This weekend on the podcast guest host Davekill from the forums takes over to cover the 1997 Sci-Fi film, “Starship Troopers.” Dave does a great job covering the film with lots of great info and audio clips too. Listen to some of what he has to say about this cool movie.
Saddle up Troopers and come along this week as Dave turns over this big rock of a movie.
With help of comments from cast and crew, both characters and crawlies are reviewed.
Discover what it takes to be a citizen of the federation in this new world order and finally, the secret of the Brain Bug is revealed!
Since the original novel by Robert Heinlein, this franchise is still alive and well with two direct to DVD live action sequels and a third CGI feature ‘Invasion’ due out later next month.
Starship Troopers also spawned a short lived weekly CGI animated TV show ‘Roughnecks’ as well as CD and board games.
