We get our first KIA in this minute of the movie and its someone we haven’t known for long but that doesn’t make it feel any better. Johann and Matthew discuss a certain Harvard bound trooper who is going a little bloodlusty, the proper way to play flight sims, and the lack of polygons in the Starship Troopers video game.

A quick little view behind the curtain here at The Roughneck Minute, our Holiday greetings, and thanks to all of you listeners. We love you!

In this episode we talk about the Plasma Bugs and how they may have evolved. Matthew asks questions that won’t get answered and Johann comes up with a brilliant idea about the Plasmas. Matthew then talks about the tactical nuke and his love for the bomb. Tangents are made and we end up talking about pinball.

Johann has a bit of trouble finding words in this episode but so does Matthew so we wont hold it against them both. Johann goes into some of the movie magic and locations of the current minute and Matthew goes all fangirl over one shot in particular.

Well guys someone made a mistake. A big Gull Darn Mistake. Johann brings up the horrible robot lips of the first live action Transformers movie and Matthew gives us a little information on a certain presidential offspring. We then get into TV edits of curses in movies. Matthew’s number one is in this minute and it is not a Big Gull Darn Mistake.

We end this week with a continuation of the last minute and we follow the troopers though the atmosphere of Klendathu. Johann presses Matthew to finally watch The Orville and Matthew reads a small bit of the book.

Johann takes the helm of this episode with some awesome facts about the iconic music in this minute that also happens to be the intro to our podcast. Matthew gets giddy about another cut script scene that was in the book but never made the movie. Johann also gives us a little peak in where a certain military scientist was possibly made to end up in this scene.

Well here we are. Johann lays it all on the table about the song choice for this fight scene. Matthew has other ideas about the choice of music and various other music in movies. Johann decides on a new tattoo and Matthew checks out the weaponry on display.

This could be a We Hate Carmen Minute but it turns into more of a What The Hell Zander Minute. Johann and Matthew discuss why Zander is kind of a bad guy in this minute and why Rico is just trying to get away but Zander keeps pushing. We also have our Christmas Special where we go over our personal top 3 Christmas Movies and then go over Rotten Tomatoes Top 5 and why they were or weren’t on our list.

Welcome back to what seems to be a regular segment in this podcast; The We Hate Carmen Minute. Johann dives into body modification and lets us know that ‘getting cut’ isn’t a thing no matter how much Kitten wants it to be a thing. Matthew gets a little excited about a cut script element that mirrors the book. Johann also discovers our favorite person to hate is in this minute.
