Ep 96: STARSHIP TROOPERS

from The Takes It Took: A Movie Podcast · host The Takes It Took

Gather around, all you citizens and civilians, because we've got a brand new episode about people fighting bugs in space! That's right, today Miles is taking us through the making of Starship Troopers. From what was once considered an extremely pro-fascist piece of literature from the 1950s, Paul Verhoeven and crew turned this story into the classic campy sci-fi adventure we know today. If you like crusty CGI and practical effects, dig into this episode like the Brain Bug pincer into human brains.Want to support our show?
