This episode was recorded on the afternoon of Friday, 19th October from Showroom 5 of the Showroom Cinema in Sheffield. We are using Shure microphones as opposed to our usual condenser mics so apologies for any weird sound anomalies, plosives or whatever.
Episode 26 sees Andy and Mitch LITERALLY joined by André Gower, fellow podcaster, star of Fred Dekker's 1987 cult classic, The Monster Squad and, now, director of the definitive documentary on the film, Wolfman's Got Nards, as they put their heads together over drinks and with an audience at Celluloid Screams!
His chosen film? Starship Troopers!
Following the success of Basic Instinct and the critical and financial failure of Showgirls, director Paul Verhoeven returned to form with his satiric bug-stomping space saga, Starship Troopers! However, it's fair to say that the reception at the tiime was less than kind.
Hammered by critics and barely recouping it's $100 million budget, Starship Troopers is only now finding the love it deserves. But does it? Watch it for yourself!
Ultra-violent and actio-packed, the film features an all-star cast including Casper Van Dien, Denise Richards, Dina Meyer, Michael Ironside and Jake Busey.
The synopsis is as follows:
In the distant future, the Earth is at war with a race of giant alien insects. Little is known about the Bugs except that they are intent on the eradication of all human life. But there was a time before the war... A Mobile Infantry travels to distant alien planets to take the war to the Bugs. They are a ruthless enemy with only one mission: Survival of their species no matter what the cost...
ALSO, we have a LIVE installment of MITCH'S PITCHES!
Due to his well documented ignorance towards films, Mitch is shown a film poster with all titles, taglines etc removed and tasked with attempting to decipher the plot. Will it go well? The poster image can be seen below with the image that Mitch was working from on the left...
Once again, just massive thanks to Andre for taking the time to join us, to Rob, Polly and the team at Celluloid Screams for putting us on, to the guys at Arrow Video for sorting us out with goodies to give away and, of course, to the audience who joined us.
