Heinlein&amp;apos;s classic Sci-Fi adventure, STARSHIP TROOPERS.&lt;br/&gt;----&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ever wondered how childhood memories and sci-fi classics intertwine? Join us as Rob and I recall our early days spent crafting Lego models inspired by the legendary &amp;quot;Starship Troopers&amp;quot; arachnids. From my nostalgic journey with the Columbia House movie deal to Rob&amp;apos;s fascination with the film&amp;apos;s thrilling trailers, we share personal anecdotes that highlight our deep-rooted love for this cinematic gem. Get ready to relive the excitement of enlisting to become citizens and battling those relentless bugs!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;But that&amp;apos;s not all. This episode is a feast for visual effects enthusiasts! We compare the groundbreaking special effects in &amp;quot;Starship Troopers&amp;quot; with those in &amp;quot;The Phantom Menace,&amp;quot; discussing Paul Verhoeven&amp;apos;s masterful blend of practical effects and CGI. We also reminisce about other iconic films like &amp;quot;Jurassic Park&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Mad Max: Fury Road&amp;quot; to showcase the evolution and enduring importance of in-camera effects. Plus, we touch on the satirical brilliance of &amp;quot;Starship Troopers,&amp;quot; which cleverly mocks fascist ideologies with its campy dialogue and over-the-top violence.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;And for the gamers out there, we&amp;apos;ve got something special. We delve into the profound social commentary of &amp;quot;Starship Troopers&amp;quot; and its influence on the contemporary game &amp;quot;Helldivers 2.&amp;quot; From its anti-fascist themes to its thrilling co-op gameplay, we explore how the film&amp;apos;s legacy lives on in modern media. To cap things off, enjoy a heartwarming snippet of our lives as we share a light-hearted exchange involving Rob, Thea, and Mr. Rath, shedding light on Thea&amp;apos;s bedtime routine.
