Episode 69: Starship Troopers

On this episode of Remainders we watch the 1997 political sci-fi
movie Starship Troopers. Dismissed upon release as a generic
action movie, time has been kind to this movie about fascism and
soldier recruitment in a pro-war society. A militarized society
in the future waging war against a sub-human alien species,
Starship has gained cultural appreciation as a meta-film about
wartime propaganda. A first-time viewing for one, we’ll see if
this is a dumb, fun movie or an indictment of fascism. Or both.


Other topics include a David Lynch retrospective, the passing of
Nikky Katt, new shows we’re watching, and we ask the question: If
a movie debuts and is only on streaming, does it really exist?
