About this Episode
Our newly appointed co-producer, Martin Kessler, was recently shocked to discover that Paul Verhoeven's 1997 alien invasion film, STARSHIP TROOPERS, did not make the Sight and Sound Critics' Poll. His outrage might seem a little misplaced given STARSHIP TROOPERS' low to mediocre ratings on Rotten Tomatoes and other movie review aggregator sites. After all, this is a "Critics' Poll" we're dealing with. But Martin would not to be deterred by any silly critical consensus. He knew in his heart that the film that gave the world the immortal image of Doogie Howser in an SS uniform was, at the very least, deserving of reappraisal.
That's why, for today's episode, Martin is going to tell us why he thinks STARSHIP TROOPERS is a misunderstood classic that is worthy of entry into the Flixwise Favorite's List. But will Martin's fellow panelists, Lady P and Emma Guerard, be swayed by his arguments, or will they find them as unconvincing as Denise Richards' playing...well anything? Listen up if you want to know more...
