Description

We talk the growing popularity of the 1997 sci-fi classic "Starship Troopers", starring Casper Van Dien, Denise Richards, Clancy Brown, Neil Patrick Harris and the great Michael Ironside. Directed by Paul Verhoeven. We talk through the plot, initial critical reaction, and box office performance. We then rate our favorite and least favorite performances, and talk about whether the satire landed or not. What explains its enduring popularity, more than 25 years later? Tune in for cult movie discussion!
