Join your host Garhdo as they take a look at the 1997 film adaptation of Starship Troopers, a film that took one of the most influential science fiction stories ever made and satirized it into a parody of fascism. Unfortunately it was a satire that many missed on release, but the critical and cultural reappraisal this film has had in the 25 years since its release is fascinating, and so they are going to explore how and why it happened.
