Our series on Paul Verhoeven in Hollywood concludes today with the film that, for all intents and purposes, got him kicked out of Hollywood. We talked about the mean-spirited Hollow Man, its special effects, and its potential for a critical reclamation. Then, we ranked the films that we have seen from Paul Verhoeven. Plus, a bonus list.

We continued our series on the Hollywood films of Paul Verhoeven today with Starship Troopers. As fierce as satire gets, Verhoeven manages to take a piece of right wing propaganda in sci-fi clothing and transform it into a sharp criticism of the American military through his mastery of tone as a director.

Sell-Out September has been fun, but it must be put out of its misery with today's episode. We talked about Robert Zemeckis’ reimagining of Birth of a Nation as a post-war jukebox musical for the boomer generation. If Griffith’s foundational, hateful text was “history written in lightning”, Gump is history written with chocolate. We also talked about The Substance, Yoshiwara, and John Williams’ Stoner on Malcolm in the Middle.

00:00 - Forrest Gump

49:20 - Malcolm in the Middle

A special emergency solo mini-podcast on the occasion of seeing Megalopolis in IMAX. I talked about retrofuturism, why it reminded me of both Godard and the prequels, an insane pre-show Q&A, and Jon Voight.

Sell-Out September continues with the highest-grossing romantic comedy of all time, Garry Marshall's Pretty Woman. It's really, really bad. We talked about the ultra-safe out of touch approach, filmmakers that could have done justice to this premise, and more.
