Description: Verhoeven, who grew up under Nazi occupation, made a film about fascism so straight-faced that critics at the time accused it of the very thing it was mocking. John, Westy, and Matt continue the story as the war turns desperate.We dig into the crew behind the film — the screenplay loosely drawn from Heinlein, Basil Poledouris's score, and the Oscar-nominated creature effects — before breaking down the finale, the misunderstood reception, and the cult reappraisal that followed. Plus the hosts' final verdict and scores.Part 1 sets up the recruits and the satire — Verhoeven, the cast, the first half. Start there if you've not.Connect with ATRM: To join our fantastic community of film fans, support what we do, access our archive, listen to exclusive episodes, and a whole lot more, become an ATRM patron:⁠⁠Join the ATRM Community⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ We're available on any podcast platform:Listen on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Listen on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to our channel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠We're across all major social channels too:Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@ATRightMovies⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@allthe_rightmovies ⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our movie group⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@alltherightmovies.com⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@alltherightmovies⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠alltherightmovies.com
