Dissecting Starship Troopers, with Elden Ring Anticipation and Entertainment News ep193

from Entertain This! · host Hayden, Mitch, and Tom

Send us Fan MailEmbark on an electrifying trek through the satirical depths of "Starship Troopers," a film that's so much more than its 1997 bug-squashing façade. Tom and I dissect the dystopian world where citizenship is earned through military service, and propaganda infomercials are as common as morning coffee. Tune in as we peel back the layers of this controversial cinematic piece, discussing everything from its Nazi imagery and the all-American casting to the philosophical musings imparted by Michael Ironside's character. Our chat isn't complete without a side story about our globe-trotting correspondent and his latest tattoo misadventure, blending humor with our critique of this cult classic's bold narrative choices.Switching gears, the intense world of "Sicario" sequel awaits, where we navigate darker waters without the moral anchor of Emily Blunt's character from the first film. The sequel thrusts us into a realm where Josh Brolin and Benicio del Toro steer the ship through chilling interrogation scenes, murky cartel operations, and a heavier emphasis on the gray areas of morality. We debate the nuanced storytelling and the interweaving of characters' lives, while also taking a side trip into the gaming universe with anticipations for "Elden Ring" DLC and the camaraderie found in multiplayer games. Wrapping up with the latest buzz from the entertainment front, we ponder the potential of '90s cartoon revivals and Henry Cavill's mysterious role in the MCU. From Alan Richson’s comedic escapades to the prospect of the next "Call of Duty" on Game Pass, we cover the spectrum of entertainment curiosities. Plus, we eagerly await your film suggestions, bad or good—we're ready to tackle them with the same enthusiasm we bring to each episode. Join us for this wild ride of film reviews, gaming hype, and the latest industry news.Support the show

The Last Outlaws Impact Studios at UTS In a History Lab season like no other, we're pulling on the threads of one of Australia's great misunderstood histories, moving beyond the myths to learn what the Aboriginal brothers Jimmy and Joe Governor faced in both life and death.Australia's budding Federation is the background setting to this remarkable story, that sees the Governor brothers tied to the inauguration of a 'new' nation and Australia's dark history of frontier violence, racial injustice and the global trade and defilement of Aboriginal ancestral remains. This Impact Studios production is a collaboration with the Governor family, UTS Faculty of Law and Jumbunna Institute for Indigenous Education and Research.The Last Outlaws teamKatherine Biber - UTS Law Professor and Chief InvestigatorAunty Loretta Parsley - Great-granddaughter of Jimmy Governor and the Governor Family Historian Leroy Parsons - Governor descendant, Narrator and Co-WriterKaitlyn Sawrey - Host, Writer and Senior ProducerFrank Lopez - Writer, Managing Next Generation Energy Systems Cambridge University Background Stakeholders working with energy systems have to make complex decisions formulated from risk-based assessments about the future. The move towards more renewables in our energy systems complicates matters even further, requiring the development of an integrated power grid and continuous and steady transformation of the UK power system. Network flows must be managed reliably under uncertain demands, uncertain supply, emerging network technologies and possible failures and, further, prices in related markets can be highly volatile. Mathematicians working with engineers and economists, can make significant contributions to address such issues, by helping to develop fit-for-purpose models for next generation energy systems. These interdisciplinary approaches are looking to address a range of associated problems, including modelling, prediction, simulation, control, market and mechanism design and optimisation.
