Podcasts about Verhoeven

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. Heinlein wrote a series of books under contract to Scribners that were aumed at younger readers, pre-teen and teen. Today we would call them Young Adult, but back then they were called Juveniles. But even an adult reader can enjoy many of these books. Because they were aimed at younger readers, he could not always be as explicit as he might have liked, but if you pay attention you just might noticed he slipped in something subversive. Heinlein: The Juveniles As a boy I read voraciously. I remember my mother organizing weekly trips to the town library, where I would load up on books, and I quickly became focused on Science Fiction, along with the usual stuff kids read, like the Hardy Boys, Tom Swift, and the Walter Farley horse books. But the idea of going into space grabbed me very early. And one of the first authors I read was Heinlein. He had taken a leave from publishing during World War II, when he was doing research at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. But when the war was over, he set out to move beyond the “pulps” and expand the market for his stories. And one big market for him was what were called “juveniles” at the time, and would today be called “Young Adult”. I was reading adult fiction by the time I was 11 or 12, but before that (and even after that, in fact) I read these Heinlein novels with great relish. Heinlein's target audience for these novels was teenage boys. He did a few stories aimed at girls, but mostly he wrote for boys. And these were mostly “coming of age” stories where the teenage protagonist has adventures, and as a result grows and develops. They are very loosely related via some internal references, but should really be thought of as stand-alone stories. They also in some cases have references to his other stories, including the Future history stories. He wrote 13 of these novels, one per year, from 1947 to 1959. The series was published by Scribners until the last one was rejected by them. Heinlein then published it with a different publisher, and stopped writing these novels altogether in favor of more adult fiction. The novels roughly form a progression telling the story of space exploration. It starts with a trip to the Moon, then Venus, Mars, Jupiter's moon, and so on until we reach the Lesser Magellanic Cloud. Rocket Ship Galileo (1947) – While readable, this initial effort was not up to Heinlein's later standards. The plot concerns three teenagers who assist an uncle to build a rocket ship and go to the Moon. When they get there they discover Nazis have already arrived. The Nazis try to kill the group, but they succeed in turning the tables, stealing the Nazi ship, and returning to Earth as heroes. This novel became the basis (loosely) for the movie Destination Moon (1950), and I personally would consider the movie to be superior to the novel. It is also worth noting that the theory brought up in Blowups Happen reappears in this novel. They find evidence of an ancient Lunar civilization that was destroyed, and theorize that the craters on the moon were caused by the explosion of nuclear reactors that caused the extinction of the civilization. Space Cadet (1948) – This was in part the inspiration for the Tom Corbett franchise, which licensed the name Space Cadet from Heinlein. It is about a young man who is accepted to the Academy for the Space Patrol. It follows him through his education in the Academy, and then into his first mission after graduating. This holds up better than the previous novel. And it is tied back to the story The Long Watch from the Future History. Part of the story takes place on an inhabited Venus that is cloudy and swampy. Red Planet (1949) – This is set on Mars, as it is also portrayed in Stranger In A Strange Land (1961). Mars is inhabited by native Martians, but also by human colonists. It has the canals, and with seasonal changes the colonists migrate from north to south and back. A pair of teenage boys get caught up in a revolution when the evil corporation that controls the colony pushes the colonists too far. In the end you wish there really were canals and Martians. Farmer In The Sky (1950) – This is one of the best, as seen by the Retro Hugo this novel won in 2000. Jupiter's moon Ganymede is being terraformed because Earth is overcrowded and food is rationed. A teenage boy and his family emigrate to Ganymede and try to make a life there, which they eventually succeed in doing. The Green Hills of Earth is mentioned here, tying this into the future History. There are frequent references to the Boy Scouts, due to the fact that the story ran as a serial in Boy's Life magazine. Between Planets (1951) – A teenage boy is caught up in interplanetary intrigue. Venus and Mars have colonies, but Earth is trying to control them too much. So revolution is on the menu. This is clearly patterned in the colonial wars of the 18th and 19th centuries, such as the American Revolution against England. By this point the so-called “Juveniles” are really having more adult content, and reviewers re starting to rate them in comparison with adult science fiction. This novel was also first serialized in Boy's Life magazine. The Rolling Stones (1952) – Here we have teenage twin boys, Castor and Pollux, as the protagonists. They and their family live on the Moon, but decide to travel, so this novel is a kind of travelogue as they go to Mars, then to the Asteroid belt. The grandmother, Hazel Stone, appears in Heinlein's later works as well. One interesting episode in this story involves “martian flat cats”, which are furry, lovable, and reproduce like mad with the right conditions. If this sound like Star Trek's Tribbles, that is also what the Star Trek producers thought, so they got permission from Heinlein to use the idea. Starman Jones (1953) – We are now further into the future, and the human race is exploring the stars. Unfortunately, very restrictive guilds closely control who can participate in this. A teenage boy named Max, who happens to have an eidetic memory, has memorized the Astrogation tables from his uncle's books, and wants to join the Guild, but is turned down. He lies his way onboard a ship, and through a series of events becomes the only one who can guide the ship home. The Star Beast (1954) – A teenage boy has an alien “pet” his great-grandfather had brought back that has grown very large, and is considered a nuisance. A court decides the beast must be killed, but that proves easier to say than to do. It appears that the beast isn't even aware that people are trying to kill it. Meanwhile, a powerful and hitherto unknown alien species demand the return of one of their own, or they will destroy the Earth. Of course, it is this beast, who is actually royalty to the alien species. One interesting point is that government officials in this story are portrayed sympathetically as intelligent and dedicated. Tunnel In The Sky (1955) – In the future humanity is colonizing other planets, and a group of teenagers are taking their final survival test. They are sent to a planet and told that they have to survive for 10 days, But more than 10 days go by with no pickup, and they know something went wrong. So they have to establish their own little society to keep surviving. An interesting note is that the protagonist, Rod Walker, is black. It was never explicitly stated in the text, but Heinlein was firm in stating this. The clue is when the others expect Rod to end up with Caroline, who is explicitly stated to be black. This was Heinlein being subtly subversive. To have a black protagonist for a boy's story in 1955 in America would be impossible. but Heinlein was completely anti-racist, among other things. Time For The Stars (1956) – This is a novel that takes Relativity seriously, which was not common in the 1950s. Researchers have discovered that some twins and triplets can communicate telepathically (and instantaneously), and so when a group of ships is sent out to explore other star systems, one twin is on the ship and the other remains on Earth to provide communication. The twin on Earth ages must faster than the one in space, of course, and eventually the Earth twin dies, But they discover that the connection sometimes passes down through the family, so the protagonist, Tom Bartlett, becomes connected first to his niece, then his grandniece, and finally his great-grandniece. Citizen of the Galaxy (1957) – This book is about a future slave trade, which Heinlein strongly hated. The protagonist is a boy who is bought at a slave auction by an old beggar, but the beggar is more than he seems. He is actually spying and gathering data regarding the slave trade. When discovered, he commits suicide, but he had prepared the young boy, Thorby, who then contacts the Free Traders who spirit him away. He has to adapt to this new society, but then is delivered to the Hegemonic Guard. It turns out his “father” (i.e. the man who bought him) was an officer in this organization. And when they run the background checks, they discover that he is the heir to a large conglomerate, and that conglomerate may be implicated in the slave trade. Have Space Suit—Will Travel (1958) – Clifford “Kip” Russell dreams of going to the Moon, and enters a contest with that as the top prize. Unfortunately, he wins the somewhat lesser prize of a used spacesuit. The first few chapters focus on him doing repairs and maintenance to make it functional again, and this displays Heinlein's engineering background. It is more engaging than you might think. Then while wearing the spacesuit he receives a radio message, and he is kidnapped along with an alien called “The Mother Thing” and a young girl who is a genius. The kidnappers are a group of aliens who consider anyone not of their race to be animals. The trio first try to escape on the Moon, but are recaptured, then taken to Pluto, where they succeed in killing the alien kidnappers. Then they are taken to the Lesser Magellanic Cloud to be put on trial to determine if the human race should be allowed to live. Starship Troopers (1959) – This is the novel that Scribners rejected, and which brought the Juvenile series to an end. And it bears absolutely no resemblance at all to the movie, to the point that for Heinlein fans the word Verhoeven is considered an obscenity. A young man, Juan “Johnny” Rico joins the military, where he has to grow up and then take part in a war against an insectoid race, but that is all background really. The book is primarily a glorification of military service, which is not surprising given Heinlein's background. And it focuses on a series of discussions under the heading of “History and Moral Philosophy”, which lets Heinlein expound on his values and beliefs. The novel won a Hugo, but it is an add one given that the plot is secondary to the philosophizing. One of the most controversial ideas is that in this society the right to vote is limited to people who have been in Federal Service. Heinlein said this didn't have to be military, but the only ones we see are in fact military veterans. So, these are the Heinlein Juveniles. In my opinion, many of them are quite good reading for adults. The thing that separates them from adult novels in Heinlein's body of work is the lack of any sex element. That would become prominent in Heinlein's later adult novels, but it was not something you could put in a book aimed at teenagers, certainly not in the 1950s, and arguably the case today as well.

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?

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 ...

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.

The heavyweight division just got more interesting, Naoya Inoue is the undisputed No. 1 fighter on the planet, and two sanctioning bodies just formed the first defensive alliance in boxing history. It's been that kind of week.On this episode , we break down everything that matters. Frank Sanchez stops Richard Torrez Jr. in two rounds at the Pyramids of Giza — a perfectly scouted counter right uppercut, a carefully managed prospect exposed at the first serious test of his career, and an IBF mandatory shot at Usyk now on the table. We get into Inoue's unanimous decision over Nakatani at the Tokyo Dome — 55,000 in attendance, two unbeaten fighters, and a result that moved Inoue to No. 1 on every major pound-for-pound list simultaneously for the first time in his career.Then we cover the fight the weekly package was built around: the WBO and IBF announcing a formal alliance against Zuffa Boxing — the first time two major sanctioning bodies have coordinated against a single promoter, and what it signals about where the sport's power structure is heading. Plus Benavidez TKO6 Zurdo — three-weight world champion, Canelo manufacturing excuses in real time, and the Bivol fight that the rankings now demand. Usyk's controversial R11 stoppage of Verhoeven, the scorecards that made it genuinely complicated, and why the Joshua fight now has real questions attached to it.We close out previewing next week — we'll be on the ground at the International Boxing Hall of Fame induction weekend in Canastota, New York. Full coverage, ringside access, and the conversations you don't get anywhere else.The Corner. For the people who already know.

El programa destaca la excelente forma del Barcelona, que muestra una notable recuperación, y anticipa un partido de fútbol muy interesante. Se analiza el combate de boxeo entre Usyk y Rico Verhoeven. Usyk, invicto, se enfrenta a un oponente sorprendentemente fuerte que casi lo noquea. Verhoeven, pese a la derrota, obtiene gran mérito por su actuación, desafiando las expectativas. Además, se explora el cine analógico de 70 milímetros con David Pereira, quien inaugura una sala en Madrid.

Vinnie holds it down solo while his co-hosts sit this one out in lieu of other shenanigans. He runs through a loaded boxing news cycle — Lomachenko's retirement reversal, Canelo's next move, the Wardley-Dubois rematch situation, and more — before breaking down the main event everyone's been arguing about: Usyk vs. Verhoeven at the Pyramids in Giza. Was Rico closer than anyone expected, or did the crowd and the rounds fool people? Vinnie's got a take.He also weighs in on Frank Sanchez packing up Richard Torres (told you so), Hamza Shiraz's breakout belt win, and previews a deceptively busy weekend headlined by Bevo's return and O'Shay Foster vs. Raymond Ford for the WBC 130 title — a fight Vinnie's not exactly hyped for, but picks anyway.

Was it legacy-defining brilliance or outright robbery? The BRUTAL truth about Oleksandr Usyk vs Rico Verhoeven goes deeper than the scorecards into ego, pressure, respect, and the moments that can haunt fighters forever. Fans are divided, accusations are flying, and one question refuses to die: was this a hard-earned victory… or a decision that changed everything? This is the ugly truth behind the controversy, the fallout, and what this fight could mean for legacy.

Last night's main event had all the ingredients of a defining moment—but instead, it left us debating the referee. As Rico Verhoeven pushed himself against the elite pedigree of Oleksandr Usyk, the fight was hanging in the balance. He was under pressure, no doubt, but still on his feet and within touching distance of the bell. And that's where the controversy begins. Should the referee have stepped in when he did? Or should Verhoeven have been given the chance to make it back to his stool and reset? In combat sports, referees walk a tightrope between protecting fighters and allowing contests to reach a natural conclusion. Get it wrong, and the story shifts, from the athletes in the ring to the official in charge.
