- TV & Film
We're doing our part and are FINALLY bringing you a new episode! It has been over 20 years since Paul Verhoeven's big budget sci-fi action film Starship Troopers hit theaters. Back in 1997, it was both panned by critics and ignored by audiences. But, over the past few decades, public perception around the film has shifted. What was initially viewed as a shallow gore-fest targeted at teenage boys is now considered by many critics to be a strong work of satire intentionally created to mock right-wing militarism. In this new age of modern authoritarianism is Starship Troopers more relevant than ever?
