One Track Mind with Ryan Luis Rodriguez - UNLOCKED PATREON EPISODE: Starship Troopers

UNLOCKED PATREON EPISODE: Starship Troopers

03/01/22 • 25 min

Sometimes life gets in the way of podcasting, so new episodes will be on hiatus for a month while we explore episodes that can be found behind the official Coolness Chronicles Patreon paywall. (New episodes of The Shirley Chronicles return next week.)
Lastly, we Reconsider a RiffTrax title, and it's a doozy!

Is there a more misunderstood film in recent memory than Paul Verhoeven's "Starship Troopers"? Don't answer, it's rhetorical.
We will place the 1997 film in the context of Verhoeven's oeuvre, quote actual reviews that missed the forest for the trees, discuss the right-wing jingoism of Robert Heinlein, offer theories for why Denise Richards is playing a native resident of Argentina, and listen to Verhoeven scream like a lunatic on the film's audio commentary. Would you like to know more?

UNLOCKED PATREON EPISODE: Blue Sunshine

Sometimes life gets in the way of podcasting, so new episodes will be on hiatus for a month while we explore episodes that can be found behind the official Coolness Chronicles Patreon paywall, like this little morsel.
It's not every day your wonky yet affable host talks about a movie he loves. Seriously. We talk about a lot of bad movies.

But today, it's Jeff Lieberman's amazing, bizarre, unforgettable follow-up to "Squirm", a paranoid political thriller literally on drugs, "Blue Sunshine".

Next Episode

Big Business/Ghost/Welcome Home, Roxy Carmichael

After sailing through '80s horror parodies and Albert Brooks's filmography, it's only right that we return to Z-A-Z territory, so this week we're tackling the first solo directorial efforts from Jim Abrahams and Jerry Zucker: 1988's "Big Business" and 1990's "Ghost" and "Welcome Home, Roxy Carmichael". You've heard of at least one of these. It's "Big Business" obviously.
It's a tale that involves sensual pottery, Lily Tomlin times two, unexpected Academy Awards, and a quirky young girl named Dinky. Really.
Join your wonky yet affable host!
