiden Herren aber schnell einig über die Qualitäten der ersten drei rezensierten Filme zu denen neben der tragischen Liebesgeschichte mit der zuckrigen Süßigkeit im Titel noch die Sexfarce Was seh ich …! Was seh …! (1971) und die Lebensgeschichte des _Mädchens Keetje Tippel _(1975) gehören. Nur Der Soldat von Oranien (1977) sorgt für kritische Stimmen, denn im Kriegsgetümmel geht ein bisschen das Herz verloren …

We talk to Gershon about the book, working with Robert Altman on The Player and her battles with Paul Verhoeven while filming Showgirls.

This week, we drop into the front lines with Starship Troopers—a sci-fi spectacle packed with giant bugs, over-the-top action, and razor-sharp satire. It's loud, brutal, and smarter than it first appears, with Paul Verhoeven delivering a cult classic that still sparks debate. Casper Van Dien leads the charge in a film that blends propaganda, patriotism, and pure chaos into one unforgettable ride.

This week we are joined by a true and original friend of the show, Farhad, to continue the exploration of the Paul Verhoeven action satire trilogy with 1990's "Total Recall". Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sharon Stone, Michael Ironside, Robby Cox, and Rachel Ticotin alongside others, this 90s classic adapts Phillip K. Dick's short story, "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale." We discuss Verhoeven's repeated misinterpretation by conservative viewers, the progressive levels of complexity his movies achieve, and the metaphorical power of overcrowded aquariums.Left of the Projector LinksOfficial WebsiteLeft of the Projector on LetterboxdLeft of the Projector on InstagramLeft of the Projector on PatreonLeft of the Projector on ThreadlessHost LinksEvan's LetterboxdBill's InstagramBill's LetterboxdWard's InstagramWard's Letterboxd

"Gina G is a national treasure, a rare kind of legend who's more than an actress and storyteller; she's a rock and roll goddess, proof that grit, glamour, and guts are still stitched into the fabric of fame. Opening up about her times with Prince and wild days in the deep Valley, for fans and friends alike, it's a ride as electric as she is." -Miley CyrusFrom a wayward California girl growing up in the heart of the porn-born San Fernando Valley, Gina Gershon found herself on a journey that has been anything but traditional. Along the way, she had to learn how to spot the toxic types-in both her personal life and her career-and figure out how to dodge, outsmart, or hustle her way through. From the Valley to the slums of Beverly Hills to New York City, she was confronted with shady characters and sketchy situations, all the while fighting to protect her autonomy as a woman and as an actress with a decidedly unconventional path. AlphaPussy is a collection of true stories that explore themes of experience, survival, and the art of figuring it out as you go. They include strange encounters with celebrities and film directors such as Paul Verhoeven, Tom Cruise, Sharon Stone, Prince, Jennifer Tilly, Sylvester Stallone, David Mamet, Bob Fosse, and so many others. Often hilarious, usually cautionary, and almost always wrapped in absurdity, Gershon's tales explore how she found herself through bad decisions, awkward moments, and cringe-worthy encounters that somehow gave rise to survival skills. Gershon stresses that while it can be important to listen to others, it's more important to listen to oneself. To trust your gut. In a world full of bullies, predators, and people trying to tell her who she was, or who she should be, it was crucial for Gershon to become an AlphaPussy: a woman who navigates through this perilous jungle of a world with personal agency and responsibility.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.
