Episode 66: Paul Verhoeven

CHUD contributor John Bernhard joins us to talk about another great action filmmaker, Paul Verhoeven. We mainly focus on his incredibly dirty film from the 70s, TURKISH DELIGHT, and then praise the satiric sci-fi sendup that is STARSHIP TROOPERS. We also touch upon his filmography later in the show.  Before that, though, we have discussions about BURKE AND HARE, as well as some of the best films of 2013 including HER, INSIDE LLEYWN DAVIS, and Patrick talks about his experience at a recent short film festival in Chicago.0:00 - 8:00 - Intro  8:00 - 8:38 - What We Watched Song 8:39 - 1:11:44 - What We Watched This Week 1:11:45 - 1:12:24 - Director Song 1:12:25 - 2:12:13 - Freeflowing Verhoeven discussion2:12:14 - 2:19:03 - Denouement In about two weeks, we will be talking with Nat Almirall again about the legendary Otto Preminger.  Please send us your top ten list by leaving us a voicemail to play on the show at 224-366-9528.
