Two former Blockbuster employees watch Starship Troopers (1997) for the FIRST TIME! Is Paul Verhoeven's sci-fi cult classic a brilliant political satire or just attractive people fighting giant alien bugs?
Welcome to NO-VEMBER on No More Late Fees! This month, Jackie and Danielle are finally watching the '90s and 2000s movies they've somehow never seen. And we're kicking things off with one of the most controversial sci-fi films of the '90s.
Starring Casper Van Dien, Denise Richards, Dina Meyer, Neil Patrick Harris, and Jake Busey, Starship Troopers follows Johnny Rico and his fellow recruits as they enlist in an intergalactic war against giant alien insects. But beneath the explosions and bug battles is a movie packed with military propaganda, fascist imagery, and social commentary.
Is Starship Troopers a misunderstood sci-fi masterpiece or just a ridiculously violent bug movie? We're debating Carmen's career ambitions, Dizzy's relentless pursuit of Johnny, the infamous coed shower scene, and whether the film's message went completely over audiences' heads in 1997. Find out why one of us was pleasantly surprised while the other is happy to leave this one on the Blockbuster shelf.
