 Yes, it's that time. This is a much more sophisticated group this time. Is it? That's my wine that he just bummed. He literally did it. This is actually a good movie. It's a top tier movie. I mean, top tier mo- Top tier mo- Top tier mo- Top tier mo- Top tier mo- Top tier mo- They sucked his brains out. Fuck you. Doesn't have a lot more bub killing in it, though. You know what? He's fucking fantastic. It's got everything. We watched Starship Troopers for the drunk review this time around. This is directed by Paul Verhoeven, who is a master of satire and shitty showgirls movies. I don't think the movie is exactly the same, but the perception of this film has aged like a fine wine. Yeah, this movie went from being like a kind of like, oh, cool, kill the bugs kind of movie to like, holy shit, that's a complete kind of commentary about society, future society, militaristic society. We talked about this. Jeremy made a comment about this movie having aged like a fine wine. And I stand by this movie as an age. This movie is as good as it was then. It's that the audience around it realized what it was. This movie was always been a satirical masterpiece, critiquing the militarism. Fascism. Fascism, the over politicized nature of the media. Like this movie just tears all that shit to shreds in the like best way in a way that's funny, relatable, and I mean just fucking epic throughout this entire goddamn movie. I'm doing my part too. And it's got Casper Red Dean's jawline, which it does. And Dizzy's tits. Dizzy's tits. God, deal with me. The film is just so good in every single aspect. Seven out of seven review done. Yeah, almost, but we will explain a little bit further. For instance, one of the best bits about this movie is that this film was released in 1997. I could say that it looks like it was released in like the late 2000s. I aged so well. CGI is great. The Planet P scene where all the bugs come out, it reminds me of Helms D with all the orcs, and that's five years later. With a lot of money. A lot of money behind it. Well, let's put a perspective of some movies that came out in 1997. Titanic came out in the same year, but like other films that came out in 1997. Yeah, I made just a defining moment in CG history. Came out two years after this movie. I would argue this movie looks better. I think the CG has aged better. Incredibly well. And this entire movie looks better than the early movie. I mean, it doesn't help. You have seen The Starship Troopers Armor progress through other shows. Yeah, it's been used in like Firefly, it's in Firefly the train job. This film had a budget of $100 million, and it did help that the fact that no one in this movie was a big name. So they were able to put everything into the product. What do you mean? Do you have it, bro? You know, Patrick Harris is huge. And Pewch. Maybe Hauser probably would have been the most expensive pair. He's also in it for like 12 minutes. Exactly. They're able to use it on the production design and specifically the models and the CG, which some of it is just absolutely incredible. You go and look at some of the shadows and the textures. They've aged so well that some of the games, I wouldn't have expected if it hadn't been done by Ireland. It has that feel of like top tier fucking stuff. I don't know if we did the special effects in this segment. I don't actually know the details. I don't know, I actually know who we did either, but it just is done so well that you can watch this movie now and be like, wow, that looks really good. Arguably more relevant now with the way like the political society is. Talking about the idea of them, they're militaristic government society, but also they talk about fascism. Fascism, they also talk about like media and how they just like this two politicized opinionated heads yelling at each other very much so of what is current. I find the idea of a button that thinks offensive. And that was at the time because Paul Verhoeven, he, did he not grow up during? Yeah, he would have been that age. Like, he saw this shit. To stop the propaganda. Yeah, so, and that was this whole point. Would you like to know more? Exactly, so that was the whole point when he was making this movie. He was talking about that. Which it would have happened during that time. Judy G. Hauser goes from being... He looks like a baby. He looks like a little kid in the beginning of the movie. By then they shaded him out. They made him look gaunt and like hollowed out and he looks like a like full blown SS officer. And then also at that time too is when, when Rico becomes the sergeant and then they show these kids at the end of the film that look like Hitler youth. Yeah, the Rico is rough next. He is just so hard on another drink. By the way, we have actually drank and this is the first time I've been... Ah, fuck, I'm not, I'm not the only one drunk. Like Jeff and I are the only ones drunk to the drunk. Jeremy actually got drunk with us this time. So fuck, yeah. This movie's a good boy. And he didn't hit his head on an end table. So we're fucking... No breaking the conch. Breaking the conch. Fuck, he's like that. So... Paul Verhoeven's always been really critical of shit. I stand by like Robocop and the critique. Like, I mean honestly, you could release Robocop now in the age of ACAB and shit like that and it's just as relevant now. I think Starship Troopers exist in the same boat. It speaks to all the satirical, political shit, all the commentary, but it's also just a fucking blast. That's a... The only good bug is a dead bug. Thing, that's why he combines the combination of those two things which now like current cinema tries to focus a lot on the commentary side. I watched this movie when I was well like nine years old on TV. Just keep rewatching this as I age and I just see more elements to it and that's why I make the comment about a fine wine is that it literally gets better every time we watch. That's you getting better. That's you getting better, not the movie. The movie's fucking perfect. The movie's fucking perfect. And that I'm gonna say this was a great movie for a 12 year old boy to see boobs. Yeah, sure. Why not? Yes, exactly. Shower scene across the board, which for those who do not know that story about that, the actors did feel uncomfortable doing that scene. So Paul Verhoeven and the director of photography like, what if everyone feels uncomfortable doing this scene then I will also be naked with you. It doesn't make it less bad. Alright everyone, let's get started. Let's get started. But let's do this scene, alright? No, but I want to look at the fuck what it is. Ignore the boner. Let's integrate scene because I think that it's great, I think that scene defines what the world like. The world doesn't give a fuck anymore. And in all honesty, you look at 1997, we are still pretty prudish. Like the sexual awareness and awakening that happened in the mid-2000s. That didn't come to the crudeness of the 2000s. It also reminds me of just the idea of like the director putting himself in with the actors if I'm going to make a supernatural reference because I have to for this channel. The thing that I always like about Kim Manners is during that episode with Bugs, both Jensen and Jared were very uncomfortable with all those bees. He's like, alright guys. And so he came into that room wearing a t-shirt and shorts and he sat on a box in the room with all the fucking bees. He's like, alright guys, let's do it. I was in the bees episode of X-Files and they didn't give me shit but the jeans and the t-shirt. Jesus Christ. That idea of the actor, like the director just getting into the scene with the actors and just being a part of it, kind of like humanizing the whole thing. I hope Lars Montrair didn't do that for Nymphomaniac. Yeah, let's not do that. Okay, let's not do that. I took a deep breath. Sure, you could say maybe the acting's a little bit cheesy because Casper Van Dean is not exactly the great man. He's got some great moments, man. I stand by it. You see the ace of spades. But he also has some bad ones but that's the idea though. The whole point is that these guys aren't big actors. I do have to bring up that they do have you know, my son. Fucking Mr. Krabs. Mr. Krabs. The enemy cannot push a button if you disable his hand. Michael Ironside and I can't remember his name, Mr. Krabs. Clancy Yates. No, Clancy Brown. There we go. These two guys are the best actors in this whole movie to be honest. And NPH. Yeah, sure. Why not? We all love NPH. We all love NPH but who do we quote more? Everyone fights. No one quits. You don't do your job. I'll shoot you. Quote Ray Jack. Yeah. Which by the way... Rad Jack. Jesus. It's so hard because I just know Ray Zach. Like it's very confusing of where that came from. Was it coming from the TV show? Which by the way, I still own and I just recently rewatched it and while the CG is boof as through a few bits of it Fuck that man, I still watch Beast Machines. The sequels were weird. Technically speaking, in the concept of what a drunk review is we should not be reviewing this movie. We should be reviewing the sequels. The second or the third film because both of them are fucking garbage. I like the third one. They sucked his brains out. The second one is truly fucking terrible. The third one is in fact the one that really started me talking about movies. Because if all of y'all want to go back to me going on this random ass rant talking about how bad all those really awful parody movies I compared Starship Troopers 3 to Disaster Movie Epic Movie Date Movie That's when I thought that movie was shit. This movie, not at fucking all. Sorry, gents. In your reviews of my rent. Yeah, Jesus fuck dude. Sarah, we have brand new people in New York. We have brand new people in New York. So we read the score. We rate this out of 7. I thought you said you watched all the reviews. I thought she was a fan. You subscribed yet? Okay Mark, what is your rating? Hang on, I'm gonna take a bit. I'm gonna say it's a 6. This movie would be a 7. I fucking love this movie. But I bitched about it when we were watching it. There's a storyline that gets brought up in this movie that never gets talked about again. It's on Planet P who's like losing his fucking mind. We're gonna die! They talked about him getting into his mind and they made him do things. They got into his mind. They make you do things. Do the bugs have a way to like possess people or like control them in some way? They wanna know us so they can kill them. And they kinda hint at it a whole bunch and it never fucking happens until the sequel which I think is even more of an indictment on this movie for not doing it because this fucking second movie sucks so bad. I have one. Is there a lot of takes on it? More than this one? There's a lot of things. P.G. P.G. What about if this is fucking P.G.? Yeah, it's a 6. It's a 6 out of 7. I fucking love this movie. It's great. It's spectacular. It does almost everything it does in the best way possible. Paul Verhoeven. I'm a huge fan of his. The movies he makes, the way he does things, the critiques he creates. It's awesome and I love that a lot of people didn't get to hear what this movie was for years. I saw this movie in theaters at 12. He kind of explained it to me. I had already read the book. It did it right. I know that there's like a whole thing of Robert A. Heinlein apparently not liking this book or his family as a state or whatever, didn't like it. Well, he was a grumpy old, kind of slightly prejudiced, racist, bigoted man. That comes from the 50s. I just disagree with hating this movie for that stuff because I think it did criticize the militaristic compound. It did criticize fascist politics. And again, it's more relevant now than ever before. And this movie is fucking solid. It just didn't give me my fucking brain bug properly, so it gets a fucking six. Alright, Jeff. Six and seven. It's probably in my top 30 all-time David films. Timeless and it inspired as we said, Halo stuff. Yeah, we didn't talk about all the inspiration shit this day. The whole sci-fi stuff afterwards and flooded props into a lot of Vancouver films. How cool. All over films. All over film. But Vancouver, we saw some of it. But yeah, like there's a lot of props left over from it. And yeah, like the sequels, they generated a franchise. It's a great film. It's not the best film out there, but for its time, it's timeless and it's great. So I'm a bit of a weird gager on this because I saw the last 10 minutes now. She came super late. I saw the whole thing 10 years ago. I'm going to be very bold. I think it's a perfect movie for what it is. Seven out of seven. She got here after the whole brain bug thing. Yes, okay, but you know what? What I'm going to say. Film is a product of its time and I think it did what it needed to do perfectly and it has stayed with us and of course you can critique little bits and pieces. It is full zeitgeist. We all quote it. I literally got a job because I quoted the guy in the interview. He was like, well, maybe we'll bring you on for a bit and I'm like, I'll take it until I get killed or you find someone better. I was like, did you just quote Starship Cooper? I was like, yes, he got the job. I liked the way that the female characters were portrayed. Yes, there's sex. Yes, there's sex. This is a fucking badass. The female characters kick ass. They don't even care to take names. They're just fucking doing their job. There's definitely an equality sexually in this movie. No, that's exactly why I actually, that's another layer about this movie that I like. That's a thing that I, re-watching this I couldn't change a thing and I actually will agree with her. I actually will also give this a seven. Oh wow, Jerry gets to draw a seven. That's his first seven. Well, for these ones, every time I watch this movie I get a more layer out of it every time. Not only just in terms of just the political satire, but also it's a fun movie to watch. It's very quotable. You're it until you're dead. But while I find somebody better. You smash the entire area. You kill anything that has more to let. You get me? We get you, son. Brain bugs, frankly, I find the idea of a bug that thinks offensive. We're literally quoting it during the entire time. It's something that now has become more of an aspect in terms of how the film has now but this one's just like, you know, she fights Zen and she gets knocked out, of course. I was gonna say, Zen also broke the arm and handled. He took an idea from a book that he admittedly hated. He read the first page and was like, fuck this shit. I mean it is a boring book. Sometimes when you watch a film over time you can see the cracks and whatnot and sure we saw a few but truly speaking, truly speaking this film has not This film gets better every fucking time I watch it. It's also one of two movies in 1997 where a main character dies and says don't let go and then the character holding them immediately lets go right afterwards. Speaking of yes, so yeah this movie has a 7 for me. It's one of my personal favorite films. I enjoy it immensely every time I watch it. Aside from Jason Goes Manhattan which is a superior film in the Friday of the 13th Oh shut the fuck up They sucked his brains out This is one of the few times that I have how raiding overmarked because I am better at this. Honestly they cut that shit out. It would get a 7 again. The end of the movie, Xander gets the fucking brain bug of the thing. I stand by the way they built the antagonist relationship between Xander and Rico. It would have been so much cooler if at the end of that movie the brain bug controlled Xander and Rico and Xander had to fight instead of him just dying like a bitch. Although his speech right before he gets a word of the dignificate He's gonna kill you and your whole fucking race. It's great. And then good luck. He spits all over I won't do that because that is our review for Starship Troopers. The first time in our drug reviews that we've actually watched a very very good movie. It's probably will not happen again. Not true. But either way guys I hope you enjoyed this review. Like what do you guys think about Starship? Do you guys feel the same way we do? Have you feel that the film is aged as we think? In terms of not just how audiences perceive it What do you guys think? Do you like this movie? Do you not? Tell us in the comments below. Aside from that I'm gonna have something else that tastes weird and until then we'll see you guys next time. That really sounds weird. Patreon subscriber Mark Wilmot He's in here. He pays me.
