19 - Starship Troopers: We're All Doing Our Parts!

This week we find The Rabbit Fighters talking about everybody's favorite "so bad it's good/but it's also just kinda bad" B-Movie-with-a-huge-budget action flick, Paul Verhoeven's Starship Troopers.

Is it a tongue in cheek send up of Robert Heinlein's love letter to military dictatorships?   Is it a surprisingly deep commentary on how fascist ideology dehumanizes us all?  Or is it just an excuse to showcase sex and violence?
It's got bugs, it's got boobs, it's got bullets....(Jesus H. Christ, it's got sooo many bullets.)  So come on and listen to this episode, you apes!  You wanna live forever!?
