Does it make me a terrible person that I haven’t listened to a frotcast since around number 12 or so? Not b/c I don’t want to or anything, just don’t seem to get around to it in my weekly schedule.

Goddamn. The last time there was Tonya Harding fan fiction I had a drive home that had a ballance of about 15% laughter with 85% puking in my mouth. Looking forward to tonight’s drive.

Believe it or not, Peanuts was pretty fucking funny for the first couple of years. So was BC. But neither one holds a candle to Thimble Theater.
Now get off my lawn!

Well, I’ve now lost all respect for you clueless bastiches. Starship Troopers is FUCKING AWESOME!
I guess you missed the fact that it’s a satire, not only of Heinlein’s book, but of WWII war movies that were made during the war. He intentionally cast the most vapid, Barbie Doll actors he could find as his leads. The movie flip-flops from a broad-stroke, kid’s movie tone into ultra-violence on purpose.
Jeez. I hate to be the guy who says that you don’t like it because you don’t get it, but seriously, dudes. You don’t get it. Maybe you should watch it again when you’ve grown up.
It’s a smarter, better film than Robocop. It makes Total Recall look like Starcrash.
Plus, it has Doogie Himmler, for God’s sake!

Just because it was intended doesn’t mean it was… good. Though maybe you’re right. I should see it again with the benefit of adulthood.

Oh man, I had to touch on this as well. About an hour in, the dude on the phone says how Starship Troopers looks like its shot like a kids’ film and then someone’s head gets blown off made me instantly remember something. When I was a senior in high school and I didn’t have a full day of class, when I would leave early, my buddies who weren’t seniors and liked to cut to school would come over to my house to chill and smoke (parents were both working). We were watching Starship Troopers and the part where the dude’s head gets blown off my buddy was like “Whoa Whoa WHOA!!!” Rewind that!! I gotta see that again!” So I replay it like 3-4 times and my other friend is like “Whats so great about it?” and my ecstatic friend says “It’s like, the movie is all normal and people are joking and it’s all lighthearted and fun and then suddenly this dude’s head explodes and it’s all gory!!”. Man, Veerhoven MUST’VE been going for that when he edited the film lol.
Oh, and if there’s any other film that gets too much praise and is WAY too overrated, it’s Scarface. Boondock Saints comes in a close second. With time Avatar will be added to the list but right now I’m curious if time will show people that the movie sucks and they realize that, or if over the years it gets the same “Scarface status” on the overrated scale.

Alright, one last comment I swear. Hearing you guys talk about all the crappy rock/nu-metal circa 1999-2003 was great. God that music was beyond awful. I was hoping you’d get Creed in there and Scott Stapp’s LOVELY way of “singing”. The one thing that sticks out to me wasn’t the harder rock stuff, but the whiney teen angst punk rock stuff, and the rise of emo music and all that shit. My best friend at the time used to listen to Blink 182 all the fucking time and I HATED it. I simply did not get it at all. And when I look back on it and compare it to that same teen angst rock of today I think “Christ, this shit didn’t appeal to me when I was actually IN the age demographic that the studio execs push this shit out to”.
Oh and considering this is a movie podcast, I was hoping one of you guys would mention how that song “Click-click-pull!!” was used in every, and I mean EVERY goddamn movie trailer from 2000-2002.

I fell asleep while listening to this late at night and somehow was inceptioned into thinking that the frotcast and I were building a boat in the jungle, and I had lost all my clothes due to “space madness”. And when we finished the boat, you guys were walking away and Vince said “next time lets build something harder” and I got up and yelled “like this dick?” while doing the Triple H “suck it” move. The dream ended abruptly after that due to Brendan’s loud sex yelling, which scared the living shit out of me.
Long story short, never fall asleep listening to the Frotcast…

So funny that people think they have some kind of “inside” understanding of Starship Troopers. A guy’s head exploding isn’t some subversive twist that makes some complex social commentary that only the truly enlightened can comprehend. Hard to watch is hard to watch, end of story. If the director is going for satire, simply changing the tone from shit to crap is hardly a laudable device. The few attempts at humor are base and mid-brow at best, in the “satire” spectrum and do little to raise the entertainment level of this not even so-bad-it’s-good piece of feces. Don’t watch it again, Vince; it’s 90 minutes of your life you’ll waste trying to find something that you already knew wasn’t there!
