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.

Först ut i vårat RoboCop-tema är givetvis den klassiska första filmen, originalet som kom ut 1987, regisserad av Paul Verhoeven. Huvudrollen spelas givetvis av legendariska Peter Weller. Det blir one-liners och blodigt övervåld på deluxe-nivå, var så säkra!   Dead or alive, you're coming with me!   RoboCop (1987): "Filmen utspelar sig i ett framtida Detroit med extrem kriminalitet. Polismakten är inte anställd av staden utan av det privata företaget OCP (Omni Consumer Products). För att komma till rätta med brottsligheten lanserar OCP en ny lösning för brottsbekämpningen: en polisrobot som delvis består av en polis som skjutits under ett tjänsteuppdrag. OCP:s andreman vill dock att projektet ska misslyckas, och när den döde polismannens minnen börjar återkomma och han söker efter den brottsling som dödade honom, får vice-VD:n vatten på sin kvarn, och lanserar sin version av robotpolis, ED-209."   Superlänk till våra plattformar: http://linktr.ee/filmsmakarna   #RoboCop #PaulVerhoeven #PeterWeller

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."

insta : laboite2chocolat ou la_boitedechocolatPour ce 32 eme épisode on va se faire un mec qui est 50% homme, 50% machine mais surtout 100% FLIC ! En effet ce soir on se fait Robocop premier du nom (et ça sera d'ailleurs le seul qu'on fera, les autres sont vraiment nazes !) Alors Robocop ça raconte quoi ? Et bien ça nous dit que Detroit ressemble à une frite oubliée au fond d'une huile de vidange. La ville est gangrenée par le crime, les punks ont des coupes de cheveux faites à la disqueuse tout droit sortie de StarMania et les grandes entreprises rêvent surtout de privatiser l'air que tu respires. Au milieu de ce joyeux barbecue social, Alex Murphy, flic honnête et père de famille version “je suis à deux jours de la retraite émotionnelle”, se fait littéralement transformer en steak haché par une bande de criminels sous cocaïne industrielle, dans une scène ULTRA GORE pour un film seulement interdit au moins de 12 ans !Mais surprise: la mégacorporation OCP récupère ses restes, et grâce à deux vis, trois boulons, un firmware douteux, Murphy devient RoboCop ! Le résultat est un cyborg flic qui distribue des pruneaux avec la délicatesse d'un camion-benne lancé dans une garderie. Entre deux fusillades où les méchants explosent comme des pastèques remplies de ketchup, RoboCop redécouvre petit à petit qu'il était autrefois humain. Ce qui est compliqué quand ton visage ressemble à un jambon oublié sous une plaque chauffante.Le film jongle tranquillement entre satire ultraviolente et pub télé absurde. On y croise des cadres d'entreprise qui transpirent de la coke de partout, un robot géant incapable de descendre un escalier sans provoquer un massacre, et des criminels tellement excessifs qu'on dirait un groupe de glam metal nourri exclusivement aux amphétamines et à la viande séchée.Et au milieu de tout ça, Paul Verhoeven balance une critique du capitalisme avec la subtilité d'une batte de baseball cloutée, le tout sur un thème légendaire.Bref, c'est un conte philosophique cyberpunk où un cadavre réapprend son humanité à coups de cartouches explosives et de répliques sèches. Une sorte de Pinocchio ultraviolent en armure chromée, perdu dans un monde où même les pubs télé ont l'air de vouloir te poignarder.Pour parler de ce film, on retrouve Thomas, Charlie, Mia et Pepinot.N'hésitez pas d'ailleurs à nous LAISSER DES COMMENTAIRES ET AUSSI DES BONNES ETOILES (déjà parce qu'on est des gens cool), et puis aussi suggérez nous des films, on les fera avec plaisir.VOUS ETES DE PLUS EN PLUS NOMBREUX, SOYEZ DE MOINS EN MOINS TIMIDE voici notre mail pour toutes suggestions / propositions de films : laboitedechocolatmail@gmail.com Hébergé par Acast.

Myopia: Defend Your Childhood - A Nostalgic Movies Podcast

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?

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?

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.

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 …!

"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.

“We're doing our part” Join Ian, Liam, Megs & Kev for our 315th episode as we suit up, grab the propaganda reel, and drop feet-first into Paul Verhoeven's gloriously misunderstood sci-fi satire Starship Troopers (1997). It's bugs, blood, and bare-faced ideology this week as we try to work out whether this film knew exactly what it was doing all along. Do you want to know more? This week we discuss: The tone problem (or lack thereof) — is Starship Troopers a dumb action movie, a razor-sharp satire, or both at the same time? Paul Verhoeven's intent — does the film critique fascism so hard that some audiences miss the joke entirely? The performances — intentionally wooden propaganda archetypes, or just bad acting elevated by context? The aesthetics of fascism — uniforms, slogans, and spectacle. Why does the film make authoritarianism look so seductive? Ian breaks down the film's satirical mechanics — how exaggeration, repetition, and irony do the heavy lifting. Liam explores audience reception — why the film was misunderstood on release and reclaimed years later. Megs looks at gender and violence — equal-opportunity brutality, shower scenes, and the illusion of empowerment. Kev weighs in on the action — but don't get him started on the never-ending rounds of bullets The enemy — are the Arachnids monsters, victims, or an invented threat to justify endless war? The propaganda interstitials — world-building masterstrokes or narrative interruptions? Synthia joins us for The Endgame — helping us unpack the film's legacy, its political bite, and why it feels even more relevant now than it did in 1997. The ending — triumphant, horrifying, or both? What are we actually meant to cheer for? And finally, whether Starship Troopers is the Best Film Ever — or one of the smartest films ever disguised as a stupid one.

In this celebratory 200th episode of Bloodhaus, hosts Joshua Conkel and Drusilla reflect on their journey through arthouse horror films. They delve into the thematic exploration of nuns in cinema, focusing on Paul Verhoeven's 'Benedetta' before switching to discuss the low brow effort that is 'The Nun'. Benedetta is a 2021 biographical psychological drama film co-written and directed by Paul Verhoeven, starring Virginie Efira as Benedetta Carlini, a nun in the 17th century who joins an Italian convent while a young child and later has a lesbian love affair with another nun, while seeing religious visions.[4][5]The Nun is a 2018 American gothic supernatural horror film directed by Corin Hardy and written by Gary Dauberman, from a story by Dauberman and James Wan. It serves as a spiritual spin-off to The Conjuring 2 and is the fifth installment in The Conjuring shared universe. The film stars Taissa Farmiga, Demián Bichir and Jonas Bloquet, with Bonnie Aarons reprising her role as the Demon Nun, an incarnation of Valak, from The Conjuring 2. The plot follows a Roman Catholic priest and a nun in her novitiate as they uncover an unholy secret in 1952 Romania. It has a sequel, The Nun II, released in 2023.NEXT WEEK: Thirst (2009)Bloodhaus:https://www.bloodhauspod.com/https://www.instagram.com/bloodhauspod/https://letterboxd.com/bloodhaus/Drusilla Adeline:https://www.sisterhydedesign.com/https://letterboxd.com/sisterhyde/https://www.instagram.com/sister__hyde/Joshua Conkelhttps://www.joshuaconkel.com/https://www.instagram.com/joshua_conkel/https://letterboxd.com/JoshuaConkel/
