Bug out with the Seths and Sonic as they jump into a fururistic war against giant space insects against the backdrop of (fictional) militarized fascism in the 1997 classic Paul Verhoeven film, "Starship Troopers," starring Casper Van Dien and Dina Meyer, Denise Richards and Michael Ironside. Packed full of Verhoeven's signature satirical world-building TV snippets, newsreels and bizarre advertising spots, Starship Troopers is a deceptively dark take on militarism and the dangers of blind adherence to fascist ideals. Or is it? Explore the dark reaches of space with your hosts as we dodge pincers, bullets, and demented dialogue in their cinematic quest to determine this film's place (or not) in The Section.
