Podcast appearances and mentions of Paul Verhoeven

AFTERTHOUGHTS ARE DOING THEIR PART, ARE YOU? Their part being the discussion of a film that was divisive at release, now seen as ever-prescient, action packed, and clearly tongue-in-cheek. Join the crew as they enlist to help fight the misconceptions against Paul Verhoeven's satirical adaptation of a military-strong sci-fi story. That's right, this episode we're talking about Starship Troopers (1997). Would you like to know more?

Esmeralda Ruiz recuerda las mejores series de los 80's con Dani Palacios y Juanma González. En el dial de esRadio, dentro del programa En casa de Herrero, Esmeralda Ruiz se rodea de Dani Palacios y Juanma González para abrir una ventana a la nostalgia televisiva. En esta entrega veraniega, los colaboradores se sumergen en los recuerdos de su adolescencia y niñez para analizar el impacto de dos producciones que marcaron a toda una generación: la telecomedia juvenil Salvados por la campana y el entrañable drama familiar Punky Brewster. El repaso comienza con Salvados por la campana, una serie que, según confiesa Dani Palacios, le atrapó por completo hasta el punto de querer emular al carismático protagonista, Zack Morris. Los tertulianos recuerdan la estructura de la serie, ambientada en el ficticio instituto Bayside en California, y cómo retrataba un mundo de juventud idílica. Entre los personajes más destacados, emerge con fuerza la figura de Kelly Kapowski, interpretada por Tiffani-Amber Thiessen, quien fuera el platónico amor de millones de espectadores en la época. La conversación aborda también las trayectorias divergentes de sus actores principales tras el fin de la producción. Uno de los casos más exitosos es el de Mario Lopez, quien daba vida al deportista Slater; Lopez ha logrado consolidarse como un rostro imprescindible de la televisión estadounidense gracias a su faceta como presentador de diversos formatos de éxito. En el extremo opuesto se sitúa el trágico destino de Dustin Diamond, el inolvidable Screech, cuya carrera posterior estuvo marcada por problemas personales, adicciones y un declive profesional que culminó con su prematuro fallecimiento. Por otro lado, recuerdan el sonado fracaso cinematográfico de Elizabeth Berkley, Jessie Spano en la ficción, tras protagonizar la película Showgirls. Aquella cinta, dirigida por Paul Verhoeven, pretendía ser el gran trampolín de la actriz hacia la madurez artística, pero acabó convirtiéndose en un sonado descalabro de crítica y taquilla que lastró su prometedora carrera. Asimismo, analizan algunos de los giros de guion más sorprendentes de la serie, como el inesperado romance entre Zack y Jessie, que rompió temporalmente los esquemas de las parejas tradicionales del instituto. El segundo bloque del espacio se consagra por entero a Punky Brewster, la serie preferida de Esmeralda Ruiz, quien admite haber diseñado esta sección estival con el único propósito de rememorar esta icónica producción de los ochenta. La historia de la pequeña huérfana acogida por un bondadoso pero huraño fotógrafo logró conmover a los espectadores gracias a la química entre la joven Soleil Moon Frye y el veterano actor George Gaynes. Gaynes, muy popular también por su papel del despistado comandante Lassard en la saga cinematográfica Loca Academia de Policía, encarnaba a Henry Warnimont con una entrañable mezcla de brusquedad y ternura. Los colaboradores coinciden en que, bajo su apariencia de comedia infantil, Punky Brewster abordaba con gran valentía diversos temas sociales de enorme complejidad para el público menudo. Asuntos como el abandono de menores, las dificultades de los procesos de adopción, el acoso escolar o el valor de la amistad incondicional se trataban de manera directa y pedagógica. Tampoco se olvidan de Brandon, el fiel perro de la protagonista, que se convirtió en un personaje clave de la serie y en objeto de deseo de toda una generación de niños que ansiaban tener una mascota similar. Para concluir, el análisis destaca cómo el éxito de la serie original propició la creación de una versión animada titulada It's Punky Brewster, que incorporaba elementos fantásticos como el duende Glomer, y un reciente intento de resurrección en el año 2021 con una secuela donde Soleil Moon Frye volvía a interpretar a su icónico personaje, ya en su etapa madura y como madre de familia. Los locutores de esRadio cierran la sección con las notas musicales de su mítica sintonía, dejando claro que el paso del tiempo no ha deslucido el encanto de estas producciones.

Junto a mi compañera, Misery Ratty, nos adentramos en el fascinante y excesivo universo de Showgirls (1995), la polémica película de Paul Verhoeven que llegó a los cines envuelta en escándalo y terminó encontrando, con el paso de los años, un inesperado lugar como película de culto. Hablamos de su producción, de la controvertida recepción que tuvo en su estreno, de sus excesos, sus luces y sus sombras, y de cómo una película inicialmente vapuleada por crítica y público acabó siendo reivindicada desde perspectivas muy diferentes. Una nueva parada en la que nos preguntamos qué hay realmente detrás de la película: ¿desastre cinematográfico, sátira feroz, provocación deliberada o una mezcla imposible de todo ello?

The Summer of Sequels continues as we head back to the streets of Old Detroit to revisit RoboCop 2 (1990). Does this follow-up successfully build on Paul Verhoeven's sci-fi classic, or is it just more bullets, explosions, and corporate greed?We break down the return of Officer Murphy, the rise of the deadly RoboCop 2 program, the introduction of the unforgettable (and unsettling) Hob, and whether the sequel's bigger action and darker tone are enough to live up to the original. Along the way, we discuss the film's satire, stop-motion effects, memorable moments, and where it ranks among the sequels we've covered during our Summer of Sequels series.Stick around until the end of the discussion for a round of Metacritic Mayhem.Safe travels, nomads.

Zum Glück spricht Patrick circa 30 Prozent besser französisch als niederländisch, weswegen er sich diesmal nicht die Zunge verknoten muss, um Namen wie Isabelle Huppert, Laurent Lafitte oder Virginie Efira über die Lippen zu bringen. Aber zuvor begeben sich die Herren Bastian und Lohmeier ins besetzte Holland kurz vor Ende des zweiten Weltkriegs, wo Paul Verhoeven den Spionage-Abenteuerfilm BLACK BOOK (Zwartboek, 2006) angesiedelt hat. Dieser geht nicht nur adäquat respektlos mit dem düstersten Kapitel der Geschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts um, sondert zaubert auch mit Carice van Houten einen neuen Star auf die Leinwand. Ganz anders Madame Huppert, die schon vor ELLE (2016) einer der größten Ikonen des französischen Kinos der letzten Jahrzehnte war. Umso erstaunlicher, dass sich die Schauspielerin für wirklich gar nichts zu fein ist und ihr Porträt einer traumatisierten Frau so schonungslos und ehrlich ist, wie es die düstere Geschichte um Sex, Gewalt und Mord verlangt. Selbiges gibt es auch zur Genüge in BENEDETTA (2021), dem (mutmaßlichen) finalen Werk des niederländischen Regisseurs, das neben lüsternen Nonnen, angriffslustigen Schlangen und platzenden Pestbeulen auch noch einen echten sexy Jesus von Nazareth auffährt. Aber kann dieser pietätlose Historienfilm qualitativ mit dem Rest von Verhoevens Werk mithalten? Hmm, "Jein!", finden Dennis und Patrick ...

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.

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.

Continuing our series on the purported "bad movies" in cinematic history, we're covering Razzie nominee Showgirls! We've been fans of Paul Verhoeven around here for a while, so to see his name lambasted for a movie that is not nearly as bad as everyone would have you believe is something we will not stand for! We reevaluate this film and give it the respect it's due, while also documenting some of its flaws too.We're also drinking Lawson's Finest Liquids' Lager!Approximate timeline0:00-15:00 Intro15:00-25:00 Beer talk25:00-end ShowgirlsDifficult Films continues throughout the month of May!

Is it a biting satire on fascism and the US military industrial complex or is a fun action movie where the guys dressing up like Nazis is just a costume decisions.Does this film have a brain?

Basic Instinct is known as the quintessential 90s erotic thriller... but is it the best one? Join us as we delve into this salacious romp from Dutch filmmaker, Paul Verhoeven, that launched Sharon Stone as a household name ("You're mother was no Sharon Stone"), and saw Michael Douglas continue to play sleazy curmudgeons. Also, as always, we've picked out the most loathsome characters from the film, so join us at the end of the episode in voting for which one was the most deserving to die. If you would like to join our livestream recordings for The Cherry Picker, we would be thrilled to have you with us.

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? Host: Nic Panel: Alex, Nur, Keiko   Directed by: Paul Verhoeven Starring: Peter Weller, Nancy Allen, Ronny Cox, Kurtwood Smith, Miguel Ferrer, Dan O'Herlihy

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. Then they discuss Japanese reality show mastermind, Toshio Tsuchiya (38:00), the man who engineered the most morally questionable reality show stunt of all time!

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.

Ludicrous, overwrought, problematic in places — and still absolutely compelling.Films mentioned: Basic Instinct (1992), Basic Instinct 2 (2006), Vertigo (1958)Cast & crew discussed: Sharon Stone, Michael Douglas, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Wayne Knight, Paul Verhoeven, Jerry GoldsmithYou can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

When the War College students start pranking the Starfleet cadets, the adults in charge only add fuel to their fire. But after Darem fumbles as team captain and Caleb and Tarima get closer, the cadets end the prank war with only a little bit of lab-grown eye trauma. What do we not universally want to know? When is a backwards basketball shot required? Which movie will not be mined for drops? It's the episode with a Paul Verhoeven shot.Support the production of Greatest TrekGet a thing at podshop.biz!Sign up for our mailing list!Greatest Trek is produced by Wynde PriddySocial media is managed by Rob Adler and Bill TilleyMusic by Adam RaguseaFriends of DeSoto for: Labor | Democracy | JusticeDiscuss the show using the hashtag #GreatestTrek and find us on social media:YouTube | Facebook | X | Instagram | TikTok | Mastodon | Bluesky | ThreadsAnd check out these online communities run by FODs: Reddit | USS Hood Discord | Facebook group | Wikia | FriendsOfDeSoto.social Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
