199: Starship Troopers with Callum Orr

Juvenalia

Singer-songwriter Callum Orr joins us to talk about Paul Verhoeven’s super-camp, super-violent satire of fascist propaganda Starship Troopers (1997). We talk about the difference between watching it for the first time as an adult and as a younger person, the effectiveness of the satire, we pick apart the imagery, we get deep on this thing.

Callum is @callvm.orr. His debut album The Trials Of Knowing is out now.

Alan is @alan_maguire. Juvenalia is his main thing right now but he does a bit of standup sometimes too.

Andrea @AndreaCleary_. Her other podcasts are My Favourite Album With Andrea Cleary and The Nialler9 Podcast. Her newsletter is at https://andrea-cleary.ghost.io/
