Get ready for satirical pro-fascist military propaganda to be thrown in your face, as well as so many bugs. Do we like to watch co-ed shower scenes? How many people got heat stroke filming this movie? And what kind of genocide does this movie most closely reflect? Tune in this week to find out all this and more, but only on "The Good, The Bad, & The Movies"!P.S.

Did you know that Starship Troopers isn't just a regular action movie? It might seem like Paul Verhoeven's 1997 sci-fi film is a shallow war tale about Casper Van Dien shooting bugs, but it's a lot deeper than that... It's a satire! We're the first ever podcasters to realise that this movie has a lot going on under the surface, and that's what we're discussing on this week's episode!Join our Patreon for our bonus episodes! https://www.patreon.com/oldiebutagoodiepodFollow the show!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oldiebutagoodiepod/Facebook: https://fb.me/oldiebutagoodiepodPodcast Platforms: https://linktr.ee/oldiebutagoodiepodGot feedback?

In this episode we're sharing the story "Blowups Happen", written in 1940 by Robert Heinlein. Among other things, Heinlein might be best known as the writer of Starship Troopers. This story was also featured on Weird Darkness, the paranormal podcast hosted by our narrator Darren Marlar. You can check out that podcast at Weird Darkness dot com. "Blowups Happen" describes the tensions among the staff of a nuclear reactor. Heinlein's concept of a nuclear reactor was one of a barely contained explosion, closer to the mini star from Spider-Man 2 than anything we have in real life. As a consequence the work is dangerous, and the slightest mistake could be catastrophic. Although we've certainly learned that can also be the case with real life nuclear reactors. All the technical staff are monitored by psychologists who have the authority to remove them from the work at any time lest they crack under the pressure and precipitate a disaster. The monitoring itself contributes to the problem. In writing the story, Heinlein only had public knowledge of nuclear fission, but still, he somehow anticipated the actual development of nuclear technology which arose just a few years later. The story was first published in Astounding Science Fiction in 1940, before any nuclear reactors had ever even been built. A few years later when the story was re-released in the 1946 anthology The Best of Science Fiction, Heinlein did make a few modifications to the story in order to reflect how a reactor actually worked, as more information about nuclear energy and reactors was available. He also at that time made revisions to mention Hiroshima and Nagasaki Since those nuclear attacks had taken place after his original short story had been published. But we'll be sharing the original magazine publication version from 1940, without the updates and revisions – something to keep in mind while listening. And if you like the story tonight and want to know what happens next, Robert Heinlein did write a sequel called “The Man Who Sold The Moon”. “Blowups Happen” is also an award-winning story – in 2016 it was nominated for the 1941 Retro-Hugo Award for Best Novelette. Please keep in mind the story was published in 1940, so some of the language – particular one term used to describe those who have black skin – was not as frowned upon back then. Darren and I both think it's important to present the story the way the authors wrote it. With that in mind, grab some snacks and a drink and settle in and enjoy “Blowups Happen” by Robert Heinlein.If you have a story you'd like to contribute to the series, you can visit https://submissions.soundconceptmedia.com/You can support the show by becoming a paid subscriber on Substack: https://auditoryanthology.substack.comBy becoming a paid subscriber you can listen to every episode completely ad-free!Curator: Keith Conrad linktr.ee/keithrconradNarrator: Darren Marlar https://darrenmarlar.com/Other shows hosted by Darren:Weird Darkness: https://weirddarkness.com/Paranormality Magazine: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/paranormalitymagMicro Terrors: Scary Stories for Kids: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/microterrorsRetro Radio – Old Time Radio In The Dark: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/retroradioChurch of the Undead: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/churchoftheundead Hosted on Acast.

Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind - Ep 347: We return to our longform examination of acclaimed animation director, Hayao Miyazaki, and find ourselves in an apocalyptic future where the struggle for survival is heading to a clash between man and nature. Can one girl's compassion be the beacon of light that fulfills a prophecy to end the bloodshed once and for all?

This week on Born to Watch, we dive headfirst into the bug-infested chaos of Paul Verhoeven's 1997 cult classic, with our Starship Troopers (1997) Review. It's brutal, brilliant, and batshit insane and we wouldn't have it any other way.With the Born to Watch crew all lined up in the co-ed showers, Whitey, Damo, Dan, and special guest Matty Beer Geek go deep (but not too deep) on the movie that was mocked at release but has grown into a beloved sci-fi satire. Is this just a brainless space action flick? Or is it a razor-sharp takedown of fascism and militarism? Or both? Spoiler: it's both.We break down the iconic moments: the ridiculously perfect jawlines of Casper Van Dien and Denise Richards, Michael Ironside chewing scenery like the legend he is, and Jake Busey's teeth doing most of the acting for him. From Zegema Beach to brain bug psychic probes, we cover it all.Expect plenty of laughs as the boys recall their first times watching it, at sweaty cinemas, VHS marathons, and maybe even the odd midnight screening. Plus, some heartfelt debate: Dizzy or Carmen? Would you sign up to be a citizen or sit back and let the bugs win? And yes, we do get very specific about the co-ed shower logistics (spoiler: prep is key).There's also time for a raucous trip down 1997 memory lane. Damo sweats it out in the back row, Dan's off riding dirt bikes through Romania and eating 19 types of salami, and Matty brings his A-game from the West. We revisit the hottest music of the year, the infamous Playboys of McDonald's video rental section, and mourn the box office fate of Starship Troopers. This misunderstood gem lost money but gained a cult following.With a budget that would make even the Federation blush, and CGI bugs that still look better than some 2025 blockbusters, Starship Troopers is pure Verhoeven: provocative, pervy, and politically charged.We also take aim at the critical drubbing this movie received on release, some reviewers clearly didn't get the joke. We shine a light on the film's relevance today: Would the satire hit harder in a post-Hunger Games, post-Fury Road world? Is this what our future looks like if TikTok replaces civics education?In true Born to Watch fashion, we ask the tough questions:Is this Verhoeven's secret masterpiece?Who's worse: Carmen or the bugs?And most importantly, how do you prep for a co-ed shower in boot camp?Whether you're a superfan who's seen it 30 times or a rookie just enlisting in the Mobile Infantry, this episode is for you. So load your Morita rifle, shout “Kill ‘em all!”, and join us as we break down Starship Troopers the only way we know how, boobs, bugs, banter, and all.Because remember: everyone fights. No one quits. And we were Born to Watch.

On this episode of Remainders we watch the 1997 political sci-fi movie Starship Troopers. Dismissed upon release as a generic action movie, time has been kind to this movie about fascism and soldier recruitment in a pro-war society. A militarized society in the future waging war against a sub-human alien species, Starship has gained cultural appreciation as a meta-film about wartime propaganda. A first-time viewing for one, we'll see if this is a dumb, fun movie or an indictment of fascism. Or both.Other topics include a David Lynch retrospective, the passing of Nikky Katt, new shows we're watching, and we ask the question: If a movie debuts and is only on streaming, does it really exist?Songs of the WeekFoolish Heart by The MavericksThe Baron by Johnny CashRemainders Jukebox PlaylistWebsiteFacebookInstagramYouTubeTwitter

He also unpacks why vulnerability management can stall business and how design thinking can reshape threat intel.

Steven Soderbergh's new BLACK BAG is a spy thriller, sure, but it's also the story of a marriage, and watching its sophisticated central couple banter their way through a sprawling mystery, it's hard not to be reminded of one of cinema's most enduring and endearing crime-solving couples, Nick and Nora Charles. So this week we're going back to their film debut, 1934's THE THIN MAN, to see how W.S. Van Dyke's (barely) pre-Code crime caper balances the effervescent charm of its hard-drinking stars against the plot mechanics of a murder mystery, and whether any of the film's many supporting players ever manage to steal the spotlight from Nick, Nora, and their disobedient dog Asta. Then in Feedback, a listener writes in with a notable omission from our recent discussion of STARSHIP TROOPERS. Please share your thoughts about THE THIN MAN, BLACK BAG, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

Bong Joon Ho's new MICKEY 17 takes a lot of big swings, from star Robert Pattinson's vocal affectation to a comedic fixation on “sauce,” all of it in service of big, bold, arguably blunt satire. It all makes for a somewhat messy but highly discussable film, both on its own and in conversation with Paul Verhoeven's STARSHIP TROOPERS, another big swing of a sci-fi satire that aims to entertain as it undermines propagandistic societies where leaders rule by catchphrase, where citizenship is conditional, and where working-class lives are expendable. We dive into all of that, plus space bugs that may not actually be bugs, then offer a Your Next Picture Show recommendation for another MICKEY 17 pairing contender, Duncan Jones' MOON. Please share your thoughts about STARSHIP TROOPERS, MICKEY 17, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

On this week's episode, Cody enthusiastically shares with Joe the latest adaptation of the iconic science fiction film Starship Troopers, which has been reimagined by the talented writer and director Neil Blomkamp. Blomkamp, known for his unique visual storytelling and thought-provoking narratives, brings a fresh perspective to the beloved source material. Cody delves into the specifics of this adaptation, discussing how it aims to capture the essence of the original while introducing new elements that resonate with contemporary audiences. He highlights the innovative special effects and the thought-provoking themes that Blomkamp is renowned for, creating anticipation for fans of the genre.Transitioning to another popular franchise, Joe informs Cody about the remarkable success of the Halo TV series, which has gained a significant following on Netflix, particularly outside the United States. This unexpected popularity sparks a discussion about the global appeal of video game adaptations and how they are finding new audiences in international markets. Joe expresses his surprise at the show's reception, considering the mixed reviews it initially received, and they both ponder what factors contributed to its rise in popularity, such as engaging storytelling and strong character development.As the conversation shifts, Cody provides a detailed breakdown of the rumors circulating after the shocking death of a major character in the first episode of Daredevil: Born Again. The unexpected twist has left fans reeling, and Cody explores the implications it may have on the storyline and character arcs moving forward. Joe listens intently, sharing his own theories and speculating about how this bold creative choice might impact the series' reception and its connection to the broader Marvel Cinematic Universe.Joe then expresses his disbelief that The Minecraft Movie hasn't already been released in theaters, given the immense popularity of the game. He reflects on the potential for such a film to either soar to great heights or crash and burn at the box office, considering the challenges of adapting a game with such a loose narrative structure. This leads to a broader discussion about the risks associated with video game adaptations and the expectations that come with them.Continuing along the theme of adaptations, the conversation turns to Disney's apparent lack of confidence in the upcoming live-action remake of Snow White. Cody and Joe analyze the marketing strategies employed by Disney and how they reflect the company's faith in their projects. They discuss the mixed reactions from fans and critics alike, particularly regarding the casting choices and the changes made to the beloved story, which have sparked significant debate within the community.This naturally leads to a conversation about the backlash surrounding other live-action remakes, focusing on the new Lilo & Stitch film. Joe expresses his frustration at the vocal complaints from fans regarding changes made to characters and storylines in these adaptations. The duo examines the balance between honoring the original material and updating it for modern audiences, pondering whether filmmakers should prioritize nostalgia or innovation when reimagining classic tales.As they continue to reminisce about cinematic history, Joe recounts the notorious disaster that was the live-action Super Mario Bros. movie from 1993. With its convoluted plot and stark departure from the source material, the film has become a cautionary tale for future adaptations. Cody and Joe dissect what went wrong with this film, reflecting on how it has impacted the perception of video game movies ever since and what lessons can be learned from its failures.Finally, the discussion takes a fascinating turn as they dive deep into the works of David Cronenberg, exploring his distinctive filmmaking style and the themes that permeate his body of work. They analyze how Cronenberg's films often blur the lines between horror and science fiction, delving into the human psyche and the complexities of identity. This exploration reveals their admiration for Cronenberg's ability to challenge audiences and provoke thought through his provocative storytelling.Official Website: https://www.comesnaturallypodcast.comOfficial Merchandise: https://shop.spreadshirt.com/comes-naturally-podcast/iTunes: http://tinyurl.com/kqkgackFacebook: http://tinyurl.com/myovgm8Tumblr: http://tinyurl.com/m7a6mg9Twitter: @ComesNaturalPodYouTube: http://tiny.cc/5snxpy

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesLast week, during an interview with Brazilian pop culture and media YouTube outlet, Omelete, to promote their new film, The Electric State, Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars directors, Joe and Anthony Russo offered insights on how the upcoming pair Avengers of films differ from their previous multi-phase, saga-concluders: Infinity War and Endgame; describing the duology as a “new beginning.” Joe Russo went on to reiterate the real motivation for the creative duo returning to the franchise after leaving on an all-time high more than 5 years ago. In a double dose of DC casting news, sitcom vet Jason Ritter has joined the cast of Lanterns in a recurring role as Billy Macon, a ‘good-looking charmer who does his father's bidding, clings to his small-town ego and has everything to lose.' Elsewhere, The Penguin actor, Colin Farrell has entered negotiations to replace Daniel Craig as the titular sergeant of Luca Guadagnino's Word War II film, Sgt. Rock.Despite the release of several new genre films, last weekend's domestic box office was notably slow – at an approximate $54 million total, sluggish enough to earn the title of 2025's worst box office thus far.  Paramount's R-rated action comedy, Novocaine, starring Jack Quaid, took the top spot with $8.7 million, slightly below expectations. Meanwhile, Mickey 17 suffered a 60% drop in its second weekend, barely managing to stave off Steven Soderbergh's spy thriller, Black Bag, with hauls of $7.51 and $7.5 million, respectively.After more than a year of speculation, Apple TV+ has officially ordered a fourth season of its Emmy-winning comedy Ted Lasso. The pickup comes after co-creator and star Jason Sudeikis closed a deal to reprise his role as the titular character. Disney has released the first official trailer for body swap comedy reunion sequel Freakier Friday starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan. The film hits theaters on August 8th, 22 years after the original. Conan O'Brien, who hosted the 97th Oscars telecast on March 2, has agreed to return and host the 98th Oscars telecast on March 15, 2026, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced Monday. CBS has also announced that comedian Nikki Glaser will return in 2026 to host the 83rd annual Golden Globes.More than a year after Warner Bros. shelved Coyote vs. Acme for tax incentives, independent distributor Ketchup Entertainment is reportedly nearing a deal to acquire the film for around $50 million. Ketchup recently handled the theatrical release of The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie, which has earned $3.9 million since its March 14 debut.Columbia Pictures is plotting a new Starship Troopers movie, tasking District 9 filmmaker Neill Blomkamp to write and direct an adaptation of the classic sci-fi novel story by Robert A. Heinlein. The Hollywood Reporter has learned “zero progress” has been made on Saw XI since writing partners Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan turned in a draft back in spring of 2024. Speaking on the project, Melton said “The reason it's held up is just, there's inter-squabbling between producers and Lionsgate. They just can't quite get on the same page.” A24 has released the first trailer for romantic feature film Materialists starring Pedro Pascal, Chris Evans, and Dakota Johnson. The film hits theaters on June 13th. Netflix has released the first trailer for Adam Sandler-led sequel Happy Gilmore 2. The film begins streaming on July 25th. Darren Aronofsky is in talks to direct Netflix's Cujo, a remake of Stephen King's classic horror novel about a vicious St. Bernard.The project is still in early development, and sources say Aronofsky has yet to hold creative discussions with Netflix. If the deal goes through, this would be his first feature film for a streaming platform.

This week's pairing is brought to you by: space bugs! Specifically, space bugs as a metaphor for a fascistic society's disregard for any perceived-to-be-lower life form, human or otherwise. Inspired by the clear satire of Bong Joon Ho's new MICKEY 17, we're revisiting Paul Verhoeven's STARSHIP TROOPERS, whose satirical intent was less clear to some audiences when it hit theaters in 1997. Today, while we're on the same page as far as what Verhoeven was going for with his propagandistic display of military might, opinions still differ among our panel as to how well he pulled it off. We get into that disagreement, as well as the surprisingly enduring effects and the improbability of a film like this being made in Hollywood today. Then in Feedback, a listener inspired by a recent pairing shares their reaction to a first-time viewing of THE KILLING FIELDS.  Please share your thoughts about STARSHIP TROOPERS, MICKEY 17, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.
